[Since that battle dome malfunction, ν-13 hasn't really been doing much. Sure, there's her daily routine - even if that mostly just involves taking care of the pets and going out to train a little - but aside from that, she's mostly kept to herself, as she often does. All in all, things have been slow for her; with how things have been going lately, her usual curiosity (as well as her normal cheeriness around certain individuals) has pretty much been buried underneath an extra layer of apathy, on top of the one that already existed as a result of her programming.
This does not mean, however, that she isn't surprised when this morning, the apartment is suddenly a little emptier than usual, not to mention the distinct lack of a certain demon
How... strange. Sure, he wasn't always around when she woke up, but the lack of certain objects in the apartment throws her off a little. That never happened - and why would it? There's no reason to drag any of that around while outside. It's illogical and a waste of energy.
Could that mean...?
...
No. Not possible. There's no way that could have happened. That's a possibility she refuses to accept.
But then what happened? ...Maybe he finally decided to move out again. He never really did like this place, did he? It wouldn't be odd for him to decide to leave eventually... although she'd like to think he'd tell her, if that were the case. But that's the only possible explanation, isn't it? Or at least, it's the only one she's willing to accept... and the fact that, after looking around a little, she manages to locate two objects left behind: that book about runes and...
...the figurine she'd made for him for Christmas? Why would he end up leaving that behind, of all things? From what little she was able to tell, he seemed to like it, so... why didn't he take it with him? Odd.
Maybe he lost it. In that case, she could bring it to him, right? That ought to be a nice surprise... and it's one way to pass time aside from simply heading off to the battle dome again. Although she's not sure where to go to do that. It's not as if he left any kind of memo - or really, anything - as to where he went. It's honestly a little strange.
...She should stop thinking about this. If there's nothing that'll let the silver-haired Murakumo determine where he went, then she'll just have to search all of Luceti, right? It'll take a while, but it seems like a better idea than sending him a message through the journals. That'd ruin the surprise, right?
There's just a few preparations she needs to take care of first.]

Um... Tsubaki? Can I talk to you? [She sort of needs a little bit of help with this. She can't exactly be in two places at once, after all.]
[Later, when all of that's sorted out, ν-13 can be found in the village for a while - clad in her
normal attire and carrying a black sling bag with her, she'll slowly make her way over to the grocery- and item shop by way of hovering, where she'll pick up a few things. Nothing too noteworthy; merely a small supply of food intended to last for a decent amount of time spent traveling, and a simple, small tent in case the weather worsens at some point during her search.
When that's done with, she'll head off toward the northern edge of the village, intending to head for the mountains as the first stop of her search.
...This is going to take a while.
Feel free to encounter the Murakumo at any point, be it while she's still in the village or while on her way to the mountains. Just please make sure to note the location in your tag!]
