[ And once again, Masaomi was gone.

Mikado couldn't help but think this was all his own fault. He shouldn't have said anything when he asked, and just continued to play it like there was nothing different. Then again, he had no idea that Masaomi would have responded like that, and maybe he shouldn't be so hard on himself. Either way though, he knew that he was the one that could have prevented this and began to shoulder all the blame on himself.

There was no sign of him in his daily routine. His room was empty, his desk was empty, and his walk from place to place now was by himself. Sometimes he'd turn around, expecting a familiar face, but only to see no one. The realization hit him as he recognized this situation as all too familiar, and for the third time in his life, his best friend was vanished.

...And what terrible timing, too. ]

[ Mikado usually isn't one to use the voice function, but this time he figures it's the easiest way to get a lot of people's attention. ]

Um...

I'm sure most of you have heard of someone named "Kida Masaomi." He's... well, he's blond, has piercings, is loud and obnoxious, and he likes to pick up girls, and he's my... ...I'm sorry, I'm getting sidetracked.

His birthday is a week from now, and I think it would be nice to throw a party for him. So for those of you who are his friends, if you wouldn't mind helping me organize something I would really appreciate it. I... want this to be special. For him.

--Oh, and please don't tell him. I'd like it to be a surprise.

...Thank you.

[ And he'll conveniently leave out the detail that he himself isn't planning on going. ]

Is it okay for someone to be there in spirit?

[Voice]

[dragons-peak.livejournal.com]

Oh... You can't come, Selphie-san?

[Voice]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

I can't, sorry.

[mischiefbreeder]

...His birthday, huh?

[Filtered]

[dragons-peak.livejournal.com]

Yeah, next Sunday.

[Filtered]

[mischiefbreeder]

So the 19th... That puts him about a month before me...

[Voice]

[wantsfriedbread.livejournal.com]

I would help you, but I'm afraid I don't know him very well.

[Voice]

[dragons-peak.livejournal.com]

That's okay, Tyria-san. I'm sure he'd like it anyway. But... it's up to you.

[Voice]

[wantsfriedbread.livejournal.com]

Then ... I think I will. There is little else for me to do here. [... She's not sure about actually being there, since she only met him once, but helping out with it all, she wouldn't mind doing.]

[mamiries.livejournal.com]

I'm acquainted with him, though not very well I'm afraid.

I do believe I owe him a bit for helping me when I first arrived though... so I'd like to help if possible.

voice;

[dragons-peak.livejournal.com]

Oh! I'm sure he'd really appreciate that.

Thank you, um...?

[mamiries.livejournal.com]

Mami Tomoe.

You must be a very close friend of his. This is a very considerate idea. He's fortunate to have you.

[seiriald]

.... Masaomi's birthday really is soon?

[dragons-peak.livejournal.com]

Yes, next Sunday.

[seiriald]

What sort of thing do you have in mind? [Maybe she can help out a little, assuming she can fully walk around by then.]

[ voice ]

[slatebreaker.livejournal.com]

[ the soft sound of an enthusiastic clap. ]

A party is a perfect idea, Mikado.

[ voice ]

[dragons-peak.livejournal.com]

You think so? [ A chuckle ]

Do you want to help out, Anne?

[ voice ]

[slatebreaker.livejournal.com]

I would be honoured to help out. How old will he be turning?

[voice] oh good, I'm not as late to this as I thought.

[fyulong]

[He's a little wary of doing this, but... he has to ask, and he can't ask the people involved directly, so.]

Hey... Mikado? Can I ask you something?

[voice] no you're incredibly late and not forgiven

[dragons-peak.livejournal.com]

Ah... yes?

[voice] /threaddrops then |D

[fyulong]

You and Masaomi are really close, right?

[ voice ] /late

[endgames]

Huh. Parties aren't really my thing... but I could talk to Chouji about making some food for it, if you want. I know he'd be down for it.

[ voice ]

[dragons-peak.livejournal.com]

Oh, you'd do that for me? Thank you, that would be a lot of help.

[ voice ]

[markofthebrave]

[...hmm.]

What do you need help with, Mikado?

[ voice ]

[dragons-peak.livejournal.com]

Hmm... I have people making food, someone's making a cake, and someone's doing decorations...

--Oh, right. Do you think you could get in contact with him?
