You me and Phoenix have been here for a while, but what about Dave and Chuya? I've never met them before then. What would they have that would single them out too? Who else do you know that totally disappeared?

[adornmental]

I know Chuya showed up in that new group of people, so I have nooo idea what'd single him out. Um... But I know Tsurumaru, Hakata, Nakigitsune, Imanotsurugi and Mikazuki were gone outta my comrades. Saitou and Okita, too. Lili's gone... I don't really know what connects any of these guys.

[There are more he could think of too, but he'd run into the same problem. No immediate outward similarities.]

[zerotohiro]

--wait Lili's gone? [That's the only name he recognizes and it's...kind of sad to hear.] Neither of the people from my world were pulled out, but a lot of my friends were? I checked the CereVice this morning. Two people from Ruby and Yang's world, my friend Dipper, Levi's gone, Adelina went...I don't get it. None of these people fit in any kind of pattern at all except for "maybe sometimes from the same world."

I think Dave might have shown up with that new group, too. He didn't seem to know a lot about how this place worked. Were any your friends in the same group?

[adornmental]

Yeah, Lili's - still gone.

[SO, probably dead. But he'll just. Deal with that later.]

I don't think so. Nakigitsune and Hakata aren't back yet, but it sounds like the rest of us got separated... Sooo, a bunch of people from the same world got pulled in but none of us ended up together. You should check with those two people from Ruby and Yang's world too, to see if it's the same for them. [Since he only knows two those two from that world.]

[zerotohiro]

...great. [That's a bummer. He likes Lili.]

I'll have to check with Jaune and Weiss when they get back. [They sure are dead, too.] But I mean that makes even less sense. Why bring in a bunch of people from the same place and people that know each other just to separate them? What're they trying to prove? I know what we found and what we saw...any idea about the others?

[adornmental]

[HE DOES TOO which is why he promptly decides to just not say anything about it and pretend everything is Okay.]

Not yet, no. Most of the people I've talked to have been pretty disoriented... But I haven't done a lot of checking around yet, either. I wanted to make sure you guys were okay, first.

[Since they were his little group!! He was partially responsible or something...!]

[zerotohiro]

...that's pretty cool of you dude. Thanks. I appreciate it. [And he does sound like he appreciates it at least instead of just blowing it off.] I know you're a sword and everything but you just got back. Maybe consider taking it easy? [He's pretty sure he won't, but to be fair if Hiro had his way he wouldn't be taking it easy after everything they saw either.]

[adornmental]

[He is right in his assumption because Kashuu is a worrying busybody at best, but he still appreciates the sentiment.]

You're a good kid, y'know? Thanks. I'll take a break after I check up on everyone else. [It's an extensive list and he's going to be roped into a makeshift search party BUT HE DID HIS BEST.]

You gonna be okay for now?

[zerotohiro]

Yeah, I get that. I've got some people I still wanna touch base with too. [He nods even though he belatedly realizes that Kashuu can't see that. He doesn't know how to respond to being called a good kid, but sure. Better than arguing it.] My brother's around and I have friends looking after me. I'll be fine.

Check back in if you hear anything else interesting though.

[adornmental]

[He sure is hoping he'll find something interesting to report back with. Scattered information that has everyone shrugging is just going to be a headache...]

Good, good! I'll definitely do that. Talk to you soon, okay?

[And with one of his three living teammates checked up on, Kashuu will hang up so he can CONTINUE THE HUNT.]
