[ Because Saitou has to be the bearer of bad news and/or make already-bad-news even worse. (He means Elisa Maza, by the way.) ]

It's been ten days.

... I'm assuming no one's heard from her.

We need to talk.

[ The recording is mostly dead air for some time, before an audible click is heard and the screen changes to video. Saitou's looking down at the new comm in his hand somewhat inexpressive, though the faint sign of a frown shows on his face.

Then, somewhat quietly: ] Here and back again, hm.

[Filtered from the Joker, the Major, Lust, Dr. Horrible, and Audrey II]

Or... has staying in the City for a... lengthy amount of time, made any of you indifferent to ever seeing them again? [ Read: He is in ( Read more... )

[ Yep, it's Lt. Saitou Hajime all right, looking spic-and-span and normal as ever... Well. As normal as a 165-year-old samurai can pass as normal ( Read more... )

[ Sounding more aggravated than usual (and that's saying something) ]

Is it always this noisy this time of the year here.

[ Filtered from Cavil, the Joker, the Major, Lust and Angelica Einstellsehn ]

[Sounding a bit irritated]

This... thing... won't stop following me around.

( Non-IC cut to save space )

[ POLICE FILTER ]

Lieutenant Fuj-- Saitou here. Was brought back by the Porter a few days ago. Is everyone still accounted for or have others ported home while I was away.

[ FILTERED TO HIRUMA AND MELEE - VIEWABLE TO KIRYU ]

Still interested in kenjutsu?
