melodiesofkupo | The Disappearance of Azusa Miura: Network Post [Voice] (Fwd Dated to the 7th)

[The morning of July 7th, everyone’s slates receive an audio message. At first, there’s only static and the sound of someone tapping the screen as if they’re trying to turn on video but are unable to. There’s a gentle sigh of frustration followed by a gasp as the owner realizes it’s on.]

Ah...! Hello? Hello? This is Azusa...that’s to say, I’m Azusa, um...I don’t know how long I have, ever since I dropped this in the water on the way over.

[The voice is a little hard to hear, but that should explain it: water damage.]

I haven’t seen anyone in a long time...I was trying to reunite a lost child with her mother, but we ended up finding her on an airship...and then her father was on a fishing boat...and I’m not sure where I am anymore. Goodness, what am I going to do?

[She taps the screen again, trying to turn on video, but there’s no luck here.]

I’m not far from the beach, but...it’s too late at night for me to be watching for ships. And...there’s really no one here, is there? What am I...

[And with one last, loud bust of static, the message ends.

Replies will come after she’s been rescued and her slate has been repaired.]

[Thanks to Monika's quick thinking, they're able to get an airship pilot headed out to the Dusty Sea. After all, who would leave someone stranded in such a strange, desolate, and dirty place?

It's only a small airship, but it's not long before they're on their way. And eventually, their pilot gives them the signal that they're five minutes out. There's no warning before the ship starts to descend, eventually crashing into the water like a seaplane. Turbulence from the trip turns into the unsteadiness of being at sea.

The pilot warns spotting anyone will be difficult, but ships do come this way sometimes, so someone being stranded out here is definitely possible...]

She was definitely on land, though, right?

[ Finn wants to ask the pilot if anything could be seen from the air, but that was an obvious answer. He couldn't see anything out here, and they haven't even left the airship, yet.

He glances out of a few windows along the way to the landing bay. ]

If we can't see her, maybe we can do something for her to see us. Some sort of... flares or something? [ Maybe he could find some sort of explosives with his Chemist job? Probably not but maybe a flashbang? At least he's thinking... ]

((ooc: Thought I should mention that I found this because I'm a stalking stalker and never got a reply in my inbox from the ooc thread. Just saying in case others didn't get the notif either. Also thank you, RNG, for bringing Finn along!))

If she doesn't know te look for 'em, a flare might jes go te waste. Plus in weather like this, who's te say she'd see it even if she was lookin.

[ Castor was musing aloud as she looked out the window. ]

No luck raisin' her back on the iMog, huh?

Could you try to be a little more specific? Like about where you are? There's a lot of coastline in the world...

[After she's been rescued, she replies!]

Mm, I'm a little embarrassed...I was in such a hurry to say something that I fumbled over all my words. I'm sorry to have worried you.

Oh. I'm glad you're safe, at least. Er, you are safe, right?

That's right! I'm so glad help arrived. After they discovered I'd been on their boat without a ticket, they left me on the shore...I suppose it's not really their fault, though.

[Still, being left in the Dusty Sea? Awful.]

I don't believe we've met before. I'm sorry to have this first impression on you, but thank you for reaching out. My name is Azusa.

It's fine. I'm Roxas. Nice to meet you.

[At least she was sweet and apologetic. He kinda liked that.]

Just try to ask people for help earlier in the future, ok?

Yes...you're right.

[She might be pouting a little because he's absolutely right.]

I'm always ending up in the middle of messes, but I never realize they're a mess until it's too late, you know?

Well... Do me a favor and next time you even think you might be in a bad situation, just call someone you trust. Okay?

I promise I'll do just that~.

[But will it come to fruition? We'll see.]

Ah, but you know, the lost child...we were able to find her mother after all, so at least one good thing happened.

That's great! I'm really glad to hear that.

[His smile reflects that he... mostly is? Being happy about things like that is something normal humans do, right?]

I'm glad your struggle wasn't for nothing. Stay safe, okay?

Azusa-san? Azusa-san! Hey, can you hear me!?

[Guess who's panicking and shaking his slate as though that's going to do anything.

Guess who's about to run off to look in a completely wrong place.

He tried.]

Uendo-san, it's alright.

[She waves at the camera! Even though it's set to voice. #JustAzusaThings, like usual. Sure, it's a few hours later, but...]

I'm safe and sound. A few people were able to track me down. I'm so sorry for worrying you.

Oh, thank goodness! You gave me quite a scare there.

[Getting lost would have been bad enough, but when you factor in monsters...]

But it sounds like you've had an eventful time, to say the least. Just where did you end up?

I never intended to worry anyone...but things got out of hand very quickly, it feels like.

[Especially considering her next answer.]

I ended up on a boat, but they weren't too happy to have an extra passenger, so they left me on the beach in a very dusty sea.

So they just left you stranded out there? Talk about harsh! And after all the trouble you went through!

...At any rate, I'm very relieved you didn't bite the dust.

[Couldn't resist.]

I tried to explain the situation, but since I was a stowaway...

[She sighs, nodding in appreciation at such a fine joke.]

Yes, I'm glad I didn't have to spend any more time out there, but I'm afraid I'm going to have dust in my hair for weeks. I feel like I'm always finding more.

Well, that sounds simply dreadful. Have you tried washing it yet?

[Hair care is serious business.]

I've washed my hair three times already, but just when I think it's clean I find another grain.

[She's not an unclean person! Really!]

I'd be fine with never heading back.

Hmm... The dust is probably just getting trapped under the wet hair like that. That's no good.

Maybe try combing it thoroughly once it's dry? There's also the option of vacuuming out the dust, but that can be tricky with long hair.

Mm...I've done all of that and more. It feels like someone dumped glitter on me. I feel like it's going to pop up where I least expect it...if not in my hair, in my bag or somewhere else.

[She sounds a little disappointed, but she's given up.]

Oof, that's unfortunate. Well, I expect it'll all eventually fall out as time goes by. [A pause.] The dust, I mean. Not your hair.

[Leaving a problem unsolved is kind of a bummer, but he's out of ideas.]

I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help.
