Koizumi - anyone is free to jump in

[Lin was growing wary of this time of year. That damned kissing weed was showing up again, hampering her officers and generally provoking an air of paranoia, nerves and embarrassment mixed with ridiculous glee. She was not amused. At the moment, however, she had only been affected once, and it had been in the relative privacy of her office. And she was not discussing it with anyone. At least she had all her memories this year, unlike last year. But somehow it still felt like flirting with danger to be out patrolling with Koizumi again.]

[Koizumi found this time of year relieving. So much had happened this year, he could hope the worst he had to deal with this time of year was a bit of harmless kissing. Plus things had been getting better in other arenas as well - his relationship with Lin was recovering, and his stint as a vampire hadn't ruined any of his relationships. More than that, closed space had been very rare recently - usually just when Haruhi had a bad dream - and he had started going out with Aqua.

So it was with a smile that was a little more genuine than usual, feeling at ease with the world, that he went out to patrol with Lin that night.]

[Other than the occasional passionate make-out session, the patrol was about as eventful as the last two weeks - which is to say, not at all. Lin gradually began to relax, though not quite enough to crack a smile. She hadn't managed to talk to Coulson about the memory loss last month, but really, given the circumstances, it wasn't hard to believe that it might have been part of the transformation going wrong, or something similar. But it had been pushed aside for now in favor of the Dark Hour.

Lydia was back - Lin had checked on the girl herself, if discreetly - which was a relief, but it still chaffed that she still couldn't see this Dark Hour people had been talking about.]

And now it's gone. No trace of it. No monsters, no strange atmosphere, no blood in the streets. It's just gone? That doesn't make any sense. Long-term things in this place don't just up and vanish. This wasn't just a week-long event.

[Koizumi had not forgotten about the memory loss - how could he, with everything he doesn't remember about Aqua as a constant reminder - but it was little different than anything else in his life, just one more thing he didn't have control over. It actually didn't bother him much, and so he soon dismissed it.

The dark hour disappearing, however, was more troubling. It was no surprise that was what Lin wanted to talk about.]

Gone completely. Or at least it appears to be - I suppose it's possible that the rescue team simply lost the ability to experience that dimension. Either way, it seems there's little we can do about it right now.

Regardless, we've had no reports of kidnappings since then, so that's encouraging.

[steelweb]

It's not unusual for there to be months at a time with no one taken, but if that time period is gone... Hm.

[Seta's video tutorial on the Dark Hour was required for every officer, new and old, once a year, now that it was available. She'd have to put that on hold for now, but she wasn't getting rid of the recording.

They drifted to a stop just outside the mouth of an alley - for once devoid of the sounds of high-intensity kissing - as she frowned, considering.]

If it turns up again - you know how things have repeated in the past - let me know immediately when the phones come back online.

[dontmindmepleasecontinue]

[Koizumi slowed his pace instinctively, following Lin's lead. He wasn't paying much attention to where they were - the night was quiet, at the moment, and he was thinking hard about the Dark Hour disappearing, and what that could mean. Unseen by either of them, a small spring of mistletoe began to creep over their heads.] Of course, Lin-sama, you'd be the first person I'd tell. Although...

If I remember correctly from Seta-san, the Dark Hour and the kidnappings were not actually related in his world. [There wass a small pause, then he turned to Lin and shrugged, somewhat apologetic.] Ah, apologies, I'm afraid I don't know what, if anything, that would mean for us. It was simply something I just remembered.

[steelweb]

Hm. Interesting. If they're unrelated, how did his team rescue the kidnapped victims? We never have had any luck finding anything related to the kidnappings.

[Lin looks up at him just as the mistletoe unfurls its last leaves and the enchantment kicks in full force. He's hers, and she wastes no time forcing him bodily back against the nearby wall, grabbing his wrists to pin him there. Rough and hungry, she presses herself possessively against him, kissing hard and hot, nipping at his lower lip and demanding deeper access. He makes the best reactions when he's startled into desire, and her eyes close as she bends her will to wringing the most satisfying sounds and motions out of him.

Her leg locks his back against the wall and she twists her hips, slow but clear in her intent. Her tongue slides deliberately along his fang, reminding and feeding both at once as her hand pulls his up over her breastplate, inviting him to run over the curve of it. He would have his reward for a job well done - teaching the young is so... rewarding. Tilting her chin, she presses up and in, and he won't be going anywhere anytime soon even if he wanted to, which he most certainly doesn't. Her hand turns to run her nails up his arm, the sheet's cool just beyond his skin. He'll make such delightful sounds when she finally--

Lin's eyes open wide and she jerks back as if struck, breathing hard, pupils blown, and completely disoriented.]
