[mindgooshed]

I don't suppose that anyone has managed to retain any memories concerning the weekend? Or was everyone affected?

[ his voice is clipped; this entry is short and sweet. .. yeah this is a sensitive subject. ]

Tampering with someone's memory is unforgivable.

[HE SAW YOU FROM BEHIND WHAT DID YOU EXPECT???]

...for the record, if you want to know...

something did happen.

[mindgooshed]

[ HE HAS A MAN'S FIGURE GOD. ]

.. I'm sure many things happen. Is there something in particular that you're referencing?

[redjacketthief]

One of my friends isn't here.

[mindgooshed]

.. Oh. I'm sorry. Was he or she sent home?

[redjacketthief]

[Not exactly the friend he was talking about there (if that was considered a friendship...)]

His stuff is still around, but he's not. That was over this weekend. So...yeah. Something happened.

[mindgooshed]

[ no wonder you're mad, bro. when kotetsu went missing barnaby went batshit. ]

You haven't heard from him? Is it possible that the Malnosso kidnapped him? Or would he be avoiding you for a different reason?

[redjacketthief]

[You're the first person he's spoken to since drinking waaaay too much and punting his journal over all of this. If only you knew the whole picture!]

I suspect a 'napping. He's quiet and reclusive, but has no reason to avoid me.

[mindgooshed]

[ man, it sucks being so helpless. barnaby's not really the Hero Type of personality, despite his line of work, but it feels like hell knowing that even if he wanted to help, he wouldn't be able to. heroes aren't enough. ]

I'm sorry. I hope he's returned to you soon.

[ and preferably not in a tiger's body. ]

[redjacketthief]

[Lupin's not the helpless sort--he always is working an angle--but even he with his patience is growing incredibly frustrated. He needed knowledge, information to work with. Not fragments of rumors and names with bare descriptions to chase...

Even he has his moments of weariness.]

Thanks. I hope so too.

[Along with his girlfriend. Hopefully neither will attempt to kill him on sight.]

[mindgooshed]

[ don't worry lupin, barnaby feels the same way. this is ouroboros all over again. he thought he'd gotten past all of this bullshit. ]

You're welcome. If you manage to collect any pertinent information, I trust you'll contact me?

..../facepalm that's what I get for posting on my phone...

[redjacketthief]

[It's impossible to get passed bullshit that's this deep and omnipresent. Either you manipulate it or you demolish it. No reason to not do both, right? Irritable though he is, he finds himself more interested in the guy who could mimic a Melville Era Alain Delon with Farah Fawcett's hairstylist.]

...Only if you do the same.

oh man i do that all the time

[mindgooshed]

[ .. goddamn you. ]

I will.
