Professor Stein has departed the city.

It's a relief, however, that those bubbles have finally disappeared. If the city is going to act so childish, it could at least make sure to douse people evenly with the paint.

[ private to Crona; ]

Do you have any interest in continuing your studies from Shibusen while you were here?

[...Okay Lelouch can't help but snicker. A little.]

I'd expect most were ecstatic that they weren't coated evenly with the paint.

[voice]

[grimreaping]

That's two suits ruined in a week. Between paint and bullet holes, I'm dreading what will happen if the city ever gets in a bad mood.

[voice]

[grand_theatrics]

Bullet holes?

[voice]

[grimreaping]

[ whoops. ]

Ah...

[ not his most eloquent recovery ]

Police Force

[saiyajinsoul]

We haven't found one yet - or I haven't, anyway. Why do you ask?

[ Police Force ]

[grimreaping]

Because I'm thinking it may be needed before long. A child was kidnapped, if anyone was still under the assumption that the Locals would intervene against all types of violence, that's now been disproved.

[ Police Force ]

[saiyajinsoul]

What? What happened? How?

Didn't the Locals show up at all?

[ Police Force ]

[grimreaping]

Sora, the very small one, was taken by another person from his world. He's been recovered, however... the perpetrator remains in the city.

[ Stein is--

he's gone? just...like Black*Star, huh. but...considering the last few times they'd talked, Crona can't help but be unsure of how to feel about this. after all, Stein probably knew-- but no, he shouldn't think that way about his teacher, especially Stein. guilt is what he feels, for sure, however. ]

I...hadn't thought about it. D-do you mean like, homework? Or...the kind Professor Stein had us do t-together?

voice;

[grimreaping]

A bit of both, I suppose. I thought it might be helpful for when we all get back to Shibusen, that you won't be as far behind on the curriculum.

voice;

[sablemeister]

Oh...

[ to be fair, he's almost missed the mundane quality to the classes at Shibusen. the academic stuff, especially. it's a little peaceful, even if it makes him nervous (Crona doesn't think he's very good at it, of course).

...and, he has wanted to get stronger. to be able to control himself better, especially if...he ends up going back to Shibusen eventually. ]

I, I would l-like that, Kid...! W-who would teach us, t-though?

[ not that he can't see Kid doing the teaching himself, considering his seemingly vast intellect. ]

voice;

[grimreaping]

Well... I could.

[voice]

[demonicbookworm]

It really is a relief that the bubbles are gone.

[He was hiding in his room whole this time to avoid them!]

[voice]

[grimreaping]

I suppose it could have been worse.

[ except for the asymmetry part ]

Did you manage to avoid them, Ruca?

[voice]

[demonicbookworm]

You're right.

[still doesn't understand why symmetry is so important.]

Well, yes. I... stayed in my room most of that time.

[voice]

[grimreaping]

That might've been the surest course, yes.

[Voice/Police Filter]

[justabignobody]

There has never been need for one until now. But if this is about Vanitas then you might as well forget that idea.

[Voice/Police Filter]

[grimreaping]

And why is that?

[Voice/Police Filter]

[justabignobody]

His ability to create Corridors aside, he has access to a weapon called the Keyblade, which... basically works as ultimate universal key. There is nothing a Keyblade can't unlock.

[Voice/Police Filter]

[grimreaping]

Then, as someone from his world, what would you suggest as the best course of action?
