Jack Walters, a Private Detective, is sent to the small village of Hinamizawa to investigate a murder that had occurred there. Though he's not the only outsider to have traveled to the village. Mathew Williams' recently traveled to the rural village to get away from his brother for a while.
The two, both being outsiders, soon meet up and Jack enlists Mathew's help to uncover what happened. Not long into their stay they meet a young girl named Rika, who's the village's Shrine Maiden. Jack is suspicious of her but soon decides that it's probably just him over-reacting. Or is it? dun dun dun
Let's see how this goes, huh?
((due to me being tired this is most likely awfully written, so if you've got any questions jus' go ahead and ask c: ))

 Jack Walters trudged down the main street of Hinamizawa. In his hands a slightly torn map showed him where the murder of the photographer had been, as well as the rest of the village. He frowned and looked around him, a couple of the locals were staring at him and whispering. This place creeped him out to no end, but he had a job to do and he couldn't leave until then. Jack had been asking around the village, trying to find out if anyone knew about the murder, but no-one wanted to even give him the time of day. He had a very bad feeling about all of this, but shrugged it off. Though ever since he had gotten here he couldn't help but feel like someone had been watching him. Sighing, Jack walked over to the couple. "Excuse me, my name is Jack Walters. I'm a private detective. I was wondering if you knew anything about a ...a Tomitake Jirou?"His Japanese was awful but it seemed to get the message across. "No. I have no idea who that is or what happened."Straight out lie. Jack wasn't that stupid. "Uhh...okay then. If you do hear anything then come talk to me."Not likely that'll happen. All he got in return was a "yeah sure" and the two were off. Jack rolled his eyes and continued down the street.

 Mathew Williams, aka Canada, walked onto the main street of Hinamizawa. His small polar bear, Kumajiro, clutched to his chest but despite this the locals didn't seem to notice he was there and for once he was fine with it 'cause this place was more then a bit creepy. Mathew zoned out thinking of the reason he came here. Alfred, his brother, had been bothering him to no end. Always showing up unanounced and pounding on his poor door.

 "Hanyuu...why must we always do this?"
"What?"
"Repeat the same nonsense over and over....I thought we had done it this time. I thought we had broken the chain. All those times we tried before had failed, time and time again we fall back, but I swore that this would be the last time."
"Rika~ Don't lose faith Rika-chan!"
Rika scowled at her counterpart Hanyuu, though her watchers would not understand who the look was aimed at. The girl gingerly picked up two cards, and aligned them so they perched together. Rika continued on, until at the 5th triangle, they fell again.
"See Hanyuu!"
"Hau~ Hau~ I'm sorry Rika~ I thought for sure you'd not knock it down this time..." Hanyuu quivered, fading away.
"You sly..."
Rika turned away from where Hanyuu was, announced that she resigned from the card pyramid tournament, and went to greet the new arrivals of the village whilst avoiding telling them about the current situation.

Jack fished in his jacket pocket for a cigarette and a lighter. He'd sworn to give up, but could never bring himself to. Placing the cigarette between his lips, Jack flicked the lighter a couple of times. Must be running out...great. Finally the cigarette was lit and Jack exhaled the smoke, watching it float up into the sky. Sighing, Jack looked back at his map. He'd still have to check in at the shrine, see if they knew anything. He doubted highly they'd tell him anything though. Looking up Jack spotted a young man carrying what looked like a stuffed toy. He slowly strolled over to the other man. "Excuse me sir, my name is Jack Walters. I'm a Private Detective. I was wondering if you knew anything about a Tomitake Jirou? He was a photographer that apparently came to these parts around this time." This man didn't really look like he came from around here either. Though he might still know something.

Mathew, who was still zoned out thinking about his annoying brother, didn't notice the other man approach him. When he was addressed he jumped and turning to face the other, his blue eyes widened slightly at the fact someone had noticed him. Him! The nation that was always forgotten, and sometimes sat on by Russia. It took him a moment to calm down and in his quiet voice he answered the question that was directed at him. "Ah, I'm sorry. I don't really know anything other then he was murdered recently. I'm afraid I don't know much more then that, I not long ago arrived here..." Mathew looked down at his sleeping bear in his arms for a moment before looking back up at Jack. "I could help you find out what happened, if you like. My names Ca- Mathew Williams, by the way." He smiled but inside he cursed himself for almost giving his other name.

Rika's extravagant tresses rippled like a billowing flag as she ran towards where she was told the newcomers where. It didn't take the girl long to find them, since one of them was carrying a huge bear toy? Rika stopped a short distance off and lifted a dainty hand in a rapid wave.
"Nipah!" she called out, now closing the distance. "Hello Sensei! I am Furude Rika, but you can call me Rika!" she announced, dipping her head.
Rika, though part of one of the founding families, and the most powerful beings in the Hinamizawa, always had as much respect for her elders as she could, often calling the sir or sensei unless they asked otherwise.

Jack nodded. "That's sounds like a good idea, Mathew."Jack took another drag of his cigarette, exhaling the smoke away from Mathew, before lowering his voice and leaning a little closer towards the light-haired man. "These local's seem a little..I dunno, odd. Don't you-"Jack paused as a young girl with long dark hair came running up towards them. He glanced at Mathew before turning to face Rika. "Uh...It's nice to meet you Rika."Jack wondered who this girl was, not that it mattered much he supposed. She probably won't tell him what he needed to know, like most of the others in this place. "My name is Jack Walters. I was wondering if you knew someone called Tomitake Jirou?"

Mathew's small smile grew slightly but turned into look of confusion when Jack leaned closer to him. He was going to agree with what the other was saying until Jack was cut off by Rika's arrival. "Ah... Hello, Rika. I'm Mathew Williams."It was then that his bear chose to wake up. He looked up with bleary eye's at Mathew and spoke in his monotonous voice. "Who?"Mathew sighed. There went his chances of pretending to be a normal tourist. Then again, maybe they didn't notice... "I'm Mathew..."Damn automatic response...

Rika looked from one man to the other, lifting her eyebrows in astonishment at how they towered over her."Pleased to meet you," Her fringe cast a shadow over her face as she listened to the question of whether or not she knew Jirou Tomitake. She did in fact, he had spent a lot of time with her gang, including Takano at the time. But, she knew what had happened, and so she didn't want to be associated with it.
"No." she stated, her voice deep and monotone, her fluent Japanese tongue forming clear words. "I have not met this man you call Jirou Tomitake. What would be the problem..." her voice changed back to its high, gentle voice, "Has something happened to him?" she asked, her face beaming as she tilted her head in a gentle smile.

Jack didn't miss the change in voice. He was a detective after all. Still he was slightly taken aback as to how quickly the young girl's voice changed at the mention of this man. Interesting. "He's-"Jack stops, his eyes glaze over. He can see those strange visions again. Someone he doesn't know, they're laughing. At who or what he can't tell, the room they're in is too dark. He hears people talking but he can't make it out. What's going on? He's stuck in this state for a few moments before it stops, almost as quickly as it started. Jack pushes a hand through his hair. "He..uhh.. h-he probably won't be around here anymore." This had been the second time today. Maybe it's the lack of sleep. He takes another drag from his cigarette and glances over at Mathew who seemed to be talking to that stuffed toy of his.

At this moment Mathew had tuned out of the conversation between Jack and Rika and was focused only on his small polar bear, who now had his head tilted to the side as though he still didn't understand who Mathew was. The Canadian sighed and answered the bears unasked question in his tiny voice. "I'm Mathew. The one that feeds you..."Kumajiro seemed to understand now. "And please stop talking, Kumakichi. We don't want anyone to find out about us..."The small bear looked down and remained silent for a moment, before looking up once more. "Hey, you. I'm hungry."If Canada hadn't been holding the troublesome bear he would have face palmed. If the other two haven't forgotten he was there, like most do, then they would surely start asking questions. For once Mathew wished he'd be forgotten...

Rika frowned as the man's demeanour changed rapidly. She was a little wary as to why this was the case, but pressed it no more. She could swear that....nope, it probably didn't talk.
Rika took hold of the man's hand and started to lead him away. "Sirs, we must find your homes for your visit. Where will you be staying?" Rika cooed,skipping sweetly.
(Dang that's short..sorry ^^; )

"Homes?" Jack raised an eyebrow. He had intended to rent out a hotel room in the nearby town, but he supposed that if he could stay here it would mean more time investigating and less time travelling around. Hinamizawa was practically in the middle of nowhere to Jack. "Well I uhh...As you can probably guess I-... We don't really know our way around here very well so..uhh...maybe you could suggest somewhere Rika." Jack allowed Rika to lead him, she defiantly knew this place better than he did. He looked back at Mathew and his strange toy. If Jack hadn't of know better he could have sworn that the young man and the stuffed toy were having a conversation. He must definatly be tired.

Mathew sighed at his bears comment, and the fact he hadn't called him by his name meaning he had forgotten it already. "I'll feed you soon, Kuma."Kumajiro gave a small nod then looked over at the two that were starting to walk away. "They're leaving."Canada looked up and seeing that his bear was right, started to follow them, thinking, 'I hope they didn't forget about me...'The young nation looked around at the locals who were still watching them. Or more specifically Jack as they still didn't seem to know he was there. This place certainly creeped him out and he'd been through the World Wars and more, for Christ's sake. He began to wonder why he had even come here, he could have gone to see Cuba, but that was a bit dangerous seeing as his Cuban friend had a habit of mistaking him for his annoying American brother, or to Germany to visit the one nation (ex-nation) that didn't forget he existed even though Prussia was one of the most egotistical nations he knew. Oh well, he was here now and had said he'd help Jack so it wouldn't be right of him to just leave.
