[When the video feed turns on, the viewer is first greeted with the image of Sarina pulling a shirt on over her head. Those who may be easily flustered don't have to worry too much though; the video only showed her mostly bare back. With a sigh, she turned around to the camera, as she plopped herself on her bed. If she was bothered by showing a

Hello, this is Franz. I'm Claire's roommate. I haven't heard from her in... nearly a week. I'm not always home, but I think it's been around that long.

[Sarina glanced over her NV screen curiously, studying the details of this stranger's appearance.]

Franz? I'm Sarina, ahaha. It's...nice to meet you, I think.

But she's really been gone that long? Aha -- I think it's been that long for me too. I hope she's okay.

[Franz is a well-dressed 16-year-old with blond hair and brown eyes who happens to give off a faint ghostly glow thanks to a mutation from the city.]

Nice to meet you too, Mademoiselle Sarina, though under such unfortunate circumstances. A friend of Claire's is a friend of mine.

[Oh, she's more than a little entranced by the glowing. She tries to avert her eyes, every now and then, but she can't. Look. Away.]

Yes, heehee -- sorry about that. But as long as you want to be friends...maybe we can get to know each other better?

[Don't mind her awkwardness with these situations.]

[mentis_reae]

I do not think it is a good idea to hold onto that gun.

[deceptive_lulz]

[She gives a side glance to the screen, but doesn't seem offended when she speaks. Just genuinely curious.]

Why not?

[voice forever]

[mentis_reae]

Think, if you will, about why that gun might have been abandoned.

[video forever]

[deceptive_lulz]

[Her brows crease as she comes up with what she figured the obvious answer was.]

Because it ran out of bullets, teehee!

[gaveherwings]

I think, in the case of weaponry, it's safer to turn it in to the police force.

[deceptive_lulz]

Why would you say that? Heheheh -- a girl has to keep herself safe, doesn't she?

[gaveherwings]

I suppose you also know the phrase "You don't know where that's been?"

[deceptive_lulz]

I came from the military, haha -- people were constantly taking abandoned weapons! It doesn't matter how it's been used as much as how it will be used, right?

... I don't know what the fuck happened to Claire.

[deceptive_lulz]

[brow raise] You and me both, heehee.

But I take that to mean that you haven't seen her either?

[whipfist]

She made a post on the network the other day and I haven't heard from her since.

... This new place opened. Called the Lux. Might be hiring.

[deceptive_lulz]

Oh, I was about to respond to that, haha -- but then it was like...it cut out completely!

I think I heard about that place. Do you know what positions they're looking for?

[meteor_heart]

Hi Sarina, it's Tifa, we met briefly during riot duty a couple days ago? I've been teaching Claire some self-defense for a while now...but she hasn't shown up for days, I was about to ask on the Network myself.

[deceptive_lulz]

Tifa...?

[Sarina tilts her head, squinting over the woman’s appearance.]

Oh, I remember you.

[She relaxes to a neutral expression, continuing.]

But you haven’t seen her either, huh? [She sighs.] No one seems to know where she is.

[Video]

[meteor_heart]

Maybe we should get together some people to go looking for her? She's pretty capable but...anything can happen in this place. [Tifa frowns, looking off camera for a moment.] It's also possible she's just gone home.

[Video]

[deceptive_lulz]

I guess we could try, haha...? But where would we even look?

[Her eyes went downcast at the second suggestion.]

Maybe. She's...she's gone home before. Heehee -- she always did say she liked it better there than here. Good for her, I guess...
