Eleventh Dazzle | Morning, May 11th | video

[tauborn]

[He looks a little worried, when in fact he is actually a lot worried.]

Um, has anyone heard from Yako today? Or... yesterday?

[The hallway behind him isn't his own. In fact, anyone who has been over to Yako's would know he's standing right in front of her door. He's posting this video after knocking for a desperately long time.]

[tauborn]

She's usually home, or with me, or maybe at a restaurant, or at work.

[Which leaves restaurants as the only place left to look. He shakes his head fearfully.]

Something's happened to her. We need to look.

[blue_wayfinder]

We will, Takuto, but first you need to calm down.

[She knows it's not easy to do, but it won't help if he's this way.]

[tauborn]

How am I supposed to be calm right now?

[He hurriedly exits Yako's apartment and switches the feed to private. There are certain things he doesn't think are appropriate to freely say on the network. There may be children listening, after all.]

I'm pretty sure someone left her dog chopped up in a box in her apartment. She's been missing since yesterday. This is not a situation where I can be calm.

[blue_wayfinder]

Someone did what?

[tauborn]

You heard correctly.

[He's not going to repeat it.]

[There is genuine disgust on her face for a moment before she manages to hide it behind a frown. How anyone could do something like that wasn't the important question here.]

Do you know if they have anything to do with Yako being missing?

[video | private]

[tauborn]

I... I don't know yet.

[He knows who's responsible for the dog. But for whatever reason, it just doesn't seem right that he also went after Yako.]

[video | private]

[blue_wayfinder]

But you know who it is right? The one who got her dog.

[tauborn]

[He nods.] But the more I think about it, and the more I hear from him, the less I think he had something to do with Yako being gone.

[She'll have to trust his judgement on this.]

Then we're right back where we started. Where have you looked so far?

[video | private]

[tauborn]

Only her apartment. [A pause.] But I also know she's not at mine, obviously. [Obviously since he just came from there.]

[video | private]

[blue_wayfinder]

She works at the Agency, right? Have any of her co-workers seen her?

[[video | private]

[tauborn]

Not today, I don't think.

So she never even made it in to work...
