[Trying to see if "he" can reach out to snag this rat for freedom, but when the drippy happens, all it does going forward is splat limply through the bars onto the ground...]

...Ehhh?

[This is not a great start to lust week considering... The drippy get slurped back up inside.]

[ilulu]

Uh oh!

[DON'T JUST SAY UH OH.]

You feelin' alright, dear?

[urakih]

[Damn, he wasn't supposed to playdoh out in front of other people, was he? It's fine, it's fine.]

...Yeah, guess so. How d'we get out...?

[ilulu]

[CAN SHE HELP SCOOP HIM BACK UP AND TRY TO PAT HIM TOGETHER. LIKE A SNOWMAN.]

Dunno!

[urakih]

[Yes. Wait, I made it slurp back up. But still yes.]

Have you seen Yoshiki...?

[ilulu]

Mm, sorry, sweetheart, but I've been all by my lonesome until just now. [PATS HIS HEAD but gently.] I can help ya keep an eye out for him, though--I'm looking for someone too. Can you tell me about him?

[urakih]

[Nooooooo. The spirits sink when there is no Yoshiki. They're separated... Yoshiki is lost... What if he gets hurt? What if something tries to get him? What if he isn't there to protect...?]

You are...? Who? [Oh, describe Yoshiki!] He's got a gloomy look! Bangs like this. [Hangs fingers in his face over his eyes, but he finds it amusing.] And five moles. Here, here, here, and two here.

[Pointing under the eye, on the cheek, by the lips, and on the neck.]

[ilulu]

[Gently pets his hair... reassuring...]

Mmm... it's kinda hard to explain, but let's just say she looks a lot like a mini-me! That's who I'm here for. But she'd definitely want me to help ya, so no worries, yeah? I'll stick with ya until we find your Yoshiki.

[urakih]

[He just got double head pats, and that is the greatest thing. Well, one was a ruffle, but whatever. Alien dog.]

A mini you...? Wow. [HE WANTS A MINI ME? (There does NOT need to be a mini him.)] I'll watch out for her then an' tell ya if I see her.

[voring]

[watches pixi tag ffa and breaks free from containment too]

Woah. [WATCHING THIS HAPPEN.] Your soup. [DON'T JUST CALL IT HIS SOUP.]

[urakih]

[DON'T JUST SAY HIS SOUP.]

Don't look...

[Turns a bit a way. THE SOUP IS GONE ALREADY. But don't look, he's shy, and shouldn't misbehave in public.]

Yoshiki isn't here...

[Sad, gay feelings.]

[voring]

[HE JUST KEEPS LOOKING. Looking at this soup lad with his sad gay feelings somewhat questioningly.]

Who's Yoshiki?

[urakih]

[OPENS HIS MOUTH............. Pauses for a long moment. How does he answer this........ His very special favorite person.]

My friend...

[voring]

[HIS FRIEND... It's okay you stupid fruit, Obikawa is also looking for his friend, so he understands this.]

I'm missing one, too! What the hell. Maybe Yoshiki and Tokinaga are in the same place?

[urakih]

[His eyes widen. YOU ARE A FRUIT, TOO!!! They're the same........ Well, it's fine, he already knew Obikawa was the best for being like him. He can feel the freak vibes...]

Yeah... Yeah! What if they're in trouble, and I ain't there to protect him? I wasn't supposed to leave 'im alone.

[voring]

[SAME FRUIT. SAME FREAK. They're all so horrible and then there's sweet Tobari. He just SIGHS.]

Friends are really fragile, huh... We gotta get back out there so we can keep looking, then. Think you can be soup again?

[urakih]

[NOT THIS FUCKING ICON.]

M'not supposed to... [Hesitant. HESITANT TO THE WRONG FREAK.] Yoshiki said not to hurt anybody...

But sometime... I can't help it... You know what I mean, right?

[tindery]

[ internally: uh oh.

can he place a hand on hikaru's shoulder to steady him? ]

You good?

[ CLEARLY NOT ]

[urakih]

[It's fine, it's fine, it's fine. HIS SOUP. The hand makes him sober immediately up. His eyes lose the distant hazy horror and refocus. The pupils are still kinda red.]

A-okay. [This Pretend haha.] Can't reach outside still...

[tindery]

[ ok kiddo.... ]

... we can work on it. Maybe we can lure the rat over. [ they won't do this for multiple days ]

What's your name?

[urakih]

[Just a baby. For sure.]

With cheese? [Do rats like cheese.] Hikaru. Have you seen Yoshiki?

[tindery]

I don't have cheese on me, but maybe if the others do?

[ do any of them have cheese, ]

I haven't met a Yoshiki but what do they look like?

[urakih]

That guy could eat 'im.

[Obikawa, he means.]

He's my friend. His bangs hang all in his eyes, makes 'im look gloomy. Black hair. He's a year older 'n me.

He's got a mole right here. [Points under his right eye.] An' here. [Points on his left cheek.] An' here. [Points by his left bottom lip.] An' his neck. Five of 'em.

[tindery]

[ nods.... tobari with two visible moles under his own eye just taking notes ]

I'll keep an eye out and try to keep him from getting eaten.

Did you arrive with him? Or are you here to find him?

[urakih]

[(me voice as i zoom in on the icon) ENHANCE

ALL THESE HANDSOME MOLED MEN OUT HERE.]

Thanks. [Lookin' gay and emo is the vibes here.] ...I was by myself. M'lookin' for him.
