Regarding hide and seek... [Video]

[There's a video feed showing a very unsettled Lina. And she obviously does not like being unsettled like this, and it's a few moments before she can speak.]

...what...what the hell was all that? What kind of sick, twisted place have I been brought to?

one where nice people drown in cupboards and cute little plush things will kill you apparently

[there's a reason she's not using voice, and that reason is because otherwise her voice would waver otherwise.

in other news, sup Lina the cyberstalking program continues]

You pretty much nailed it on the head: A sick twisted, horrible place.

_{[Mimio doesn't want to use video for now- if he's going to see someone he's going to see them face to face so he can have proof that they're okay too. The game's scarred him more than he'd like to admit, and it's obvious from the waver in his voice.]}

I ain't too sure myself. But I'd be fine if it didn't happen again.

_{[Of course, the cocky little quip is rather ruined by how bad his voice shakes at the end of it.]}

[Romeo looks grim and angry, because the bad people make him very mad!] It's what the bad people do. They leave us alone for a little while and then do horrible things because they think they are fun.

[Lina doesn't blame you, Sakaya, and will gladly switch.]

But why... There were kids in there. Who would do this to kids...?

I want to get my hands on who-ever's responsible for this. I have a number of...words...for them.

[Despite their initial...awkwardness and what came of it, Lina's not holding any hostility toward Mimio after what she just witnessed.]

...I-I wouldn't blame you.

...the bad people, huh...

Where are they?

Sadly, this is a monthly occurrence my dear. I wish that I could say it gets better but...

[For his part, he does seem to regret that he has to be the bearer of bad news, especially to someone who is in shock. And maybe, really, he attempts to soften the blow:]

We are all in this together, though. You will find support if you seek it.

You and pretty much everyone else in the tower. Trust me. Whoever's responsible is going to wish they were here instead of us once everyone's through with them.

I don't know! We can't find them! But when we do they will be sorry!

If that's so, there probably won't be anything left of them.

...w-wait, there's nothing to go on? Nothing at all?

The only support I trust isn't here, though.

[Okay, that hurts a lot to admit. Time to look away from the screen, and try to pass it off as being huffy.]

Well we know there is four of them. Or maybe more and they are really bad. And all the people with red collars and clear collars work for them and are also bad.

[Poor kid. Nina hates seeing someone so young look like that.]

We don't know yet. But we'll find out.

[It's the most reassurance or explanation she can give right now.]

_{[Mimio's learned his lesson just fine, and after that initial slip up, he isn't angry either. Just glad that another acquaintance is okay at the very least.]}

I... it wasn't a very fun game, was it?

_{[And that is probably the clearest he's spoken in ever, voice still wavery and worried. Yep, this cat's the type to latch onto people for comfort.]}

It may not look it, but-- that may just be a blessing. I do not believe our homes were ever devastated, and even so, I would rather be there than here.

[The Frenchman shrugged, tapping a finger against the tabletop.]

What is your name? You can call me Francis, oui?

[You poor thing... :|]

well let's see how about this

monsters don't care how many birthdays you've had

...I suppose you have a point there.

Anyone calling that...thing a game needs their head examined to say the least.

[There's some hostility in that sentence, though - mostly toward the people who were running this. The more she dwells on it, the more her temper's starting to kick up.]

Four ringleaders that can't be found, and a bunch of lackeys... I've dealt with worse odds.

[Lina's gaze stays away, but her shoulders sink a little as he points that out.]

...yeah, they're better off not here. [She swallows, then draws a heavy breath and sighs before forcing herself to look back at the screen.]

I'm Lina Inverse.

Yeah...

[Lina doesn't look very convinced, though. She'd make a boast about finding them herself and giving them what for, but maybe once the being rattled by what happened wears off.]

Really? Do you think you will be able to find them?

I use th' term very loosely...

_{[Mimio doesn't even register the hostility, really; he just knows that this mess ended up with him tossed off a balcony and there was no one there but that bear for him. Naturally, he's pretty upset.]}

'Course I can. I set my mind to something, and it'll get done!

Well. Not you, but the people that set it up, is what I mean.

[Geeze, what can she even do for the guy...?]

[He liked that type of attitude!] You're right, there's nothing we can't do if we try really hard!

_{[He sighs, quiet, before replying this time; apparently he's thinking before he opens his fool mouth now.]}

I didn't figure ya did. Man, what kinda crazies...

So I'm guessin' ya died too? How'd they get you?

I...didn't get dragged into it, but I saw a lot of it via these things.

Oh...

Well, yer lucky, then. 'cause that dyin' bit? Not so much fun.

[Lina's voice falls quiet.]

I would imagine not...

[Cripes, what do you say to that?]

_{[He shakes his head, and tries to grin.]}

Guess I oughta be grateful I got a second chance, right? Sorry ta be botherin' ya.

Hey, it's not a bother.
