Setsuna's going to go looking for Duzell-kitty, Sara, Kira & Pearl

[swordandchalice.livejournal.com]

[[If Pearl's still staying with them. And write a lot of letters. x___X Also, I know some people are on hiatus, so don't worry about responding until you have time. I'm not expecting immediate answers. And I am SO SORRY this caused the kid to flip out. x___X]]

After nearly a year of being there in that twisted Disneyland, Setsuna had grown far too accustomed to the sense of everyone's auras mixed together, to the point he didn't even realize he felt them. He couldn't tell anyone apart unless they were close by, though.

Still, everyone just seemed to meld in like a big space of warmth in a large cavern of nothing -- like a family huddled together from the cold. When several little flames went out all at once, Setsuna noticed, this time.

Just like that...there was something missing, and the worst feeling for the over-emotional teen was not knowing who those people might be.

At once he called out, "Hey, Little Rascal, where are you? Here kitty-kitty!" searching for their newest addition -- he still needed to introduce that little guy to Pearl, now that he thought of it. Maybe she would like cats. And once he had the kitten, he wanted to find Sara and hold her, very, very tightly. And Kira had to be found, too, and Pearl. And...there was a rather big list going on in the blond's head. Eventually, it became a string of letters.


Hey, Cayce....

How are you doing right now? Feeling all right? I was going to tell you about some of our new additions, but I noticed in your paper you covered them. I am reading your papers, by the way. I think they're great, even if Crowley's sarcasm in the first one was so superior. It's actually funny, if you don't take him seriously.

Oh! And Demyx is still around. He got back to me some time ago, and is apparently getting really messed up here. Not that I blame him. It's disorientating.

Just let me know how things are going.

Hey, stingy alcohol prat,

You're still here? Right? I mean, what would this place BE without someone hogging all the booze. I can't imagine someone like you vanishing anyhow. Just let me know you're still here to piss us off.

- Setsuna



Duzell,

I wanted to know how you were doing. It only seems right to check up on you after the blood and make sure it was satiating for you. You meeting nice people, I hope? I've met some...well, jackasses, and some okay people, myself.

Drop me a line when you get a chance, okay? Take care.

- Setsuna



Hey, Fell, Aziraphale whichever,

You're still around and doing all right, right? And I was thinking maybe I could go look and see if you have any books on angels. Mainly, the angel Michael, and his brother, and stuff like that. The really in depth, detailed stuff. Let me know of a good time to stop by.

- Setsuna



Hey, Rukia,

You and Ichigo are still around, right? Doing well and all that? You better be.

- Setsuna



Hey, Raphael,

I know you and Michael just got here, so this would be really fucking stupid if it happened but...you are STILL HERE, right? I don't even know why I care since you two seem to upset Senpai with just your mere presence...but.... I don't know. You don't seem that bad.

- Setsuna



Fay!

You and Kurogane are still around, right? How are things going? Doing any business lately?

- Setsuna



Susan,

You doing okay? Any luck finding the brat? I mean...Calvin? Pearl seems to be doing well. She's a good kid, and a cook, on top of that. Quite a wonderful person to have around. I'll be sad to see her go, but I'm sure she'll be better off with you.

- Setsuna



John and Daniel,

I've still not even tried your moonshine. Shame on me. I'll give you a full report of the effects and complain to you about the taste in full when I do, though. In the meantime, you guys are still around, right?

...I have no idea why I'm writing a letter to you both....
-Setsuna



Hey, Leon,

So...I'll just ignore the stuff from the newspaper, for now. I think that's best, since I've got other worries on my mind. You're still around, at least, right? And...did you ever get any alcohol? I don't remember if I told you where you could get some from or not, I just remember it being obvious from your radio show you wanted to be shitfaced.

- Setsuna



Butterfly,

Hey, how are things going lately? You've been meeting any of the new people? Some of them are pretty interesting. Some of them are just plain odd. Oh well.

I just wanted to check up with you and see how you were doing. Make sure you were still here. Maybe we should get together at Fay's with Sara and Kira-senpai, and we can introduce you to Pearl. She's such an adorable delight.

We need more kids around here.

- Setsuna


He didn't write to Rae, Demyx or Adam, but that was because he planned to visit them as soon as possible.

Slowly, Setsuna pulled away and nodded his head, understanding Kira's question was begging for an explanation. Which, naturally, Kira did end up expanding on. The more direct questions left Setsuna quiet for a while as he worried his bottom lip. Explaining this thing wasn't so easy his blunt mouth could run with it.

Finally, he opened his mouth to explain with, "It's like... I told you before I could sense you, Katou, Aziraphale and Crowley, and I could tell how you were all different. Katou and you are most different, though. You feel nothing like any of them, and Katou shares some sort of similar feel to other normal humans."

Thankfully, since Kira had calmed Setsuna down enough, he could at least feel Sara nearby, so he was no longer shaking with worry and fear over her. She was there.... He would just have to wait to hold her until he finished explaining with Kira, though. Besides, it was best he felt at his strongest around her.

"But when everyone's far away I can't feel individuals. It's just a huge bundle of people. And a good portion of it just vanished right now. I couldn't tell where those people were or anything. I was scared you or Sara might have gone," Setsuna finished, clinging tightly to Kira again.

A smile tried to crack though Setsuna's pain, but it faltered and tapered out, slipping away again as Setsuna shook his head.

"We don't know how it happens. I don't think you'll get a choice, Senpai," Setsuna argued in quiet tones, all the while wanting to believe Kira's words with certainty. Still, Setsuna wasn't going to lie to himself. The situation was what it was.

Regardless of what he said, though, one hand was clinging tightly to Kira's shirt, and already one foot was aimed in the direction he could feel Sara in.

Setsuna's lips finally turned up, breaking through that worried pain. Again, he crushed Kira to him, breathing far more relaxed, and eventually he came back up to breathe the stale air of the theatre, which held a hint of Kira's scent, him being so close.

The kid took Kira's firm tone and mocked it fully, sternly telling Kira in return, "In that case, you had better stay here." He got it, and Setsuna felt so much more comforted viewing things this way.
