Scared me half to death... Honestly, what on earth got into him? And why should I even care?! I shouldn't have worried in the first place, I just thought that he might be a nuisance to someone else... He probably already is a nuisance to everyone else, I'm certainly not special.

If anyone needs me, I'll be laying some spirits to rest. Tatsumi, I'll try not to be too noisy when I return, so you can go ahead and rest.

[Anyone looking for Issei will find him wandering the halls praying at ghosts. It doesn't seem to do much, but he hasn't been attacked yet either, so...]

She clapped a hand over her eyes, sighing out a single word: "Envy."

Yamato-Takeru's yellow eyes narrowed a bit and he made a non-committal grunt.

After a moment to puzzle that out, Issei shuddered. "I'd punch myself too, if I thought I were Envy. It's not difficult to imagine him annoying Greed, or anyone for that matter."

"That's just great. We're trapped on a haunted ship with a shapeshifting psychopath."

Naoto gave Issei a sidelong glance while her brain entertained the possibility that she could very well be speaking to said psychopath... But the thought passed as quickly as it had surfaced. Yamato-Takeru continued to glare down at the monk.

"We should probably... warn everyone. At least if everyone is aware of the situation, it might make it more difficult for Envy to maintain his current disguise..."

Issei nodded. "The idea has some merit. Do you want to make the announcement, or will I do it? You have more experience with him, unfortunately." He sighed. "Honestly, I hate having to question others' credibility like this."

"As do I..." Naoto said softly. "But being a detective makes one naturally suspicious of others. It's how we apprehend criminals."

She pulled out her phone. "I'll go ahead and do it. It's my job to look out for everyone on the community, isn't it?"

"Monks aren't very good at judging others," he replied with a soft smile. "Mm, I most likely should be equally as concerned for everyone's welfare, but you're better at your job than me..."

Naoto's brows creased as she frowned.

"Damn. I think my phone just died. Or it could just be interference from all the supernatural activity."

She sighed. "Perhaps its best if I investigate this matter more thoroughly. Would you mind telling me where you last saw Greed? I should like to get an eye-witness testimony from him, if I could."

"He was out on the deck, near the railing." Issei gestured in one direction. "I wish you more luck with that than I received."

"Right." Naoto made her way to the door. She paused before exiting, turn to wave to Issei. "Thanks for the tip!"

And with that, she left to go find the greedy Homunculus.
