Fourside Newspaper Discussion (closed to Lucas)

[mindofathief]

The day after Lucas shows Duster a book about the Runaway Five, Duster wakes up in the afternoon. It's not unusual for him, but he has to talk to Lucas. He spent the rest of his waking hours looking over a newspaper he received from the bar after asking for something specifically written about Porky in the era before Tazmily.

He skips breakfast and heads straight to the gardens, where he's sure Lucas is, carrying the newspaper with him.

Duster nods.

"I heard a few songs I think she sang in. She's really good."

"Maybe we should look her up, too. I mean, who knows what we'd find?"

If nothing else, Duster seems to like this trail of investigation.

[mindofathief]

"Yeah! I mean," Duster scratches his cheek. "Probably after lookin' at the picture closer. I couldn't find anythin' 'bout the other people in the rest of the newspaper, so all we got is this."

[pullsneedles]

"Ah! But we do have more names to look up now, don't we? We can add 'em to my list and look 'em up later."

He'll scan the article for that later.

"Good idea!" Researching his favorite musicians would always be important, but now they had more important things to do.

"Let's go sit down. I think standin' up in the sun makes my eyes hurt."

[pullsneedles]

Lucas chuckles a little. Some things never change.

"Okay," he says, bending down to gather his gardening things. "I'm just about finished here."

Duster finds a nice place by the overhanging plants, and carefully sits on the grass, holding the paper right to his eyes as to make out all the details in the photo.

[pullsneedles]

"Any luck on the photo?" Lucas asks once he's finished up his chores.

[mindofathief]

Duster doesn't answer, but moves his gaze towards the people on the Monotoli building. Maybe one of them could be a clue to why Porky betrayed his business partner?

He moves the newspaper to get better lighting.

Meanwhile, Lucas looks through his pockets for his list. Once he does, he smooths it out and adds the names Venus and Monotoli.

[mindofathief]

He still doesn't answer, but something's caught his attention.

"Lucas, in the theater, weren't there a group of kids in almost every picture?"
