[mrhanekoma]

Things seem to be pickin' up. A pity Josh isn't here to see it. I think I'll just watch for now.

[Yes, he doesn't care if you know he's gone, Naoya. Get out.]

That reminds me though. Has anyone seen a purple clad kid with headphones on?

[He coughs and there's a clatter of a spoon tapping against a mug. The sounds of him sipping from the mug are heard

Comments

... Maybe post their date Naoya can single Zira out then? 8Da

[stoleurniisan]

I take it you're looking for Phones, Catman? Hm... I haven't seen him lately. Nor his little girlfriend, the fashionista. Seems to be among the recently departed.

[ Look at Enjin being so innocent and helpful! ... Oh, wait, it's Enjin, so that's full of double meanings. ]

... yessssssssssssssssssssssss

[mrhanekoma]

[He gives a hum that sounds neither amused, concerned, or sad. Just... neutral. He's practiced this.]

Pity.

\o/

[stoleurniisan]

Well~ It's hard to say. A few people have come back or woke up from a rather odd sleep, so you never know~

[ It's almost like Enjin is being *HELPFUL* here. SHOCKING. ]

[mrhanekoma]

I've noticed that also.

[... He's curious now. Why are you saying this, Enjin? It's information he knows already, he's been here since March really. Hm, stupid stray.]

( VOICE 》 FILTERED TO MR H. )

[benevolist]

That sounds wonderful, my dear.

[ He pauses before sighing a little. ]

I think it has to wait until Crowley is safe, however.

( VOICE 》 FILTERED TO AZIRAPHALE. )

[mrhanekoma]

Of course. Wouldn't have it any other way.

...

Tell him, and this is for you too, if you ever er, need a place ta stay -- my warehouse is open. I've uhm, secured the place. It's safe, I promise.

[And then he clears his throat.]

Not saying that o' course you can't handle it. The mobs will quiet down, I think they're gettin' distracted elsewhere anyway.

( VOICE 》 FILTERED TO AZIRAPHALE. )

[benevolist]

[ There's a soft sound; Aziraphale has moved where he's sitting. Crowley is still a snake and is sleeping all over him and it's a little uncomfortable. ]

Thank you, Sanae. That's most appreciated, I assure you. If things should get any worse... We may have to take you up on your offer.

[ He laughs a little. ]

I don't think even both of us could take on the mob after the poor demon.

[mrhanekoma]

[He chuckles himself.] It'll get better. It's hard to not believe a cryin' little girl. Lots of people here have soft hearts.

Plus, united we stand, divided we fall, correct?

[protagonized]

...your friends from home, right?

[mrhanekoma]

[He smiles, though it's a bit sad, and gives a nod.]

Yeah, seems they've just up and left on me. Heh.

[protagonized]

[A pause.]

...Like the Hatter. People disappear a lot around here, huh?

[And it seems so random. Mr. H could disappear the very next day.

It's his greatest fear.]

[mrhanekoma]

Yep. Appear and disappear it seems. Interestin' thing it is, maybe they just get sick of us and throw us out? Replacin' us with someone new, fresh, and shiny?

[He's just musing now, but he doesn't want to scare the kid. So he gives him a soft smile.]

I don't have any plans on disappearin', Wonderland. I'll fight 'em off if I have to. Not gonna leave you all alone.

[darkequilibrium]

*eyes his own shirt. It's...black.*

Someone else with headphones?

[mrhanekoma]

Heh. Yeah. Don't worry, kid, you've got the wrong hair color and clothing.

[darkequilibrium]

Huh. What did the other guy look like, then?

[mrhanekoma]

Uhm... Ah, wait, I've got a picture!

[And the video feed turns on to show Mr. H sitting on a floor surrounded by a few sketchbooks and cups of coffee. He looks rather tired but his smile is still there. Flipping open a sketchbook and there's Neku! (Second sprite.)]

That's him.
