It seems tonight's decided to be chillier. Unfortunate, considering we have a missing child.

[ and this little video begins with that voice and a view of a picture:

... are you okay, Jade? [ Worried not!daughter is worried. ;w; ]

[Video]

[nodoubleteam]

[ give him a moment, because whenever he's asked that it just makes him pause. of course not!daughter would ask this one first, though. ]

What a strange question.

[Video]

[ordalias]

I thought it was the right thing to ask for something like this...

[ Sounds a bit sheepish, but still determined. Determined in the way she wants to help Jade, even if only a little bit. ]

[Video]

[nodoubleteam]

[ . . . . he's not sure how to handle this. ]

That is what people usually ask, yes. [ given he's not a regular person, though, that doesn't do much for him. ] I'm fine.

[Her attention was most likely drawn to this post by the picture rather than the actual content, and there's absolutely no empathy in Chidori's voice as she replies-- if anything, there's a trace of curiosity.]

... How does one "leave" this place?

[video]

[nodoubleteam]

[ ah, that quiet girl from before. jade's not phased by her intent, since he would pretty much do the same. so he'll respond, business-like: ]

Judging through previous departures, through a random disappearance. There's no prior warning, nor are there any kind of steps to initiate it.

[springoflife]

[She falls silent again, apparently giving that new piece of information a moment of thought. The conclusion is simple:]

People must be afraid of it.

[video]

[nodoubleteam]

Frustrated might be the more appropriate term. [ because that's what he is. incredibly frustrated. ]

A ... missing child ...oh...

You believe that your friend ... has left Johto?

video;

[nodoubleteam]

Indeed. Were it anyone else I would be sure, but this one has a tendency to be rather spontaneous. [ meaning he doesn't know half of the stuff that goes on through that man's head. ]

[lc_whitequeen]

Ara ara ... He is an unpredictable child? [ That is her guess from the way he describe him on the post. ]

If you call his gear ... what does it say?

video;

[nodoubleteam]

As I've said.

[ the most incredibly unpredictable thirty-something old man, lacus, but he won't say that. ]

The ID number cannot be found. It says quite a bit about our situation.

[uuing]

... Uu-?

[ Maria looks a bit curious, tilting her head as if she's thinking about something. ]

Did you lose someone..? Did he run off, uu-? Is he a bad kid?

[ video ]

[nodoubleteam]

[ . . . ah, small child. ]

An incredibly bad kid. [ the worst. ] Don't grow up to be like him.

[ video ]

[uuing]

Maria will try her best! [ even if she has no clue what exactly she has to do for that.. ]

If he's a bad kid, you should probably punish him though, uu-.

[ video ]

[nodoubleteam]

How nice to hear. [ though he doesn't really care either way, but he can pretend. the last part of what she says catches his attention, though. ] I'm afraid that's a bit difficult to do at the moment.

Missing Child? [Well, it couldn't have been the Other Mother, because she's not here... which means it could be bad. Or... left? Maybe that was what happened to Kitty? He's not familiar with concept of leaving Johto.]

Want some help looking for him? [He'll search the nooks and crannies of Goldenrod if he has to.]

[Video]

[nodoubleteam]

While I appreciate the offer, I feel an active search won't yield much results. [ he's pretty sure Peony's gone, after all. ]

[Video]

[otherpumpkin]

[Not going to search? But there's a child out there... Maybe he's going to do it himself? Perhaps they're related and it's their family's matter? He's trying to work out why.] If you ever need any help, just give me a call.~

[The Other Father gives a small sad smile. Whoever he is in relation to him, he must miss him.]

[Video]

[nodoubleteam]

[ and he doesn't even blink at that display of empathy. ]

You are?
