[It was a beautiful Monday morning. The sun was up and shining in all of Genessia City. Like any firebender, Azula woke with the sun. So there she was, 7 am in the morning, walking along the halls of Tupelo Alley. In her hand was a basket full of fruits. The sweetest fruits she got from the market. Obviously, she woke up very early.

Then she stopped a few feet in front of Room 402, she placed the basket of food down beside her boots and knocked a couple of times. The feed seemed to have been triggered by the fruits moving around the basket Azula carried with her.]

Weiss.

[She paused and knocked another time.] It is I, Princess Azula...

[Another pause. The next statement was a little harder for her.]...your future si...your friend. I'm here to have a nice long chat with you, with regards to future plans and courses of action.

[Then, moments later, when the door opens, the feed ends while Azula tries to pick up the basket which she placed beside her boots. People would notice it was nothing more than Azula awkwardly inviting Weiss to a picnic. But for a special someone, he'd know this was worth panicking over. Azula rarely does regular picnic after all.]

Waking up in the apartment that she shared with Lissa seemed unusually quiet. It was possible that Lissa was still sleeping. Adjusting back to human schedule wasn't easy for Rose, so she couldn't imagine that Lissa would be any better at it. Still in her black tanktop and red pajama bottoms, she yawned as she got out of bed and wandered out of her room. Petting down her bed head, she looked around to see if Lissa was up.

"Lissa? Are you hungry. It's been a few days since you've last fed," she called out to her as she knocked on her door. When there was no answer, she knocked again, "Lissa? Are you even up? Come on. You can't sleep all day."

Going into the room, she went to wake Lissa up, "Lissa, get up. We have to--," and she stopped. Lissa. Maybe it was the drowsiness or just waking up that nulled her senses, but she just now noticed. She didn't sense it. She didn't sense a Moroi in the room or anywhere near her. And panic rushed over.

"Lissa!" she yelled out, freaking out as she pulled the covers off the bed. Nothing. There was nothing there. Lissa wasn't there. Sparing no time to go and change, she immediately grabbed her comm. device, her keys, and put some shoes on and hurried out of the apartment. Not being properly dressed for the day or that she had bed head yet didn't matter anymore. All that mattered was that Lissa was missing and she had a disgustingly good idea of where she must have gone. She was probably gone from here. She probably went home.

So she was running all over the city to look for her. She knew that she probably went home, but this was Lissa. She couldn't help but look for her. Rose felt plenty of emotions. Rage, anger, depression, and over all she was just broken in general. But she rarely ever really showed pain or tears. She rarely ever showed just how broken she was behind that wall she built up around her. She'd had close friends come and go and this was no stranger to her, but this was Lissa. Her best friend. Her sister. She missed her so much and... this was different.

So later on after searching everywhere, she eventually found herself curled up in a ball in a secluded area. And the tears were coming. Lissa was gone. She knew it but she didn't want to believe it. But it was far better for her to go back home than to stay here. She had been waiting for a few years to go home, but Lissa was able to leave at an early time. That was a good thing, but it didn't stop her from breaking down to her emotions. She was strong, but she was only as strong as those dear friends around her.


[After her little breakdown, she's returned to her almost normal calm and collected self. She flipped on the comm. to make it official.]

For anybody who might have known Lissa Dragomir.... She's no longer here. That is there is to say, I guess...

[It was clear that she was still taking it hard, but her wall was back up to hide her pain. And with that, the feed cuts out.]


You know how I asked about those blood tablets... It looks like I'll no longer be needing them. Sorry to bother you.


Hey, Lissa isn't here anymore... Her stuff is missing and it's like... she was never here to begin with... I guess that's a good thing, but... I can't say I like it.

How are you holding up?
