[Johannes is tucked safely into his thankfully dry lab, but there is a shadow on his face. He is operating by candlelight.]

Alice has stopped answering me, and her communicator is offline. I believe she may have gone home. Just an announcement for those of you who might have known the child.

[And, with a distinct scowl, he ends the feed.]

don't say a word horst, heart two sizes two small, what i hate people, mad necromancer, stupid children, really not missing anyone

[See that vacant stare from Raven? Because she knows already. But you're making it real. How dare you? She wants to hate you for that because she has to hate someone for that.]

[He just stares at her for a second, before flipping the PCD over and flinging it into a drawer. He doesn't bother ending the feed himself.]

[Sorry Rei... You picked the wrong day to ask Raven to be sensible. She's broken. She's trying to hold it together. She does need to be angry at someone. And Johannes would do just fine as far as she's concerned.]

Then who?

[The answer is nearly snapped.]

And since when are you Johannes' knight in shining armor anyway?

This place is no place for a little girl, Raven! Stop being selfish and taking it out on people who didn't do anything and start accepting that that's what happens here.

[It's harsh, but Rei has no patience for this. Not now. But after that, Rei's expression changes slightly, and she looks positively melancholy.]

You haven't been here long enough to get it.

[Video] feel_nevermore August 12 2011, 18:35:38 UTC

This. is. NOT. happening. [Harsh. Not looking at Rei, now. Her fists balled.]

Oh, right. But you have, huh? Of course. [Her voice is bitter and the anger is rising as she turns a very dark look to the senshi.] Why is it that you always think you know better than everyone? You know nothing. Nothing.

...People thought you were gone too. [But Usagi kept looking for you. And Raven didn't call her selfish or ridiculous. She helped.]

Johannes and Horst would never let Alice go to the Wastelands. You know that. If you want help looking regardless, then I'll help. But yelling at Johannes won't make her come back.

[She ignores the comments against her, though they do hurt. She isn't going to explain why, exactly, she knows precisely how she feels. And how crushed she was when the first loss happened. And how crushed she will be when Toushirou is taken, or Castiel, or Ulquiorra, or even Raven herself. But a year in Adstringendum makes you all the harder and jaded for it. And Rei isn't going to bare her soul to someone who isn't thinking clearly.]

[Video] feel_nevermore August 12 2011, 20:38:01 UTC

[No, Rei's right. Raven's not thinking clearly. She's not quite being herself. Trying to keep control and not let the pain break her. She can't allow the demon to take over. She remains quiet for the longuest time.]

...I know. [Of course, she knows. And Alice wouldn't go out on her own. She's being unreasonable. But it's the first time, it hurts and she doesn't know how to deal with it.]

I'm already having back-up. ...Thanks.

[Video] marsfireignite August 12 2011, 22:21:15 UTC

It's fine.

...the angels can search faster.

[She'll ask Gabriel to lend his wings.]

[Video//Private//Unhackable] kill_joo_ded August 13 2011, 00:32:03 UTC

Leave those guys out of it. I've got this.

[He's tense but determined, and it's fairly clear he doesn't want anyone else helping for reasons very different from Raven's.]

[Video//Private//Unhackable] marsfireignite August 13 2011, 04:50:33 UTC

... alright. If you say so.

[Video//Private//Unhackable] kill_joo_ded August 13 2011, 05:04:16 UTC

[He's projecting. A lot actually. And so he's surprised when Hino agrees so easily. Not that he doesn't appreciate it.]

I do.

...Uh. Thanks.

[Video//Private//Unhackable] marsfireignite August 13 2011, 05:09:45 UTC

[Rei shrugs a shoulder.]

I get it.

[It's said a little tonelessly, but she does. She searched for days when Cloud left for the first time.]

Don't go into the Wastelands alone. Stay together.

Getting trapped yourselves won't help.

[Video//Private//Unhackable] kill_joo_ded August 13 2011, 05:38:01 UTC

When I say I've got it, I mean I've got it!

I know what I'm doing.

[After all, he's done it before.]

[Video//Private//Unhackable] marsfireignite August 13 2011, 05:47:29 UTC

Yeah, yeah.

It's my job.

[Video//Private//Unhackable] kill_joo_ded August 13 2011, 06:04:56 UTC

You need a new job. Nobody's gonna thank you for this one.

[And with that, he's gone.]

[Video] feel_nevermore August 13 2011, 18:22:09 UTC

[Rei's words make Raven think about Lucifer. If Alice is back to her home world, at least it means he won't be able to use Alice anymore...]

Hinata says her chakra's gone.

[It's hardly necessary to have everyone look for Alice if she's gone. But for Raven, it's different, maybe it's the way she's mourning her departure. A very chaotic and irrational way. Lashing out on people and storming out to the only place where she'll truly be alone.]
