friday....

[preowned]

[ well, after tsuru finds cloud, he is turning right around to return to the dojo to check in on everyone else.

and pause at the entrance. ]

Cloud was at Aurora Barealis and it was on fire. [ wait ] Where is Mikazuki?

[philandery]

Cloud? Seriously?

[ he'd just barely made it back in one piece yesterday, and now...

...now someone else is missing, too. ]

...Haven't seen him. He wasn't with you?

[wisterin]

... After he came back yesterday, too.

[ everything is bad today, as usual. ]

Mikazuki-san wasn't here when I woke.

[ she is so concerned. ]

[overruns]

[ cloud... though the second part is added alarm. ]

...I thought he had left with you.

[preowned]

Yeah. The fire was pretty... intense.

[ he coughs, because he was a fool who did not cover his face. ]

No, he wasn't. I didn't get a chance to look around before I left here.

[preowned]

Ah... what an annoying old man.

[ :breaks phone: ]

[preowned]

No... my feet just started walking on their own. Mollymauk and I found the body together.

[philandery]

You alright?

[ hopefully no petals come out... if there's any soot on his clothes, sylvain will try to help brush it off. ]

...Should we try sending a message to his room? Have you already checked there?

[preowned]

No, I came straight back here.

[ BECAUSE HE DIDN'T KNOW THE BITCH WAS MISSING!!! ]

[wisterin]

He doesn't know how to dress himself. Where does he think he can go without a caretaker?

[ the last time he went somewhere alone.... she remembers!! this stupid moon!! ]

[preowned]

I guess we are going to have to scold him when we find him? He can't go that fast.

[ he looks around the room again like mikazuki might suddenly jump out of hiding. ]

[philandery]

So you didn't leave the dojo together, either...

[ sorry i am so confused right now and so is sylvain, when did everyone wake up when did mika even leave? DANA WHY!!!!! ]

Does he normally go off on his own like this?

[preowned]

[ ... he just chuckles, like sylvain said a very funny joke. ]

All the time.

[philandery]

...I see.

[ ...yeah that tracks, actually. maybe he shouldn't be worried, but it's body announcement day, so. ]

Guess we should probably start looking around the place, just to be sure.

[ maybe jiji is just in the armory, haha. wouldn't that be nice! ]

[preowned]

If I spot him, I'll let you all know. Through... texting.

[ typewriter. ]

[philandery]

I'll do the same.

[preowned]

Thank you. This is why Mikazuki thinks so fondly of you...

[wisterin]

The degree of how much we make his ears bleed depends on how much it's him and how much it's the hotel.

[ she is counting on tsuru's sword senses to find jiji. old clown sword communication to old clown sword. ]

[philandery]

Now the pressure's really on.

[ ...ugh. this really sucks. ]

[preowned]

We'll figure it out, Sylvain.

[preowned]

You would think the hotel would have enough fun for one night.

[ he coughs ]

[philandery]

Yeah, we will.

[wisterin]

There's not enough entertainment, it seems.

[preowned]

[ he looks over at dimitri. fuckin cyoa. ]

There never is.

[wisterin]

[ yeah, all her fucking work on making dimitri hate himself 2% less undone by one cyoa ]

It's infuriating.

[overruns]

The same happened to me with Flayn...

[ THIS PLACE... ]

Perhaps he went looking on his own. [ ... ] We can check the guestbook as well.

[preowned]

If I run into him first, I will let you know.

[preowned]

He is alive.

[ it's said firmly. ]

We'll just have to figure out where he wandered off to.

[overruns]

[ ...he eventually nods. ]

Yes. I will let you know if I find him. Perhaps... it is another trick of this place.

[wisterin]

Shake him, too.

[preowned]

There are certainly enough of them.

[ he sighs. ]

... another thing, is while we were walking, there was something on the ground that we were stepping on. No clue what it was.

[preowned]

Extra hard! For every person here.

[wisterin]

Splendid, splendid.

[overruns]

Something on the ground...?

[ with their bare feet? he crosses his arms. ]

Was there anything out of place that you noticed? Like something last night?

[preowned]

Nothing. The room was so full of smoke we could barely see anything at all. We only found Cloud because some of the smoke parted.

[overruns]

[ hm. he hesitates for a second, but, ]

Well... I heard the phone ringing yesterday. It likely has to do with what happened to Cloud, but for Mikazuki to also be missing...

[ why is this dojo so cursed. ]

[preowned]

... are you doing alright?

[preowned]

Ah.

Did you pick it up?

[wisterin]

... I am angry, and I am a little tired.

[overruns]

Yes. But it was just some strange noises again, and a loud bang.

Unfortunately, it was too dark to see. [ so he wouldn't have spotted anything with jiji. ]

[preowned]

Hm...

Still! I'm sure we'll be able to use that tomorrow, thanks.

[preowned]

How should we help with that?

[wisterin]

[ there is an easy answer but no easy solution. ]

I want everyone to be safe, so there is... not as much help that can be done.

[preowned]

... we can at least do what we can to make sure everyone is equipped.

There are dangers at these things besides Thursday nights.
