Ratio's missing.

And not just in the "they've left this world" way people tend to go missing, someone took him. And if I find out that it's one of you--

I'm finding him and there is nothing on this backwater dying planet that will keep me from destroying whatever is between me and him. That's your one and final warning.

[ his teeth may bare at the message contents, but the urgency of the situation overcomes his own ire easily. ]

when did you last see him? where?

Two hours ago, leaving our hotel room. He wouldn't just leave and not come back

coordinates.
i’m on the way. i’ll take the north

[Well fuck.]

Aventurine-san, would it be alright if I asked you some question in order to aid an investigation?

[If the answer is no, fine. But if not:]

What is the address of the hotel? Did he say where he was going or when he'd be back? Did anything seem out of the ordinary before he left? Like his mood, or the way he was acting?

you're sure he was taken?

[Okay he's NOT going to like. Try to tell Aventurine to calm down because that'll probably just seem condescending coming from him, and also it's probably pointless anyway. He's just. Gonna.]

HOW do you know he was taken?

( coordinates sent. )

I've flown over the entire damned city and there's nothing

( aventurine sends over the address of the hotel in a second, not bothering to correct raidou's form of address. )

We ordered something for the cats. He was going down to pick it up because he was ( he knew what day it was. he was gentle, but with a refreshing firmness aventurine craved. and now he's gone. ) Nothing was different

Thank you. How long has he been gone? I'll start to search the area near the hotel and branch out from there. I'll partner up with Choso and see what we can find.

[ at this point in time, somewhere in the city and closing in Fast on the given coordinates, a man in a somewhat-too-small maid outfit sprints at top speed through the streets, leaving Disquiet and New Awakenings in his wake.

ratio must be found, for many reasons now; choso does not want to find out if senketsu can pierce Aventurine’s flesh. ]

underground maybe. if you have top ground i can go beneath. i know the train system.

Yes

don't do anything stupid
i can help look for him but you have to give me time

He wouldn't leave me today of all days. The package he was supposed to pick up is still there. He wouldn't just leave.

[ Yesod imagines that Aventurine will be inundated with a flood of responses and questions, so he will follow the discussion and aim to avoid redundant remarks. ]

There are more of us who can join you in expanding your search efforts. Do you have reason to believe that someone specifically targeted Dr. Ratio?

what? Doc's missing? just like that? was he involved in anything at the time that might explain where he's gone or what happened to him?

No. He's done nothing here that would make someone target him, and I haven't either. There's sore losers everywhere, of course, but I've been holding back for the year I've been here.

Why would one of us do something like that? If he's actually missing, we're the ones who are going to do everything we can to find him!

So try clearing that head of yours enough to realize that much so we can start being a little more rational about what to do.

Oh? Him now, too?

[ He's still going to be mean. Just.

Less mean. ]

One would think after one, we would be taking better precautions. Now that there are two...

Clearly, a touch more healthy paranoia should be employed. One never knows when there is a pair of arms ready to push, after all.

[ He's continuing with the bit from tary's post. Like an Asshole ]

Edited (wait i thought of something funnier) 2025-05-06 01:45 (UTC)

[ in the guts of neo-tokyo’s yamanote line, where choso feels the fewest eyes: ]

don’t do anything crazy.
i don’t want to have to kill you.

Edited (spelling…!) 2025-05-06 00:27 (UTC)

[ Aventurine really is not the levelheaded one in this relationship, huh? ]

It seems rather uncanny that he disappeared directly after Ereshkigal did.

That's concerning.

[Both the disappearance and pretty much the entirety of that text post.]

I can't think of anyone would do do something like that.

[Which doesn't mean he wasn't taken, just that she's stumped here. Not that she's going to put too much effort into this mystery. More pressing than the other reported disappearance she thinks, but also they can manage fine with a couple of missing people should they still be missing when the next kaiju shows up.]

You'll find one of my many talents includes being very difficult to kill

I just want him back

[Okay, so... Not exactly the concrete evidence Dearka was hoping for. It's not that he doesn't believe Aventurine when he says that Ratio is missing or anything. It's just... It would be helpful to have something more to build a search off of, for starters.]

Hey, I hear ya. But there are other possible explanations besides "left" and "taken", that's the main reason I'm asking. The more info you can share the more we can help you get to the bottom of this.

What's the deal with this package you mentioned?

[He'll ask about the date but, probably better to take this one step at a time right now.]

How much time

With us living out of this hotel room we needed stuff for the cats. He went out to pick it up at the front desk, and never got to it. So what, Dearka is the explanation you're willing to give?
