Who: Everyone's Invited, Toru has a good excuse not to attend.
What: It was going to be a picnic but then SOMEONE went missing and it turned all SERIOUS
Where: The skypark
When: Saturday, after school
Why: OH GOD WHERE IS TORU

Maeko helped Misaki carry the food they'd brought up to the skypark. The artificial plastic cherry trees were in bloom, as they always were. A few picnic tables were dotted around. Maeko pointed at one and they started setting up. Maeko took out her phone, sending massages to everyone they'd invited and adding the word 'URGENT!' to the end. This had started out as an elaborate prank on Kou but now they did actually need to meet. They had something to discuss.

She looked around, looking to see if anyone was here already in the rest of the park.

	Later than expected, Kouchisei arrived at the skypark. He'd not come since he was little. The layout had changed. It was updated and modern, with an ice-cream stall to his right. He was standing at the entrance, gazing in surprise. And he was lost. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Misaki noticed Kou and held up her hand, "Oubai-san! We're over here!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh, finally someone else comes." Kanaye smiles in hidden annoyance that it had to be someone with a Y chromosome. "Welcome, Oubai-kun! We're busy discussing someone else going missing, so don't worry, it's not just you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Kiriko was also late to the scene, but apparently not lost. She looked more annoyed than anything - not unusual for the girl, but today she looked it moreso than normal.

"Akuba-san," she demanded as she approached, "Next time you should leave your phone on after sending out an 'urgent' text. I wasn't going to come, but you said it was urgent, so please don't tell me you're just going to waste my time with a picnic or something stupid like that wince I came all the way down here to ask you: What's going on?"

	Kanaye smiled in annoyance at Kiriko's arrival. "Ikeda-san, how are you? And trust me, it is very, very urgent. Very." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

From Misaki raising her hand to Kiriko arriving from behind, and then Kanaye's derisive tone, Kou was frightfully coming to realise he'd been lied to. His heart was beating faster. A crowd? It was supposed to be a small meeting. He didn't enjoy crowds. It was better to be outside one, where the distance made him feel safe.

He looked at Maeko. Not wanting to do the impolite thing, he went over and hung around the outside of the group.

"Misaki-chan. Kiriko-san."

	"Ishinomori-san in your class." Maeko said. "Misa says he hasn't shown up to class in a few days and that she's not been able to contact him at all. She's worried he could be over there." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kiriko frowned. "How do you know he didn't just get a new video game or something? He seemed kind of geeky like that." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Because he wouldn't just do that. I mean...he would at least be on Matsuri if he was playing a game right?" Misaki looked at Kiriko. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Not if it was a computer game," she said with a shrug. "But if it's better safe than sorry, then what can we do to find out what happened? Should we check the other world for him?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Hmn. I think if he's not missed several days this might be weird. He's been coming to school pretty often?" Kou pushed his glasses up his nose. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pinksunbeam 2009-06-20 02:33 am UTC (link)
	"He comes to school every day, well mostly every day, but he doesn't miss consectuive days. And even when he's not in school, he's on Matsuri or he'll log on after a while." Misaki noted. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"This is ridiculous," she said with a sigh. "What, are we just going to monitor how many sick days everyone at school takes from now on? Are we going to go storming in every single time somebody misses a couple days? Stuff happens. Maybe he fell and hurt himself and is taking a few days off for bedrest. Besides, even though he wasn't at school, I'm pretty sure I saw him online."

Here, she paused to suppress a smirk.

"He was telling off Shirai on his lifejournal, actually. Didn't know he had it in him, to be honest."

	"It's paranoia. It's like what happens after terrorist attacks; everyone gets jumpy. All we have to do is just go to his house and see if he's there. Problem solved." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pinksunbeam 2009-06-20 12:18 pm UTC (link)
	"Dose anyone know where he lives though?" she pointed out. "What if he doesn't come to talk to us? I say we go on line and see if we can find him there." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Hmm. We could ask his online friends. They might know," Kou offered. "And what did he fall off? His futon?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Fine, try the online thing. You guys can go look on Matsuri tonight. He posted his character name in his journal, right? And didn't he hit the level cap? I'm sure somebody will have info on him." Once again she adjusted her hair. "Oh! But, uh... I.. I still haven't installed Matsuri, so.. Um.. Yeah, I'll have to do that later." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It's a fun game Kiriko-chan...I hope you get on soon." She closed her eyes to think. "I asked Toru-san if I could come over...you don't think that asking if I could watch a few shows is a bad thing." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Matsuri?" Kou didn't enjoy MMORPGs. They were too restrictive and he preferred the real world. What use would he have for a MMORPG when he needed to study at university? He wasn't Toru. He shrugged at Misaki's question. He didn't really know the answer to that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It's a game where you go on quests and such. Something to relieve the tension of school and the real world at times Oubai sempai." Misaki pointed out. "If people don't let their stress out..." (Reply to this) (Parent)
