Phillip had returned to the sensoriums, deciding to test on a theory that he was putting together. It was true that without Shotarou around, he was unable to become Double, but at the same time, the use of the solid projections caused him to want to test out if he still could.

Bringing up a recreation of the Narumi Detective Agency was easy enough, and both Shotarou and Akiko faded into view with Ryuu at the counter, making coffee. Everything seemed to be in order, down to the last thing with Akiko reading a fashion magazine and Shotarou tapping on the classic typewriter at his desk.

"Oi, Phillip, something on your mind?" inquired Shotarou from the side.

"Ah. Just wanted to test something out. Transform with me will you?"

The Shotarou construction blinked. "What now?" He rolled his eyes. "Geez you're so impulsive at times."

"An experiment, Phillip?" inquired Ryuu and Akiko had set down her magazine, oddly quiet.

"Something like that." The conversation was meaningless, but it was how Phillip expected the constructs to react. He opened up the case he held and handed Shotarou the driver.

"Right." said Shotarou as he attached the belt. To Phillip's concern, the second did not appear so he attached it himself. This furthered the theory that a new link had to be forged with a new person. Shotarou picked up the Memory and clicked it as Phillip did the same. CYCLONE!

JOKER!

"Henshin!" chorused the pair as Phillip plugged his in and it went to Shotarou. But instead of passing out, Phillip watched as Shotarou's construct transformed into CycloneJoker. "I thought so," said Phillip sadly.

So, if a fight broke out, he couldn't lure his opponent to the sensoriums and transform with a construct Shotarou. How disappointing.

"AH! Phillip hasn't passed out!" exclaimed Akiko loudly who had gotten into position to catch his limp body.

It all broke out into bedlam from there.

Laurie had been searching for a means to calm herself. She hadn't gotten a good scare like the news of the contagion being released in a while (not since one of her teachers had been killed one night) and she needed to just hide away for a bit in thought.

However, when she enters the sensoriums, what she finds is anything but a quiet place to think.

The bedlam quickly turning into a tugging fest as Shotarou dissolved his transformation quickly, Akiko turned towards Laurie. "Ah! A client! Ryuu, coffee!"

Ryuu rolled his eyes as Phillip chuckled. "Sorry you had to see that," he said apologetically to Laurie. "It seems my imagination is running off with it."

"Though," added the Shotarou projection as he sidled up to Laurie. "I'm sure a lovely client like yourself has quite the interesting tale for us."

POK! Akiko's slipper came down on Shotarou's head as she dragged him away.

Laurie is blushing and possibly stammering mentally incoherent thoughts at the close proximity she and that boy had been in. She isn't used to strangers just sidling up to her like it's perfectly natural. Because to her, it isn't.

"Ummm," she finds her voice. "I guess so..."

Tsukasa blinked. He meant to come in for some training, but...

"What in the world is going on here?" He asked, trying to make himself heard over the insanity that was a normal day at the Narumi Detective Agency.

"Oh Tsukasa," greeted Phillip as the CycloneJoker'ed Shotarou and Akiko were wrestling with her dual wielded green slippers. "Good to see you again."

"He's another Rider?" inquired Ryuu with his usual fierce intensity, but at least it was toned down a little.

"Ah... oh yeah, we met him during the Dummy Dophant incident," said CycloneJoker before he broke the transformation, removing the Memories and handing them to Phillip.

"Welcome to the Narumi Detective Agency," added Phillip as he took the Memories from Shotarou.

"If this is how you are normally, I wonder how you keep in business, Philip." Tsukasa said, sitting down on the small table in the middle of the room.

He looked to Ryuu. "Yes, I'm a Rider; a passing through Kamen Rider, so remember that. Now then, Mr. Assistant, why don't you get me some coffee, since I'm feeling rather parched right now, okay?"

To complete the show of utter smug, Tsukasa leaned back and smiled a little.

"Why you--!" Up went Accel's gunblade and Akiko tackled Ryuu to the floor and started hitting him with slippers to make him drop it.

"I'll get it," sighed Shotarou at Ryuu's hairtrigger temper.

Phillip smothered a wide grin under his hand. "It's chaos, but it's home. Really though we're very professional on the case."

"Nyow!" exclaimed Shotarou to a cat on the windowsill and it meowed back.

"... most of the time." corrected Phillip.

Tsukasa chuckled. "Your world certainly seems to be an...interesting one, Philip."

He stood up and breezed over to where Akiko and Ryuu were struggling, and deployed his camera; then, he took a few pictures of the epic battle of epicness.

Said cat plodded over and he picked up Mikku, the Peruvian Shorthair purring contentedly in its owners arms. "We have our moments. This is about par for the course. Although their comicalness may be enhanced a little from my memories running the scenario."

Pok Pok Pok went Akiko's slipper before Ryuu stopped death glaring Tsukasa. "Fine I won't kill him," spat the Police Officer. Akiko grinned and hugged him.

Shotarou came back with a cup of Ryuu's coffee and he offered it to Tsukasa before removing the Driver from his waist. "Oi, Phillip. Why didn't the Henshin work properly?"

"It was the lack of a physical body to transmit myself into," said Phillip as he replaced the driver and Memories into it. "That's as far as I can figure."

Tsukasa took the coffee and sipped it, giving Ryuu a look that plainly said, You couldn't take me even if you wanted to.

"You need a physical body to become Double, Philip?"

Ryuu shot back that usual challenging look of his, somewhere along the lines of I'd Trial your ass so fast... It gave Phillip pause if Ryuu would really rise to Tsukasa's baiting so quickly.

"I do. The Memories I use are the Soul Memories, meant to be joined in the body of the user of the Body Memories." Phillip turned the open case around so that Tsukasa could see the six memories sitting there with the two drivers side by side.

"So, that means you need a new partner." Tsukasa ran through a quick mental list of the people he has met since awakening.

"Hmm...there is one person I know who would enjoy being that new partner, but he's still a child. I don't think he has the courage to ride with the Devil yet."

"Hmm, I'd like to keep children out of it preferably," said Phillip, shrugging at that. "Do you have any other people who would know and be willing?"

"Let's see..." Tsukasa started pacing around a bit thinking about the people he's met.

"Of those I know well, I don't think they would make good candidates. Most of those already have powers; Riders, magical warriors, etc."

"That does make things difficult then," said Phillip as he played with the edges of his blank book. "With existing powers it would be difficult to predict what kind of effect the Rider transformation would have on someone."

"Although I could call out and see if anyone would be willing to volunteer for an experiment." added Phillip thoughtfully.
