Oui, even the darkest depths of the sea can't escape my gaze. Were he simply hidden away somewhere, I would know.

[And Idia is absolutely right, there are no signs that Jade went back to Twisted Wonderland. But his magic isn't limited to living creatures--even if Jade had died, he should still be able to track the location of the merman's corpse, shouldn't he?

He doesn't like any of the possibilities this implies: either Jade is trapped somewhere beyond this world they can't easily find or follow, something dangerously cunning and malicious is actively interfering with or purging his magic somehow, even though its so weak and subtle even Ortho's sensors had dismissed it as a mere good luck charm, or..... there may quite simply be nothing left of Jade to track. If the merman's body was utterly obliterated somehow, then it would make perfect sense if his unique magic had failed all at once with no warning.]

[In their youth, Jade and Floyd went missing quite frequently, sometimes together, sometimes alone... but they always turned up by sunset. This is different. This is what he hears about over the network around this time of year, every year. Another person missing, another person gone, their names lingering behind like a ghost--

Floyd doesn't respond for several minutes. Then,]


sum1 has him

[He won't accept another explanation.]

hes in trouble

You do realize that would only get you pointlessly arrested, non?

Even assuming they're the right people to ask, there's no guarantee any one guard would know what what you need, especially if it happened under the table. How would you be able to help him from a jail cell?


[He's not going to object to the idea of brutalizing and interrogating a SIN Guard on principle, but..... If Jade turns back up and finds out he hadn't at least triedto keep Floyd from going to jail, he'd probably be mad, huh? If you're going to do something illegal, you really shouldn't get caught so easily, especially over something that probably won't even help.]

[He's just mad, that's all. Mad and frustrated. There's nothing Floyd hates more than not being able to do anything.]

i kno that

but they piss me off

I'm sorry, I know it's frustrating. But if you snap before your prey is in striking distance, you'll scare them away entirely, won't you?

If you have reason to think they might be behind this, then you would need to know what might actually be happening. Finding out where they spend time together and talk freely might be a good start. There are countless bars all over the city that might make for good places to listen to post shift chatter.


[Yeah no, he's not admitting to his own distaste over the Internet. Better to just encourage a little harmless stalking, right? It's better than being helpless, at least.]

i dont wanna wait

i want jade

i want him NOW


[Floyd’s fully aware he’s grown attached to his twin since arriving here. He thought he was better at keeping longer distances for longer periods of time, but—

Bitterness rises from the back of his throat.]


where r u

I'm at home. What are you planning?

[Please don't make him have to chase after you to prevent anything too drastic, Floyd. He understands at least a little of how you feel, but still.....]
eelusive: (♏ let me see your mean)

[personal profile] eelusive 2024-11-13 04:37 pm (UTC)(link)
u gotta keep me under control

[personal profile] beauman 2024-11-13 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure anyone is capable of such a thing, but I'll do my best.

Shall I come find you? Should I bring anything?


[No promises, he's not sure even Jade and Azul combined could keep Floyd under control. But apparently it's his responsibility to give it his best shot in Jade's absence? Somehow, he's not sure that he's the right man for the job..... But it's still sweet that he's the first one Floyd thinks to turn to? Maybe?]

Of course. Assuming we don't get waylaid ourselves, we'll be there soon.

[No, no, he's pretty sure this is a tsundere thing. He likes tsunderes! You definitely like him, and he will be flattered by this clear Demonstration of Friendship (TM) whether you like it or not.]
