the barn dance (4-video)

[takesyoubytheheart]

[The Video shakes as he speaks - that's because he's running as he's speaking, not wanting to waste a second of searching.]

Has anyone seen Minnie? She wasn't with me when I woke up this mornin'! It ain't like her ta do that!

[Hopping from rooftops, swinging from coral, invading every door... There's one possible option about why she's gone, but he's clearly in a bit of denial about it.]

If anyone sees a mouse with a crown in a pretty dress, with big ears and a thin tail, lemme know! What's she thinkin', goin' out without tellin' me... she's got no right ta make me worry!

Haven't seen her either, but I'll keep an eye out for her.

Are you alright, your majesty?

[takesyoubytheheart]

I'm fine! I'm just fine! She's the one we gotta worry about. There's monsters and bad guys out there, and she thinks she can just wander off without sayin' a word!

[he's not fine at all.]

...Mickey, calm down.

[Yes, he is first-naming you and failing at his Yen Sid impersonation, sob. He gets that you're scared for her, but mouse-bro.]

You said that it isn't like her, right? [Time to add another possibility, and the first one that comes to mind in this world:] Maybe this world's playing tricks again like it did with me once or twice.

[Fortunately, the name sticks. He flinches momentarily, but at least he's slowing down his run.]

... That might be even worse. Has there ever been a trick with disappearin' people?

[... you mean the one we JUST HAD, mick?]

[limitless_land]

[He shakes his head. Oh, Mickey...]

No, not with just a few or one like this. [You mean like THAT ONE and the nightmare fuel, Riku?] But, there are times where we go home for a few days in Vatheon-time before the world drags us back again.

[Doesn't mean he won't still look, or that he'll keep the King from doing so, either.]

[takesyoubytheheart]

... So she might be home...

[And slowing down even further. He... likes and both doesn't like that possibility.]

... W-well... That'd be fer the best, wouldn't it.

video;

[limitless_land]

I'll still help you look.

[It's weird, isn't it... both hoping and wanting them back. He sighs, not wanting to say he can't sense her light nearby.]

We'll find out in a few days, if we can't find her.

[takesyoubytheheart]

[If you couldn't, what makes you think he could? The little king has just been in a heap of not-wanting-to-know.]

A few days... Then I won't stop until I'm absolutely sure of it.

[goodbye eating, sleeping, etc.]

[coolerthansora]

[Isn't this overreacting a little?]

Couldn't she've just- stepped out for once?

[Video]

[takesyoubytheheart]

[She's the wife. I'm totally allowed to overreact.]

She wouldn't without tellin' me!

[Video]

[coolerthansora]

[Roxas doesn't understand these things.]

Maybe she forgot?

[Video]

[takesyoubytheheart]

[someone needs to get laid. Someday, boy, someday.]

That'd be a first. She's the one always scoldin' me when I forget.

[Video]

[coolerthansora]

[Totes. I mean. Let's introduce him to dating first.]

Maybe this time you can scold her.

I- will keep an eye out, though.

[Video]

[takesyoubytheheart]

[One for you, bro, that does manage to get a smile out of him, and thus calm him down a little.]

I think that'd be the first time I get ta lecture her.

[Video]

[coolerthansora]

Well, that doesn't seem fair.

[Video]

[takesyoubytheheart]

She never does anything that needs a lecture! She never gets in trouble.

[Video]

[coolerthansora]

Everyone gets in trouble sometimes.

[Video]

[takesyoubytheheart]

... Well, others put her into trouble. But she never gets into trouble on her own.

video;

[limitless_land]

...Don't forget to take care of yourself too, alright?

[Mickey, you've not got him worried. :| Why did not one teach him a Sleep spell, dammit.]

video;

[takesyoubytheheart]

[for this reason exactly.]

Yeah, yeah, I will. But I gotta give her my all.

[sorcery_fledgling]

Who is Minnie? [He's never mentioned Minnie to Rinoa before, so she doesn't know. However...] I'll keep an eye out for her, though.

[Video]

[double_edged]

...another one lost.

[Video]

[takesyoubytheheart]

We don't know that yet! Not every place has been searched!

[limitless_land]

[...NOMURA AND WALT DAMMIT.]

Your Majesty. [He stares at the mouse on the feed. There's the worry in his eyes, coupled with a small hint of amused exasperation. Not like he can talk though, with how far he was willing to go for his friends and now his boyfriend, too.]

I'll look around at night, alright? Just... don't forget to rest, too.

[takesyoubytheheart]

She's my wife...
