Neptune [Narration]: It was a dark and lonely night, just like every night before, but that's the life I've chosen. 00:05
The life... of a Junior Detective. 00:11

Cinder: Uh, excuse me? Neptune: How can I help you, dollface? 00:21
Cinder: I'm trying to find someone. Word on the street is, you're the one to see. 00:25
Neptune [Narration]: I could tell she was already falling for me. Falling hard. 00:29
Cinder: Wait, what? 00:32
Neptune: Uh, nothing! Care for a drink? 00:33
[Narration] I was hoping she wouldn't notice the glass was dirty. 00:36

RWBY Chibi!
*Stereotypical Film Noir music plays*
Neptune [Narration]: It was a dark and lonely night, just like every night before, but that's the life I've chosen.
The life... of a Junior Detective.
And then "she", walked into my office. I knew the dame was trouble, the moment I laid eyes on her.
Cinder: Uh, excuse me? Neptune: How can I help you, dollface?
Cinder: I'm trying to find someone. Word on the street is, you're the one to see.
Neptune [Narration]: I could tell she was already falling for me. Falling hard.
Cinder: Wait, what?
Neptune: Uh, nothing! Care for a drink?
[Narration] I was hoping she wouldn't notice the glass was dirty.
Cinder: Uhh, no thanks. Neptune [Narration]: She noticed.
