23rd roar [ text ]; backdated to the morning of the 24th

[ Guess who saw the feed first thing upon waking and nearly flipped his shit? Yep. He flips it open to make some calls. ]

The empty base, and now this. Whatever it is they've got planned, it'll be best to stay on our guard.


[Private voicemail to: Cooper, Cooper, Sora, Ventus, Xion, Rise, Kisa, Nanako, Cecil, Yuffie:]
You're not hurt, are you? [ It's probably a good thing they can't see how worried he is. Suddenly--ping! ]

Error: user ID 'Yuffie Kisaragi' not found_

[ That's an unpleasant surprise. He checks his pokemon box--and finds Zuzu, looking forlorn. ]

[ Public text message sent out about an hour later: ]
If you knew Yuffie Kisaragi, she's been sent home.

[ He's just going to spend the rest of the day being grumpy and frustrated and torn between flying out to Goldenrod and staying on course to Blackthorn. ]

[His sudden tug catches her a little off-guard, but she's against his side before her feet can slip out from under her and all she does is smile softly. He's not good with words and she knows that, but his gestures still get his meaning across. She stays put when he pulls back, just enjoying the view and peace for what they are for the moment. Who knows how long either is going to last?]
