[ Shinichi is far too accustomed to coming home to an empty house he doesn't even bother to look for a note-his parents never left one when they up and left, so why would it be different here? ]

Jeez!

Is it normal in some places to just up and leave a kid alone for a few days? Because, I thought that was just an annoying habit my parents had but Miller-san seems to have left since he's not at his job or here.

I just thought it was illegal. It's not that I really care-I can take care of myself just fine, [ Aside from the fact he can't cook. ] but I don't think it would kill anyone to give me a heads up. Obviously, I can't just run next door and make Agasa-hakase get me something for dinner like I usually do in this situation.

[ He's not yet found the notice that he's being relocated. ]

I don't want to talk about it. Like, ever.


Yo Badger, Skinny, uh Combo — you guys actually here or was just that some pirate magic bullshit? I can't believe I just said pirate magic bullshit like it's a real thing. Anyway, hit me up.

Jimmy Choo is pretty impossible to find here, but I'm still gonna look for this handbag. I mean, you were all pirates and superheroes over the last three months. Some actual designer goods can't be that far off.

Who: Koizumi and Aisling
What: waking after pirates
When: morning of Thursday, Sept 26
Where: a warehouse by the docks, second story
Warnings: None

[Sirius is looking serious.

Focusing right at the camera and although his face is guarded, some raw emotion does shine through.]

Lily, James, I have to talk to you. It's important. You were right before, Prongs, but... I had reasons for not saying anything sooner.

This also means: Rudy, you little shit, you can buy your own bloody vodka. I've decided I'm not the type to get blackmailed by wankers like you. And, trust me, if I ever hear about you pulling anything like this on someone else, you'll pay for it. Just give me a bloody excuse.

[He ends the video there, but after a moment turns it back on for a



private message to Sheska]

I reckon this means I have to explain some things to you, too, love. Are you ready?

[Another private message goes out to Rogue.]

I just wanted to check on you, after everything. We should talk, maybe I can help you. Please.

[When this isn't replied to for several hours, his worry makes him send yet another private message to Gambit.]

Hey, mate, I wanted to ask you something. It's about Rogue.
