Video | BACKDATED to early the 11th

[soul_sister]

[It's early Wednesday morning when a new video message turns up on the network. The nun seems to have none of her usual energy and the bags under her eyes are fairly pronounced. Flynn and Fluffy have likely put up with her pacing almost incessantly since dinner time last night, and even now she fidgets in her seat, fingers playing with an ornamental looking watch hanging at her neck.]

Has anyone seen Chrono? Short, grumpy, purple hair. He's usually with me.

... He might have been in some kind of fight, so I'll take anything. Or anyone to help me look.

[ ...swordsmanship is a special ability? ]

Do you mean people of certain talents?

[soul_sister]

Yeah, like that.

[devotedtothecore]

...did the missing have such things? That you know of.

[soul_sister]

... I don't know. Kano seemed pretty normal....

[ "Seemed". Couldn't the same have been said of Ch... no, come to think of it, he couldn't say for sure at all. ]

I see.

[ a bit awkwardly ] Do you have reason to believe that they were taken? As opposed to lost, or....?

[soul_sister]

Yes! [It's harsh and clipped, the sort of affirmation that comes from someone telling themselves it over and over.]

I know he didn't go willingly.

[ ...good enough, for now. A slow nod. ]

I'll do what I can. There's a few preparations I need to make, but I'll meet you shortly.

[soul_sister]

We'll go as soon as you get back. I don't want to run out of light.

[devotedtothecore]

It won't take more than a few minutes.

[soul_sister]

Mm. I'll be here.
