[ It was unusual when Mikado had noticed that he hadn't seen Celty for a while--even though she was quiet and easy to miss, he would at least see her in passing once or twice a day. He figured that she must have been kidnapped or something, and knowing that she'd eventually be returned was a bit of a relief.

Though something was off. Even though he knew it was rude, he had to check to make sure this was actually the case. It was just one peek into her room...

...Only to find her room completely empty, along with her beloved Shooter.

... ]


To anyone who knew Celty-san--

She has been sent back to Tokyo.

[ ...

What else is he even supposed to say? ]

...So she really is gone, huh.

That's what it means when her room is empty, right?

[Voice]

[mischiefbreeder]

...Yeah, it is.

I hope she's doing okay.

[ you can imagine what an unpleasant surprise this is. he'd finally gotten around to catching up on the damn thing and -- and ]

Celty has...?

[ written ]

[dragons-peak.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[ ... ]

I'm sorry, Shizuo-san.

[ voice ]

[moezuo.livejournal.com]

I got it.

[ the ex-bartender stares at the text for a few moments.

He doesn't bother shutting the journal. He just grunts something under his breath and stands. There's no Izaya to blame for this. No squirmy parasite to beat the daylights out of to make himself feel better. No Celty to vent to.

He needs to blow off some steam. Staying in this room isn't helping. ]

[Selphie was taking a break from homework by checking the journal when she spots this message left in it by Mikado and she can relate to how he's feeling right now. Hell, anyone in Luceti can relate to this feeling by now.]

Hey Mikado? You okay?

[ written ]

[dragons-peak.livejournal.com]

Yes, I'm all right. [ As selfish as it may be, he's much more worried about the fact that Masaomi might be next, though he's not going to bring that up. ]

Thank you, Selphie-san.

Was Celty a friend of yours from your home?

You're welcome Mikado. Do you need anything?

[ written ]

[dragons-peak.livejournal.com]

...In a way, I guess you could say that, yes.

I'm fine for now, thank you though.

Mikado?

[dragons-peak.livejournal.com]

Kennedy-san?

[ written ]

[simplestgift]

It has been a long time. Was she a friend?

[ written ]

[dragons-peak.livejournal.com]

Yes, it has been a while. It's nice to hear from you.

In a way... yes. She is a friend.

[falenandawn]

Celty has.....?


.....I see. [Frey, by now, has sadly gotten used to losing people. It doesn't upset him any less, but....] I'm Sorry Mikado.

[dragons-peak.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[ ... ]

It's all right. There's no need to apologize, Frey-san.

[falenandawn]

She'll be happier back in your world, at least? [he hopes so, anyway.]

[dragons-peak.livejournal.com]

I would hope so. Luceti is peaceful, but I don't know if she ever considered it 'home.'

[slatebreaker.livejournal.com]

Dear Mikado,

I am very sorry to hear of your loss; however, I am certain will see your friend again some day. There is no reason to be blue when there are so many possibilities around us, yes? I have heard that all of us eventually go home. It is then your duty to have as many adventures as possible in this strange place so that you will have the very best stories to take back to Miss Sturluson.

Would you perhaps like some company?

Anne,

...You are absolutely right. I'm sure that Celty-san would be upset if she knew I was worrying so much about her.
Though, for now I'd prefer to be alone. Thank you, Anne. I'll let you know if I change my mind.

[generalflirt]

[There is one Masaomi Kida there to bust in on Mikado, wherever he might be, and clap him on the back. He's grinning ear to ear, and ignoring that Celty's missing, despite being aware of it. This doesn't seem like a time to hit on girls, but it does seem like a time to-]

Hey man, let's go a round on Brawl!

[dragons-peak.livejournal.com]

[ ajsdlfkdsjafl He jumps! Was not expecting you at all, bro. He looks up and gives a curious/irritated look as he can give with no energy in his face. ]

N-Now?

[generalflirt]

Yeah, c'mon! It's been raining all week anyway!

[Leaning back a bit, grinning]

[dragons-peak.livejournal.com]

[ ...sigh. With the rain, it's not like they could go pick up girls even if they wanted to. So he shuts the journal and stands. This is probably the best for him. ]

Okay... [ makin' his way to the TV lalala. ]
