[ When she first arrived in the tower the last thing she ever thought of was being a parent. The events of the past couple weeks have taught her that it wasn't necessarily about her or some shit. At least that girl can fight with the proper training. Since everyone was back to normal, Ryougi herself included, it was only proper to find her. After visiting the "usual" spots with no luck, it was time to amp up the lazy. Lethargic as usual, this dark-haired, dark-eyed woman doesn't seem the type who would use a terminal, but here she was. ]

Has anyone seen a girl too young to be stuck in this pit? [ Yes, there's a ton of those here. Maybe she should be a bit specific. ] Plain-looking with dark hair. Not the one that looks exactly like me--[ Because she does exist. ]--but a mini version. Kinda acts like a nerd by carrying books around and reads them in places other than the library.

[ Tch. ] Whatever. If you've seen her, tell me. Don't waste my time with idle talk.

[ Definitely the coolest person to engage in conversation with, right? RIGHT!! At least she can't stab anyone from the screen. ]

[ryougi]

What, don't tell me you actually believed her spiel. [#world's best mom]

[peoplediewhenikillthem]

[ Someone has to be the responsible parent. ] What's it to you?

[ Not her fault you can't remember screwing that boy or something. ]

[ryougi]

Just kinda curious. [oh is she getting defensive this is kind of funny then.... that moment when you're the type of person who'd pick on yourself but w/e right?!]

[peoplediewhenikillthem]

[ It's like pulling the hair of a girl you like in class or something. ] Yeah, she proved it. Proved to be a better challenge than you in less than ten years.

[ Does that count as a self-burn too IDEK. ]

[ryougi]

[RUDE??? As expected of herself I guess.] Hoh, how lucky for you. Looks like you got something in your future after all.

[If the words sound bitter or envious, then her tone would show she's not in the least. Really, she's just trying to keep a mindset of I DON'T CARE IF THIS PERSON REALLY IS ME WHAT HAPPENS (WILL HAPPEN?) TO HER ISN'T THE SAME FOR ME GOSH. Because that's totally going to help her, right....]

[magiciansempress]

...You sure she's still here? People have disappeared, before.

[peoplediewhenikillthem]

That's why I'm asking. [ Seems pretty obvious to her. Can't find kid, ask others if they've seen her. ]

[magiciansempress]

Well, she may just not want to be found, too.

[Sheee remembers when her little brother pulled things like that, usually after one of their fights. But now she's thinking on this.]

[peoplediewhenikillthem]

Is that something kids do?

[ Tch. ] Annoying.

[ She's only been a parent for a couple of weeks and already sucks at it. ]

[magiciansempress]

[...Don't mind Saki giggling a bit. This is kind of adorable.]

You're pretty new to this, aren't you?

[withak]

I haven't seen her, but I'll keep an eye out. Do you know her room number?

[Katsuya is assuming she's her sister.]

[peoplediewhenikillthem]

[ Admittedly Shiki did check out every room for a name, but nothing stuck out. ]

I don't have a room number. [ What a responsible parent/sibling/etc. ]

[withak]

Or a name, I'd assume, you could figure out the room from that. Where was she last seen?

[peoplediewhenikillthem]

During the strange time stuff. Fighting.

Her name is Mana. [ Oh right, maybe the full name will help, but she hates... ] Mana Ryougi.

[hemoeroticism]

Several. ✩ But most of them are a little young, aren't they?

[ Time-wasting idle talk, go! ]

[peoplediewhenikillthem]

[ She will CUT you for wasting time. Except she doesn't seem that hostile right now so maybe there's a rare miracle at work here. ]

Yeah, what's that supposed to mean?

[hemoeroticism]

Aha~ Just that the Administrators seem to have their reasons for bringing people here, regardless of age! ✩

[ There's a point to this. Shiro, for example. At first he thought they just didn't do their homework on her and brought her here without the Mother Goose System or anything similar to keep the Wretched Egg under control, but now he sees they wanted her here without her powers in check, after seeing these experiments they perform. Actually, they have a lot in common with him. He likes them. ]

Some of these kids are the most powerful people here, after all. ✩ It's pretty fun to watch.

[peoplediewhenikillthem]

Which ones?

[ Powerful? Yeah, she's taking that as a PERSONAL CHALLENGE to whoop each and every one of their asses. Who cares if they're kids? ]

These powerful kids, that is. Who are they?

[koncubine]

[Oh, god, it's Monster. Despite her internal shrieking, Caster manages a brave face.]

You have a kid?

[Way to state the (still surprising) obvious. She doesn't think she's seen a kid like that around, but she's not totally sure.]

How old is she?

[peoplediewhenikillthem]

I dunno.

[ She doesn't recognize this one fortunately for her. ] Old enough to know better.

[koncubine]

You don't know how old she is?

[Caster looks dubious. How does a Servant, even one as scary as this one, have a kid in the first place!? But that's a question better not said out loud.]

Well, I'll keep an eye out, anyway. She might have gone home, but she might be hiding somewhere in the tower.

[With a parent like Monster, who could blame her?]

[peoplediewhenikillthem]

I don't know why she hides.

[ So clearly the only other option available is: ] How can she go home? There's nothing there.

[worldend_dominator]

She was in the library back during the epidemic, but I don't remember seeing her around after that.

[peoplediewhenikillthem]

That's it?

[ She's annoyed that she's being told the obvious but whatevs. ]

[worldend_dominator]

Unfortunately yes.
