[After returning home to find Kagami unconscious and hurt and hearing his explanation concerning the brawl between him and Riku, it's needless to say that Nike has been trying to get in direct contact with Riku for the last couple of hours. She was worried about him as much as she had been with Kagami. But now her concern has turned to full out irritation and hurt feelings all around. She was beginning to hate this radio silence from him. That's why she turns to the network while attempting to remain as calm as possible, but it was clear that she was still upset.]

Hey, guys. This is Nike again. Sorry for this second post from me in such a short amount of time from the last one. I just really need to know the current whereabouts of my roommate, Riku. Has anyone seen or heard from him today? Just today, though. Not yesterday or two days ago or whatever. Just today. He hasn't been answering his device at all and...

[Oh. Her irritation and hurt feelings are popping up again. Maybe she should make this short.]

If he's with you and doesn't want me or anyone else to know, that's fine too. I just....want to make sure he isn't alone somewhere or something. A little "I know" is more than enough. [How to end this?] Um...thanks for your time.

[With that said, she will sent a text message to both Mikleo and Sorey next.]

Hey! Have you seen or heard from Riku today? There was an incident. He got into a pretty bad fight with Kagami. I would appreciate any feedback from you two about this.

[What's that? A friend in need? Time to help!]

Have you checked the closet, zura?!

[Voice]

[drizzle]

[The suggestion may leave Nike feeling a little speechless because...]

Ah, well. That was kinda one of the first few places I began my search, but not for Riku though. I was checking up on the animals instead. Um....

[How to explain that she hasn't found the cat yet? Shiro, the dog, was okay, but the cat hasn't popped up yet. Komasan, please help her with this.]

[Voice]

[monge]

...

[Well, at least she checked it, but Komasan has some concerns.]

...How many people are actually missing, zura?

[23wishes]

Wait, is he missing? I haven't seen him for a few days...

[drizzle]

I wouldn't say missing. Not exactly. Just....he hasn't been picking up his device at all! And I really need to talk to him! It's an emergency kinda thing on my part!

[Her expression will reveal her concern, but it will quickly turn to one of irritation again. She'll try to take a few deep breaths though. This girl didn't need to know the cause for her concern. Now she feels stupid for doing this.]

I just want to know if he is okay or not. Just knowing he isn't alone right now is more than enough...

[23wishes]

... Did something happen?

[That look of concern on Nike is enough to make Aerith herself concerned. Riku was pretty weird the last time she saw him... Maybe he ran off...]

Video

[bindsthedead]

I haven't. Could he be out training or something? How long has it been since you last contacted him.

[drizzle]

Last night? Or after midnight today. Um. We...we don't usually wake up at the same time or see each other until late at night, and even then...

[She'll just get to the point now. No need to expose her issues with him.]

But I heard he was home today, and.... [How to explain without revealing too much?] Uh. Do you know about Kagami, by any chance? He's our other roommate and from the same world as he is. They look alike?

[bindsthedead]

I do- he's Riku's replica, right? Do you think he knows something?

I am afraid it has been some time since I last spoke with Riku. It is troubling to learn he may be missing, however. I will keep both my eyes and ears open, I assure you.

Voice

[drizzle]

Thank you! I appreciate it. The more people look, the easier it should be to spot or find him. I just want to know that he is okay. Preferably with friends, you know.

Voice

[dun_moch]

Riku has many friends. He is the sort of person who makes them easily, I think.

But that in itself may be cause for concern. If he was well and with friends, surely one of them would have told you by now?

[resoundingpledge]

Not today.

Not just here—I don't think he's been around the housing in Nonah at all.

[drizzle]

Does he usually hang out with you? I'm sorry. That may be my fault at that end. He still doesn't trust me in looking after Kagami yet. Even though I keep insisting that he should, and live his life a little more.

[notyourfathersosborn]

I haven't seen him, but if he comes around my way I'll let you know.

Do you think he got ported out?

[drizzle]

Norman! Thank you so much. I didn't know you knew him too.

[Hearing from him was a very pleasant surprise to say the least. It's too bad they met in not the best circumstances.]

No, I don't believe he did. He's still here. I-It's just...there has been an incident between him and my other roommate. I...I don't think he should be alone right now.

text;

[circulets]

I haven't heard from him, but I'll try to message him myself.

Is everyone alright?

text;

[drizzle]

I would appreciate that, Mikleo. He hasn't been answering any of my calls. Maybe he'll answer you instead.

Riku and Kagami got into a fight. A real one. The house was a mess. Kagami told me he badly injured Riku before he knocked him out. I'm worried about him. I want to know if he is okay or not. It isn't like him to leave the way he did unless he was badly injured, I think.

[dualismum]

Riku...? [ a beat ]

If he was Ported out, the imPort list on the network will be updated soon to reflect that...

[ Video ]

[drizzle]

Yeah. Riku. I guess you know him too, huh?

[At least, she likes to think so. It'll be easier to have more people actively search for him if it were the case.]

....do you think it was the case? That he got ported out....

[It would be a better scenario than the one she currently has now.]

How do we find this list on the network?

text;

[historiology]

Hm. Riku? Not today. Is he okay? I can ask Mikleo to come and heal him if he needs help. Or we can help look for him. I'm guessing he ran off or something after the fight?

text;

[drizzle]

I'm guessing it to be the case. With the way Kagami explained it to me, it sounds like Riku came out of the fight heavily injured. There was apparently enough blood for him to get self-conscious enough to clean it before I arrived home.

I would really appreciate it if you can keep an eye out for him. Even have Mikleo to check on him even if he took care of the injury. I'm really hoping he's in a hospital right now instead of drifting somewhere in this world on his own, you know.

[dejerate]

He got into another fight? I guess I can't say I'm surprised. He's fought me pretty much.....no, actually every damned time I've seen him. I'll let you know if I see or hear from Riku though.

[That seems the least he can do. He figures it is probably best if he keeps a distance from Kagami in any case.]

voice; 1/2

[drizzle]

Yuu!? You know him too!?

[Why was she not informed of this!?]

Kagami has attacked you too? When!? [Because she is so going to beat him up now.]

voice; 2/2

[drizzle]

Yeah. Thanks. That would be really helpful.

[It won't be long until she adds one more thing though. She trusts Yuu enough for this task, at the very least.]

Hey. If you do see him, make sure he's okay too. Force him to your house if you have to. I really don't want him to be alone right now.
