I do not know if you do something specific with bodies. There is no need to investigate. I saw who it was as they left. I was too sl

It might be just one body, not two. I do not know what the other thing is, if it was a person or not. It talked to me in the park in a way. But Fred is dead for now.

Bell, if you find time, please check on Genius and Derrick. I will between tasks as well.

I will. I have to- and even if not, we'll just- we'll make it right. Somehow, we'll make it right. Our story's not over yet, goddamnit.

[spandexisyouth]

Agreed. You and Bell and I will help him remember, and help Fred when she comes back. We will all work together.

Bodies?! Was one of them Castor's?!?

[spandexisyouth]

Castor? No. Is he missing?

he's sorta numb to deaths at the moment, sorry

[redrobinhood.livejournal.com]

Fred too?

...Take her to Wellspring, Youth. They'll handle it from there. I'm sorry.

No worries.

[spandexisyouth]

Thank you, Ghost. I will do that.

[buchananneket.livejournal.com]

Yes, he is. But Stoneface is refusing to look into the matter. I'm worried it's already too late. His killer is still on the loose.

imma assume they bonded a little in the trash golem fight?

[kisameisafish.livejournal.com]

Where are you, Youth-san?

Makes sense.

[spandexisyouth]

I am headed to Wellspring. That is where bodies go, I have been told.

[spandexisyouth]

Stoneface has good reasons for what he does.

Is there a crime scene even?

[buchananneket.livejournal.com]

Crime scene? No, not that's been found yet. But that's because no one will look!

Right now, he's just missing, but there's reason to believe that he's probably been killed. Again.

[spandexisyouth]

You are looking.

There is a great deal of chaos going on. There is no reason to assume that anyone has been killed unless a body or crime scene is found. There is more than enough work already without more being invented. He may even have been genderswapped and is trying to hide out of embarrassment until this blows over. If he is still missing after the event is over I will help you.

Disgusting analogy in 3...2...1...

No one but me, obviously.

Fine. I can take a hint. I'll just do this on my own. 'Cause when you get a gut feeling so strong it feels like someone grabbed you by the intestines and tried to yank your stomach out your ass, well, you notice. And you can't help but go with it. That or clamp down hard and hope nothing rips.

But I guess you don't know how that feels, do ya?

\o/ Ninjas Unite. Oh The Irony.

If you need an escort, Blood-chan and I have no assignment.

[spandexisyouth]

You are not taking into account that things are chaotic and everyone is doing what they can. You should stop and think. If you feel that something has happened to Castor, then you must pursue this. Right now I have a friend's body to carry to Wellspring, and the body of something I am not sure what it is but it spoke to me once. And then I have other friends to make sure are all right.

[spandexisyouth]

Yes. I think I would like the company and the protection. My arms are full.

[buchananneket.livejournal.com]

That's just it. You have friends to look for. From what I can tell, I'm the only one who cares that Castor might be dead, and I don't even think he liked me all that much. Still, if it was my body out there somewhere, I'd like to think someone would care enough to look, ya know?

I understand that you're busy, but I never asked for your help. Tend to your dead and consider yourself lucky for having friends to worry over.




[ooc: No, really, he gets all serious and retrospective in canon from time to time too. I promise. =p]

[spandexisyouth]

You implied that you expected more to join, me included. If Castor is indeed dead, then it is a concern, but so many are ... There is so much.

[kisameisafish.livejournal.com]

Very well, Youth-san. Where are you now?

[spandexisyouth]

I am in the park, near the largest clearing.

Thank you, Samehada-san.
