The loud screech of tires followed by honks and shouts of disdain from fellow drivers; angered by Toshiko's reckless driving. Such driving that normally made the passengers bounce around in their seats with sharp, sudden turns, which made it all the more amazing that the woman had not been arrested already for frenzy driving on the road.
Yet, through all of it, Nex slept with arms folded; not bothered in the least about it and as long as there was no immediate danger to his life. Then even her reckless maneuvers wouldn't bother him for he had been in far rougher trips than this.
Not till the van came to a stop did his eyes open to the sight of the Daidouji mansion and the relieved expressions on the others faces. Like so, he stepped out of the van and was one of the last to get out as he trailed behind everyone. He always preferred to keep to the back as it allowed him a better view of the area, that and to keep the others in his sight at all times. His eyes fell onto the large mansion, but had no opinion for he didn't care one way or another about it and simply took the time to search the building and surrounding area. Gazing over the area to find anything out of place or didn't belong before the group reached the main door where a shy looking maid would be waiting for them. Peering at the woman with cold, glaring eyes; studying her expression and bodily movement as to Nex, everyone was suspected as an enemy until proven.

I'll have my post up in an hour or two.
There was simply too many possibilities and little information to possibly help at this point, so it was pointless to bother with any more questions. It was best to use this visit to Daidoji estate and hope to discern some clues that could help move this case on. This heirloom certainly had to be important if the various branches of the family were willing to fight over it, though, possible that an outside thief used the family's feud to sneak in and swipe this mysterious item, which the family was going to great length to keep a secret.
Whatever the case, their job was simply to find the one responsible and to return the heirloom; Nex could care less what it could be and simply wanted to get this case over with. Like the others, he would make his way out to the garage where the red van would be waiting for them, which was luckily big enough to accommodate all of them. Still, another vehicle or two would be better for in case of more members or emergencies, but at least for now the van would do.
Upon reaching the van, Nex would make his way to the furthest seat in the back and once settled in, would fold his arms while leaning back to relax. Thinking this would be a good chance to take a brief nap; closing his eyes to soon drift off into a light sleep.

Standing up off the floor as Toshiko explained about the case, which had to do with some family heirloom being stolen; nothing odd about that. What was strange was that it was taken without a trace or tampering of breaking in, something only a professional thief or one with a special type of ability could pull off. This case already seemed troublesome; only to get worse after hearing that this family had been broken up into many branches, which if it truly was done by one of said branches, made it all the harder to find the suspects.
Gaining information would be key to this case as well as finding out if it was an inside job or hired hand, but trying to process and eliminate the suspect from all the various branches was by no means a small feat. Thankfully the agency had multiple members to split up; two questions that came to mind regarding the family heirloom.
Stepping closer to the others then looked at Toshiko.'Are any of the family branches relationships worst than others? and...have any of them strongly desired the heirloom?'He asked these two questions thinking they might help to weed out any branches that are less likely to be involved in this case.

well, can't help it if no one's posting, but yeah.
it happens..slow starts for rp's, long as we can get it rolling soon.
just wanted to make sure it was known in case of waiting for an enoch post heh.
Oh, just to let you know in case you're waiting for hatakekuro to post. He's away on vacation right now and won't be able to post for now.
Amusing, the only word he could think when thinking of how long a drought the agency had been through and was desperately in need of a case. Not just for money, but for the members as well. The lack of work made one grow weary and any honed skills slacken, though he made sure to keep up with his daily training to avoid such happenings.
It wasn't the fact that they were struggling, more that he actually did have money from...prior work; unfortunately having promised to only use said money for extreme emergencies, otherwise to only use the money earned from the agency. Still, Nex wasn't known for big spendings anyway and normally only bought the bare necessities and simple food or supplies. The one thing he missed was his gun for he preferred keeping one on his person; a part of him as well a way to ensure his safe, but the city was extremely strict on guns to the point that even *they* couldn't get him one and so had to settle with a specially made nail gun.
At least he had that rather than nothing at all as it was belted to his lower left back, ready at all times for in case of a job coming up.
Picking up a bullet to peer over its clean, smooth surface, while Toshiko tried to calm Jun down then mention how she wouldn't tell of the case till everyone was here. The woman seemed to have a certain air about her that seemed to gain the respect from those around her. She seemed like a good leader, albeit the short temper and smoking, though everyone had their own..quirks.
Not long before three more arrived, two other members and the third a familiar, though Nex did not see her as a member himself. The one who kept himself nicely groomed and proud of his looks had a slight snobbish feel; yet the fact he brought food showed he didn't let it get to his head completely. He started picking up the bullets and placing them back in the pouch since they would be told about the case and to set out shortly afterwards.
