-- Everyone? Can you hear me?

This is Johan. I'm still at the Ruins of Alph, and it looks like all of the crystals are gone - at least, all the ones around here are gone. I hope everyone is okay. I seem to have gotten a... stone of some kind? ... But I guess a lot of people probably did.

[He sighs. He's getting off topic, and he doesn't know how

Ah... I heard about Faraday-san's kidnapping from Kuroba-san earlier tonight. We're in Cherrygrove now, and we should begin traveling Route 30 tomorrow... so I will keep an eye out for her and her kidnapper, just in case.

[Voice]

[overthedratini]

Kaito got you already, huh? [smiles a little at that] Thanks. I appreciate it.

[Voice]

[catbitesgirl]

Of course. I wish you and everyone else searching the best of luck.

[Voice]

[overthedratini]

I'll be sure to pass the message on.

[Naturally, Heather hasn't left the area. She came to the place with Kamina's Dai Gurren gang, but she's there for more than fighting. Looking for Kay is one reason. And looking for two other missing people is the other. She's already done a little snooping around, but the mazelike ruins are hard to navigate and more than once, she's found herself accidentally coming back out right where she went in. If only she had a friggin' MAP...]

[So when Johan makes his announcement, she happens to hear it in person, and heads up to him, looking tired.]

I'll help. No payment necessary.

[She might not know Kay as well as the others, but she's worried, too. Besides... not like it's out of her way to look for her, considering she's already looking for a couple of other people anyway...]

[Action]

[overthedratini]

-- Eh?

[He's surprised to see her, though he's seen her a few times wandering around already. He nods at her after a moment, offering a weak smile of thanks at her.]

Thanks. I know you will-- You've done a lot already.

[foolishwren]

[In the general chaos surrounding the whole area, it's sort of easy to lose track of who's around, anyway. At least the fighting's died down.]

Well, now that all those friggin' crystals are gone, everyone'll be able to do a lot more. I just hope things'll be easier now.

Actually, I wanted to ask you somethin', too. Do you know Harry and Luke, by any chance?

[Action]

[overthedratini]

Let's hope so.

Harry and Luke? [blinking, he... doesn't recognize either name.] I don't think I do. Why do you ask?

[walking_the_cat]

I knew it was them. . .

[overthedratini]

You know them?

[walking_the_cat]

I'm heard about what they do.

[overthedratini]

... I guess that's enough.

[bakaitoukid]

I think we have half the network looking for her at this point. [leaning against the walls of the ruins for a quick rest while Johan makes his post to the network. Biz is all but passed out on top of his head]

[action]

[overthedratini]

Think that's enough?

[action]

[bakaitoukid]

More than enough.

[action]

[overthedratini]

Let's hope so.

[justicereigns]

[A growly grunt. And he's still on patrol/full of rage and lacking unown to take it out on has not improved his mood.]

[overthedratini]

... How are you holding up?

[justicereigns]

Hn.

[Another noncommittal grunt be even for Smoker he looks run through the mill.]

You didn't run by a kid named Luke on your course did you?

[overthedratini]

-- Luke? No... But you're not the first one that's asked.
