Chapter Text
Riz has just graduated Aguefort Adventuring Academy, which means he can take a much needed break from adventures and cases and the like, right? Of course not. Riz has in typical Riz like fashion thrown himself head first into a case that means very little to the rest of the general population but means very much to the little goblin. He recently found out through an anonymous source that Joda & Genris, the Harengon couple who live in Downtown Elmville, have been acting rather suspicious. So of course, Riz gets right to work with his conspiracy board, however, he doesn’t have a whole lot to go off of as his anonymous tipper didn’t leave a lot of information besides their names and that they have been quote un quote suspicious. So, he needs a plan.
“Adaine, please it’s for the greater good.”
“First off your plan is an amalgamation of like three different plans mushed together and plus I’m busy for the next like year, I have to start getting ready for college, I just don’t have time to own a house be married and spy on a perfectly normal couple because some rando decided to give you a call.”
“Actually, we would be renting a house, we both know I cannot afford a house on my budget.”
“You could afford a house if you’re entire budget wasn’t dedicated to buying red string”
“That is a necessity and you know it,” Riz retorted, almost offended by the concept of not having his precious conspiracy board.
“Have you asking Fabian to go along with this plan yet? It seems like the kind of thing he’d go along with.”
Riz practically lit up with excitement as the possibility had barely crossed his mind. He just needed to find him. At this moment it occurs to Riz that in all his planning he had left his crystal somewhere in his office and it was going to take at least 3 hours to find it so he was better off trying to track down Fabian the old fashioned way.
Then he realized he normally calls Fabian to give him a ride so if he want to go anywhere he’s going to have to call Fabian anyways. Riz Gukgak spent approximately 30 minutes looking for his crystal before realizing he has a home crystal, and he has Fabian’s number memorized because of course he does.
“Fabian hear me out okay, I have a case but I need your help. Here’s the plan, we get married, we rent a house near the suspects, and we live a domestic life to stake them out.”
“If this is your way of asking me to move in with you The Ball, I’ll do it but you could’ve just asked me outright.”
“No you don’t understand this is vital to the investigation! It’s the perfect cover whose going to suspect two dudes that are living together!”
“Probably some homophobic assholes”
“Exactly if they start getting a little too suspect of us we can blame homophobia!”
“Okay you’ve sold me, where’s the address?”
“I thought we should pick one together, I’ve narrowed it down to 3 different houses with varying proximity to the suspects for optimal snoopage”
Fabian starts to melt down into his chair as he realizes the absolute dumb fuckery he has signed himself up for.
