three (video+text) ♞ ❝it's a long, long journey.❞

[curepotion]

[ the video recording is obviously accidental.

Riku's back is to the camera, though his hand is on the keyboard. it more or less looks like he's getting a good survey of the room; you can hear a subtle exhale before he turns his attention back. he notes the blinking light atop the netbook with a quiet noise, and then proceeds to speak clearly, simply: ]

Sora's gone.

[ he chuckles softly, wryly. he can't help it. ] Guess he decided to go slack off back at home.

[ his smile quickly fades, though nothing but the lower half of his face (nose and mouth) can be seen. and seconds after, the video turns off. ]

[ private text to John Watson ]

The blackouts stopped three days ago. I haven't had one since.

You seriously think I didn't look for him before making this announcement?

voice;

[acemedium]

[Deflating.]

Well, no.. but... um.. maybe I could look too. Just in case.

voice;

[curepotion]

Why?

voice;

[acemedium]

He's your friend, right?

voice;

[curepotion]

Yeah, and?

voice;

[acemedium]

So if there's even a little chance he's still here, then we've got to find him!

[Pause] What does he look like?

voice;

[curepotion]

[ ... ... does she not get it. he just sighs. ]

He's got brown hair that looks like it exploded all over, blue eyes, and a ridiculous grin on his face.

He answers to Sora.

voice;

[acemedium]

Okay, got it! If I get any clues, I'll send them your way!

voice;

[curepotion]

--hold it.

[ ... if she's going around looking for clues, she might get herself hurt. or lost. ]

What's your name?

voice;

[acemedium]

[Had just been about to rush off, but-]

Ah! Um, it's Maya.

[... That was a pretty weak "Hold it!", though]

voice;

[curepotion]

[ hey he's not a lawyer, he has reasons ]

Maya.

[ he nods and gives a quiet noise of acceptance. ]

Right. Don't get in trouble.

voice; 1/2

[acemedium]

I don't think I got your name...

voice;

[acemedium]

..Trouble? Me! No way! I'd never.

voice;

[curepotion]

That's what they all say.

It's Riku.

voice;

[acemedium]

I guess you know a lot of trouble-makers! But I'm not one of them.

I'll report back to you later!
