Hmm. Yeah, that.

[he sighs, because it was true]

...With how many of my contacts have left the Castle, and the lack of promising new blood lately, I decided to...shift my focus for a little while.

I've been working on a few solo projects, as well as a couple certain somethings for our mutual cohort. [was not about to call Joker an employer]

/retrofilter? ;)

[balancethebooks]

Oh? Have you shifted it to anything I can help with? ... Yaya and Bakura are both gone, now, and with that aforementioned cohort keeping his head low ...

... Okay, fine, I'll come right out and say it. I'm fucking bored.

HA. Oops. Sure, why not. xD

[need_to_rule_it]

[he hears you, bro]

...You haven't heard from him recently?

Might be good to NOT out your villainy, there

[balancethebooks]

I haven't, no. His name is still on a door, so he's around, but ... I know he hasn't been in the castle since he moved out into town.

And I don't know about you, but I have a feeling he wouldn't appreciate being looked for.

Someone left?

[balancethebooks]

A friend of mine, Bakura. Two ... different incarnations of him.

[ ...that takes a moment to sink in ]

[ laughs a little. awkwardly. ]

Ryou-kun's gone? That's not right...

[queendramabitch]

[okay, she's amused]

Does anyone here even have enough money to lose track of, I wonder.

[balancethebooks]

Some people might. Like the ones who run businesses of their own, in town. You never know, around here.

Sorry I haven't been in touch more often. I've been ... [meaningful pause] busy.

[queendramabitch]

Am I allowed to ask just how you've been busy?

[she can imagine well enough, but it's always nice to be certain]

If you filter the conversation, then of course you are. [draws her a little smile]
