Video 02 → Missing, Presumed Gone

[irregular]

--this thing working this time? It is? Right.

[Ken is sat in his bedroom, holding the Dreamberry a short distance away from his face. He looks - and sounds - rather anxious.]

Um, hi?

My roommate's gone missing. Omi. I'm pretty sure he's not just gone back but he's not answering his phone. If you don't know him he's about my age, blonde hair, blue eyes-- he's the one wearing shorts even though it's freezing. He hasn't been home since Wednesday and... well, has anyone seen him around lately? He doesn't have to come back or anything if he doesn't want to, I just wanna know how he is. Thanks.

[He hesitates for a moment.]

Omi, if you get this... call me.

[The video cuts off.]

He didn't. I don't think he's going to.

Naoya called.

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

And said what?

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

He's got Omi.

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

Excellent. I was afraid he might have gotten off somewhere dangerous.

If that was a joke it's not funny, Youji! Goddamn it, can't you--

Jesus Christ, what are we gonna do?

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure. Watch the Dreamberry for Naoya or Omi. Tell me exactly what he told you, and let's get a hold of Aya and Sena.

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

He didn't tell me much. He--

Christ Youji I don't even know, he called up to say he's been taken care of, what the fuck does that even mean? Then he tried to tell me that he didn't have him but some other local whackjob did, like he thought I'd buy anything he said, and--and some shit about Omi being nine and not remembering shit about us which made precisely no fucking sense at all, even if he can't remember he should still be here, he's still our friend! God dammit!

[There's a thump and a crash; something in Ken's room just got kicked and is probably thanking it's lucky stars it's an inanimate object right now.]

Why did I leave it so long to ask, Youji? Fuck this!

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

Get a hold of Sena and Aya. Calm down. Try not to murder anyone just yet. The cops are right down the hall.

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

You think we should call the cops?!

I just want to know where he is, Youji. I... all I wanted was to know if he was okay, I didn't mean any of-- Christ. Oh, Christ.

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

Ken. Shut up and calm down. Don't make any moves. I'll wait a while, then call Naoya. Bide your time. Omi is fine.

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

Do you know that or are you just guessing?

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

It's an educated guess. Omi's a highly trained assassin.

I mean it. Don't go looking for trouble.
