Medal 02 [Action]

[candothismuch]

[If anyone were to run into Eiji today they might notice that he seems to be a little distressed and looking for something. Or rather someone as he's asking people if they've seen another male who looks almost exactly like him. Unfortunately for him, everybody he's talked to so far has told him "No, they haven't."

Eiji frowns to himself but it's clear he's really worried.]

Tomoki, where are you?

Comments

[okayeverybody]

[Rei and Tomoki had been close friends for somewhere near six months at this point. It was a bizarre friendship, built primarily off a good work ethic and a similar intrinsic desire for the truth, but it was uncommon for them to go more than two days without seeing the other. So when it had been some time since Rei had last seen Tomoki around in his usual places, he got a touch concerned.]

[They all did.]

[When he went by Tomoki's place of residence, assuming maybe he'd come down with something and just hadn't left his apartment, only to find no one home, the worry increased.]

[He happened across Eiji in Venture Park, and was at least pleased to find someone that would likely have a more concrete idea of the reporter's whereabouts.]

Eiji.

[pyreseer]

[Her older half-brother is actually the person Rei Hino least wants to run into now, so of course she does. She glares at him fiercely for a moment before she realizes that he's too distress to pay attention to her facial expressions and possibly it hasn't even registered to him that she's there. Stupid brother.]

Who's Tomoki?

[Her accent isn't as thick as it was when she ran into Eiji a month ago.]

[hinavelous]

[She either left Ankh at her apartment, or he's somewhere doing Arm Bird Things, because he's not a purse accessory today. She's sort of glad for that, in retrospect, as it makes approaching Eiji much easier without an onslaught of OIs and shouting and general argument.]

[She slows her pace slightly when she notices how distressed he looks, and calls out to him before she gets too close, in case maybe he doesn't want company.]

Eiji? Are you all right?

[gigigigigigi]

[Hey, maybe the dude wearing a loincloth perched up in this tree knows something.]

You hunt? No find?
