Where's Pilouette? [ But he knows. He suspects, at least. He didn't see her when he watched everyone come in. He was then reminded people died, and today that people are coming back. But still not her - he hasn't seen her and he doesn't know. He sounds somewhat lost, he sounds choked up. He half wants to just leave the journal behind and...

Precis... ] I want to- ... Wait, what was that!

[ And then it cuts off- ]

[ Action ]

[ Because his house just vanished. So did the pool There's just a grassy field with a tree in the middle of it. Shiemi was out somewhere and now it's just him and Skarmy, Shiemi's seven foot tall murderbird of steel. Her and Rin loo confused at each other. And then Skarmy squawks at him before making to fly off. Rin ends up flipping her the bird before going to collect Midori the turtle and go off to look all over down for where his house just vanished to ]

Well what about you?

Think it was the third or the fourth day. [He knits his brows.] We met up with her an' she patched me up in one of the buildings 'cause we thought it'd be safer there, y'know? I blocked the door with a chair so we were workin' on gettin' out through the window but then these guys heard us an' bashed their way in.

[Plenty of people read. Just not everyone is on ~~Facebook~~ the journals all the time.

Another ten minutes.]

Seems like these shifts have gotten worse. [Since the draft. Definitely since the draft.]

I'd be careful where you stand. Would be unfortunate if a table shifted back in where you were standing.

Really, it all just disappeared?

[He realises how stupid his question is after he asks it, since he has the proof that the house isn't there right in front of him. Sure he was aware of all the strange goings on like appliances changing and things disappearing, but a whole house vanishing is on a whole other scale.]

... At least you didn't disappear along with it, I guess.

[ This time with no delay, because he was answering someone else here and: ]

Wait, seriously?! You think that's possible?!

Wait, so she got stuck in there with 'em?

...Yeah I guess so. But where would I even go, if I vanished with the house?

[ And frankly... ] Where even is the house?

I don' know. She was hidin' under the desk an' I broke a chair over a cultist's head. But there was six of 'em closing in an' then, iunno, I jus'... [He shakes his head incredulously] ...I can't remember nothin'.

Considering everything else that happens here, why not?

I, uh... [Good question.] I don't know.

[He blinks a couple of times as he thinks about this, feeling much too tired to be thinking about where houses go when they... Disappear. Yeah. Or maybe he's tired enough to give putting thought into something like that a go in the first place.]

Maybe it's like when people are taken away, only it was your house that was taken instead. [Sorry Rin your house was kidnapped. Sans droids.]

Not even how you got out? ... But wow, that's scary.

Oh man, I hope that. That's just spooky...

--They're experimenting on my house?! Why would they even do that?!

Yeah. The worst part is, when I woke up, I wasn't even in the building no more. Ain't sure where I ended up but I was outside [--bodies everywhere--] an' I couldn't move or breathe right. I was real lucky Steve found me when he did. [His eyes darken as memories roll over him and guilt sinks in deeper.] Ain't seen Pils since.

They might not be doing anything like that... They might just have taken it for the heck of it! [SHRUG. Plenty of other experiments and kidnappings happen out of the blue, so why not housenappings.] I said I didn't know!

[Thinking hard at the best of times. Still sleepy. Gives Rin an annoyed sounding grunt... Yawns again. Bluh.]

So you blacked out entirely? [ Oh wow, that is super spooky. He wonders if this guy has some other form. Or if someone saved him ... ]

Well that's just weird, so I'm not buying that!

[ But wait . . what should he say here and- ]

Wait, are you tired?

Yeah an' I don' even know for how long. The whole thing's been eatin' at me... [His brows furrow and when he blinks and turns his gaze back onto the screen his eyes are sharp and shining with anxious energy and the tears he's fighting to blink away.] ...what if Pils is... is [--dead--] gone 'cause a' me?

What was what? Is everything all right?

[Rin, you've got to stop giving him heart attacks like this.]

Edited 2014-06-17 06:37 (UTC)

[ What... does one even say to that. He frowns to himself at this, and then tries to thin of a reply. He tries to pretend he's not thinking that himself a little, and that he's any more in control of his emotions than this guy. But... ]

Oi, this ain't a chat people should be having on the journals.

My house just disappeared!

Kind of. I didn't get much sleep last night.

[The dream he had about everything going dark and then it feeling as though he was drowning in burning hot death all over again kind of made going back to sleep a little difficult.]

I thought a walk would help wake me up. [It hasn't done him much good, so far.] ... Your turtle is getting away. [Slowly. But it's making steady progress!]

Don't worry, she's pretty slow.

[ Because that isn't something we need to worry about. Instead, he just tilts his head ]

Why didn't you just sleep more?

The entire house?

The whole house.
