[anyone who's stopped by at the library right now will be greeted with the sight of a small-statured teenage boy sitting in front of the computer, with his arms folded over his chest, a grouchy expression on his face, and several cables extending from the back of his neck and reaching into the computer's USB ports. he speaks aloud, voice monotone

[ Luka, too, is hooked up to the computer in her room, text flowing as words would ]

I'm afraid that Meiko isn't currently here at the mome

[soundcirculates]

Len? Oh, goodness. Rin's going to be so happy to see you!

[dragalongtwin]

She's not? Then where is she?

-- And where's Rin?

[soundcirculates]

I'd assume that she's back at home, where you just came from. And Rin, I believe, is in her room. Either that, or she's off causing trouble somewhere.

[dragalongtwin]

So Meiko's the only one left behind? Somehow, it kind of figures, but...

[soundcirculates]

Indeed. I'm surprised that Kaito managed to find his way here before she did.

[dragalongtwin]

It's kind of incredible he didn't manage to get lost in the process, one way or another.

[soundcirculates]

It's a mystery, yes. Well, I suppose I should come see you, shouldn't I? It has been a while.

[dragalongtwin]

Yeah, this has kind of been the longest hour of my life.

[soundcirculates]

An hour? Well, I've been here for some number of weeks, so it's slightly different for me.

[dragalongtwin]

You too, huh?

[soundcirculates]

Me too? As well as the others, yes.

[dragalongtwin]

Man, seriously? This sucks! I'm the second-to-last one here!

[soundcirculates]

Aha, yes, Miku did just recently arrive... but at least you've beaten the UTAUs.

(Not that there's ever any competition, really.)

[dragalongtwin]

Is that supposed to be reassuring?

[soundcirculates]

I suppose that's not particularly reassuring, is it? No matter, I'll be at the library within a few minutes.
