[One would think that Kureo Mado would be ill-suited for a peaceful place like Johto. He's a fighter, and a pretty damn good one for a man his age. Being stuck in a world without quinques - without ghouls - probably should have been enough to drive him crazy (or crazier).
But Mado always rose to the challenge, and this was no different than anything else he'd done in his life. The investigator is currently seated in the Olivine library, surrounded by books. The piles are fairly neat but the books open in front of him certainly aren't. He has two notebooks open in front of him and flips back and forth between them, writing notes and reading passages in the books he has out. This is the sort of care and dedication that would go into any of his research back home, but what exactly is the former ghoul investigator looking at?
...Pokémon type matchups. To be more specific, he's studying dual-type Pokémon and what sort of strategies work best against them. He seems perfectly content to scribble away in the notebooks, seemingly oblivious to his surroundings.]

[That's said more to himself than to Tsukiyama, however. He had assumed most ghouls were very content being ghouls and wanted little to do with humans, outside of eating them and killing them, of course. It's fascinating that this ghoul studies humans like they study ghouls, though Tsukiyama's interest is through entertainment rather than a desire to eliminate the ghouls.]
I'm sure there are humans just as fascinated by ghouls, though obviously those humans would be considered odd.
[Mado folds his hands and studies Tsukiyama for a moment.]
You've certainly shed some light on how ghouls think. I suppose I should thank you for the lesson.

[Surprisingly, we're not a monolith.]
But if you really want to thank me, I won't say no - answer something for me, maybe.

Would you do it quickly, or would you enjoy it?
no subject
[There is one exception, but that's not something he cares to bring up.]
no subject
[It's a bit hard to tell whether that's truly sarcastic or not...]
Maybe it'll work out that way; of course, should you die upon your return, maybe I'll be the one that kills you.
Maybe I'll do you the courtesy of breaking your neck.
no subject
[Hahahahaha...]
But this isn't the sort of thing to discuss in a library; did you need anything else from me?
no subject
[...now he's just being difficult.]
no subject
Yes, yes, of course, how could I possibly have forgotten that?
[The words are very sarcastic, however.]
no subject
I'll leave you to your research for now, indagatore, though don't expect it to go uninterrupted for terribly long if you're planning on coming here to do it; this has been where I spend my afternoons lately.
[Only mentioned for courtesy's sake, obviously - avoidance and all that.]
no subject
I appreciate the warning, I'll be sure to keep it in mind.
no subject
As well you should.
