Toshiko climbed in the driver's seat.

One of the notable things about Toshiko, and her vehicle, is that as distinct as it was it seemed... hard to notice. At least when she didn't want it to be. One would think a large red van would draw attention, but somehow it simply didn't. This suited Toshiko's needs so perfectly there was absolutely no way it wasn't engineered by her. The other notable thing about Toshiko(and more her driving then her car) is that she entirely lacked a driver's license. No, the redheaded mage was self-taught when it came to controlling vehicles.

And so the only appropriate way to describe the ensuing trip to the Daidouji mansion was 'harrowing'. Technically Toshiko had done nothing that violated driving laws. The lights, for example, did not have enough time to tell her to stop, so she didn't crash them. And, technically, she was just at the point where her violations of the speed limit were not long enough to draw any attention. At least this meant that they arrived quickly, and when the mansion came into view Toshiko slowed down. Well, there it was... the Daidouji mansion. One of them. This branch's.

It was a large building, styled after a Western mansion. Full of peaked roofs, and plenty of red on the exterior. Really, it was instantly recognizable. Toshiko reflected on the fact that her own family's mansion was much the same... though she hadn't been there in years. And she hardly had any intention of paying them a visit. "Well, here we are."

Toshiko's van pulled up in front of the mansion, and the redheaded woman stepped out. Without pause, she headed right for the door and knocked sharply on the door... and she was almost immediately greeted, not by one of the Daidouji family, but by a maid.

"A-ah... are you the detectives Daidouji-sama hired?"
