"Aight! Where is she?" Barreling into the scene, Beat looked around for any signs of Shiki. Well, uh. He saw Joshua standing there. Guess he'd been waiting for him. And Tabooty was on the ground, unconscious; Beat wondered if he could give the guy a kick or two for Shiki's sake. But no Shiki. He stopped in his tracks and gave the area another glance, trying to see if he'd missed something.

"Huh? Yo, what happened to Shiki?"

Joshua turned to Beat quite calmly, not taken back by his raging entrance. He crossed his arms smugly and hmphed. "Took you long enough, Daisukenojo. She's off and poofed. No way it could have been Minamimoto's doing, because, well..." He glanced over at Sho's unconscious body, and then back up at Beat. "Yep. Do you suppose someone else might have gotten got to her first?" he suggested.

"Stop callin' me that!" Beat snapped, glaring at Joshua. "Yo, what's wrong with Beat?" Remembering the more than slightly important fact that Shiki was missing, he added, "But who woulda come and took Shiki?" "I guess someone coulda come 'fore we got here..."

A thought occured to him, and one he'd wished he hadn't gotten. "We don't got more Reapers here, do we?" Beat pointed at Minamimoto. "Tabooty's more than enough already!"

He held his arms at his sides and frowned, ignoring the memo about Beat's name as he always does. "Perhaps it was one of her other friends. Minamimoto is the only Reaper in Econtra, to my knowledge. We're right outside Building Two..." he said, glancing up at the building, "So it's possible anyone could have come to her aid. But then again, it's also possible someone else could have taken the opportunity to capitalize on her injured state."
