IdentityUnknown

I come on, find Cure-kun is back, and see a status message involving Mark and a giant magnet -- never a good combo. SOMEONE EXPLAIN WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON!!!

...How does that not mean you're alive? EDIT: Wait, never mind, I can see how.

:cry:

Since when did you become a stargazer? O.o

Which is why I'll add on. IdentityUnknown (after composing herself) had returned to communicating with C and tracking information. For the first time in her life she drank an entire cup of coffee, which was just about enough to keep her awake. The taste was terrible but IdentityUnknown ignored it, thinking only of work. Lia had pestered her about going out and taking breaks, so IdentityUnknown had gone to the hospital once and met BK once. The only breaks she took after that were consumed with writing, which she locked with passwords and put in a USB. Early the next morning, a tired IdentityUnknown printed off several pages of information. She called all of the DCW members to the hospital room where Aeyra and Chelsea were, bringing her laptop as well with C on Skype. "Ok," she said when the nurses had been ushered out and the DCW members had all arrived. "Let's get started."

I dreamt something weird...not sure what. Though I think it included one or two DCW members...

Welcome! And the ceiling is up. :V

IdentityUnknown stared blankly at the computer screen when a knock came from the door. "Who is it?" "Pyre?" Lia asked softly. "You alright?" No. Of course she wasn't alright. How could she be? IdentityUnknown wiped away an angry tear, then went to open the door for Lia.. C had booked them hotel rooms and IdentityUnknown had one to herself. "Yeah, I'm fine," IdentityUnknown lied, hiding her pain. "How are Aeyra and Chelsea?" "Recovering," Lia said, closing the door behind her. "The doctor insists on keeping them for a few more days. They're alright, just shaken up. We found another ally as well: BK201. Her friend died on the flight." "Good," IdentityUnknown said dully. "I mean, it's great that they're fine and BK is with us. I...I'm sorry abou her friend." There was a slightly bitter tone to her voice. "It wasn't your fault," Lia said soothingly. IdentityUnknown shook her head. "This entire mess is my fault. Look at all of us. Kidnapped, held hostage, suffering from wounds, jumpin out of airplanes, almost dying, and now..." IdentityUnknown swallowed. "It's all my fault." There was a moment of silence. "Did they confirm--" "Yes. It was him." "Okay. Okay." They aat there for a while before IdentityUnknown pulled herself together. "I'm working together with C to figure out where the missile was launched and who did it. Tell Cure to call Grace -- she must be worried sick. You, KKLT, your friend, and Misaki-chan better get some ret. We probably can't do much but research for the next few days, and I want this over quickly. It's gone on too long, and we've suffered and caused too many casualties." Lia nodded and began to leave, but then hesitated and turned back. "Are you sure you don't want to talk about...you-know-what?" IdentityUnknown shook her head and put on a very faint smile. "I'm fine, Lia. Get some rest." The lie burned her tongue but she didn't show it on her face. Lia nodded and closed the door. IdentityUnknown blinked hard to keep the tears from pouring out. She turned to the computer screen, Mohorovicic's profile on the page, an empty reminder of him. She shut the laptop, sank onto the bed, and began to weep bitterly.

Now. And I need to stop delaying, I'm going to sleep now, goodnight!

Gladly. And I edited it. I am just minorly freaked out by that sentence...but thanks.

You added that later. But alright. Gimme a moment to fix that.

No you didn't. But if you like you can pretend you died when you got to the bottom.

"Hey, IU, shouldn't they have arrived by now?" Cure-kun asked. IdentityUnknown turned to him with a look of mild exasperation. "I told you, I'm not IU or Pyre or Kaichou or Jean. But yes, they should've arrived and they definitely should've called by now." Misaki-chan looked at her. "Yes, you've said that but you won't tell us your name either. So we're stickin with what we originally called you." IdentityUnknown sighed. C had only been able to book two seats for the first flight, which Aeyra and Chelsea had taken, so the rest of them were at the airport. They had promised they'd call...surely they hadn't forgotten? Suddenly her phone rang. IdentityUnknown sighed in relief when she saw it was Aeyra. "Aeyra," she said. "You got there safely?" "N...Not quite..." Aeyra murmured softly. "What do you mean?" "We were attacked." IdentityUnknown's heart began to pound. "Any casualties?" "Chelsea and I survived. One other person made it off. But the rest..." Suddenly the news on the TV was interrupted by live news, talking about a plane crash near the US/Canada border, shot down by some kind or missile. The one other survivor, an attendant, was telling how they were saved. "It was pure panic. Planes aren't equipped for missiles and we only had one parachute. In the frnzy, I was the only one who was calm enough to think. I could tell giving a passenger the parachute was useless since they didn't know how to use it so I strapped it on. As I was preparing to jump out, I saw an Asia boy, about 17 or 18, tie two girls together and throw them out with a differen parachute. It was incredible! Then he...he fainted and I jumped." IdentityUnknown listened to the broadcast in horror, a bad feeling deep in her gut. That Asian boy...it couldn't be...? "We have identified who is most likely to be this Asian boy," the woman announced. "His name is Mark..." IdentityUnknown didn't hear the rest of the broadcast. Later on she was told by a solemn Cure-kun that Aeyra and Chelsea had had enough sense to disappear before any questioning was done. But all she could really think about was that Mark was gone...gone forever. ------ There. Finished.

You're going to get Maurice involve in this? That's honestly my only explanation for you going to Canada... A short piece from me before I go... ------ IdentityUnknown had calmed down by the time she got back to the forest. H had gone and the DCW members were discussing what to do next. "Let's all get in the bus," Monsi said. "we can discuss everything there." IdentityUnknown interrupted them. "We're getting in three different vehicles. A bus full of people who have recently been kidnapped draws too much unwanted attention. C has three inconspicuous bulletproof cars for us and..." Her phone rang and IdentityUnknown picked it up. "What is it, C?" she asked. "This better be urgent." IdentityUnknown listened, then grimaced. "I see," she said into the phone. "Keep tracking. And book us tickets. The next flight, if possible." "Wait," Aeyra said, "where are we going? And what's C doing?" "I asked her to get people to keep tabs on our friend, the kidnapper," IdentityUnknown said as she put away her phone. "Her father is well connected so she got people to work for the past few hours in search of clues. They made a breakthrough. Which means we're going where he's going." "Why don't you just say his name?" Lia inquired. "You've been calling him the kidnapper this entire time. Isn't saying Mark much simpler?" IdentityUnknown's face was blank. "I have my reasons," she said. "Now let's go. We have a plane to catch." ------ Feel free to use C's resources. She has plenty.

I have a bad feeling about this...

How informative. :V
