Just in case anyone was concerned... Futaba Sakura is, well— sleeping. I know that she's made quite a few friendships since arriving here in Vaikuntha, on top of all the information she's been archiving for all of us otherworlders, so... I don't think she would want any of you to worry if you've noticed her absence over the past few days.

It's sort of like— needing to recharge her batteries. It might last days or weeks depending on how much rest she needs, but this is just the norm. She wanted to make sure that anyone who might be anxious about disappearances knew that she was still here and not— gone, since it seems like that's happened to us again recently with some familiar faces.

If there's any message you'd like to pass a long for when she wakes up, feel free to leave it with me. If we haven't met yet, call me Ren.

Alternatively, you know... press "F" to pay respects.

Shit, that gave me a heart attack! But if she's like part bear or something, I guess that's okay?

[There may be a cute little stuffed 'F' made out of yarn pinned up against Tobs' door by the end of the day. Because he's Extra like that.]

[garyoutensei]

I'm not someone she knows, at least not well, but I'm close to Hunk. So... three degrees, I guess. Either way, she was special to Hunk, so there's an annoying part of me that I can't ignore that's telling me to watch out for her.

[masqueraid]

( ah, it seems autocorrect might be quicker on the uptake here, but on the other side of the screen, ren just chuckles to himself. )

You should know that after a mishap a few months ago I can no longer accept Kupo Nuts as payment, if you lose.

( humour in the face of a tough situation, he can appreciate that. )

Also I get the feeling I should be calling you something other than just "Leader-kun."
Unless that's your preference.

( no judgement. )

[masqueraid]

( heh. so serious, detective-kun... and here he was enjoying the wordplay! )

I don't think there's anything to be concerned about.
For real.

[masqueraid]

Call it a hunch.

( you learn a thing or two about someone by rank 9, trust him. )

I bet she was a great help.
The best Navi a team could ask for.

[pishirogane]

Check anyway.

[She's not the 'killjoy' detective for nothing.]

[masqueraid]

( it's a good thing this is over text, so that his unhinged, open wide jaw is mercifully concealed and his dignity is protected.
for the most part. )

...

It must have something to do with the technologies interacting with the world. Maybe in the same vein that Futaba's laptop didn't work to its full capacity, either.

Still pretty cool, though.

[masqueraid]

It was a tough one, huh?
I'm glad you all made it back all right.

For the most part, at least.

[balancingedge]

[If his autocorrect got a chuckle, then good. Because he likely needs it and Hunk isn't here to make jokes.]

Breakfast tacos if she doesn't tell us first, on me.

[...kun? Well, there's something no one on Earth has used in decades. His eyes light up slightly, unseen.]

I'm Keith.

[masqueraid]

Heh, hard to avoid that little voice sometime, huh?

( even harder when it comes in the form of a long-nosed man or his faithful wardens. )

Still, thanks. And... I was sorry to hear about Hunk, too.

[masqueraid]

( you can do it sora, put your back into it! )

Just an extended snooze, really.
Not quite a hibernation but definitely longer than a catnap.

( if you wanted to get technical, at least. )

[masqueraid]

( oh, you want to be extra, kanji? that's great you already fit in with the p5's magnificently.
ignoring the important part of his question, however... )

Bear, do you think?
I thought more of a platypus maybe, if I had to choose...

[masqueraid]

Ah, Kanji-kun was that your handiwork at her door?
An F Fabricated with your own Flair, it looks Fabulous.

[masqueraid]

Ah... all the rooms?
All by myself?

[masqueraid]

All right, here I go.

[masqueraid]

[masqueraid]

Hmm, it seems that after an inspection, there is one room that was quite soaked after all...

[pishirogane]

Is it another joke or are you being serious?

[masqueraid]

( why not both... )

It was the bathroom.

[pishirogane]

I figured you were going to say that.

[She sighs, shaking her head on her head.]

[masqueraid]

( keith flows better, anyway. stick with that, red-san. )

Challenge accepted, Keith.
Though if I could also work in a ride in the giant mech somehow, I wouldn't say no to that either.

[masqueraid]

It seems you saw right through my... Façade.

( no less can be expected from the detective prince. )

[keymemory]

[ Baaaah! Sora can't quite put his finger on it, but gosh.. this sure did resonate someway, somehow, with him! You know what, probably because he enjoyed catnaps himself! Yeah, that's it! ]

Does she wake up to eat? :o

[masqueraid]

( it's okay young key-bearer. you'll get there someday. probably. )

Sometimes!
I'll leave something in her room just in case.

If you were sleeping for a long time what do you think you'd like to have waiting for you when you wake up?

[balancingedge]

When we get Black flying again, maybe. [It's just a small tease, but a tease nonetheless.] And if you lose?
