You know, in this case, the whole 'no news is good news' thing doesn't cut it. When the hell are the people in charge here planning to bother telling the relatives of the missing kids anything, it's been days and no news at all, just empty bunks.

Hope Toshiro is okay...Damn, and now this...no, I can't put this off anymore...

[Note to Koizumi: Passed

Comments

[A note passed back to Otani: during dinner]

[A few inkblots]

Okay, I'll meet you there.

Action

[not_kotani]

[After reading the note and tucking it into his pocket, Otani quickly finished his food and left the mess hall, heading straight for the lake. Yes it was a good few hours early but he wasn't going to risk losing his nerve by sitting in his cabin, too freaked out to do anything else.]

Action

[After a few nerve-wrecking days, waiting for Otani to reply, the time has finally come. She left her cabin and headed to the meeting place.]

Action

[not_kotani]

[She'd find him easily, he was sitting on the small wooden dock, staring at the water in silence, trying to rehearse what to say in his head.]

[dragonbymyside]

I think they're still hoping to find them.

[not_kotani]

Would anyone be able to manage out there in the woods for this long though?

[dragonbymyside]

We had survival training, so maybe? And those who are 17 can do magic.

[donttelldaddy]

They haven't told the families anything? That's a good way to start a lawsuit.

[not_kotani]

Not from what I can tell. My bunkmate has vanished and yet he's still getting mail from home. I don't think his gran would keep writing to him if she knew.

[donttelldaddy]

I'm sure the people in charge here aren't that stupid. That's very peculiar...

[not_kotani]

No kidding, I'd hope not but it's hard to say when they're not telling us much.

[aamunsarastus]

Has something happened to, Toshiro?

[not_kotani]

He's gone missing too. He didn't come back to the tents on the camping trip, and since we share a bunk in the cabin, I know he hasn't come back since.

[aamunsarastus]

Oh. [Bad bunk-mate is bad.]

I..didn't notice.

[not_kotani]

Well...ack, not like it matters. What counts now is hoping they find him and the other people who disappeared. Letters from his gran are piling up on his bed.
