[ The feed flickers on to N, obviously located in the park. If one is observant, they might notice a multitude of changes about the boy. Perhaps the easiest to spot is the gleaming crown on his head that makes him stand regal and tall, posture relaxed even as one hand rests on the hilt of a sword. The next is how his typical wardrobe has suddenly

[Minato walks, hands tucked into his pockets, mulling over N's video post--

When the Starly lands on his head.

...Oh

This is familiar.

[ Flick.

So tempting. It landed. At such a good height, too. He could scoop it out of the air with one paw, in a split secon-

Wait, no, he was taking care of Rachel, not stalking her!

N quickly pulls himself back up to his full height, once again the image of a stately king.

Or perhaps a cat trying to look innocent. ]

...hello, Minato.

[lunateclock]

[.....a slow nod.

...

...He reaches up and gets the Starly onto his hand instead of his head.

And then he points at the ears and tail.

...?]

[singularjustice]

Oh, these?

[ He reaches up to touch his own ears, a tiny smile appearing on his face. ]

I wanted to try them.

[ His tail whips behind him as he obviously manipulates it just for the fun of it. ]

...If it makes you feel better, Isa left me a note once when he first disappeared a long time ago. He came back with all his memories intact about a week or two later.

[Then a slightly uncomfortable pause.]

...Hey, N?

[singularjustice]

Really? Maybe there's still a chance, then...

[ N truly hopes so, though he gives Demyx his attention at the question. ]

Yes?

[ninthserenade]

Sometimes it takes a long time for people to come back, too. My best friend disappeared for about two months and then came back. Keep your chin up, 'kay?

[This is harder than he thought. Okay. Deep breath, bite the bullet--]

D'you know anything 'bout a kid in a hat and a shirt with an 'R' on it? He's... Got this big purple ghost thing with floating hands. It's super important I find him.

Sorry for the slowness. /)_(\

[singularjustice]

I will try my best.

[ Though his face darkens immediately, his tail thrashing behind him. ]

Gold? Or Silver? What color was his hair?

[chocobo_bartz]

...Locke's gone?

[Bartz feels a little sad at that news, actually, he feels a lot sad at that.]

[singularjustice]

Yes. I do not know for how long, but.

[ The cat ears on his head droop slightly. ]

It may be permanent.

[chocobo_bartz]

.....I hope he's back in his world, safe and sound.

[singularjustice]

...so do I.

You were a friend of his, I take it?

[dystopiadreams]

*Selphie's still one sick puppy, and she's sitting up in bed, clutching her own note from Locke*

Hello. I've heard about you from Locke. He and I...we were really close so...

*She sighs a little, unsure about what she's trying to say. But having access to someone who was also close to Locke...*

...well, I'm here if you need to talk.

[singularjustice]

...were you?

[ He looks at her curiously. ]

It is nice to meet you. My name is N.

[dystopiadreams]

Mmhmm.

*She nods firmly - of course she was, she was very close with Locke*

I'm Selphie. Nice to meet you too.

[singularjustice]

I am sorry.

[nos_servabit]

I'm sorry to hear that. Locke was a good man.

[He really does look sorry. He always is when someone leaves.]

[Video]

[singularjustice]

...yes, that he was. I take it you were friends with him, then?
