[The first thing Masaomi shares is a picture. It's dark as always, but for once, that doesn't affect visibility. Half of the picture is filled with Masaomi's anxiously grinning face. He's pointing over his shoulder where a parade of bright colors and surreal costumes is marching past the school.]

Nobody told me Beacon had a circus! This shit's insane!




[Aaaand that's it. That's all anyone gets.

Masaomi will not respond to this post. He is officially a dead boy.]

[ Whomp whomp. He's already throwing on clothes and heading out his window in a glide. ]

I don't.
Will he be okay?

[ Sora will have to pause his glide to look that user name up in the directory because he doesn't recognize it. Oh, Naminé! ]

∆ˆœø˜ß˚˙ƒ∂∫åß∑´ oh there it is
naminé

i don't know. if you hear anything out in the woods that sounds like a festival and it makes you wanna join it, turn around and go back to beacon
we don't know what that is but it might be dangerous

Is there anyway I can help?

I haven't been to the forest yet.

[worthallthis]

Keep clear of that, kid

Or at least wear the earplugs

got e,m in my eears
don't worry i know i won't go close
i just wanna see if hes okay

[ Solo rescue mission? Sora thinks he's smarter than that! (He's not.) ]

[worthallthis]

okay

[They know better than to try and make him stop. But if he's aware of the danger and taking precautions, then... that's what they can do.]

Keep in touch while you look so we know if something happens

Sora!?

It seems like this could be dangerous.

[ Lots of wind in this feed. Sora has to raise his voice even louder than he usually does for it to go through. ]

It's okay, I'm prepared! I got stuff from the soldier to put in my ears. That's the part that makes you wanna go toward it.

[sublimebeast]

It makes you w-

Dammit.

I can't let you do this, give me the plugs, I'll go check it out if this guy doesn't respond.

Please tell me you aren't ALSO going out there by yourself?

[arsarcanum]

[ Oh, he has to pause for a second to look up that username too. Hey Jason! ]

if it makes you feel better i have earplugs :)?

[notthatjason]

That is only part of the problem. It’s never a good idea to go it alone into a situation like this.

Idiot.

He's probably dead now.

@kol

[unpredict]

Did no one tell him circuses are absolutely horrible?

[evulsed]

Did you?

[unpredict]

Not particularly. Should've picked him as one who'd enjoy a circus.

Are you his friend?

voice; @lonk

[sublimebeast]

What is that?

voice; @kingofwei

[pure_havoc]

That appears to be the parade Commander Rosinante mentioned.

Idiot boy! He's not responding, they might have killed him.

[sublimebeast]

Should we go get him? Can he---

[He stops himself but the end of the thought hangs in the air.

Can he be saved or is it already too late?]

[pure_havoc]

I don't know. This is an unknown entity, a thing the commander considered nebulously dangerous because it could entice people to follow. The problem is approaching it without being drawn in yourself - we simply don't know just what will happen if you come too close.

[notthatjason]

You need to get out of there, NOW dude!

@lingering-will; text

[really_sketchy]

He isn't answering.
Sora is going in to get him out

text

[notthatjason]

I was afraid of that.

Actually both of those...Sora shouldn’t do this alone.

text

[really_sketchy]

He kept saying he didn't want anyone to go with him.

I'm worried.
I don't know what I'd do if anything happened to Sora.
He said he had earplugs
I am not sure what that means though.
