38 - mirror, mirror... (backdated to day 1)

[the increasing number of announcements of missing people finally prompts her to go check on people. And well, she didn't expect to get a result so soon.

Knocking on Zuko's door didn't get a response. The doorknob yielded easily enough and she takes a peek inside. All his stuff is here, but no Zuko.

Flipping open her journal.]

Has anybody seen Zuko? His nameplate's messed up too.

[grimacing, she sets off to check on other doors, journal in hand and dog at her side.]

There's next to no chance that all these people are just having a club meeting in some obscure corner of the castle somewhere, right?

[she snorts, trying to imagine Zuko in a school club. It would have to be something violent, probably.]

[deterrence]

Would be a pretty big club. Perhaps one that caters to some strange interests. [demeaning making light of the situation is easier than flipping out at how Wesley's compiled list of names keeps getting longer :\]

[sexyhitchhiker]

[oh good. At least you're still here.]

A fanclub for weird backwards fonts, maybe. Now that would be wonderfully anticlimatic.

[deterrence]

[same, bb, same.]

They'll be back once they get over everyone finding out their embarrassing secret, then.

[sexyhitchhiker]

Still, that's got to be the most boring embarrassing secret ever.

[shit] I just jinxed myself, didn't I.

[deterrence]

You probably should start looking into fixing that tendency.

[as if it has any chance of happening...]

[sexyhitchhiker]

Thanks. That's real helpful.

It's not my fault. [mostly. Sorta.]

[deterrence]

Well, it's certainly not mine, either. [OR IS IT.

(truth be told, she doesn't mind all the ensuing lulz -- quite the opposite -- and. the trait is kinda endearing.)

wait, what were they talking about again?] Are you searching the castle?

[sexyhitchhiker]

It's more like a walk than a search, but I guess I just want to make sure.

[deterrence]

Might as well. Last I saw, no one who's gone missing has responded over the journal, we should assume theirs are not accessible for whatever reason.

[sexyhitchhiker]

None of them? [grimace] So much for hoping they'll just show up later.

[deterrence]

It's still too soon to tell. [thinking of Momoka :I for all they know, the missing people haven't realized their journals are on them...]

[sexyhitchhiker]

[whatever, their journals didn't work in the beginning]

Great. [huffs] Try not to go missing on me, okay?

[she's one to talk]

[deterrence]

[that occurred to her quickly enough, so there might be a noise sounding suspiciously like the vocal equivalent of "djslkhfa" mixed with a snicker]

No worries, I plan on maintaining my record.

[bolder]

Nope. Never seen him.

[sexyhitchhiker]

[oh. It's you.]

Hilarious. You know what I meant.
