[ Junseo's got the camera a little too close to his face as he holds it above his head while he dramatically splays across a sofa in an apartment that isn't his. ]

Uhm so...

[ Twisting the communicator so he can show off the room around him, the image shakes heavily for a bit as he sits up. ]

This is Jin Jinseok's apartment, only he's not in it.

[ Back to his face. ]

He only just got here, so he can't be gone yet.

[ Boy is that a hint of desperation in his voice? It sure is! ]

Someone has to have seen him, right? He is really short [ or just a little under average. ], and he doesn't like to wear full shirts or any shirts if he doesn't have to, and he likes to talk about himself a lot.

[ He'll be staring down the screen now, a worried look on his face, hoping someone's gonna have some good news for him. ]

I just checked my communicator...[Because explaining how to do it over video would probably be more trouble than it's worth] His ID's still active. So that means he hasn't gone home, at least.

[Too bad.]

[Video]

[dumbfound]

[ Oddly enough, as dumb as Junseo is explaining tech stuff too him is one of the easiest things to do. ]

Yeah, but even if I can still contact him he isn't here here.

[hunterrabbit]

[She's just going from experience right now...And giving him that answer had been quicker anyway.]

When'd you see him last?

[Video]

[dumbfound]

[ No one can actually blame her for that... ]

It's been a few days already.

[Video]

[hunterrabbit]

[Not hearing from someone in a few days would freak her out too. In fact, she DID lose her shit once- and that was only after a few hours'd passed...But that's also because it was Kaneki, and he's a paranoid idiot who constantly answers his phone right away.]

Alright...I haven't seen him, but I'll help you look.

[Video]

[dumbfound]

Are you good at finding people, Noona?

[ Because the world is a big place, and Jinseok could be almost anywhere. It was hard enough looking for him when Junseo was pretty sure Jinseok was just sill in Seoul. ]

[Video]

[hunterrabbit]

Usually, yeah. But it helps if it's someone I know already. Then I'll have any idea of what sort of places they'd go to, who they might get involved with...that sort of thing. [Knowing the sort of people Jinseok might talk to...doesn't help narrow it down. At all.]

[munies]

I'm sure he's okay.

[ Teresa's checked the comm first too, just to make sure she's not giving him false hope or anything ]

He didn't leave any notes behind? No missed messages from him on your communicator? Maybe he's traveling, or- work, if he has a job, maybe he's just been putting in a lot of extra hours.

[ ooook that was lame, she'll admit that. but like, just in her head. trying to be encouraging here!! ]

[dumbfound]

His job is just something boring that he wouldn't have to travel for, and he didn't give me any messages at all.

[ Flopping back onto the couch. This is so distressing. His tone gets whiney. ]

I just found him after he went missing for a few months, and he goes missing again already!

[munies]

I'm guessing you've checked the places he might go to hang out already. Does he know his way around the city, in general? It's possible he just got on the wrong train at the wrong time.

[dumbfound]

I don't know. I have been here a lot longer than him, and I don't even know my way around, but hyung is a lot smarter than I am, so maybe? I don't think he'd get on the wrong train even on his first day though.

[ He might, Junseo might just think too highly of him. ]

[munies]

I'm not sure what to tell you.

[ which so isn't what he wants to hear, she's pretty sure, but it's the truth ]

-- How long has he been missing?

[dumbfound]

Uhm... a few days, I guess? But most of the time when he went missing it was on business, and I don't think he's doing business here anymore.

[quantifies]

There is no minimum time imPorts are required to stay in this world. But if he has not left it, I would be able to track him for you.

video;

[dumbfound]

[ Give him a few seconds to stare blankly at the screen before. He's not too used to people that don't look like they're the same species as him, so it takes a few seconds for him to process.

And when he finds he's entirely unable to process what he's seeing he just gives up and goes with the conversation. ]

You can track him? Do you need like a t-shirt to sniff or something?

[ Junseo... this guy isn't a dog... ]

video;

[quantifies]

[And Croach is too used to humans needing to take a moment after seeing him, though he will never truly understand why. An alien is a very normal thing to be.]

It is not required...but it could be helpful. I would require some way of providing any of my twenty-eight senses with familiarity with this person.

video;

[dumbfound]

Twenty-eight...?

[ That sounds really fake, but cool!? ]

Hold on!

[ He drops his communicator on the couch and goes dashing off for a couple of minutes to come back with a pair of jeans. ]

Would something like this be okay?

video;

[quantifies]

Yes. If they were worn by this person and have not been laundered.

[Croach assumes this is the case, otherwise....weird.]

video;

[dumbfound]

[ Staring down at the jeans for a weird five seconds, before looking back at the communicator, sounding like he just realized something terrible. ]

I don't know when they were washed last.

[huntergames]

A friend of yours?

video

[dumbfound]

My boy...ss? Friend...

[ Both? ]

Yeah.

video

[huntergames]

... boyfriend?

[ Is that what he said? ]

video

[dumbfound]

Yeah. I mean, some other stuff too, but mostly he's that.

video

[huntergames]

[ A lopsided grin. ]

Mostly? Are you two not officially dating?

[ She's not judging at all. ]

video

[dumbfound]

No! It's pretty official. I mean, he's used the term too, so...

[ Not that it's done anything to stop Jinseok's wandering eyes... or hands... or mouth... ]
