[Guess who's back to his old grumpy Lombax self? You'd think he'd be a little more relieved than he looked right then and there, auburn eyes narrowed and ears folded back threateningly.]

I want a status report of one Nunnally Vi Britannia. Several attempts to contact her SFC have gone unanswered, and with what happened in this recent curse...

[He cuts off, glancing off to the side and muttering something foul in Lombaxian.]

And I don't want to hear she's 'vanished'. I want solid, viable proof.

She's not gone. Nobody is simply gone.

If her name does not show on the contact list, then she is no longer on this world, nor in this city. She has in all likelihood been sent back to the world she came from.

[Short and straight to the point. How do you like that report, Mr Lombax.]

[Tough titties, he doesn't. She had just been here! People don't simply disappear!]

She's not gone! I'll find her myself if I have to!

[The nice thing about being a Nobody is he doesn't have to care if you like it or not.]

Feel free then to waste your time looking all over the city and the island then. You won't find her. When the city sends people back home, they leave without warning. If her name is no longer listed, that means she is in fact gone from this place. There's nothing you can do to change that either.

[My, what terrible language you have today, Azimuth-san! If she didn't know any better, she would have sworn you were angered instead of simply being in denial.]

What is there to offer should the one you seek be absent?

[She smirks, the foggy screen obscuring her voice and face. What is conventional anonymous settings when this was much more entertaining?]

The greeting is only the beginning of an inevitable departure. Surely you must know this.

Who is this? Show yourself!

[Well, she could... or she could give a hint of some sort.]

"-in this place, it would seem as though time is even more of a fickle concept."

[The last words she'd sent to him over the network; she recalls that conversation well.]

Ones time could be extended indefinitely, or halted for what may seem to those who are mortal to be an eternity. The time for departure is always at hand. Whether it be by the decisions of this realm, or by other means...

_{[God Alister stop getting your grumpy over everything.]}

...People disappear here more than you think, Al.

[double_edged]

But she was just here.

That's the way things work around here. I've been here for almost two years and even I don't get it. I lost my best friend twice cuz of it and we shared an apartment, then a guy I was dating way back when disappeared the same way. I dunno why or how it happens, but... I dunno.

[hearsnoevil]

Oh no, she's gone~ She's very much gone, mister.

voice;

[double_edged]

And you will be too, if you don't shut up.

voice;

[hearsnoevil]

Ooh, scary. It's not very polite to threaten someone who knows her and her family though, is it?

[Video]

[blitz_acing]

She a friend of yours?

[Video]

[double_edged]

Yes, and I would be very pleased if I could have a confirmation on her condition!

[Video]

[blitz_acing]

What does she look like?

[Rin knows people just... leave sometimes. He did. Shura did. He came back though and there's always that chance...]

... want me to help look for her, Alister-san?

[Finally, someone who's not going to taunt him or tell him it's entirely hopeless, and of all people, it'd be the kid. He finally manages to calm down enough to keep his tone level, expression stern, but with a silent solemnity.]

We'll need as many as we can combing the city. Find any traces - notes left behind, signs of a struggle. We will find out what happened.

And we will save her.

[takesyoubytheheart]

... I'll help ya look, Alister.

[double_edged]

...we'll find her. She has to be here somewhere.

[dreamchasing]

Nunnally is missing?

[ eignkngkn holy ... she had only met her once, but she was such a sweet girl! if she's missing, Cheria wants to help! ]

[double_edged]

...not missing, simply lost. And I want as many people as possible combing the city until she's found.

[Voice]

[last_lombax]

...Sorry Alister. But the coral might have sent her home.

[Video]

[double_edged]

Might have! Might have! And what if she's not, huh?

[geass]

[He's tired. He's already been all over Vatheon and back to try to find his sister, but she's gone.

Who is this person to question it? This person, that he had never spoken to before...

When he speaks, he's a little wary but still calm.]

And who are you to inquire of the whereabouts of Nunnally vi Britannia?

[She was on the SFC every now and then, he knew that much. But even so, he still wanted to know who he was dealing with before getting into it.]

[double_edged]

General Alister Azimuth, Four-Bolt Magistrate of the Lombax Praetorian Guard, and Elder Councilman for the Center of Advanced Lombax Research.

And who, might I ask, are you?
