No, no, no, no, no...

Nonononononono--

Greg! Haku! Horatio! Alexis! Tory! E-Everyone!

Dammit, where did they go-- you guys-

D-Don't leave me! I-I...

[ And now we have some sobbing. ]

Sabine! I'm still here! Calm down. I don't think they're gettin' sent home...

[bondingalchemy.livejournal.com]

But they l-left me here...

They l-left me...

[ponchotexas.livejournal.com]

No, no, I don't think that's it...

Look outside. Look at the street. It's empty.

Something's goin' on.

[bondingalchemy.livejournal.com]

...

A-Are we... going to be left alone...?

[ponchotexas.livejournal.com]

*so not mentioning he can't find Cath's signal either*

N-no... Sabine... you can't think like that. We'll get 'em back.

I'm out lookin' right now. Would you feel better being out here with me?

[bondingalchemy.livejournal.com]

M-Mmhmm...

[Attached: Location Marker]

I'll wait for you here. After that we're gonna go find Len and search together.

We'll figure this out, Sabine. You just gotta stay calm and keep belevin' that Greg wouldn't leave you unless he absolutely couldn't help it.

[Attachment: Received]

Okay...

I'll be wearing my military uniform, for this excursion.

[ponchotexas.livejournal.com]

That works. It'll be easy to see you that way.

Hurry up. I don't want Len out there alone much longer.

[bondingalchemy.livejournal.com]

Heh... You don't need to tell me twice.

[tamerofdragons.livejournal.com]

Take a breath, Sabine. I agree with Nick; something's going on.

Get your head on right--if something's going down and half the population's gone then we're going to need everyone we have, especially people with battle experience.

[bondingalchemy.livejournal.com]

...I-I can't...

I - why wasn't I there to p-protect Greg...

[tamerofdragons.livejournal.com]

Sabine. You don't know what happened, and you can't be everywhere to protect everyone.

Give yourself some time, but don't forget there are people here who'll need you, especially if something bad's going to happen. Len, for one. The 'loids who weren't taken. Nick. You can't forget them in favour of grieving. Greg and the others wouldn't want you to.

[bondingalchemy.livejournal.com]

B-But... that's w-what a soldier does... T-They protect everyone...

[...]

W-Who from the Vocaloids i-is still here...?

[tamerofdragons.livejournal.com]

They try, Sabine. It doesn't mean they always succeed. And it doesn't mean it's their fault when they don't.

... We would like to point out that we will tell Master this next time--

Not helping, Draca. The 'loids?

Len-cub is still here. Miku-cub and Meiko-mistress too. And Nigaito-cub and Kaito-cub.

And I've spoken to Dell on the D-Comm. We're still getting a read on the rest of the residents, so I don't know about the others, but we'll find out, Sabine.

Hmm, looks like Miria decided to finish the job she started a few days ago. A little late, but works for me. Better hurry up and make sure the rest of your family is safe.

Damn. Well at least Greg served his purpose.

(OOC:Strikes not there)

[bondingalchemy.livejournal.com]

... Miria? What do you mean?

[Anon / Untraceable / Text / Locked]

[hrtlssguardian.livejournal.com]

Oh come now Ms. Alshire, didn't Mr. Sanders tell you? I made a deal with Miria. I told her I would give her mother to her if she destroyed your family. Some family members just disappeared. Put it together Miss Alshire.

[ That is one of the worst things you could say to her. ]

...y-you-

What kind of game are you playing at?! No one is destroying our family, no one! I won't allow it!

[Anon / Untraceable / Text / Locked]

[hrtlssguardian.livejournal.com]

No one is trying to destroy your family? Then no one attacked the Hyperion? Then no one put your boyfriend in the hospital? No one tried to kill your children? You really should get your facts straight miss Alshire.

You... You just...

Shut up! Just shut up! Shut up, shut up, shut up!

[Anon / Untraceable / Text / Locked]

[hrtlssguardian.livejournal.com]

This is just too easy.

From what I understand, HSATs are very persistent at their assigned tasks. Little by little, Miria will carve away at your family until no one is left but you. Then she'll come for you.

[lush-singer.livejournal.com]

Whoa, whoa, Sabine, this isn't how you react.

They didn't LEAVE.

Someone TOOK them!

[bondingalchemy.livejournal.com]

T-Took them?

[lush-singer.livejournal.com]

Yes! Our family wouldn't leave like that!

Especially not Haku! She'd hate having to be away from us for a few day, let alone for good!

[bondingalchemy.livejournal.com]

M-Mm... I-I see...

[lush-singer.livejournal.com]

So don't wallow in despair! We have to be ready to kick this sucker's ass!

[bondingalchemy.livejournal.com]

H-Heh... right.

[lush-singer.livejournal.com]

So let's go find this guy and do just that!

[bondingalchemy.livejournal.com]

Alright.
