[...Well, it didn't take long for someone to figure out just what was going on. After the water for the ramen broth started smelling funny, he kinda figured something was up. Doing a few more tests elsewhere; the restroom, at home, random public place... only confirmed it. Something was up with the water

Hey, Minato!

Re: action;

[ineuphony]

Minato? -- You're amaaazing...

Re: action;

[apathetic_seal]

Ah... thanks, I guess.

You want some water in the meantime? Or some coffee?

Re: action;

[ineuphony]

I dunno...

[starting to feel kinda icky.]

Re: action;

[apathetic_seal]

...Maybe you should just go lie down. I've got some beds in the basement.

Re: action;

[ineuphony]

Minato...? -- I don't think I can do this anymore.

Re: action;

[apathetic_seal]

...Do what?

Re: action;

[ineuphony]

This! This whole... thing! People coming and going... [she trails off for a moment.] -- I can't remember the last time I was actually really happy.

[He decides to take a seat next to Maka. While he doesn't expect the conversation to go anywhere meaningful, he might as well. Not like there was much else to do.]

Yeah. I know. I can't stand it, either. Nothing we can really do about it, though... Gotta find refuge where and how we can.

It's not fair...

[sniffs.]

Re: action;

[apathetic_seal]

It's how life is. Never fair. You just have to take what you can get.

...Do you need a hug?

Re: action;

[ineuphony]

I don't know...

[she leans on him, however.]

Re: action;

[apathetic_seal]

Who knows? Maybe one day it'll all stop, and we can live how we want.

Re: action;

[ineuphony]

I just want to stay in my room and not come out.

Re: action;

[apathetic_seal]

Not sure that's the best idea...

Something I've noticed about a lot of people who get taken. You don't see them for a while beforehand. They're usually less than social. Not sure if it has anything to do with wormholes, but it seems that way.

And I'd really rather you not leave. At least not now. What if you do and the friend you were looking for shows up right after? What am I supposed to hell him?

Re: action;

[ineuphony]

T'ch. Somehow, I think that's very unlikely to happen.
