The figure took a deep sigh. Okay. No one had shown up after a few moments, so he had to be alone. Eventually allowing himself to be visible again, he returned to his true form. Matt let the older features of the man whose appearance he'd assumed fade from his body, brown hair falling over his left eye as he tucked it back into place with a hairclip. He looked at himself in the mirror - freckles, pale youthful skin, hazel eyes... his mother had told him that he was beautiful. His father had told him that he was only good for stealing. Well look at him now, daddy dearest. He was out here making a decent buck. All he had to do was write weird notes about some rich brat and leave them at people's doors. This one had been difficult. The rich kid scooby-doo wannabe crew was onto him now. He just needed some money. He wasn't even doing anything that wrong.

He picked up his PS Vita and kicked back, knowing that the girl would probably have found the note by now. His notes on the rich kid and the basic facts of who he hung out with were thorough enough to get the job done - his contact had found him a good deal. Plus he scored this sweet pad. No distractions, not too far from the city but not too close either... definitely a lot better than those stupid dorms. He was free here, unrestricted.

"I think he lives alone," Ganymede observed. "Red hair..." He was looking over the guy's shoulder, undetectable, trying for a moment to discern what game he was playing before quickly regaining focus.

"I'm going to want to scry on him later, so..." Ganymede would float through some walls until they found the bathroom. Then, he would hold his finger to his mouth, signalling for Gabe to stay quiet. They un-ghosted, and Ganymede took a moment to reach down and pull a few red hairs out of the shower srain. Gross. He tucked it away in his skirt pocket, then took Gabe's hand so they could vanish again.

"I can use that to show Yuki what he looks like," Ganymede would explain.

This may not be the last time Ganymede snuck around in here. He was going to get to the bottom of this.

Gabe nodded, his eyes narrowing at the man. He could just as easily surprise this man like he had done to Hikaru. But... it wasn't right. The idea of surprising the man to find out that he was another pawn in this game hung heavily on his mind and he had to quickly shake himself out of it. Gany had dropped the field and Gabe couldn't help but make a face as the cat...boy? grabbed a hold of some drain hair. That was extremely unsanitary and he wanted to tell Gany not to, but alerting the guy now would only cause more trouble.

Once in the bubble, Gabe let out a sigh. "Gany, I think we should just... have the police come in. Let's get this guy in jail and let the law deal with it. We could be headed to a bigger person than either you or I can handle and... I don't want more people hurt." He took a few more breaths, trying to find his center and almost meditate on the whole thing. "Showing Yuki what this guy looks like is a good idea but we should just... get him arrested so if he finds out we've been scrying on him, he won't come after us again. He already knows our addresses if he's the one delivering the rest of the notes."
