It has been longer than two weeks. Two weeks, and I still remain on square one. I should have found her by now. I should have done something, even if it was only had my own hand create some destruction in the chaos that seems to be happening on here. Lesser people have created explosions. It has to be easy

I have determined that the population of this ship could not number more than fifty. In all likelihood, the person you are looking for is not here.

I'm going to assume Kadaj is in his room :>

[anomnipresence]

[Lain knocks on his door, almost seconds after he suggested they meet.

Lain supposes that appearing outside people's rooms is probably more tactful that appearing inside them...]

yup! c:

[ruinedwrath]

It's unlocked.

[He sits on his bed, staring ahead at the wall plainly. His voice is calm, and he reveals nothing. He was a bit surprised to hear her arrive so quickly, but he's eager to make an example of her doubt.]

[anomnipresence]

[She opens the door, leaning in daintily to look around his room.]

Hello.

[ruinedwrath]

[He nods, raising a delicate brow, motioning at the room.]

Come inside. What was your name?

[anomnipresence]

Lain.

[She wanders in, hands behind her back, pink hat pulled down to her eyebrows.]

And yours?

[ruinedwrath]

I am called Kadaj.

[His eyes narrow, steady over hers. Standing up, he goes and shuts the door behind her.]

What were you so amused about, Lain?

[anomnipresence]

[She turns to watch him close the door, still politely standing with her hands behind her back.]

Amused? Nothing.

[Giggles.]

I didn't mean to mock you, if I came off that way.

[ruinedwrath]

[He sneers a little at the giggling, but it's gone. He doesn't believe her for a second.]

Then what did you mean?

[anomnipresence]

Nothing.

[Shrugs. He's kinda angry, isn't he...]

What were you going to show me, Mr. Kadaj?

[ruinedwrath]

Just Kadaj.

[He steps forward, his expression becoming calmer.]

I wanted to make an example out of someone.

[anomnipresence]

Oh? Out of me?

[She blinks and stares at him. He can't be serious, can he?]

[ruinedwrath]

Why shouldn't I?

[He had no weapon, but he wouldn't need them. But he was hesitant. Not because he cared, he didn't, not at all. He didn't want to mess this up though.]

You don't take me seriously. Don't you think that should change?

[anomnipresence]

Respect is something earned.

[Despite saying sounding calm, she looks around nervously, as if someone else is watching her.]

[ruinedwrath]

Which is what I'm about to do.

[He notices this, the only interest shown in the slight tilt of his head.]

What's wrong?

[anomnipresence]

I don't think you should hurt me.
