Nineteenth Rebirth [Voice]

[death_begins]

[His hands are shaking too much to even try to use text. His voice is calm- but the sort of calm that's audibly forced, on the very brink of complete and utter hysteria.]

...is it possible for anyone to exist here after their PCD signal disappears?

[He pauses, tries to breathe, the sounds of a door opening and closing, footsteps against wooden flooring.]

I don't know- I don't know, I don't...


[Private to Alphonse, Break, Ukitake and Mayuri | Hackable]
Rain is with one of you, isn't he? He has to be with one of you... [Yuca trails off, his breath hitching. There's a strangled sound- something that may or may not be a sob- and Yuca curses in an ancient language, the feed suddenly cutting off.]



[Offline]
[It looks like a tornado hit. Rain's things were strewn about his corner of the house as Yuca searches frantically for what he prayed would be simply a broken PCD. Doors are opening and closing with enough force to make the floors rattle throughout the house as he frantically looks for a man that isn't there. Nothing. Nothing.

The front door slams and Yuca leaves, out to cover every single inch of Adstringendum he can to search for his old friend.]


[[ooc: Poor bb. Response to Rain's being sent back home. If you want to hack, that's fine- or if you want to run into him on the streets, that's wonderful too! Just please specify in the header or an ooc note if it's an offline log so I know what to put XD ]]

He's not with me.

[But he's not about to let Yuca flip out on his own. With a bang of the door he's out of the house and running, trying to track where Yuca's PCD signal is coming from.

... he'll search with him all night if he has to. Even though he knows he's gone.]

[Voice]

Is it possible?

[He's breathing hard, like he's been running.]

For someone to exist after their frequency shuts off.

[Voice]

[al_truism]

... I don't know. It's never happened.

...

Where are you?

[Voice]

[neverquitedies.livejournal.com]

In the church.

[The large doors slam behind him.]

Rain! Rain!- [More footsteps, as he runs down the aisles, searching fruitlessly.]

...Al, he's here somewhere. He wouldn't leave me-

[Voice]

[al_truism]

[ -- "Maybe he just went to the bathroom." "Al? Al, I..." "His sword is not in our room." -- ]

I'll be right there.

[Voice]

[neverquitedies.livejournal.com]

You can help me look.

Hurry.

[He's climbing the stairs, searching the second floor.]

[Offline]

[al_truism]

[The thud of the door several minutes later, and Al pushes back his hood, looking up at the second floor.]

Yuca?

[Voice]

[law-of-reason.livejournal.com]

If he was, no doubt he would've left you notice.

I don't know if a destroyed PCD would account for it, but... [Pause, muttered incantations in the background; when he returns, he sounds more annoyed]

Tracking kidou isn't finding anything. I knew I should have insisted on studying him before finishing with you...

[Voice]

[neverquitedies.livejournal.com]

Is tracking kidou truly accurate? What if someone was hiding him and destroyed his PCD? Is it possible to mask his presence from you?

[He sounds more panicky than he ever has in front of Kurotsuchi.]

[Voice]

[law-of-reason.livejournal.com]

[A little surprised at Yuca's state - it's not like anyone's attachments register as much to him - but ignores it.]

If he somehow gained the ability to hide himself, it's possible. Rather unlikely, though.

[Voice]

[neverquitedies.livejournal.com]

There's still a chance.

Thank you for your help. If I can't find him- [Oh god, oh god, oh god-] -you drew blood from him, right? If he... if he left, would the samples still be there?

[Voice]

[law-of-reason.livejournal.com]

I'm not certain, actually. I'll look.

[Conversationally] I removed a spirit-like creature from someone once, and it disappeared when its original host vanished, but I don't know if blood has the same tie to its owner... [Small clinks of glass in the background] It had better still be here, I wasn't finished with it... Though you know how to create more, don't you? So all isn't lost if it's gone.

[Voice]

[neverquitedies.livejournal.com]

[Funnily enough, it's actually calming him down a little, listening to Mayuri's clinical tone. Yuca takes a deep breath and slides against a wall until he's sitting against it, shivering in the slight breeze.]

What were you planning on doing with it?[Not accusatory, not even mildly worried- he's looking for a distraction, to put off his inevitable realization that Rain was, indeed, gone.]

[[ooc: wtf lj, messing up my comments]]

[Voice//Private//Hackable]

[haori]

...He isn't with me.

It...seems to be that when the PCD signal disappears, that person has gone back to their world.

I'm sorry.

[Voice//Private//Hackable]

[neverquitedies.livejournal.com]

It could be destroyed. Someone could have- taken him, maybe.

[He's breathing too quickly- he might hyperventilate if he keeps this up.]

Rain wouldn't leave me. Did he say anything to you? Have you seen him at all in the last two days?

[Voice//Private//Hackable] I'm assuming they haven't met...unless I forgot something, rofl

[haori]

[Ukitake hears the other man's breathing and knows he has to calm him down.]

Please, let's think this through rationally. Where are you?

[Voice//Private//Hackable] They haven't <3 Rain just told him about Ukitake when he went to visit

[neverquitedies.livejournal.com]

I'm- I'm on the streets. I'm looking for him.

[Voice//Private//Hackable] Oh good, my memory isn't gone yet

[haori]

Coordinates?

[Voice//Private//Hackable]

[neverquitedies.livejournal.com]

[x,y]

But I'm moving fast. I'm trying to remember his favorite places, but we never- talked about things like that.

[vile-queen.livejournal.com]

I have not seen it. And I have spent some time examining PCDs and their connections to disappearances.

[neverquitedies.livejournal.com]

What if it was broken?

[vile-queen.livejournal.com]

That is a possibility.

[neverquitedies.livejournal.com]

Well, then... how easily are they broken?

[vile-queen.livejournal.com]

It takes effort. They are not often broken.

[neverquitedies.livejournal.com]

Alright. Thank you for your information.
