[002 | Video | Backdated to Monday the 25th]

[acemedium]

[Well, isn't this a face you haven't seen posting to the network for quite some time, Exsilium. What's this weirdo girl up to this time, you wonder, clicking on her video? Surely it's going to be some kind of ridiculous announcement where she's grinning widely and--]

[Well, actually, she looks kind of distressed. And kind of shaky. But that just might be the camera, because she's moving around pretty quickly and you can see landscape behind her. But distressed, definitely that]

Sis, it's not nice to scare people! Are you trying to make me old and grey like Nick?!!

[And she clears her throat, though it's clear her composure is going the longer she speaks]

Has anyone seen my sis? Her name is Mia Fey, and she's a lawyer, and she's this tall [She holds one hand hiiiigh up (no, Mia isn't a giant, Maya's just really short)] and she's got long brown hair and she's really pretty [With a certain two assets you can't miss] and she's really good at defending--! Oh wait, that last one isn't a description.

A-Anyway, I can't find her, she's not in her apartment, and her phone's not working, and I really need to make sure she's okay, so, please, if you've-- [And it seems like her leg caught on something, because--]

Aaaaaah!

[--Because she's tripping and faceplanting right into the ground, dropping the tablet in the process and ending the feed. Yep, she just tripped and fell in the middle of her post, WHAT A CHAMPION]

[OOC: Feel free to action tag if you want to run into Maya in the streets, running around ineffectively looking for Mia. Yep.]

[Having experienced Trucy's disappearance just weeks back, Nicl Phoenix at first feels heart jump to his throat and his stomach sink to the ground. It's not a pleasant feeling, and suddenly his hands on the tablet are sweaty and threatening to shake. He grips it tightly and is about to say, as calmly but urgently as he could, something to help Maya calm down when she trips--]

... Aah! Maya!

[aceordisgraced]

[Maya needs to wear more shoes that are made for running jfc. Phoenix is already dropping whatever he was doing at the moment and grabbing his jacket, slamming his feet into his sandals (he needs more shoes that are meant for running), and messaging her even as he throws himself out his apartment.

Honestly there's no real reason for him to be in such a hurry. Maya's not in obvious danger. She just fell! She's sturdy and just falling's not going to hurt her... but she's distressed, and her distress is what pumps the adrenaline and keeps him running while he also keeps messaging her.]

Maya, where are you right now?

3/done and this entire thing was nothere/video'd

[aceordisgraced]

[He doesn't want to run blindly and end up far away from her, though. All he knows is that she wasn't inside, so the moment he's out of the building he slows down and moves at a brisk walk, looking around for the purple in the crowd.]

You're not hurt are you?

Action

[icy_heavens]

[Being out at the time Maya makes her post, Hitsugaya hasn't seen it. What he does see, however, is the girl running all over the place and nearly mowing him down. Fortunately, he manages to sidestep just enough to avoid her smashing right into him.]

Oi. Watch it.

Action

[acemedium]

Aaaah!

[Well, maybe she didn't run into him, but she did crash to the ground with a rather unpleasant noise]

[...And she's currently in that pathetic facedown position, letting out a muffled groan of pain.]

[video]

[trickstermentor]

Well that is no good at all, how long has your sister been missing for?

[video]

[acemedium]

[This answer comes a few minutes later, and Maya rubs her face after the ground so cruelly assaulted it]

It's been almost a week, I think, since I haven't seen her....

[action!]

[kneecaptain]

[ Bucky's a guy who keeps to himself, mostly, walking with his hands stuffed in his coat pockets and eyes on the sidewalk more than the road ahead of him. But Maya is making such a commotion, he sort of can't help but turn his head.

So yeah, he walks over to the girl. ]

…Are you alright, miss?

[action!]

[acemedium]

[Understandably, a girl faceplanting (what did she even trip over? It might have been her own feet) in the middle of broad daylight is pretty.... special.]

[Maya will just glance up at him as he approaches, sprawled on the ground with her tablet beside her (thankfully not damaged). She rubs at her face]

Ouch.... What's with the architecture here? It's totally out to get me...!

video;

[motioned]

[She's too familiar with this happening to not know what must have happened to Mia, but there's something that demands her attention despite that.]

Y-You fell! Are you okay?

video;

[acemedium]

Ngh...

[And she'll pop right back on video a minute later, rubbing at her face and looking pained. Clumsy girls unite?]

I-I'm okay! I'm okay! [Totally believable. Not]

video;

[debtor]

[i give it a solid 10

He was about to comment on the missing sister because that sounds like cause for concern but OH NO WHAT HAPPENED]

Are you all right!?

video;

[acemedium]

[She's the most graceful of us all. As for what happened: Maya Fey's face got into a tussle with the pavement. Guess who won]

I'm okay, just having... some technical difficulties...

video;

[sharpe]

[ Sharpe is frowning, clearly worried. ]

I haven't seen Miss Fey 'round, Miss, but from what I know of her, she won't be happy with you getting into accidents while trying ta find her.

video; 1/2

[acemedium]

[By the time she responds to this, she's at least recovered enough to do more than just groan]

That was no accident! This street is out to get--

video;

[acemedium]

[Wait, wait a second here!]

--You know my sis?

[action]

[imperfect]

[It would probably behoove Ed to pay more attention to the crumpled heap of tiny girl in the street than the tablet that just went skidding across the wet ground, out of her hands and into his path - but whatever, he thinks his priorities are fine. He crouches to pick it up, then looks down at her, seemingly more annoyed than sympathetic.]

Hey. [If she doesn't get up quickly enough for his liking, which is to say in the next nanosecond, he's going to nudge tentatively at her with the side of his shoe.] You okay? You dropped something.

[action]

[acemedium]

[Wow, Ed, so rude]

[And yeah, in that nanosecond, she's going to stay right in place, so that nudge might be necessarily. Slowly, though, she starts to pick herself up, attempting to squint (but it's more like a wince) in his general direction]

Huh?

video;

[perfectionisms]

She's not at work either.

Have you tried channeling her?

video;

[acemedium]

[...Welp, about that...]

Um, well, I haven't done any training in a long time....

ACTION!

[futurarex]

[Arthur is preoccupied these days, and checking the network is not top priority. If he knew what 'top five' lists were, checking the network wouldn't even make it as one of his personal top fives. He isn't brooding, and he isn't moping. He's keeping busy, and in times of idleness, he moves through the city, almost as if he's on an unofficial patrol.

It's on one of these walks that he sees-- that girl. The cheerful one, the one that irritatingly reminds him of Merlin, and as the thought comes to Arthur, he scowls a little, glaring at the ground. But she seems in distress--she's nearly running--and so he moves toward her.]

Are you all right?

ACTION! Ugh I lost this tag twice 8(

[acemedium]

[Totally brooding.]

Ah--

[She turns her head at the sound of his voice, and this would be the point where she crashes to the ground in a very ungraceful (and kind of painful sounding, frankly) faceplant.]

[Poisoned girl, this one.]

Oooh....

[whatsupcroc]

Maya...

( This never gets easier. )

Hey, you checked the tags and everything already? Talked to the Initiative?

[acemedium]

[There's a confused (and possibly pained) look.]

Talked to the Initiative..?

[action]

[andagain]

[Keith is out, walking his dog as usual during this time of day. But he couldn't help but notice the young girl acting frantically on the streets of Exsilium. He jogs up to her, recognizing her face from the police office but hadn't quite gotten her name down yet.]

Excuse me miss, are you alright? Are you looking for something?

[action]

[acemedium]

[If anything, Maya pops up (or popped up) more to assistant Mia. She's distinct, though, in the way she dresses so easy enough to pick out - and she'll just pick herself up, very slowly, face still smarting, and look up at him. She didn't quite recognize him yet, but...]

Ah.. my sister...

text;

[painfeels]

Hey. You okay?

[not that finding her sister isn't important, but. still.]

video;

[acemedium]

[Just... rubbing at her face, she nods and squints at the text]

Y-Yeah, I'm fine...

[inthejunk]

Sorry, I don't think I have. But I'll keep an eye out for her.

[This may be the first time he's opened his mouth around you without putting on any stupid accents. Missing family members are serious.]

[acemedium]

[Could this be the elusive serious Yosuke??]

Oh...


Thanks, Yosuke.

[audio]

[raisedbybirds]

I haven't seen her anywhere for about a week, now that you mention it...

[But Maya so clumsy.]

...Are you alright?

[audio]

[acemedium]

For a week...? [Maya nods absently, not that it'll show with audio]

I-I'm fine.

voice;

[bratworth]

[ Quietly but tersely: ]

She's not here.

voice;

[acemedium]

A-Are you sure? [She's distraught] You haven't seen her at work or anything?
