01 ✧ Video ✧ Backdated to Sunday afternoon

[sanguineseams]

[Senketsu seems so calm and collected when the video starts, but those who are particularly skilled in reading others' expressions will be able to tell that he's clearly unsettled.]

Good afternoon, everyone. I seem to have lost track of a friend of mine, so if you see her, please let me know.

She stands at about one hundred and sixty centimeters--five feet and two inches--with dark navy hair with a bright red streak in her bangs, and bright blue eyes. Her name is Matoi Ryuuko.

If you see her, please don't attempt physical contact. She's very strong, and may end up hurting others or herself. Just...let me know that she's safe.

[He lets out an uneasy sigh.]

Ryuuko, if you see this message...please come back home. I know it hurts, but you didn't deserve to be kept in the dark. Too many things have been kept from you before.

...Ah.

So she really did run away.

[sanguineseams]

Nnn.

[If only he was the kind of person to revel in "I told you so."]

...perhaps there was no proper way to prepare her for it.

[databoner]

[He is the type to revel in "I told you so" so...]

So it really didn't matter when you told her.

[sanguineseams]

[Don't tease the kamui, kids.]

No, I suppose not.

[databoner]

...Like I told you.

[ FROM BLACK WIDOW: ]

Hurting others or herself? Not the best thing to advertise to a network full of supposed heroes.

[sanguineseams]

I'm not going to keep silent and hope for the best.

[assassinat]

Was it meant to be a warning? Could have encouraged people to track her down.

[ Despite what she's saying, her tone is distant, an obvious inkling to how detached from the conversation she is. ]

[sanguineseams]

Yes.

Am I meant to provide some sort of incentive?

[handwringing]

If she's run away, she probably doesn't want to be found. It won't help if you just send people after her.

[She miiiiight be speaking from experience.]

If she wants to come back, she will on her own.

[sanguineseams]

It isn't that simple. In past circumstances, she's always needed someone to help her come home.

But it takes the right person, which is why I'm only asking people to find her, not bring her back.

[handwringing]

She keeps running away, and you keep bringing her back?

[That's... dedication.]

[sanguineseams]

We don't bring her back, she comes back. Of her own will.

[don't even get senketsu started on his dedication to her, though.]

When she's ready, she'll take the hand that is offered.

[ Not in costume, so her ID prints as normal (KAREN STARR). She peers into the feed worriedly. ]

Senketsu? What's going on?

Encrypted

[sanguineseams]

[Oh, good, it's miss Karen. This means he can lower his facade of professionalism now.]

She-

When we were in Nonah, she was pulled in. But they didn't bring her from the same time.

I had to tell her what happened to me.

She didn't take it well.

[boobwindow]

Ohhh, boy.

[ She lifts a well-manicured hand, only to drag it down the side of her face. ]

Did you lose her in Nonah?

[sanguineseams]

[gurl where you get your nails did]

No, she wouldn't have run that far. She's either in Heropa or a neighboring town at farthest.

[ironbuttmonkey]

[Welp.]

...I guess all things considered, it could've gone worse.

[As in she hasn't lost her goddamned mind or anything yet.

He'd offer to help find her, but Inumuta's on that apparently, so he figures there's no point.]

[sanguineseams]

Bit early to say something like that, don't you think?

[ironbuttmonkey]

The house is still in one piece and noone's gotten hurt yet.

Small victories, Kamui.

[sanguineseams]

Well, she knows that she has to live here. She'd go out of her way to make sure the house doesn't get damaged.

[attractedtodarkness]

If she's hurt, you're probably making it worse by talking about it in public.

I'll keep an eye out.

[sanguineseams]

She couldn't possibly be any angrier at me than she already is.

[attractedtodarkness]

What happened?

[sanguineseams]

We come from different points in time. I told her what happened to me between then and now.
