one √ video; action for baldr welcome hall

[She noticed a while ago that Asuka's name was gone from the contact list. And she's even tried sending messages to her regardless of the fact that they don't really go through.]

Asuka, if you're here, can you please answer? I can't contact you that easily.

[The bracelet is a harsh mistress and is turned on without Hikari knowing. And its not a really good moment for her. She's looking kind of numbly at the door of a room in the Baldr Welcome Hall There's no name on it anymore, so that fills the silent moment with over a thousand words worth of an explanation.

When she notices her bracelet is on and recording, ahhhh starts and freaks out a bit because she didn't know and she didn't want- But she can't do anything about the situation, the bracelet's recording and she's got to turn it off now. But first, apologize, politely!]

Ah... I'm sorry! [bows with a pretty far-away expression] The bracelet turned on without me knowing. I'll turn it off now.

[At that, shuts it off.]

They tend to do that. [ Referring to the accidental video shenanigans. ]

Is something wrong, Hikari? [ Concern is tightly wrapped in his tone. ]

Johan-san... [Staying with audio because that's a good idea, yeah. She feels she can trust Johan enough to tell him this.]

... I can't find my friend from home. I tried checking her room, but...

Oh, I'm sorry, Hikari. [ He sounds very sincere as he says this, his voice quieting slightly. ]

Are you saying she's gone back home? Or is she just missing from her room? If it's the latter, I can help you look.

Thank you. [Sounds touched. Johan you are so wonderful.]

... I really, really want it to be the latter... But her name's gone from the contacts list.

Would you like to talk about it?

We can here, or anywhere you'd want. I'd like to try and help you out, Hikari. I haven't had anybody from home arrive here, so perhaps I don't know the pain of losing their presence at this place, but... I've experienced loneliness, too.

In fact, I've felt a bit alone lately. I hope you don't mind me asking for your company.

[Wow that hit all of her doki doki buttons.]

I... I don't mind at all. It'd be very nice to talk with you somewhere, Johan-san.

I-I don't have anywhere particular in mind, but...

Why don't we meet at the Heimdall District? Once you exit the House, turn right. If you walk a couple of blocks in that direction, there will be a bakery between a simple tailor shop and a florist.

... Okay. That sounds alright with me.

I'll meet you there as soon as I can, Johan-san.

I'll be waiting.

Y' 're trying t' find a friend?

[She knew she was going to have to answer to people she doesn't know... But she's going to be polite. Though, honestly, talking to people she does know here is still just as, if not more, uncomfortable.]

... Mm, that's right. I haven't heard from her in a little while.

[Should he offer to keep his eyes open for that friend? But he would hardly recognize them unless they are really distinctive.

And he does not want to seem like he is prying. But on the other side he really wants to help. But how should he express that?]

's that so.

[No, no. That was not right at all. The scary face on this end gets even scarier while he tries to think of the right thing to say.]

Hikari... [She recognises that blank stare at an empty door.] ... I'm sorry. If you want to come back home, I'll make you some tea, and something to eat if you want, and - you can talk if you feel like it, or just stay quiet. It doesn't matter.

[The mothering competition is back on.]

[It takes her a little bit to respond back with video. No don't start this whole mothering competition Hikari has sustained critical injuries to her mothering techniques and shouldn't even be fighting.]

... Nakama-san. I... I really appreciate the offer, but it might be a little while before I head... home. [Glances downward.]

... But having some tea when I come back might be nice... Thank you.

How have you been doing?

Just come straight to my room when you get back, okay? I'll wait there for you. I'm not doing anything else.

I'm... I'm alright. [She smiles sheepishly, wondering if distraction might be the best thing right now.] I'm trying to find some hobbies to fill in the time between work and training. Everyone tells me I should relax more, but all I did at home was work and go to school, mostly. So I didn't really know where to start.

... Okay. Thank you.

Mm, that sounds familiar to me, actually. I mean, I was also class representative, so there was a lot of work to do at school. But... [Lost in nostalgia excuse her and also excuse me for being so late ;;]

So was I. [She blinks in surprise.] It was hard, wasn't it, keeping everyone in order? Most of the people in my class wanted to avoid work and organization whenever possible.

[Something's wrong with that expression, and the excuse.

Forgive him, Hikari. He's looking a bit haggard and run down himself.]

Hikari?

[She notices that haggardness, and even if she's run-down too, she's still worrying.]

Riku-kun... You don't look so well.

[He's used to not really getting a lot of sleep anyways, so it's almost normal for him. He just knows how to not show it.]

I'll be fine, Hikari-chan. What's wrong?

[Teach her the ways of the brooding, Riku.]

... I can't find my friend.

[Sure thing. FIRST, YOU NEED TO DESTROY YOUR OWN WORLD. SECOND, MOPE FOREVER ABOUT IT.]

You too, huh?

What do they look like? I'll try to keep an eye out. [Although he knows that finding them isn't very likely to happen.]

Yeah... I've heard of them doing that. No need to apologize, it's fine.

[she pauses as she sees the expression on the other girl's face, frowning a little...]

I know it's probably not my place to ask, but... are you okay?

Mm, I know, but it still feels polite to apologize anyway.

[major pause.]

... I'll be fine... She might come back, anyway!

[ahhh, that explains it. Chie does her best to offer the other girl a soft smile.]

Yeah, that's the spirit...! I'm sure she wouldn't want you to be upset, either.

[Gives a small smile back.]

Yeah... I bet you're right. [Actually does not know what Asuka would want. And kind of does not want to think about it.]

I dunno if it means all that much from a stranger, but I hope you feel better.

... It does mean a little bit. Thank you.

I'm Horaki Hikari. What's your name?

In that case, you're welcome. I'm glad I could help, even if just a little.

And I'm Satonaka Chie. It's nice to meet you, Horaki-san.

Is everything okay, Hikari-neechan?

Ah, I'm okay, Conan-kun... Just wondering about a friend of mine.

She's from my home.

Ne ... I had a friend leave too.

[Her eyes widen in surprise because wow that kid is sharp... Though it probably was obvious.]

... Y-You did?

Lirael-neechan! She arrived at the start just like I did -- took care of me too! But one day she didn't come down to breakfast and when I went to check ... her name wasn't on her door.

[ baldr isn't his district, but noel's been working his way through all of them in his search for artefacts. he only notices hikari out of the corner of his eye at first, but on his way back through he pays a little more attention. ]

Hey, are you okay? [ it might be weird to just approach a stranger like that, but he has no sense of awkwardness. ]

[Ah, she wasn't really expecting... someone to actually come up to her while she was staring. The only people she accidentally alerted was anyone on the Network.... This man's kind of pretty.]

Oh, um... I-I was just looking for a friend. I'm fine, sir!

[ yep noel's just weird like that. not having many people around doesn't do wonders for someone's social capabilities. ]

Really? You know, I'm pretty good at finding things. [ people =/= artefacts... and he hasn't managed to find any of them either. ~talent~ ] I could help you look.
