*So, Tarou's at SAI.

At the obviously very generous suggestion by Shian, Tarou decided that yes, SAI might be a good place to learn more about spirits and their influences-- or at the least, he could compare his own information to whatever SAI had to offer.

The place researching psychic duelists and how to help them was also a personal bonus.

But still, he's outside of the building, checking his bag to make sure all of his notes are in order. It's a good time to approach him casually.*

*He happily reaches out with his own hand and accepts the handshake.*

It's nice to meet you too.

So Shian tells me that you do research on Duel Spirits. Specifically how they've influenced human history?

*Juudai gives him a nod in response.*

Part of SAI's goal is to not only give monsters and spirits who choose to live here the help they need to adjust to life on Earth and human customs, but also to educate the general public on them.
In general, you'll find the idea of them existing is generally accepted around Domino City.

That said, people who do research into them tend to be few and far between, so I'm always excited to meet someone who's taking the time to study them.

That's correct! This building used to belong to the Arcadia Movement that was specifically for Psychic Duelists, so when I merged my own organisation with it, we carried on the research, help and training for Psychic Duelists here.

*Juudai notes his reaction there, but he doesn't dwell on it.*

Oh really? Then it seems like you're in the perfect place!

[personal profile] i_like_red 2020-09-06 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)


*Juudai gestures towards the door.*

Alright then! Let's move to my office and we can continue the discussion there.

[personal profile] i_like_red 2020-09-07 05:31 pm (UTC)(link)
*Juudai's first impressions is that he seemed to be a rather nice, trusting guy who is very enthusiastic about his work, but he needed to make sure to not let his guard down, while also attempting to build that trust between them.

They reach his office and they go right in.
The office is spacious with a desk on one side and a couch on the other. The desk is littered with some paperwork, but also has some framed pictures of what you assume are his family.

As he sits on the chair behind the desk, Juudai motions to the chair on the other side, opposite him.*


Feel free to take a seat!

*He gives out a chuckle.*

I have a secretary to handle the more complicated matters, but there's always some kind of paperwork to do that also needs my attention.

I tend to be a more 'in the field' kind of person, rather than stuck in the office, but there are some days I can't really escape it.

*Juudai looks at the binders he pulls out. He's impressed with the dedication he has to his work and he feels he doesn't get to speak that often about it to someone who'll actually take him seriously.

At the same time it makes him glad he has Ruka to help with any research SAI needs, cos that looks like a LOT of work.*


So you had some ideas you wanted to run past me?

[personal profile] i_like_red 2020-09-08 04:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmn. *He stops to think for a moment.*
What causes someone to gain Psychic abilities is unknown, but it could be linked to a number of different things, from it being a natural innate ability some humans are able to tap into, or to possibly being linked to something relating to duel spirits or the 12 Dimensions.

I'm interested to hear your theories on it though.

[personal profile] i_like_red 2020-09-09 05:06 pm (UTC)(link)


*Juudai glances over his research and theories. It definitely makes his head spin a little with all the information, but it's also stuff that sounds quite interesting.*

I'm impressed with your dedication to the subject, though I can understand since it's also a personal thing for you too.

It's definitely something important to look into, so we can continue to better understand and help Psychic Duelists in understanding themselves and their abilities, but I can also understand the struggles you might have been through to just be taken seriously.

[personal profile] i_like_red 2020-09-09 06:10 pm (UTC)(link)
I really appreciate that! We have a researcher here at SAI who I'm sure would be excited to read over your theories.

Likewise, I'd like to offer you the ability to use what resources we can give to help you further your work. If you have interest in studying Duel Spirits in general, then I'm happy for you to use our 'Spirit House' here. It's a building where we house smaller wayward spirits that we haven't been able to relocate to a suitable area.
I'm sure our own researcher would be happy to discuss ideas with you too.

Yes. Her name is Terasaki, Ruka. You'll probably come across her around SAI and usually if she's not in her office, she's probably in the Spirit House.

*He thinks for a moment.*

I have considered the possibility for any Spirit that may not be settling in the Spirit House to be returned back to their own world, but it's... a process.
I know someone who does have transport that can travel dimensions, so I've been meaning to talk to him about the potential of using it, but I believe I'd need to find out the coordinates of any world we'd need to go to and that's the difficult part.

Most of the small spirits seem to do well within the Spirit House though and we've tried to recreate the environments they possibly live in, in their own worlds the best we can.

Some of the small spirits have kinda made homes for themselves naturally in the mountainous forest area just outside the city, but we do have to monitor them and keep an eye on any impacts on the nature there. There's some legal stuff we have to oversee and deal with too, since they're not a natural part of the eco-system and all that.

Thankfully any integration we have done seems to have gone well so far, but we have strict limits on what we can and can't integrate and how many. All that kind of stuff.
