1st Record [Video]

[historyrabbit]

[You're getting a rather annoyed - and yet almost panicked - looking redhead, Asgardians.]

Oi, if anyone's seen Ruca, let me know. Those of you that don't know him he's a little shorter than average height, silver hair and green-blue eyes. Went to go get some food and he disappeared.

[Hesitates a moment.]

Ruca, if you catch this, come back. I already promised I wouldn't "kidnap" you again, as you put it.

[Live and unwilling security blanket, where did you go...]

[bluespacebabe]

But you didn't really kidnap someone, right...?

[historyrabbit]

[Huffing] Of course not, I just showed him a place where he'd be safe from harm.

[bluespacebabe]

Which he definitely wanted to go to.

[historyrabbit]

It was more secure than the library.

[prazerbutterfly]

I didn't think kidnapping was something a Bookman did. [Hello, Lavi. Did you miss him already?]

[video]

[historyrabbit]

[Scowling.]

I didn't kidnap anyone. What do you want?

[At least he's restraining himself from asking where Tyki is.]

[video]

[prazerbutterfly]

That's not the word I'm hearing. Since when did you become so devious, hmm?

[He would enjoy him coming right now. He could really use a little fun.]

[video]

[historyrabbit]

[So they can punch the hell out of each other?]

I'm not! It's this damn curse.

[historyrabbit]

It's not like I can exactly help it at the moment because of this stupid curse, you know?

text;

[chronologistics]

no i dont know actually

[historyrabbit]

That was more of a rhetorical "you know". I'm not the only one being hit with this.

[Video]

[paintthetownred]

...You kidnapped him?

[Video]

[historyrabbit]

His words, not mine. [Looks a little frustrated.]

[Video]

[paintthetownred]

What exactly did you do, then?

[Video]

[historyrabbit]

I just... I took him somewhere safe. Safer than where he was.

[Video]

[5thchild]

Ah, the curse.

Though kidnapping is a bit too much, isn't it?

[Video]

[historyrabbit]

I didn't! I just...I took him somewhere safe.

[Video]

[5thchild]

Against his will?

[Voice]

[linkedtogod]

...why are you kidnapping people?

[Voice]

[historyrabbit]

[Frustrated noise.] I'm not.

[Voice]

[linkedtogod]

Then...what was that supposed to be?

<sub>[Talking to people and asking for help resulted in Ruca feeling worse and worse with every moment and worrying how Lavi is doing now. In the end he decides to follow Asahi's and Kirino's advices and at least let Lavi know that he is okay.

It takes him a while to decide how to do it, but eventually he writes a short message.]</sub>

I'm okay. Please do not worry about me.

[historyrabbit]

[Ruca! Lavi just about falls out of his chair from where he was waiting, hoping that Ruca would come back on his own.

It's not the actual presence that he wants but at least it's from Ruca's device and Lavi knows he's fine.]

I'm still going to worry! I'm sorry, it's this stupid curse. It should be over soon, right? I just. I need you here.

[demonicbookworm]

<sub>[Ruca lets a soft sigh when he reads the reply. At this point he feels so bad about running away it's a wonder that he isn't already on his way back.

Which also makes hiding pointless, but at least he was alone for a few hours.]</sub>

You shouldn't apologize. None of this is your fault. But yes, you are right. It should be over soon.

I'm very sorry for leaving like that. I'll be back soon, I promise.

_{[He stares at what he has just written for a good moment. This wasn't supposed to be like this. He was supposed to... ah, never mind! He is just going to reason with Lavi once he gets back.]}
