What: Yuichiro's disappeared, and Mika's not taking it well...
Rating/Warning: None really




[A - Residential/Shopping districts]

Mika had hardly even finished his post before he left the apartment. Taking his device with him, of course, just in case that idiot Yu finally replied anyway or someone else had something useful to say. But for now the most important thing was finding Yu, and obviously that wasn't going to happen if he just sat around.

From the apartment they'd shared to the store they worked, Mika was checking every place he could think of that he knew Yu frequented or thought he might have gone to. Periodically he'd stop to question someone, if they looked familiar or like they might know something, always with some variation of the same question.

"Have you seen Yuichiro Hyakuya? He's my age, but a little shorter, with black hair and green eyes..."

The longer this went on with no results, however, the more frantic Mika became. While he mostly could keep his composure at the beginning, if one happened to run into him after a couple hours or so, his worry and impatience were definitely showing.


[B - Everywhere else around Cerealia]

"Yu-chan! Where are you, Yu-chan! Yu-chan!"

When he failed to locate Yu in any of the usual (and then some places), Mika's search became less focused and more haphazard, venturing from one place in the city to another more or less randomly, just in case. He still made some small token effort not to let it show, but his worry had driven him to a desparate near-panic as it became harder and harder to deny that Yu could possibly be gone, and he might as well have not bothered for all the good it did.


[C - Wherever his resolve fails]

Eventually, however, Mika couldn't pretend any longer. The sense of loss and despair finally caught up with him for the time being, and he couldn't make the effort to even try to search any more. The most he could do was to make an effort to slip into the nearest secluded area--perhaps an alley, or a part of town closed and deserted at the late hour, or an out of the way corner of a park--before he broke down any more.

"Dammit..." he muttered, fists and eyes clenched shut tight against the pain and the tears that threatened to spill, for a moment nigh oblivious to his surroundings.

[Ene runs across Mika after he's already been looking a while, and while normally she'd troll and tease people when she first meets them, this guy looks too distressed to appreciate that. So she tries to be helpful instead, maybe she can calm him down. Ene smiles, hoping if she's easy about it, it will ease him. But if his friend really has disappeared... That's not going to be easy at all.]

Yuichiro, I don't think I've seen anyone by that name, sorry! You haven't been able to call him?

I could try doing a search for him.

[That's one advantage to being a cyber girl in a digital landscape, it's easy to scan for code. She'll be able to tell if he's just not picking up, or if he's really gone... She hopes not for good.]

Through the network! It's a simple process, here.

[Spreading her arms out wide, opening up what looks like an Internet window with a map of the colony on it]

Everyone has their own data signature. All I have to do is input their data, and there they are. I can hook in through the CereVice's, it's not a skill I use a lot because I have better things to do than stalk people, but it's handy for things like this. See?

[She inputs a few names at random she knows, names blinking onto various spots on the map. Look, there's your name there too, you are here! She's not probing any further than that into his device though because Ene definitely respects everyone's privacy at all times.]

Ah, Mikaela, is it? I'm Ene. Okay Mikaela, let's search for Yuichiro's data next!

Mika, got it~

[Running the search for Yuu, the map glows blue for a second--

And then a slew of error messages appear, since she searched the entire map and there's so many places Yuu isn't, she gets buried underneath them all, falling down crushed with a yelp.]

[It is definitely not a good sign. Ene pulls herself up with a whine, shaking off all the error notices, having them fade back into code]

Uuuuu! It's - h-he's not in the colony.

[-Damn it, she should have broken that more gently.]

Mika, listen, how long has he been missing? Sometimes people disappear for a bit, he might be back soon.

Eh - because, there's no trace of him... But that doesn't mean he's gone for good.

Haven't you seen it? Sometimes people just disappear for a little while, it's scary when it happens but there's a chance he'll come back. That's why I asked, when did you last see him?

I... I don't know.

[She wishes she had more than that to give him, but she doesn't, and it's awful. This won't cheer him up at all.]

It can take a few weeks, if there's any way to tell I haven't found it yet... It's something you have to wait out.
