TEXT; ID: TANK

[maime]

[Maine's roommate (the nice sunflower one, not the angry demon one) has gone missing, and he's kind of ticked off. Bed empty, no note, car gone. Rather than sending eight million texts to a phone that is clearly not being answered and roaming around like a madman (like a certain someone), Maine decides he may as well take advantage of the wide net that the network allows him to cast.]

Looking for Nagachika Hideyoshi
Short, bleached hair, smiles a lot
Missing at least a day and a half
Late for a meeting with my fist
You see him, let me know

[He probably could have expressed his concern better]

[enucleation]

where did you last see him

[maime]

In our apartment
Heropa, if it matters

[Turns out this mysterious aggressor is that space man roommate you've surely heard about]

[enucleation]

[ he knows where the apartment is

and how it looks like

from inside. ]

what time

[maime]

Evening, 23rd
Noticed he was gone evening, 24th

[enucleation]

[ kaneki saw him later than that.

Which means: ]

missing since 24th 11pm [ which was when Kaneki last saw Hide, when he accompanied him home ]

[maime]

You saw him last
Friend of his?

[thinhammer]

i dont think i've seen this guy but if i do i'll let you know!!
losing a friend sucks, especially when you dunno where they coulda gone to
and especially when you owe em a punch

text

[maime]

[Amazing, someone who actually understands the necessity of punching your friends in the face.]

Yeah
Needs to come back soon
Don't really know my way around the kitchen

[Hide cooks for them both because he's very helpful like that.]

[thinhammer]

that sucks :(

you should try cup noodles, they're the best and you just need to know how to boil water!

[maime]

[You would suggest cup ramen]

Those the ones that taste like cardboard?
[He's familiar.]

[thinhammer]

no
definitely not those ones

[ He doesn't even miss a beat. ]

ya need the good ones
or home-made ones
i've found some pretty good restaurants around here, but nothing that compares to my favourite restaraunt back home yet.

text - in case you wanted someone to punch in the mean time

[blastmode]

Awwww your little buddy didn't show up for dinner?

So considerate (text --> action?)

[maime]

[Beelz why would you taunt someone who knows where you live? That's just not smart.]

No

[Maine's not even going to both with a reply beyond that, but you better not be around when he gets home ten minutes later because if you are you're being approached and growled at.]

[blastmode]

[He is absolutely home AND out in the open. Sprawled out on an arm chair in the living room like he owns the place.

In response to the growl, he cups a hand around his ear(??? wherever you'd expect to find an ear, at any rate).]

Eh? you say somethin there, pal?

[maime]

[PRETTY SURE THE GOVERNMENT OWNS THIS PLACE you demon hoser.

Also why do you have to be a jerk about this, surely Hide has explained that Maine literally can't talk. Hide seems to understand his growling half the time, but obviously it's just white noise in this case. Though it's pretty clearly threatening given the taunting earlier.

Maine does growl again louder, as he cracks his knuckles, but he does "speak" up for your stupid benefit.]

Trying to start something?
[I will fight you.]

i spoke to him on the network only a few days ago
before your timeframe i think
though ive never interacted with him personally so i wouldnt be able to get any sort of accurate read on his location
that said i think youre jumping the gun with this

text

[maime]

[Well, this seems like a reasonable and articulate person. Oddly colored and formatted text aside. It's probably even a perfectly valid point. That said;]

Nah
[Your opinion has been rejected because Maine is neither reasonable nor articulate.]

text

[glowsferatu]

[ sometimes she isn't sure why she tries, but still she does. ]

im guessing you havent been here long because this happens literally all the time
it doesnt necessarily mean anything when its been less than a couple days
give it at least a week before announcing that hes definitely gone forever and never to return

text

[maime]

[To be fair you're dealing with a guy who is like 30% manchild and 30% bear so there is a high level of difficulty involved here.]

Didn't say he was gone
Asked people to keep an eye out

text

[glowsferatu]

you said he was mysteriously and suddenly missing
no ones heard anything and no one has any clue of where he might have gotten to
that generally indicates that hes gone
for how long is another question entirely

text

[glitchinthesystem]

ever think he poofed back to where his world is?

[ Hi, you big dumb ape he's throwing in the simple solution. ]

text

[maime]

[YOU'RE LUCKY HE CAN'T TELL IT'S YOU OVER TEXT]

No
All his stuff is still here

text

[glitchinthesystem]

would all his stuff from here up and vanish if he left?because that sounds dumb

[maime]

It might
I don't know
You sound dumb

[HMPH]

[glitchinthesystem]

I wasn't the one frozen in the sand like an idiot.
