Sixteenth Lotus

[spandexisyouth]

I went looking for Shoanji earlier and cannot seem to find him. [There's a small spot from the pen resting on the page.] I do not suppose that anyone has seen him? It has been some time since he has written.

Simon, if you have time, I would like to speak with you please!

Certainly, Youth.

[spandexisyouth]

Splendid! I spoke with Paladin during a few days ago, and he mentioned that you taught him how to stitch wounds shut. I do not know what your schedule is like now that you are a 'moon,' but it seems like something that is vaguely familiar. I was wondering if you were free to teach someone else.

And also, if you were able to explain how you are a moon that would help me become less confused.

I'm sure I'll be able to find some time, although my sister may tag along, if that is okay.

Ah- it's a metaphor that Qi uses to describe our relationship. Our existence is very intertwined with one another.

[spandexisyouth]

That is fine! She is confusing but she does not mean to be, so it is not a bad thing.

Oh! Thank you!

[pompous_today.livejournal.com]

She enjoys meeting new people and discovering new things. I know you'll enjoy her company.

[spandexisyouth]

Splendid! My son seemed to enjoy writing with her, so I am sure that I will enjoy meeting her.

When would be good for you?

[pompous_today.livejournal.com]

I'll be on duty tomorrow afternoon if you wish to drop by; it would be easier to demonstrate at the clinic.

[ The word metaphor is scribbled out. ]

[Pentaps]

Is there a metaphor that is not a metaphor?

[enchainement.livejournal.com]

This one

[spandexisyouth]

Qi! If it is not a metaphor, what is it?

[burnt_orangesky]

I have not; I will help search for him. Do you know where he lives, Youth?

[spandexisyouth]

Yes. He lived at []. He was the first person I met here. You were the second.


[[ooc: I forget which section/job Shoanji had, but I know Youth knew.]]

[burnt_orangesky]

I assume you have already checked there? And yes, I remember meeting the two of you.

[spandexisyouth]

I have. I do not know where else to look.

[burnt_orangesky]

I can hardly search all the islands in a day, but [pause, pen taps] Where else have you searched exactly, Youth? Perhaps I can at least start searching the residential area itself.

[spandexisyouth]

I have searched his house, and gone through the Bazaar looking for him. I have not had any luck.

[burnt_orangesky]

I would hate to just start looking for him willy-nilly; we will never find him that way. Can you think of any other places he may have frequented?

/mainly just lurking because it's Youth. And because Qi is confusing, even when making sense

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Shoanji was who, again?

Hee.

[spandexisyouth]

He was the very first person I met. He was my first friend here. The first to take me seriously. And now I cannot find him.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

[A long pause, as if deciding what exactly to write and, for lack of anything better to say...]

Ah.



[Another pause of indecision.]

Would you like help looking?

[spandexisyouth]

If you would like. But I will not fool myself. I have not written with him in some time. I know that Medium disappeared during the chaos. She might not be the only one. Just the first that I noticed.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

People do disappear from time to time, yeah.
But 1½ sets of eyes is better than just 1. Assuming you want company.
[Added a second later] Is Lotus with you?

[spandexisyouth]

I would like company. I would like your company.

He is!

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Ok. So I'll try and remember to be on my best behavior, hm?
