36th Wheel of Fate [Action]

[awakenedchaos]

[It's been a while since ν-13 returned from her mallynapping. Beyond interacting with a few people and briefly attending Luka's concert, she hasn't done all that much since - or rather, she hasn't done much that would affect most people

That's about to change today. Why? Because there's something that's been bothering her ever since that

[Albert is out on the porch early in the morning, enjoying the post-rain weather as he thinks about whether or not there's more gardening work to be done. Since community building 7 is right there on the way, it's hard to miss the girl heading on her way there.

...Why is she all the way out here?

Though he sees her, he's not in any rush to speak with her or ask her questions. Not quite yet. Maybe on her way out of the building.]

[awakenedchaos]

[It won't take all that long for her to leave the building again. Literally all she's doing is rush up the stairs to floor 4, check room 18, remain there for a few moments and go down the stairs again - all in all, the whole process takes about 10 minutes at the most.

...She'd storming off pretty quickly, though. If Albert intends to speak to her, it'd probably be best to do so soon. ]

[chikaidestroyer]

[Calling out to her might be the best way to get her attention, in this case. After giving the surrounding area a careful look, he calls to her.]

Looking for something? [Or someone?]

[awakenedchaos]

[It probably is... or at the very least, it's a quick way to get the girl's attention, as at the sound of that voice, she stops in her tracks, turning to look in Albert's direction.

...Right. He and Caesar both live here, don't they? With that in mind, it's not too strange that he'd be around right now, even if the timing's... not that great for her, frankly.]

...Affirmative. [She's honestly not all that interested in holding a conversation right now, but as long as as this won't take too long, it should be fine. There's still plenty of time left to search today, so...]

[chikaidestroyer]

[He nods slowly, still looking in her direction. Considering how little they talk, he should still choose his words carefully.]

Anyone or anything that I know?

[awakenedchaos]

Unknown. [They were drafted at the same time once - back during the very first draft - but that doesn't necessarily have to mean that he's actually familiar with the one she's looking for.

...It's possible, sure, but that's not enough to alter her response.]

[chikaidestroyer]

[He looks at her carefully at the answer. He certainly knows it isn't Yuber she's looking for.]

By your pace, it seems it's urgent. [She was in and out of the building pretty quickly.]

[awakenedchaos]

[Of course not. If it were him she's looking for, ν-13 probably wouldn't check this particular area first.]

Affirmative. [Other people might not agree with her, but it feels like it's been ages since she's seen Ragna in person - it's high time she tracked him down. And with his old apartment being mostly empty now, she kind of wants to know where he went, too, so...]

[chikaidestroyer]

Then I won't keep you. [He wasn't in a hurry to delve into her issues; what he knew through Yuber and her general reputation was more than enough for now.

He seems to be considering saying something more.]

I hope you find what you are looking for.

[...As long as something bad doesn't happen at the end of the search.]

[awakenedchaos]

... [He won't get a vocal response from her, but she does linger for a brief moment before finally starting to leave again.

She hopes this search ends up being successful, too. It should be, but... well, it might end up taking a while. Not to mention that it's not going to end the way she's hoping, looking at that thread with Ragna. But hey, at least she's going to find him eventually. That's... something, at least.]
