Mar. 3rd, 2020 08:16 pmHas anyone seen Kiwi? They didn't come home last night, and their name isn't on my contact list anymore. None of the priests have seen them at any of the temples, and they're not in jail.
They usually like to sing and dance in town to brighten people's day. If you haven't met them yet, they look like this.
[Attached is a video clip of Kiwi holding a Flareon's front paws and dancing around energetically with her, apparently trying to teach her to sing? She skitters around with them on her hind legs, making a good faith effort to attempt to mimic their sequences of notes with bright yips and slightly (if you're being generous for the sake of cute) musical howls, fluffy tail wagging furiously. Will isn't in the picture, since he's holding the camera, but it's easy to hear him laughing.
He's not laughing now. He doesn't trust himself to maintain his characteristic smile or tone, having to look at people or talk about this out loud.And if he's with Cor at the temple..... He doesn't want to trouble the older man with something like this, either. Cor has enough to worry about already. Perhaps that's most telling of all; Will almost never used text if he can help it. He always prefers video, or at least voice.
When Akira, Goro, and Kei had vanished, he'd been terrified, knowing they could be in danger from lingering spider monsters, trapped under rubble, sick, or hurt. But now..... None of that is an issue. There's nothing else that could be keeping Kiwi from coming home. This time, he's just..... Tired, and defeated, and more hopeless than he's felt in a long time.
This entire message is pointless, of course. There's no way anyone could have seen them. But Will doesn't think he could forgive himself if he just..... gave up on Kiwi without at least trying.]
