caughtinanetwork | ♠ 04

[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.]

[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.]

[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.

[Dammit, if only Lloyd's exsphere was fully evolved, he'd just be able to sense him! Irritated at the entire situation, Kratos snaps.]

Do you think I did not look for him? I spent over an hour searching before coming here. He was fine just this morning...! Lloyd is an ideal target for this killer. He trusts easily, he would gladly follow anyone that sought his help. By the time he realized...

[Kratos was making it difficult for him to keep his emotions suppressed, especially because he worried about going to far and causing the entire apartment complex to crumble. Trunks had warned him continuously about the powers within him and what they were capable of. That's why he was trying his hardest to keep them from exploding.]

...I contacted him privately during my network broadcast and he hasn't replied either. I thought he might have forgotten or was with someone else, but... We should keep trying, Kratos. We have to believe in Lloyd and that he's safe.

[Right. He has to stay calm. He's already tried this, but trying again can't hurt. Kratos calls his wings forth and closes his eyes, sensing for Lloyd's exsphere.]

...he is definitely within the city. Whether he's alive or not is difficult to discern, but there haven't been any changes in his exsphere.

[Unfortunately, Kratos can only sense a general radius. In a place as small as Vatheon, the ability is next to worthless. He can tell that Lloyd isn't on the island and that's about it.]

[He wants to help find Lloyd, but he doesn't even know where to find. If only he had his original body and not Trunks'. He could use his Zoom spell to travel through the city instead of attempting his flying fail.]

If I had my original body, I could cast a spell to zoom around the city and help you search for Lloyd better. In this body, I haven't even learned to fly that well.

Original - ?

[Oh. Oh, he sees that now. It's not Angelo, not exactly. This man is far more muscular, not to mention the hair color is a bit different. The voice too, now that he's paying attention.]

Stay here and contact me immediately if he comes home then, I suppose.

[It took you long enough to notice, Kratos. But Angelo sighs and sits back on the couch, trying not to break it because of his super strength from Trunks.]

Very well. Will you keep in contact with me too, since I'm sure you're going back out to find Lloyd.

Of course. I will get others to search as well.

[Alert the entire Defense Force that his son is missing? Yup, Kratos is going to go there. He nods to Angelo as he flies back out the way he came.]

...Be careful yourself.

[He kind of says that without really thinking. Maybe he is getting too attached for his own good.]
