[Al looks a little sick and he sounds a little funny too because his nose is stuffed up.]

Sorry that I didn't come to alchemy class today... I thought it would be better if I stayed home and didn't get anyone else sick...

I'm sure you did great, Fletcher. [He gives a light smile.] How did it go? I'll be there next time, I promise.

[...It's been no good. There's no finding that plushie of Kobato's, and he did look. And what was he supposed to say, anyway? Somehow, talking to a little screen seemed wrong.

Was she crying again? For some reason, Kiyokazu couldn't stand that thought. He just had to take care of her for Sayaka! He wasn't...going out of his way or anything. He felt like it. That was it.

But first he had to find her. And the only way to do that was...with the communicator. Dammit.]

Hey, girl--Kobato. [He makes the correction, remembering that she's hardly the only girl here.] Where are you?

[He's moving even as he calls. The shelter was the first place to start looking for her, right?]

[Hopefully no one will be overly alarmed by a grey-skinned girl with pointy teeth grinning at the camera.]

Tavros! Tavros! I got my recuperacoon! You want a turn? It works puurrrrrfectly! [Guess who's feeling better?

The camera view switches from the little girl to her door in the shelter. It's covered in blood.

Blood doodles, that is. She's drawn an assortment of ridiculously cute, two-mouthed kitties along with "Nepeta Leijon" and "Remember to knock! <3" All in red blood she found in the kitchen! :DD]

Does anybody know where I can find blue? Or green? The fridge I found only had red. I wanna paint with the whole rainbow! [From her tone of voice, you would never guess that she was talking about blood and not finger paint.]

[The sun hasn't set, but it is lower in the sky and the breeze is cool but still warm. Just the perfect weather for a gathering by the poolside. Should you enter the backyard of the large red manor in Sector 4, you'll see the trees, the stone, the waterfall. Remember the image on the front of your invitation? You'll be seeing it right there in that backyard. A paradise. Jacuzzi included.

Rayflo's only disappointed he hadn't built it sooner.

There is a long table with drinks--sparkling grape juice the closest thing to alcohol--cakes, brownies, and plates of grilled meats courtesy of "Chef Neil." There are chairs and chaises and a shaded lounge swing where a small cream-and-white-striped kitten is sleeping. Two maids will be coming around to offer or get you anything you wish. Do come in and enjoy yourselves.~]
