[Action A]
[Eighteen days. He's been missing for eighteen days - not that he's been able to keep track, honestly. The best he can figure, it's been "about two weeks." About two weeks since they lost and were kidnapped. Some good the modification of the droids did, huh? He recognizes where he's been dropped off, though. He's on the beach.

The cold, snowy, beach.

Groaning, and with a shivering pikachu in his arms, the boy starts his long march to the teleporters, and after that he'll be making a long trek back up to CH1. He's in a torn coat, pants, and shirt and generally looking bruised and tired. No matter how he and Linda get to the apartment, that's their intended destination. He's used to bleeding, and neither him nor his girl seem to be bleeding enough that they need medical attention before they need to just - mercifully, finally - get some decent sleep. He can ask Shikamaru if Katara's back to normal, to know if he should call his Doctor or not.

Either way, they'll sleep. They'll sleep several hours, before he wakes up and then decides to get his things in order.]

[Action B]
[After he's recovered more, maybe within the next day or two, he has a greater understanding of what's happened. He remembers them losing, and he remembers fragments of what happened to him at their base. There was a lot of electricity involved, and he tells himself that's why Linda doesn't seem to be able to zap anything effectively at the moment. She's still able to run coils around her, but... No, no.

It's been a tense while, and they're almost at Valentines. In fact, looking back in the journal, that blue guy even suggested something like a warning. So maybe he'll just hit the town. No training for him, because even if he's mostly better (he thinks) he's not sure what's happened to him exactly, or to his mouse. That's why he, with Linda on his shoulder, are sort of walking in the snow aimlessly. Both have scarves he got as various gifts on their necks and he hits a lot of haunts: The Rec Center to play some video games, the Item Shop to see if there's Valentines things, the Library just because, the Welcome Center just... because.

He's not really looking for people, but he's not really looking to avoid people. Honestly, he still feels lonely though. If he's honest with himself, the sensation is similar to - but not the same as - that time after he left the Scarves and before Mikado made it to Tokyo.

And as the day goes on, more and more strange things keep happening. He shocks himself on doors from static electricity, he shorts out the game in the middle of getting a high school (okay, no, but a man can dream), other... things. All based in electricity.]

[Masaomi's Kidnap effect is that his body is electrically charged like he's some sort of electric-based superperson-thing. The level fluctuates and is related to his recovery and skin contact. He can't really control it either. If you see him after the realization he'll be wearing various different types of gloves as he tests out what works and what doesn't. Run into him anywhere around town]

( self indulgent stage setting )

[Action // Forward Dated to Tuesday (17th)]

[And sometime about midday tomorrow, Masaomi is in the square It might be a bit dubious to recognize him even if you know him because his hair is dark brown now instead of the blonde people might have been used to (that was dyed okay) but he's back to being a peppy version of himself. Namely, right now, he's leaping up onto the fountain, climbing up onto it and then shouting for the plaza to hear-]

Heeellllooo~ Luceti~!! Boys and girls, particularly the ladies- aaah! Yes, particularly those, but guys too, who wants to go to the hot spring?! It's cool and it's stressful now and I'm sure some of you want to go, right? [He puts a hand on his ear as if expecting some cheers and shouts, even if none come he snaps his fingers and somewhat less loud, assuming he has some people's attention by now] Of course!

I promise not to peek, I'm just not that kind of guy! But we should make a party of it, right?! Right?! Ah... actually...

[He drops now, to the edge of the fountain and then skillfully leaping onto the ground itself, adopting a thoughtful pose. A very thoughtful one, stroking his chin] I do say ladies, and I mean that! Buuuu~t before I break any more hearts, I guess this is the time to mention that I, Masaomi Kida [And he puts a hand on his heart, and puts on a woeful expression] have a secret crush!! Try not to die of shock, I promise to still be sweet to you!!

[And then he bursts out laughing. Yes, he's forcing himself, but he's so back.]

( Information beforehand )

[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!

[So he's stuck in House 15. Away from Saki, which is all at once disheartening and something he's thankful for... and something he's unsure about, given the circumstances. He's not one to ask for advice on things like this at all, but left alone to just his thoughts, well. That's never gotten him anywhere before. Maybe just this one, he'll try a different trick]

[Wow that's a long filter. Excluding his friends.... Anyway. He gets himself some privacy in his old room before making this vocal]

So~ Luceti. ...Who wants to tell me about love and dating and what they think it means. Ah, trust too, maybe? Yeah, trust seems to be a factor to consider given the circumstances.

[...Flat tone. Jovial. Oh well.] Not like there's much more to do right now.

[Open Voice]

Now! As some of you know, my best bud is named Mikado right, right? Well you might not know that this name actually is referring to an emperor! That's right folks, you heard it here first, Mikado Ryugamine is a quasi-royalty, with mannerisms to boot.

So who wants to go on a Christmas date with the lucky guy?

[A beat]

Aaaaand paint me curious! Who's from Tokyo?

[Action]

[...Well. Masaomi has things to do today. None of which is talking with Hitagi because he knows he might be liable to be killed there and what with the draft he has other concerns. But! He will be cornering his roomie Freyjadour to talk to him sometime this morning as well he won't object to talking to Mikado (particularly in wake of his "warning" to Shuri a day or two ago) but he won't want to discuss the draft.

Aside from that, most of the day he'll spend trolling around the town. Possibly hitting on girls, possibly seeing people before he goes off to fight, possibly committing to a sense of escapism. You can see him almost anywhere in the range of the square at different times all day.

Later in the day, though, he flips open the journal]

[Voice]

Gold... do you think we can talk~? Oh! And Terra-chan! Cheyenne-chan! [...Pause, consider He can just visit Rise whenever she's only a few floors below, so that's cool. But someone else stands out. He's not sure if she... need it but:] Nu-chan too... maybe? [He sounds much less sure there.

But that's just draft business, besides that, he has more important matters to consider!]

So, Valentines turned out to be an experiment... it was pretty bad, but! Does anyone have any fun memories they got then?! After all, it is a love-love holiday of affection, and there might well be some sinful sorts here to enjoy the forbidden fruits offer to us. [He can hear the eyebrow raise there] Oh! Please tell me if you did, my heart cannot take waiting for the stories!!

[...Well, actually.]

Selphie-chan? Are you around?

[Video (action for flatmates)]

[This recording is brought to you by Kida Industries. It starts out with him in his apartment. Fully dressed, hoodie over his wings per usual. He looks excited, and is standing on top of a couch looking down at the "camera" of the book. He inhales and... puts a hand on his heart to start!]

As many of you know, the holiday of love, the time that lights a fire in the bellies of all young men is approaching! Only days away, in fact! Yes, of course I, Masaomi Kida, the idol of your affections and the man of men, am talking about the one, the only, the undeniably lovely-!

[And he spreads his arms wide]

Valentines Day!! Aaaah~ Can't you feel it?! The feeling of ecstasy as we savor the aroma of the chocolate in the works as we speak-! Everywhere I go [Okay no really, but he doesn't let up, and here he jumps off the couch, leaning his face in on the book] I can smell the sweet smell of girls everywhere baking their love into these tokens of appreciation, these bars of solid love! Remember, guys, you need to be thankful!! Every bit of chocolate you get symbolizes the deep feelings of a girl, and you need to have you heart open!!

[He pulls back now, fanning himself with one hand while pointing his finger at the journal with the other]

Bearing that in mind, ladies, as I'm sure many of you lovely girls are interested in showing your affections for me, I've decided to make myself more open to receive your chocolate... and it doesn't even need to be love chocolate! You can pretend it's obligatory chocolate if that is easier on your hearts~ Aaaah, careful, careful!! Don't fall for me too hard, I'm a sinful man, you know~!

That's way all day on Valentines, I'll be waiting to receive your chocolate outside of the Rec Center! [...Possibly including skipping school.

... Oh, right]

Over and out, this is Kida Radio!

...Rise-chan!! I feel so lonely without us having gone on our date~ yet! [He's even putting on puppy eyes!!]
