[Hearing a crash coming from the room for the parental units was more than enough to catch Tieria's attention, and it's not long before he's creeping around the house, hoping to catch the assailant off guard. It was likely a burglar, or if he was unlucky, someone replacing the drone father. He'd honestly prefer the former.

That is, until he saw who it was.]

Setsuna...?

[Dropping any pretense of stealth, the fight drains out of him in surprise; while there's no question about this person's identity, Setsuna had definitely aged a substantial amount. The boy who had once been nothing more than a teenager now stood in front of him as a grown man.]

[He's still staring at the picture.

Try a bit harder, Tieria.]

[purging_virtue]

[What could possibly be so interesting about that picture? Annoyed, Tieria approaches him, making sure to keep out of arm's length. While they were comrades, it'd be stupid of him to startle Setsuna and accidentally prompt a defensive reaction when the other was so engrossed in something else.]

Are you listening to me? The pictures don't matter; we have more important things to discuss and you need to be debriefed on the situation.

[Turning to regard the familiar voice, Setsuna double takes at the other person's...

Size.]

...U-understood.

[A quiet deadpan voice responds]

"They won't come forward. We're not even 100% certain who it is, there are just some fairly solid clues."

[phone]

[risetoconnect]

...I see.

[Deadpanning right back at cha']

[hontobakabaka]

[sooooooo much deadpan]

"Lucy Smith seems to be the popular guess though. I take it you just woke up here?"

[risetoconnect]

...

That would be correct.

[ Nena's out of the room right now, you can hear running water int he background so who knows what she's up to.

Enjoy the haro mocking you! ]

Another kidnapped! Another kidnapped!

phone;

[risetoconnect]

...a Haro? Here?

[partytoastess]

Nena! Nena! Someone knows! Someone knows!

Who the hell are you? Who the hell are you?

[ You can hear the water shut off and footsteps come closer to the phone. ]

[risetoconnect]

...

Nena...?

[That name rings a bell to him, but where...?

Shaking his head.]

...Setsuna F. Seiei.

"When you find him, tell me to bring me back home too. Or at least give me back my games."

[risetoconnect]

...very well.

[falleng0d]

"Have you found the introductory letter in your home? It explains some things. Not enough, but enough to get you started."

[risetoconnect]

Yes, I have the letter, even though I regarded it as a joke at first place.
