so i just got here

and yeah i got the whole welcoming spiel so can it

i got separated from my friend somehow but hes gotta be here somewhere. if u see a kid named gon that wears all green and is way to cheerful lemme know.

oh and what happens if u just skip school? theyre telling me i have to go to school when the new semester starts. ive never went to school before though and it sounds like a waste of time.

[Something about the tight-knit government around here, how he arrived, and everything they knew about him just rubbed Killua the wrong way. Normally he wouldn't even care to ask, but he has to wonder if there's some ridiculously disproportionate punishment for playing hooky. He's been here all of a day and he already doesn't trust the place.

The last thing he remembers from home was using Accompany On with Gon. By all means they shouldn't have been separated, and yet they were, which is why he's convinced his friend has to be here somewhere. Not that anyone at the base would tell him.]

['I guess not' implies it probably had nothing to do with that thing. Killua was real emotional about that.]

Then let's meet somewhere else.

[He missed you so much he's willing to compromise.]

[killectric]

im busy

[He'll probably just try and stalk him back to his apartment. That and he just doesn't want to.]

[pinpricks]

You can choose where.

[WOW. No faith.]

[killectric]

[No response.

But Illumi's phone will show the message as read if it has that feature.]

[pinpricks]

[It's less anything like that so much as he waits a whole five minutes and Killua's not responding.]

I'll buy you lunch. You don't have much money here, do you?

[killectric]

[Inviting him to lunch? He's that desperate... As for money, he doesn't know what he's going to do, but there's no way he wants any help from Illumi.

No response.]

[pinpricks]

[Whatever. He'll find him sooner or later. It's only a matter of time.

The swear-in, for instance. That's not far off at all.]
