Fate 34 -◘[Video/In Person]◘- If only my heart had a home...

[deeplymeaningless]

[Another field trip. Great. Ryuutaro really didn't feel up to it, but then again, getting out of the Manor always had it's good sides. He had been looking around the village most of the day, getting used to the place, and now it was afternoon. The problem was that the Manor population had decimated a lot. Ryuutaro had maybe not talked to all the people, but he knew their faces. And he knew when someone was missing. 
Checking the blackberry for contact methods had provided more and more hints. Now he was sitting in front of a house, looking not exactly sad... just blank.
But then he smiled brightly at the camera. Fake, fake, fake. Lies came easy to him again. At least he could be himself again, but it didn't feel nice.]

Kaoru Hitachiin... I am correct assuming he's left the Manor and went home, right? It doesn't seem like he's around here and I cannot reach him over the Blackberry either.

I suppose it is for the best. I hope a pleasant fate awaits him at his homeworld.

[He opened his fan dramatically in front of his face and turned the video of. He had never gotten around to call Kaoru something like a friend... But the other boy had been there so long, they had talked, casually, friendly... They got along. And now Ryuutaro had to realize that, aside from Hayato, Kaoru had been the only one he had been positively close to. What was left now were people hating him for various reasons (all related to his relationship though) and some people who were neutral towards him. It wasn't that he cared. 'Haters to the left'. He was okay with such a way of thinking. Ryuutaro had never needed nobody's appreciation. 

But that had been when he had still been able to get worshiped for his abilities and profession. Now there was absolutely nothing left but a little boy in a way too dangerous world. As soon as the video feed ended, Ryuutaro fell together in himself, staring at the ground. His food painted random structures in the sand.
Well. He didn't have a home. He didn't have friends. He didn't have abilities. He had been stripped of everything that defined him.

'I am Ryuutaro Fukami. I am flawless.'

Hah.

Next to him he had set up his fortune-telling bowl. The boy watched the flower petals sink into deep, dark water. Hah.]
 

First Flight ♥ [Video]

[flocks_angel]

[Playing with the phone, it's not long before a teddy bear's face is shown on screen. It's not on purpose, just the way that Angel is holding the phone while pressing buttons.]

Helloooooo~? Max? Fang? Gazzy? ...Where is everyone?

[There's a small hint of worry in her voice. She was just in New York but...this looked like India or something...either way, she shouldn't be here.]

Max, please...call me, I don't know what to do... [And that was killing her. As it was, she didn't feel comfortable enough to stay in the camp that she'd woken up in...so now she was just hoping that there wasn't anything dangerous around here. With the way that things were happening lately, with her luck, she wouldn't be able to influence the animals.]
