Is everyone back safe and sound? Velvet-chan? Lucas? ...Horohoro? And Luke, I hope you found your professor. At any rate, it looks like this town is going to be a little hectic for a while... If it ever wasn't to begin with. If I saw ya' in Westport, give me a ring to tell me you're not missing or anything.

I'm fine, Mr. Ryo. I stayed around the streets yesterday to help anyone who needed it -- I'm sorry I lost track of you and Horohoro and Miss Velvet. Are you alright?

[mokkori_love]

I'm a little tuckered out, but overall I'm doing fantastic! Real food never tasted so good.

[a_gentle_boy]

That's great. I have to thank you again for all your help in Westport, Mr. Ryo. I was all out of food before I met you.

[mokori_love]

Ha, it was nothing! I had plenty to go around! Besides, it was a fair trade, seeing as how you fixed my arm.

[Er, Lucas would be a little upset if he saw what that tard got himself into soon afterward. orz]

[a_gentle_boy]

Not at all. My healing regenerates all the time but there wasn't any food there at all.

[Ahaha do you mind if Lucas stumbles across him in the park then?]

[mokoriluv]

I guess that's true! Even so, everybody chipped in and really lessened the burdens there.

[LOL! Go ahead, mummy man needs Lucas' company.]

[a_gentle_boy]

Everyone was really brave . . . I'm just glad we were able to help each other out.

I'm sorry I can't talk too long -- There's someone I need to go see. Maybe I'll call you again later, Mr. Ryo?

[mokkori_love]

Yeah, we'll talk again soon!

[a_gentle_boy]

[TWENTY MINUTES LATER]

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Mr. Ryo?!

[mokkoriluv]

[Is squinting very carefully at the blot of colors freaking out to his left. Big stupid grin, GO!]

Oh, Lucas! What're you doing out here?

[a_gentle_boy]

. . . T-That's not important! What happened to you?!

[mokkori_love]

[Ryo lifts up one mummy'd hand]

Oh, this? Well, you know how it is. I'm always getting into trouble!

[He coughs into his hand.]

[a_gentle_boy]

. . . . . Mr. Ryo! What happened after I left the three of you that day? Did you run into the hazmat men again? Were Horohoro and Miss Velvet alright?

[mokori_love]

Ah--I went to city hall and got jumped by a dozen-plus hazmat guys. But it was the thirty that attacked a little afterward that really almost did me in. Not to mention, the milkman...

[He beams happily.]

But Horohoro and Velvet are here, safe and sound! If you could scout out Velvet-chan and make sure she's all right, I'd be grateful! She had been hurt on the torso.

[a_gentle_boy]

. . . W-Why would you do something like that? The milkman . . . So there was one there. That must've been how Miss Margot . . .

It's a good thing you weren't killed, Mr. Ryo. Did you want me to fix you up a little first?

[mokkori_love]

[Ryo gave a thumbs up.]

Mainly the giant hole in my torso, if you could. The shoulder's pretty messed up, but I think I can handle that.
