[The feed comes on to show an extremely tired looking Jackie. There are bags under her eyes, and she looks like she's struggling to stay awake. Someone didn't experience any bad dreams because she was awake all night looking for Kirika.]

This is probably pointless to ask, but none of the missing people have returned have they?

She would have come

Jackie...

[loyal_inferno]

I'm guessing you haven't seen Kirika, have you Lelouch? Short brown hair, kind of quiet...I have to find her.

[wishsrequiem]

Disappearances have been happening. Though I would first suggest that you sleep.

[loyal_inferno]

I...can't I don't want to sleep until she's back. I was out looking all night but-What if she's hurt? Or if they send all of the people who have disappeared, home?

That would be a good thing...I guess...right? [She sighs.]

[wishsrequiem]

I understand, Jackie. However what good can you do half awake?

icon fail above =_= orz

[loyal_inferno]

More than I can do asleep. [It comes off as a snap, and she takes a breath to calm down.]

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to snap at you, I'm just tired of losing people. [She's silent for a moment.]

Do you have any friends that have disappeared?

it's toteski fine

[wishsrequiem]

No... Then again I find that there are fewer here I knew than previously.

...LJ ate my comment so if you get this twice, sorry : /

[loyal_inferno]

I know what you mean. Kirika is one of only a few friends I have left here. If she disappears-[She lapses into another silence.]

It's hard to sleep when I think she might disappear forever.

that's fine. it's been doing that 8/

[wishsrequiem]

I understand the sentiment, truly I do. Yet it doesn't mean that you must sacrifice your own well being in the process.

[ look who is talking here... ]

Oh LJ. Why so lame.

[loyal_inferno]

I can't just lie around and wait for things to happen...even if searching doesn't do me any good, at least I can try to be of some use.

Frank hates us

[wishsrequiem]

Until you are so tired you cannot stand.

GDIT Frank. Stop nibbling on the wires.

[loyal_inferno]

[She's quiet at that. Jackie knows he's right.]

I don't know what else to do.

[wishsrequiem]

I wish I knew what to say, but I do not.

[loyal_inferno]

[She smiles slightly at that.]

At least you're honest. [Pause.]

I'll take a nap. No more than four hours. If something does happen, you're right that I won't do any good if I'm falling over from exhaustion.

[wishsrequiem]

[ ha. honest. yeah right. ]

I appreciate that you are willing to listen.

[loyal_inferno]

It'd be pretty stupid of me not to listen to one of the few friends I have left.

Thanks, Lelouch.
