XXVII

[rashness]

[ Voice ]

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 ]

I haven't seen her come back yet.

[Rin's not the only one waiting. There's a first aid kit that belongs to Pilouette Ginia's been holding onto. By the time Ginia found Pilouette's body there was nothing to be done but take any personal belongings and move her body to somewhere safe.]

Everything okay?

Rin? {Come on, don't cut off like that...} What does Pilouette look like?

[In just two words he feels queasy and unbalanced, a chill sweeping through him. And reeling, he backs up and sits himself down on the edge of his bed, the journal heavy as a rock in his numbed fingers.] I... I been lookin' for her too. [He swallows.]

Left her a message a couple days ago but she ain't answered yet.

[No, no -- Maybe she was mallynapped.]

[It's when Caius is walking down the path towards the Flame Building from his own house that he spots Rin walking towards him. He squints at Midori, giving the turtle an odd look, before looking up a Rin with the same expression... And then he lets out a yawn. He didn't exactly have a good nights sleep and it's easy to tell by how his eyes look as though they're about to shut on him at any moment.

When he gets closer he gives Rin a wave.] Hey, where'd you find a real live turtle? ['Real live' as opposed to, say, a chocolate one.]

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

What was what? Is everything all right?

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