[Despite Jan’s best efforts to look calm, it’s obvious that she’s been crying. Her eyes are red and she’s paler than normal, her hair not quite as neat as usual when she’s speaking over the network.]If you heard Sieg’s broadcast, you know that Conan and Ran have been sent home. This has been verified. The items that they left with their friends

[[Theta has been crying. Theta will be really angry if anyone catches on to that fact. It's not really as selfless as it looks, anyway--she's angry with herself for not figuring out Conan's secret before he left, and now she'll never figure it out. And also she's lost her main source of information--she'll have to start chasing things up herself now.]]

He's really gone, then...

[sf_girl_friday]

[Jan takes a deep breath, switching into her professional persona.]

Yes, he is Theta. He gave me something from his world and it was gone this morning.

[ergaleomancer]

I...I see. Thank you.

[[She doesn't mean to be abrupt, but she cuts the feed quickly. She really can't handle this. Conan had been a fixture of Ruby City since she arrived, and his vanishing made her feel strange about it. Would she one day be the longest kidnapped resident here?]]

They're gone..? Really gone?

[If Aqua had the strength to cry anymore, she would. But right now- no. Not with Vanitas in the city now.

This calls for ice cream.]

Want some company?

[Wiping her eyes, Jan lets out a tired sigh. She shouldn't be surprised that the watch had stayed on.]

They're really gone. The items they left with me disappeared too.

I'd love some company, Aqua. Thank you.

[asapphireheart]

I'll be by in a little bit then.

[And within ten minutes, she's heading inside. With ice cream. Because ice cream always makes this situations easier to bear. And she should know, she does this every time Terra and Ven leave the city.]

[Jan freezes when she hears someone at the door, even though she invited someone to visit. Shaking off her paranoia, she stands and heads out of the living room so she can meet Aqua.] Hi - I - Thank you.

[Goro sniffles.]

They.. Wait, you said they made it home safely? Well that's good, but.. [But of course, people would still miss them. Goro thinks for a minute and then flails when Jan starts to cry.]

Ah, h- hey! Oh.. [He won't tell her not to cry, obviously. She needs hugs.] Would you like a hug..?

[Video]

[sf_girl_friday]

[ACK! She hadn't realized that the watch is on! She flails for a moment, swiping at her cheeks before picking it up.] I'm okay, Goro.

[Or, more correctly she will be eventually.]

The items they gave me disappeared too so they were sent home.

Re: [Video]

[frillsalwayswin]

[Goro gives her a concerned look.] ...Are you sure you're okay?

[He nods] Mhm.. I'm glad they made it there safely, but.. It's still really sad.

[sf_girl_friday]

Maybe not right now, but I will be. It's just...I should be used to this by now.

[brotherxcomplex]

You lost someone...?

[ She doesn't know what to do, but she wanted to help her... somehow. ]

Do you need someone?

[Video]

[sf_girl_friday]

Two of my friends were sent home. Thank you for the offer, but I wouldn't want to be a bother.

[Video]

[brotherxcomplex]

... I heard of that happening.

[ She shook her head, smiling forcefully. ]

It's okay, I wouldn't mind.

[sf_girl_friday]

[The smile makes her pause.] Perhaps we should be introduced first. My name is Janice Rand.
