[have a somewhat flat and very businesslike tone] I want to learn how to communicate with Sentience directly. If anyone has any information, it would be appreciated.

[Ashton was awake, still, unable to sleep with any regularity. If it wasn't feeling like he had a fever, it was the day's events catching up with his mind, keeping him from rest. He tried to pass out on the couch to no avail.]

[He put on his headset, briefly thinking of making a public announcement... but then he remembered last time, and also the hour of the day, so he made some private calls instead.]

[Since Matoi arrived, she's had one goal in mind.

She has to find Xellos. He told her to find him. But she can't. It doesn't help that it's all gone -- all of her bugs are gone and she needs to ask Sentience for more. This. This.

She can't fail like this.

Anyone who is up far too late for their own good is likely to find a completely panic-stricken Matoi running around. She's muttering to herself and nearly tripping over her kimono. They would also be treated to panic-spam, but earlier Matoi tripped and smashed her headset on the ground. So that's not even an option.]

[Having more people around the house meant that more food was needed earlier than expected. Had Yuuki's appetite grown while she was gone? It sure seemed that way.

He had been prepared to leave Akatsuki at the house so he could make the trip faster, especially give that it's very late and Aidou had only realized they didn't have everything he needed to cook breakfast in the morning. But his kitten had been clinging, and it still being so as he hooks his tiny claws into Aidou's shirt and drapes himself over his shoulder in a lazy fashion.

Aidou's not in the best of moods, giving that he's been hiding out like a recluse the last two days. The only conversations he'd had have been with his housemates and the few people he's spoken to over the Network.

That conversation with Lenalee had not gone well. But since he's finally received his gift for her, he hopes he can sneak and leave it outside her room the next day.]

{OOC: Sulky Aidou, but feel free to come bother him! He'll probably appreciate the distraction.}

[Akito hadn't meant to fall asleep, really. He'd just been resting a little against a tree, watching his kite dip a little lower as it got later. But eye had closed, just to rest for a moment in theory. But he'd fallen into sleep instead and now was a little late getting back. Tired Akito was tired. It had been a long day]

[Kaito had been giving Akito enough freedom to go where he pleased. But when he was out past curfew without letting him know, after getting stabbed? That's where they had problems. So he'd left the apartment to search, eventually finding his brother at the park. A glare was present, but it didn't follow through to the calm tone when he spoke]

Get up, brat.

( He stirred at the familiar voice, wincing as his hand cramped from holding onto the string of the kite for so long. )

((ooc: backdated to earlier in the evening~ because Fort likes to ruin Kaito's reputation feel free to run into them anywhere between the park and their apartment♥))

[Being up late is pretty usual for Ichigo. All those late night Hollow hunts... Now there's not really a reason for him to complain about being up late and having school in the morning. Hell, there's not even homework for him to get done or Rukia in his closet to deal with.

It's driving him nuts.

He has things he needs to get done, dammit. How can he just sit here and let the cruddy computer get away with it? That's his body still over there and he doesn't even want to think about what a different version of himself would let Kon get away with... Just. Gross.

But he's not a thinker, at least not a deep thinker anyway. Ichigo doesn't even have Zangestu to talk to or swing around in frustration. No outlet for his frustrations.... And sitting here at the beach isn't helping either.]
