[It's already mid-afternoon and Angelo, who already gotten food from one of the local stores right near the apartment to get food, decides to make a network call. Since he is a little bit worried for his roommate, thus makes a network broadcast. And while the the video on the SFC may be showing Trunks, it is in fact Angelo.]



Good afternoon everyone, there's someone in particular I'm attempting to find and wondering if anyone has seen him. His name is Lloyd Irving and he's my roommate. If you need a description of him... He has spiked brown hair, wears red, and has this cheerful grin on his face all the time. He told me before he left the apartment this morning that he was getting groceries for us to make breakfast then lunch. But it's both past those times and I'm growing a little concerned since he hasn't come back because he never misses them. If anyone has heard from him or seen him, please do let me know. My name's Angelo for those who don't really know me too well.

[ voice | private to Lloyd ]

If you're ignoring me or not coming back because you're angry with me or something, tell me. But if you've decided to stop at someone's house or forgot about getting our groceries, I want to know as well. I expect to hear a reply from you very soon.

[ooc: All replies will be from charmingsaiyan as usual.]

[An hour later, after combing the city and the island, Kratos pushes his way into the apartment. His usual calm is absent. There's a serial killer about, and Lloyd goes missing?

Yeah, he's panicking a little.]

Angelo. Has he come back yet?

[action]

[charmingsaiyan]

[Instead of getting Angelo, Kratos will be getting Trunks who might sound like Angelo in terms of how he speaks.]

Kratos? No, he hasn't. I've been hearing things about a serial killer over the network for a few days, you don't think...? No, I can't doubt Lloyd. He's better than that and stronger than letting some killer get him.

[action]

[strength_of_tomorrow]

[Judging from the expression on Kratos's face, that is exactly what he thinks. All the color drains away when Angelo says he hasn't come back yet.]

...he's nowhere. I searched everywhere but here... but his name is still on the residency list, so he hasn't left Vatheon...

[He'd been concerned that this person might target Lloyd. Hubert didn't fit the bill, but the other two - they were trusting to the extreme. Lloyd would be a perfect target. Someone would just have to claim that they needed help and he would follow.]

[action]

[charmingsaiyan]

[Angelo might be getting a little bit emotional, primarily due to being in Trunks' body. What he feels might be a bit of anger, though he's trying to calm it down.]

He can't be dead, Kratos. I refuse to believe it, he has to be out there somewhere.

[ladybutt]

What do you mean Lloyd's missing?

[Normally this isn't something to get too worked up over; Lloyd does tend to get bored with mundane things like shopping and cooking and whatnot, but with a serial killer on the loose? Zelos' hackles are up immediately.]

[video]

[charmingsaiyan]

He hasn't come back to the apartment yet from shopping for groceries.

[He can see and hear Duke, but he has a feeling that's not Duke.]

[video]

[ladybutt]

What makes you think he's missing instead of just distracted or something?

[Sorry Angelo, Zelos probably isn't going to think to tell you who he actually is without prompting.]

[video]

[charmingsaiyan]

That's what I've been thinking, but it's been some time now.

[Oh, so Angelo's been affected by the curse? With all the people being murdered lately, this announcement is especially worrying...]

Where is your apartment? We'll retrace his steps.

[He can track with his demon, to a certain extent.]

voice

[charmingsaiyan]

[Oh it's Serph. Well he supposes that more people he knew were bound to find out.]

Yutopil Apartments, Lloyd and I live on floor one in room six.

voice -> action?

[bufudine]

I'll be there.

[It really doesn't take Serph long to get there, either.]

[charmingsaiyan]

[He opens the door for Serph.]

Come in, Serph.

[double_edged]

--this is beginning to spiral out of control.

[Video]

[charmingsaiyan]

[Huh, who is this little kid?]

Are you referring to my roommate missing or the word about a serial killer going after people?

[Video]

[double_edged]

The two may be connected, I'm afraid. That, or he's been placed in the body of another during this curse.

I can only hope it's simply the latter.

[Video]

[charmingsaiyan]

The last I saw him, he was in his own body. Unless the curse took hold of him later than some of us.

I also refuse to believe Lloyd was kidnapped by some lunatic.

[Not here]

[redcladidealist]

[Unfortunately, there won't be a response from Lloyd.

He's a little tied up right now.]

[action, probably a bit later than the other threads?]

[linefacepaladin]

[For someone who eats so much, Trunks still really can't cook. But he can call for delivery, and can also order enough for a Saiyan appetite.

He can also sense energy, but it's harder in Angelo's body--like all his other senses, his ki sense is dulled. He can tell that Lloyd's energy is still present in Vatheon, just not where, and not how strong.]

Hey. I've got takeout in the kitchen.

[Honestly he's surprised your temporary stomach isn't growling loud enough to shake the walls right now. He knows.]

[action, that's fine <3]

[charmingsaiyan]

[He's too much of a nervous wreck right now to be hungry, Trunks. He's pacing back and forth in the living room now, trying to keep himself from letting the saiyan powers go out of control. However Trunks might see Angelo fluctuating from time to time between normal to almost turning super saiyan.]

People keep assuming he's dead, Trunks. I can't believe that, he can't be dead.

[action]

[linefacepaladin]

He's not. I can sense energy, remember? I can do it better under normal circumstances, but right now I can tell you that much. I can still sense his ki, but I can't pinpoint it.

[He sounds faintly frustrated by that.]

I know what you're feeling right now, but you need to rein it in. We'll find him.

[action]

[charmingsaiyan]

[His head snaps towards Trunks' direction and finally he can't hold it back anymore... He's way too angry.]

How can you expect me to be calm right now?! My roommate and friend, he's out there somewhere and people keep assuming some lunatic kidnapper has him with every intention of possibly kill him! While all you want me to do is be calm and eat food while he might be out there suffering somewhere?! [Thankfully only his eyes are changing and his hair is spiked, he's not going full super saiyan yet.]

[video]

[demonkingisnowdiamonds]

...Lloyd is missing?

[Though the face is that of Ghirahim, the concern in his expression is a pretty good indicator that someone else is occupying the demon sword at the moment.]

[video]

[charmingsaiyan]

Yes, he is. He hasn't come back to the apartment.

[Even Angelo can tell that someone else is affected by the curse, possibly a friend of Lloyd's judging from the concern.]

[video]

[demonkingisnowdiamonds]

[That just concerns Dhaos even more.]

...This is very unlike Lloyd. And with the murderer on the loose...

[He stops, unable to voice the thought. No, that couldn't be it.]

[video]

[charmingsaiyan]

...Everyone continues to assume that he's either kidnapped or dead. I...can't believe that. He has to be all right, Lloyd is stronger than that.
