First Eggplant ;video, ;locked from hostiles

[eggplantriding]

My sister, Gumi, has returned home...


Fisk, I know you're upset, but it won't do well to sulk at home. I'll be at your apartment as soon as I'm off work. Expect to be dragged out for drinks.

[Gakupo goes to turn to video feed off, but he seems to think of something else.]

[Locked from Haku]

Additionally, Miku Hatsune still seems to be missing and isn't answering her D-Comm. I'm not sure how much longer we'll be able to keep this from Haku. I think it's time to expand our search beyond the cities.

If she hasn't figured it out by now I'll be really REALLY surprised. She's probably the smartest Vocaloid in this world. Least I think so.

[locked from Haku]

[eggplantriding]

I'unno.. she hasn't brought it up...

Re: [locked from Haku]

[onisensei]

I dunno man but it doesn't make sense to me that she hasn't figured it out. Maybe she just doesn't want us to worry about her or something.

I just don't want her to be pissed at me for keeping my mouth shut about the whole thing. I'm a happily married man I don't plan on screwing that up!

I doubt this situation is going to screw up your entire marriage, Onizuka-san.

There may be something to what you're saying, but I think we should search a little more before finally admitting defeat.

I'm not taking any chances, in fact, I'm going to go buy some of those chocolates she likes just in case.

[faint sigh as he waves his hand dismissively]

Fine, fine. I suppose you're better at this than I am anyway...

[grenadetoagunfight]

You're not taking no for an answer are you?

[icecreaming]

I'm sorry about Gumi.

But Gaku, I'm getting tired of lying...

[Locked to Gakupo]

[eggplantriding]

What do you think?

[locked]

[eggplantriding]

[sighs]

I know. I am, too.

Let's... give it a couple more days, okay? Maybe something will turn up. If it doesn't, then I take full responsibility for telling Haku.

Re: [locked]

[icecreaming]

Can I be honest, and a bit selfish Gaku?

[locked]

[eggplantriding]

... go on.

Re: [locked]

[icecreaming]

Miku is my fiance, and... well, I kind of wish someone would have asked me how I've been holding up through all this...

[locked]

[eggplantriding]

... I'm sorry. You're right, we should have asked. I suppose... we all worry about Haku so much, the rest of us forget to ask those sorts of things.

I imagine you're not doing very well, though...

Re: [locked]

[icecreaming]

I feel like I've been in every god damned side alley in Neon Gaku... I feel lost without her...

Re: [Locked to Gakupo]

[grenadetoagunfight]

Probably not. Think you can take me though?

[Locked to Gakupo]

[eggplantriding]

You'd be surprised what a Vocaloid can dish out, Fisk. I am not above throwing you over my shoulder and hauling you there physically.

[locked]

[eggplantriding]

[sigh]

Tomorrow, early. Let's go out and look one last time. Together. If nothing turns up then we'll begin asking for help.

Even if Haku finds out, at least that way we'll have more resources.

We'll find her, Kaito. One way or another.

Re: [Locked to Gakupo]

[grenadetoagunfight]

As much as I want to see you try, I'm going to take your word for it.

...Fine.

[Locked to Gakupo]

[eggplantriding]

Good.

Re: [Locked to Gakupo]

[grenadetoagunfight]

Just make sure to take me somewhere with a good selection of the strong stuff.

[Locked to Gakupo]

[eggplantriding]

I wouldn't go for any less, Fisk.

Re: [Locked to Gakupo]

[grenadetoagunfight]

See you later then.

[Locked to Gakupo]

[eggplantriding]

Later.
