Sofia's gone.
Sasagawa's gone.
Arisato, if you're still here, ring in, please. I need to know who else has coincidentally gone missing since the rebellion.

[He'd ordinarily be more discreet, but there are certain unfamiliar wild notes hiding in his tone, harsh lines in his expression. Mark, in other words, is upset. He wants this overheard

[It isn't uncommon for mirrors to disappear when realsides do - that's just how it works. There are a few he'd definitely miss more than others, though.

Regardless, someone left him something and here's to hoping it isn't Anthrax.

He knocks on Meltzer's door.]

[Unmade mirrors aren't uncommon at all, no. But m!Mark's caught the discontentment bug, and the loss of important people has brought out the conspiracy buff in him.

The door opens, and the package in question is offered.]

Sofia left it.

[Wow, Mr. Meltzer, way to invite him inside like a gentleman. Smith accepts the box warily, remembering his last encounter with Sofia.

There had been fire.

He's half-expecting this thing to burst into flames.]

...what is it?

[action]

[carbon_knight]

I don't know. I didn't open it. I suppose you should be careful with it, Sofia being Sofia.

[If Smith is perceptive, he might feel the weight of the box shift slightly in his hands, as if something inside is moving.]

[After the rebellion and then watching those events subsequent to it, it hasn't been entirely pleasant for the mirror. But there really isn't much he could do about the other side, pre- or post-rebellion.]

I'm still here, Meltzer-san... I know that Sasagawa's been missing and is gone from here and over there, but I don't know if that has anything to do with the rebellion or not...

Are you all right though?

[video]

[carbon_knight]

Fine.

[Which is to say, terse. Maybe a little jumpy. Missing his splicey ladytype.]

Thank you for being so prompt.

[panatipata]

Of course... I didn't want you to have to worry about me either since... Yeah, I know what it's like to worry, and it's not all that fun.

[Minato was relieved that Mark was fine though. It didn't seem like any of them suffered any direct consequences from the rebellion.]

You're missing more people? That's... the doctor that ran the clinic on the other side, I think, that you're trying to account for?

[video]

[carbon_knight]

Yes. It's been more than a week.

[A chuckle, and she holds up her hands.] It wasn't me.

[carbon_knight]

[A wearily raised eyebrow.]

I didn't think it was. I haven't seen much of you around either.

[Video]

[wrath_or_fury]

I've been keeping to myself.

So, Mark Meltzer, how does it feel to live without fear of being unmade?

[Video]

[carbon_knight]

Yes, yes, you're very clever.

I don't believe I ever said I was afraid.
