                   V I D E O ;

[Mikasa seemed a little bit exhausted, but working two jobs could do that to a person; especially since Mikasa has gotten a nasty habit of working a lot by choice. But to anyone who knows her well enough, they should know that despite overworking herself, this kind of exhaustion seems... different.]

Has anyone seen Jean around? I've been looking for him for a while now and I can't find him. He's not answering his communicator and I haven't seen him at work....

If anyone knows, please let me know. Thanks.

[And despite the brave front that she's putting on, those who know her well enough might be able to tell that she's obviously worried.]

                   A C T I O N ;

[After spending all day -- if not longer -- searching for Jean, she finally returned home. She didn't bother speaking to anyone, but instead she retired to her room right away. All of her emotions were finally catching up to her now that she was home and in her own room. She just wanted to break down after trying to stay strong all day.

It was obvious by now.Jean was gone. He wouldn't have been gone for this long without talking to her or the others at some point. He would have let them in on what he was doing or where he was, but there was nothing from him. Flopping down on her bed, she didn't exactly do much. Even if her emotions were welling up inside, it was as if they wanted to come out, but didn't know who.

That's when a small creature came over to see what was going on with her. Chespin was curious to see what her owner was doing, or therefore lack of. As if trying to comfort her, she slowly came over to her and nuzzled her leg. Mikasa glanced down to her pokemon and let out a sigh as she picked her up.]

Are you trying to comfort me? Thanks, I appreciate it.

[And there it was. Those tears building up in the corner of her eyes. She didn't want him to leave, but it was just like Eren. Eren left unannounced, but that was the nature of this place.]

Tell me... Is it worth getting close to someone if all that's going to happen is that they're going to leave you behind?

[A question more-or-less to no one in general. A train of thought that escaped from her mind if you will.]

OOC: Feel free to bug her in person too if you find a way/reason to.]

Ah! I don't think I know him but...

[Sakura turns on her phone looking a little worried. She was told that people disappear.]

What's he look like? I'll keep a look out!

Video

[inhisdebt]

He has short blonde hair and uses gear like this.

[Showing her own gear that she had on, she also decided to wear her old Scout military uniform today]

Though I don't know if he used it here much just yet.

Video

[spitfireprincess]

I'll keep a look out then!

[She smiles confidently.]

I'm sure we'll find him. You two must have been close.

[inhisdebt]

What makes you say that?

[Not that it's any secret...]

attack on action tagging by big sis figure

[scoutingangel]

[Petra is about to knock on Mikasa's door, when she hears the question.

...Fuck knocking. She's too worried about her, so let's throw being polite out of the window for a moment. So she walks in a few steps, preparing to either leave if the girl wants her to leave or shut the door if she appreciates human company too.]

It's... More than worth it if you ask me... Even everything back home considered.

[Don't ask how many close friends have left her behind before expedition 57th... No reason to ask how Petra feels about leaving everyone behind during that, Mikasa saw it on this girl's first day here. Yes, it's obvious what's going on here, she's not going to ask who left now.]

Sorry, I just happened to hear that and -- [rushed in without manners, no big deal, Mikasa is important to her, okay.] I can leave if you don't want company.

[Will she actually go even when she says that might be the real question. But you know, she can also continue / talk more if Mikasa wants that and hugs instead.]

Thanks big sis ;-;

[inhisdebt]

[Mikasa wasn't expecting the sudden entrance -- though she should have -- but she jumped a bit looking to the door with Chespin on her lap. She didn't say anything at first. She opened her mouth to say something, but nothing came out so she closed it.

Petra would know. Maybe the question was insensitive for those who weren't still alive back home, but she also didn't expect anyone to hear it. She wanted to stop the tears and pretend she was okay, but she wasn't. It hurt. It hurt not having him around anymore. It hurt to not have the person she turned to the most besides Armin around anymore.

Everything just ached. So not even bothering to tell her to get out or do anything, she lowered her head, careful of Chespin's spikes.]

It's okay...

[scoutingangel]

[Petra closes the door as soon as Mikasa says that. Not that she really minds if anyone wants to hear what she might say to her, but if a closed door makes it feel better for the other girl... She's not sure, she doesn't really think about it any further.

She walks to sit on her bed and gently pets Mikasa's hair. She knows that pain well. Too well. Even here, because yes hello Eren leaving the only place where she could still see him and everything that's happened back home...]

We'll still have the memories of everything about them and our time together, those are important. [stating obvious things here, sorry, more coming up too.] And it is amazing to know that people love and care for each other so much, that's-- [ ... really important too? Or something, she swallows. Never an easy topic, she's lost so many great friends back home.]

It's excruciating, being left behind. Fucking exhausting and hurts like Hell every single time too, but I still think it's always been worth it.

[Hell might be a bad word for it maybe, when the world outside the walls is like hell, but well this girl here survived through that countless times unlike many others.]

[Action]

[lookprofessor]

[Luke was tired of people going home. Not because they couldn't leave--he himself ached to be home, and a part of him was outright jealous of those who left--but he was tired people just up and disappearing because it made everyone so sad.

Forget calling Mikasa. Or even going just to her house. He was her friend and he was going to see her with his own eyes and try and help her. Because he knew what it meant when someone suddenly didn't answer their communicator.

So Mikasa is going to hear a pebble against her window and a very quiet 'Miss Mikasa?' from the ground below, Luke peering up. He's a bit too shy of the others in the house to use the front door and he supposed she might want her privacy.

That or he hasn't thought his plan through. He is a teenage boy after all. One can only expect so much.]

[Action]

[inhisdebt]

[Sitting there on her bed with Chespin on her lap, she turned to the window once she heard the pebble. Setting Chespin down, she got up to see who it was. Luke. What was Luke doing here at this time of night? To be honest, Mikasa wasn't really in the mood to see anyone right now. Not with Jean leaving and talking to Petra. The anguish of a dear friend leaving was one thing, but the anguish of somebody you loved more than just friends was another. That grief that she never really told him.

But still... she couldn't just ignore him and this was Luke we were talking about. The boy who she come to think of as a brother of sorts. Turning away from the window, she wiped her tears from her eyes before going downstairs to see him. Not too long later, she finally opened the door, peering out to him.]

Luke...? What are you doing here?

[Action]

[lookprofessor]

[Causing trouble trying to help her feel better.

He has nothing to say, a hesitant frown on his face as he considers her for a moment. It's clear to him that Mikasa had been crying. Standing on the grass, Luke shuffles his feet for a moment. What would the Professor do? He had just wanted to ask if she was okay--maybe it would have been better just to call, but he really thought a phone call wouldn't count and didn't do enough, not when something like this happened.

So after considering what he'd do for a few seconds, he rushes the door before he can think any harder, moving fast enough that he can't redirect himself, and then throws his arms around her waist. Altogether this isn't a particularly tight or smothering hug, his head bowed and tucked into her stomach, fingers tangling into the fabric of her top.

His voice is muffled, but he's saying something anyway. What he's actually saying is "Mr. Jean went home and I thought you needed a hug, not just someone saying they were sorry." What's audible is more akin to:] Jean...home...hug.

[halffreckled]

Jean's...gone missing? [ his voice catches in his throat. he hadn't seen him in a while but he figured that he had just been busy...with Mikasa. they hadn't talked or seen eachother for what felt like a really long time ]

I know how upset you are... B-But keep your chin up! He should be around here and he's probably just fine! There's...there's no way he left... [ not without the both of them... not back to a world where Marco was dead again... ]

video:

[inhisdebt]

.... Yeah... I... I've looked everywhere, but I can't find him.

[She's been trying her best to do that, but seeing Marco and then thinking of how he must feel too... It made it harder to keep a straight face and keep from showing that weakness.]

I'm going to keep looking for as long as it takes. If you have/get any ideas or information, let me know.

video:

[halffreckled]

Maybe he's... He might be busy. He could've found some Pokemon to train! A lot of people have them now, it seems. They've been bringing them to work with them.

[ he looks nervous, scared even. he doesn't want Mikasa to see him. so after a moment, he switches it to audio but he pretends like he dropped it ]

Video; Private

[rulerofme]

Mikasa...

Is there anything I can do?

Video; Private

[inhisdebt]

If you could, could you see if you can track him?

Video; Private

[rulerofme]

I tried already. [He thinks it's probably obvious what the results of his tracking was.]

Audio

[umadrobin]

Never heard of 'em.

Audio

[inhisdebt]

Well, if you do, let me know.

[AKA Don't waste my time if you're not going to be helpful.]

Audio

[umadrobin]

Mighta seen him, though. What's he look like?

{ He is, after all,a private investigator with Raven. Under aliases. }

[neverfeltthatway]

[Armin wasn't as aware of Mikasa's plight as he perhaps should have been - during that time, he'd been conducting his own search, and it had been equally unfruitful. He'd been quieter about it, but when he came into Mikasa's room, his face showed clearly that he'd already been crying. He'd come for comfort, because he needed to not be alone, and Mikasa was the only one left he was truly close to - but when he sees Mikasa like that, curled up on the bed and crying, he can't help but understand. He lets out a noise halfway between a gasp and a sob as a deeper sorrow and desperation dawns.]

N-no, not... not Jean too?

[He'd been trying to be strong, trying not to break down completely - but at the news his face crumples and he falls almost silently to his knees, no longer able to hold it in.]

[inhisdebt]

[Her Chespin had already jumped off her lap to give her some space. She didn't even notice that Armin had walked in until he spoke up. Looking up, it was clear that she had been crying as well. She immediately tried to put up a brave front per normal, but seeing him distraught and then the keywords being "too"....]

What do you mean by "too"? [Which was verified as a yes on her end]

[neverfeltthatway]

[Already crying again, Armin slumps against the wall, curling defensively into a ball as he struggles to speak through his sobs.]

S-S-Sansa's gone...

action

[cleanlevis]

[Apparently the guy with the horse face had gone home. after seeing the future, Levi had understood that the guys is a good and capable soldier, but also a very close friend to all of them. Moreso with Mikasa in this place. Of course Mikasa would be down.

Levi's Chespin walks over first, greeting Mikasa's Chespin as he did. The trainer didn't stay too far from his Pokémon.

Of course Levi would come and comfort his only living relative. Besides, he knew how it felt to lose important people from your life.]

Want to spar?

[Yes very smooth. Thanks for the comforting words, Levi.]

action

[inhisdebt]

[Chespin was more than happy to have another friend to keep her company while her owner had company. As long as she wasn't alone. Hey, let's play!

Sparring wasn't exactly what she had in mind right now, but considering this was Levi and that sparring would actually help her vent a little of her emotions.... Maybe that wasn't such a bad idea? She didn't move right away, wiping her eyes onto the sleeve of her Scout jacket.]

........Yeah...

action

[cleanlevis]

[Levi's Chespin will happily play with Mikasa's when the trainers were talking... or whatever they were doing.]

It wasn't an order so if you don't want to, we can save it for later.

[It was just a suggestion because Levi isn't very good at this kind of talk...]
