[There are crashing noises and the sounds of things breaking in the background... sounds like somebody is going on a rampage.]

Where is she? WHERE IS SHE? If those damn Malnosso have hurt her, I'll tear them apart!

[Another crash.]

Cowards! Why won't you show yourselves? Come out and fight me one-on-one!


[OOC: He is currently trashing Marta's old apartment looking for her... Alice will undoubtedly hear this.]

You should think before speaking. Her disappearance has nothing to do with wanting her dead or not. We can't influence what the Malnosso do, nor can we say whether they've simply sent her home or not.

[voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Shut up! Stop acting like you aren't happy about this! You're glad she's gone so that he won't be thinking about her instead of you!

[voice]

[judge-evening.livejournal.com]

I can't say I am happy. While it's true that Marta and I have been on opposite sides for a long time- No, we still are, in a way. But that doesn't mean I'm pleased she's disappeared.

[voice]

[knightofratatosk]

The Malnosso were only able to take her because he was so distracted by that stupid experiment that he wasn't doing his job and protecting her. Now she's gone, all because the two of you couldn't keep your damn pants on long enough to notice that something was wrong!

It's just like I said-- he's completely useless on his own.

[voice]

That experiment took place almost four weeks ago. I hardly see the relevance.

[voice]

[knightofratatosk]

And when did Marta disappear? Do you even know?

[voice]

[judge-evening.livejournal.com]

I'd say about a week ago, going by Tenebrae's words.

[voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Hmph. But if she had vanished during that experiment, he wouldn't even have noticed.

[voice]

[judge-evening.livejournal.com]

[... Sigh]

Fine. I can't deny that.

[voice]

[knightofratatosk]

He's so infatuated with you it's disgusting. He's losing track of his priorities because of it.

[voice]

[judge-evening.livejournal.com]

... Are you done ranting yet?

[voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Did I hit a nerve?

[voice]

[judge-evening.livejournal.com]

No. I'm just getting annoyed by your constant complaining.

[voice]

[knightofratatosk]

[Another smashing sound.]

Stop being so damned smug about this! I should find you and--

[voice]

[judge-evening.livejournal.com]

I don't feel particularly smug at all. I'm just tired of hearing you pin the blame on Emil.

[voice]

[knightofratatosk]

You're as much to blame as he is, or are you going to deny... that... too...

[voice]

[judge-evening.livejournal.com]

I don't recall accepting the job of Marta's babysitter.

[voice]

[knightofratatosk]

That's not what I--

[Aaaaand his voice is back to normal now.]

... Richter?

[voice]

[judge-evening.livejournal.com]

[Hm... Richter's still a bit cautious.]

Emil.

[voice]

[knightofratatosk]

I... where am I? This isn't the clinic...

[voice]

[judge-evening.livejournal.com]

No, it's not. Obviously, Ratatosk didn't want to stay there much longer.

[voice]

[knightofratatosk]

... I couldn't find her.

[voice]

[judge-evening.livejournal.com]

... I know.

[voice]

[knightofratatosk]

She's... she's really gone, isn't she...?

[His voice suddenly sounds incredibly strained and tired, almost on the verge of tears.]

[voice]

[judge-evening.livejournal.com]

Nothing's certain yet.

[Richter's feeling relatively bad about the entire situation, but there's not much he can do about it.]
