Day 99 | Open
Who: Rin, OPEN
When: Day 99
Where: Bastion, near the exit
What: Rin hasn't seen her familiar in a while and she's finally gone looking
Format: Action
Warnings: Sadness :c
[Residents going missing was an unfortunate, but common thing. Sometimes they just never came back from the Skyway. Like many things there it had become a fact of life that everyone was slowly growing accustomed to, even if they didn't really want to. It hurt, but what else could you do about it?
But Rin hadn't ever thought one of those times it would have been her own familiar that simply... didn't come back.
Of course she had given him the benefit of the doubt - why shouldn't she? Cats were independent and none more so than Kuro. But when weeks passed with no sign of him, no familiar weight on her bed at "night", she finally went looking for him around the Bastion.
She walked about, calling out his name, asking people if they had seen the cat sith, but all of them just shook their heads with worried expressions.
She even set food out from the kitchen in a bowl, trying to tempt her familiar back with the scent of something yummy.
Another day passed, and he still didn't return. Her heart was aching, but more than once her eyes drifted to the exit out to the Skyway.
One more day, and she finally gave in and went to look. She took to the Skyway alone again, knowing better of course but pushed by a painful desire to know if her intuition was right. Normal sword in hand, Kurikara on her back, she set out, calling Kuro's name in some vain, weak hope that he would come bounding up having lost track of the days.
But there was no sign of him. Not even a single tuft of cat hair caught in a bush. The more she called, the more frantic her voice rose, the faster her steps got until she was running blindly, sobbing, screaming for her familiar, begging to the sky to just let her have him back, just this once don't let her lose some one else.
Blue flames licking her body, she slashed wildly at plants with the blade of her normal sword, eventually stumbling to a halt next to one of them. Something red caught her eye through the haze of tears. She rubbed at her face with the back of her hand, reaching to pick it up.
Kuro's collar, torn probably in some scuffle, now abandoned here on the Skyway.
That was it. He had to be gone. There was just no other explanation.
In the distance, a flock of Peckers took to the sky suddenly, and something rumbled low and deep, snapping Rin out of her painful thoughts. A swear left her and she was able to get to her feet, turn tail and book it with some stumbling back to the Bastion before anything could find her out there in her vulnerable state.
Once back over the threshold of the Bastion, she staggered to a halt, turning back once more with the broken collar clutched in her hand.]
Kuro...
[She didn't even bother trying to head back to her room to hide her anguish from the other residents. Her knees buckled right there, dropping her to the ground with a sob, shaking fist held to her face as she clutched the collar between her fingers.]
