~♥TWENTY-NINE♥~

[Masaomi has been dreadfully ill since, well... since about Nagisa's party and going to look for a starfish the night before. Since then, well... he passed out there, barely made it home, and had been nursed ever since. He was slightly delirious though all this, and he relied on Saki to get him through things while working on autopilot. He wasn't able to really move much himself until about the 29th or so. After that you might have seen him going in and out of the kitchen. But had he not seen Saki as much somehow...?

This pattern lasts until he wakes up about three PM on the 3rd. He's finally feeling better, and is able to pick up the journal, flip through things, and then go check on Saki and... she's not there. He searches the apartment, is it just him or is it more empty. Finally, he goes to make a filtered message to her to see if she's around...

And. She's not. The filter breaks.

She's gone.

Gone.

He got back his cell phone a while ago - he hasn't opened it, really, but after Fray gave it back to him the only thing he used it for was that thing with the texts and "Tanaka Taro." But. He flips it open to see Saki's picture in there. His grip tightens. They never even talked and she's gone.. completely gone. He begins to shake. The rage lasts a while and he tries to calm down enough to make a little post saying she's gone. and finally... two hours later, he thinks he is]

[Voice]

Everyone. Ah, I - I... [...No, he can't do it. He can't be calm]

Son of bitch! No! [And then he throws the cell phone clean across the room. It hits the wall with a loud sound - it's not broke, not quite, but the battery pops out of the back and the screen cracks. But who cares. Now, now? His voice is pained beyond anything people have heard in Luceti since about when Mikado was sent home, but this pain is different - Mikado's was cold fury, this one is erratic fury and sorrow and... well yeah]

Why now?! [Voice break] Why- dammit, [He grits his teeth] Dammit!

Who's gone?! [Even though he kind of has an idea, considering how Masaomi's acting...]

[Oh that's... Gold. dimly, he focuses on that, breathing hard still]

Gold.

Yeah?

So it's you.

Of course it's me. You think I'm gonna ignore my bro havin' a freakout session?

No, I guess not.

Now you gonna talk about what happened?

[ ... Hm]

Gold. Can I trust you?

[A change in tone... He's being serious. Not exactly common for Masaomi... But that just says how dire this situation is for him, right?]

After everything we've been through, you actually need to ask that? Of course you can trust me.

Ah.

For sure?

For real, dude. I don't betray my friends' trust in me.

Eh. Well then, I'll be doing that.

[A beat]

I'm the General of the Yellow Scarves gang.

And what's that supposed to mean to me?

It's serious, Gold.

I know, and what I don't know is what the Yellow Scarves are.

And what about the Blue Squares? Dollars?

Heard about the Dollars from some weird text I got.

[Wince.

...]

Meet me at the barracks.

[Geez, so serious, Masaomi.]

...Right, gotcha. See you in a bit.

See you in twenty.

Yeah.

[Well, if Masaomi sticks to that 20 minutes, he'll be waiting around a bit, as Gold rolls into the barracks a bit later than that, never particularly one for punctuality.]

[Which puts Shikamaru there first - or before Gold, at least. It's less due to punctuality, and more to the fact that tree/rooftop hopping gets you places faster when you're a ninja.]

[with Shikamaru first, Masaomi arrives second, at almost precisely twenty minutes. His eyes are slightly bloodshot. His hair is more of a mess than normal (and in wild need of a dye job) he doesn't have any bracelets or rings on. He has on only a coat over a dark T-shirt, no hoodie...

And a Yellow Scarf on his neck]

[And that makes Gold third, arriving several minutes later. His eyes are drawn first to the presence of Shikamaru, and then to the mess that is Masaomi.]

Geez, dude... I think after this chat, we need to have a little session on how to take care of yourself.

[Shikamaru nods to Gold, then turns back to Masaomi with a bit of a shrug. He was going to wait until they were done to say as much, but yeah. He kinda agrees.]

You been sick?

[There's a faint and stale scent in the air to go with his unkempt appearance, like illness. At least he hopes that's all it is.]
