[Clarke Griffin had visited Jade's quarters this morning--about half an hour ago, more precisely. In the end, too, it was an entirely different affair compared to the last confrontation they'd collectively had in that same room. That conversation is over now, but the contents had been....
Hm.
--At least it's impossible for anyone else to know just how many times Jade typed and retyped this message, on the verge of not sending anything at all. But finally...]
Natsuno Yuuki. Are you somewhat acquainted with him, Tear?
[The answer is about in line with what Jade had expected, with the rough context he's collected so far. He hasn't been constantly stalking Tear's interactions with others on the ship or anything, just a glance from afar on occasion here and there, but the crowd of teens that had rightfully all but assaulted him upon his return from the mission last month had evidently all been notified by Tear in some form, and Natsuno was among them. Only very casual acquaintances, then...
In some ways that makes this easier. ...And in other ways it's simultaneously also a bit more difficult, like this. Which is a weird feeling all around, though feelings in general are something Jade's trying not to pursue at the moment.]
As I'm sure you've noted by this point, he and I share living quarters presently. [Since Natsuno was likely right there watching impassively in the backdrop, upon accompanying Jade back to the room, as Clarke and Tear had immediately set upon Jade with fury as well that one night in 109--] However, there has been no sign of him since yesterday. We accompanied each other to the information meeting held in the library, that morning...but afterwards we parted ways, and that was the last I saw of him.
I don't suppose you've run into him at any point in the last several hours yourself, have you?
[ her first thought is to wonder if natsuno is simply avoiding the colonel, perhaps due to lingering resentment -- but the notion is quelled quickly. he didn't seem the type to play those kinds of games, or to hold a grudge like that. especially if they'd gone to an information meeting together.
so it likely isn't due to an emotional response, nor perhaps anything related to jade. from the way the colonel's messages read, it seems as though such behaviour is definitely out of place. ]
I haven't.
Where does he usually spend his time when not in the cabin?
[ the colonel has probably checked them already ,but ... ]
I'll keep an eye out for him, and will report back if I see him.
A good question. I don't exactly tend to follow him about noting his haunts most days. I believe he goes to that arcade place fairly often, though...and he's always bringing books back with him to our room, from the library.
He's generally quite taciturn, probably prefers hanging about in places with lesser amounts of foot traffic as well. So he can keep to himself.
A report would be appreciated, if you do. I'll be searching as well soon, I think. Although
[Hm. Hmmm. It still...felt odd, writing that whole first bit. Seeing Tear's response, too. Conducting themselves, as if there's still a possibility that either of them will find anything. That Natsuno isn't most likely to be...
...
There's a bit of a delay, before:]
On occasion, disappearances do occur among the passengers on this ship.
It shouldn't be discounted, I suppose, that this may very well be another of those cases...
[ about how people would just disappear from the ship, and that it wasn't a mistake nor a successful escape attempt. if she recalls correctly, it had been explained to her at length by mister summer. ]
Does he normally come back to the cabin every single night?
I've seen people sleeping in the library sometimes, or in other places.
Lately, yes. In the past we had more disagreements, so he wouldn't be present as often...but we found a few compromises since, and he seems to generally prefer using the bed. Granted, it's always possible that something I've done has set off his ire again. I confess I cannot think of anything that might have changed, however. Something learned in the meeting, perhaps? Hard to say.
[Very hard to say. Natsuno tends to take any form of terrible news in a grim sort of stride, he's noticed; and besides, the tidbit that had distressed most other passengers was something Natsuno had been aware of for quite awhile already. He and Rita had been the first to acquire actual confirmation from the captain, that their existences on this ship are merely some sort of offshoot, from a presence that still continues to exist back home....
Speaking of their existences being offshoots--]
How much were you told, about the disappearances? In my experience, there's never been any sort of warning or sign that it might happen to someone, and the process is a very abrupt thing. One day they are present, and the next they are simply...not.
Allegedly, the entirety of their essence essentially becomes more fuel for this ship.
10/2; continues harassing ur inbox with more depressing things apparently smh

Date: 2022-10-06 02:35 am (UTC)I can't say I know him well, though.
[ but he'd seemed like a nice boy, and his regenerative abilities had been
something of a curiosity to her. ]
Why do you ask?
one day somebody else will finally cleanse this inbox...maybe....also LMAO resting grumpy face
