[Action]

This morning, Joachim will have woken up to find a few things missing. Namely, his roommate's weapons and, well, his roommate.

There's no sign of a struggle, no damage to anything, no 'I quit' note, no phone wreckage. In fact, his phone is sitting quietly on the kitchen table. There is one sent message on it.

[Text, to Ran]

Ran. I'm sorry. I only wish I'd known earlier.





((OOC: Not dropping him. He's just doing what appears to happen to every resident of Sirocco at one point or another and going missing.))

[Maybe it would be best to shuffle the evidence under the rug, as it were. Joachim casually spikes the ball back over the treeline with impressive force and hurries to his ex(?)-genocidal buddy's side.]

Well, we sure found him! Should we, I don't know, call for a vet or something?

[He pries open an eyelid. That's what they always do in movies, right...?]
trustycrowbar: (What..?)

[personal profile] trustycrowbar 2012-06-08 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
A vet??

... [Right. Bird.]

I don't think it'll come to that. Least, I HOPE not. how the hell did he get knocked out by a basketball in the middle of nowhere, anywaey? [This is a rhetorical question. Clearly it's a mystery for the ages.]

C'mon, featherduster, up and at 'em-- [He shakes him slightly by the shoulder... what he's got of one, anyway.]

[Joachim's still hovering over him.]

Just now, of course! You didn't think we wouldn't start worrying about you, did you?
trustycrowbar: (Coffee)

[personal profile] trustycrowbar 2012-06-08 06:35 am (UTC)(link)
Especially when you take off and leave your phone. That's never a good sign around here. How many fingers am I holding up?

[Answer: three.]

Three it is! [Gordon sure is good with this medical stuff. Booster made a good call, bringing a doctor into the team!]

As far as I can tell, some kind of basketball ninja got you.
trustycrowbar: (You're kidding right?)

[personal profile] trustycrowbar 2012-06-08 04:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[He ain't that kind of doctor, Joachim. He stands again and offers a hand up, glancing back at his big blonde companion confusedly.]

Basket--you know what, yeah. Basketball ninja, we'll go with that. Makes as much sense as anything. See, we found you next to... where did it...? [He looks around. His back was turned when Joachim sent the ball into orbit a moment ago.] Huh. Well, we found you next to a basketball of all things. Figured that's what knocked you out.

[Then something slightly alarming occurs to him.] You remember who we are, right? [Remember kids. Being knocked out in the middle of nowhere is the leading cause for amnesia in Sirocco.]
stinglikeabat: (Hmm.)

[personal profile] stinglikeabat 2012-06-09 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Thank goodness he doesn't have double amnesia! Going through the panda thing once has been enough trouble.]

What were you doing all the way out here, anyway?
trustycrowbar: (I wonder...)

[personal profile] trustycrowbar 2012-06-09 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Kind of hard to people-watch where there's no people...

[He produces Shen's phone and waves it to indicate before handing it to him.]

I know it's an invasion of privacy. But we were worried about you, especially after what happened this week. You remember Booster took off too when something like this happened, right?

Running away never seems to work right for anyone in this town.

Ran was worried about you too. Most of us don't care what you've done, just as long as you don't do it again!
trustycrowbar: (Totally within parameters)

[personal profile] trustycrowbar 2012-06-10 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
[Hm.]

That's right. She was. I wouldn't make her worry like that.

[Granted he IS curious why Shen would ever do something like that... but he's going to ask later. Joachim has just found the singular strongest reason for him to come back, and the best thing Gordon can do right now is just not say anything.]
stinglikeabat: (A conversation portrait you say?)

[personal profile] stinglikeabat 2012-06-10 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
I certainly think so!

It's not the same apartment without knives all over the coffee table.

Yeah, n' who am I gonna confuse the hell out of with chemistry talk with you gone?
