[Domon] Where is everybody?!

[mariko_azrael]

(OOC- One last mod note: for Yuuri-tachi, it's only been a year since they've been away from Tatsuya. Sorry for not explaining that earlier!)One thing they never tell you (and still won't!) at the Time Bureau is that time traveling is hard. As in you're lucky if you don't pass out from the experience

I'm leaning on a wall, sitting in a puddle.

Why am I sitting in a puddle? I stand up, then clutch my head, groaning... now I remember. Time travel. Never easy, and it seems we've been separated. I can't see Domon-san, Yuuri-san or Ayase-san anywhere.

I'm next to a small cart of some kind, that's been boarded up. There are other things like it around, and some buildings that are closed, too, and oh... I grin. There's a big rollercoaster up the far end of the little alleyway I'm in.

"Hello? Um, anybody?"

"Domon-san?" I call. I can't make out where he is, but I think it's him.

[mariko_azrael]

"Domon-san?"

"Sion?!" Oh thank you thank you thank you... I run to a more open area, looking around, but I still can't find him anymore.

I really hope he's in earshot. "Um, Sion? Where are you, anyways?"

[megthelegend]

I scratch my head, and do a slow circle. He has to be close by but I can't see him anywhere. "I'm in a little alleyway, Domon-san? Near the rollercoaster?" I look up at the sun. "I'm north by north-east of the rollercoaster, if that helps."

It'll be good to see him. It's kind of cold here and I'm getting so worried about Tatsuya-san.

[mariko_azrael]

"Uh, right, north then north-east." I'm probably shouting more than absolutely necessary, but right now Sion's voice is all I have to go on. "I'll find you soon, promise!"

Oh, there's the roller coaster-- at least, I hope it is. I peek around for anything vaguely green.

[megthelegend]

I head up towards the rollercoaster, as Domon's voice seems to be coming from vaguely that direction. The buildings are so close together here I can't peek in between them to try to see him.

The ground's muddy, and I nearly lose a shoe in a puddle. I have to go back for it, hopping, and then put it on while I lean on a big pretend barrel.

I see something at the far end of the alleyway. "Domon-san?" I call hopefully.

[mariko_azrael]

I hear my name again. I turn around sharply, and Sion's here. He's soaked, but he's here, with me.

It's probably a good thing that we're separated from the others right now, since I don't want to explain why I felt the need to grab Sion in a hug to, say, Ayase. "Oh, good, you're all right." I'm damp now, but I don't care.

Carefully, I pull away. Now that I have Sion again I can focus on finding the others, on getting Tatsuya back. "I don't suppose you have any idea where the others landed? Because you're the first living thing I've seen since I got back."

[megthelegend]

The thing at the end of the alleyway turns -- it's hard to tell because the light's so bad up there, but yes, that thing is Domon-san! He runs up and hugs me, making me squelch against him. I sigh into his shoulder, hugging him back. "Oh, good, you're all right."

"I'm glad you're all right, too, Domon-san," I say cheerfully. "I don't know about the others either. I assume they're somewhere nearby? Have you been here before? Are we anywhere near Tomorrow Research?"

It's so strange to be back in this century again. I admit I missed it. It was good to be in our own time with Domon-san... but it was nice, being here. Just the five of us, and Takku, and Robota.

[mariko_azrael]

I feel my heart sink a little when Sion tells me he hasn't seen anyone, either. Anything could've happened to them-- hell, whatever happened to Tatsuya could've happened to them.

But... I found Sion. I'll be fine for now.

"No clue, sorry. I think our best bet for now is to look around," I say, taking his wrist. "If we can't find the others, maybe we can find some way to contact them?"

[megthelegend]

"Okay," I say cheerfully. "I guess the first thing is to check the rest of the amusement park? See if they landed near here too?"

Oh, he's taken my wrist. It's nice.

I'm so glad we found each other.

"Hey, Domon-san? What do you think happened to Tatsuya-san?"

[mariko_azrael]

I'm not really sure if we'll find anyone, but looking beats just standing around, right? And maybe we'll get lucky...

"Hey, Domon-san? What do you think happened to Tatsuya-san?"

Oh geez, I have no idea what to say to that. All the Bureau told us was some vague crap about how he literally just vanished, and how we needed to find him-- and that was about it. But Sion need some sort of answer.

"I don't know." I'm only vaguely aware of my hand slipping from his wrist to his palm. "But I do know that we'll find him-- soon."

[megthelegend]

I gulp, and squeeze his hand tightly. "I hope so. I don't want him hurt." I'm silent for a moment as we walk along, thinking about how much I miss Tatsuya-san.

"It was strange being back in our time, knowing he was d- dead already. I guess I'm glad we have a chance to stop anything bad happening to him now. Since it's to repair the timeline."

[mariko_azrael]

I nod quickly, trying to smile as I lead us around some trash cans. Knowing Tatsuya (and Honami...) were dead brought up a lot of things I don't want to think about right now... but I don't want Sion to start worrying, either.

"Well, we're here now," I say as I try to avoid stepping in some mud. "we can try to keep Tatsuya from dying as long as possible now, right?"

[megthelegend]

I stride after Domon, not really paying attention to the ground, until I realise I've just splashed mud all over his pants.

Whoops.

"Sorry, Domon-san!" I yelp, and try to brush the mud off, but I'm only making it worse, spreading the stain all down one side of his leg. I give him a helpless, apologetic smile.

[mariko_azrael]

I grimace, just barely able to hold back a 'Oh, crap, my pants!' as Sion tries to clean me off. And once again, I am very happy Ayase isn't here, because I don't want to explain why Sion's running his hands up and down my thigh.

I let myself groan. It's going to be a long night.

[megthelegend]

"Domon-san?" I say tentatively, giving up. "You didn't bring any other pants with you, did you?"

I have some equipment with me, including specialized acids, but I don't think I should try to use them to eat the stain for him. They might eat his pants, too, and then he'd be pantsless. And while that could be quite amusing, I don't think Domon-san would find it as amusing as I would.

I hope we see someone else soon. I could use a distraction.

[mariko_azrael]

(OOC- Edited for spelling, sorry.)

"No, of course I didn't bring any other pants with me! That's not something the Bureau packs in time traveling supplies, Sion!" Although maybe they should...

I try to calm down, and pat Sion on the shoulder. "Don't worry about it. Let's just try to find someone or something that can help us, okay?" Or barring any of that, an exit, this place is getting creepier by the minute...
