-The vine unfurls, the image displayed being a rather distraught Akira.-

I went to investigate the missing birds. I wanted to ask Mugi if she'd come with. Wasn't home. No big.

But when I actually get to the place I was going to scope out, I found a bottle in a tree. Inside... well...

-Akira holds up the bottle, pulling out its contents. Rolled up in the bottle are two pieces of parchment, lined for sheet music. The first page is a letter written in a neat cursive, with the words laid out in the space between the blocks for notation. It makes makes the spacing kind of awkward.-



-The second page is a page of haphazardly sketched musical notation (meant for piano, as those familiar will notice). There are lyrics, too, which are awfully cheery when you consider the fact the author was kidnapped! The title is "Dreams Dancing in the Clouds". Yeah, there's no questioning that this is authentic.-

... Is anyone else missing?

Dear Madam:

The view of the Gardens is breathtaking from above!
There is so much to see and learn, even here.
I am being treated well. There are others with me.
I wish that I could share it with you all, so I have
attached something special to that end!
I hope you are doing well.

...I'd wondered where she'd gotten off to.

Oh well. It simply presents the challenge of getting her back.

[drinkswithminors]

From where, though?

[bloomnobly]

Who knows? That's another thing to figure out.

[starofpleiades]

Mugi-chan's missing!?

[Kazumi quickly reads over the note]

She's... in the clouds?

[drinkswithminors]

That's what it said...

[starofpleiades]

That's pretty crazy... I don't know how we'd look for her up there! Even I can't fly, at least not that high...

[snowknife]

Kidnapping a foreign national can be an act of war [Except of course when she does it to get her way.] Your nation should declare war on the kidnapper's nation. [She says all of this without changing her tone, as if all out war for something so minor is completely normal.]

[drinkswithminors]

This isn't my nation.

[jemerite]

With others... I have not seen Kuja or Jessica.

[She is physically incapable of crying, but the look on her face suggests it.]

[drinkswithminors]

... How much you wanna bet this has something to do with our feuding queens?

[jemerite]

The pirates? Didn't they leave, after the party?

[Nice situational awareness, Zinc.]

[hopelessdreamer]

Wait a minute...missing? How do we know they didn't just get sent home?

[they being...well, that's a yes to the question of other girls missing, essentially.]

[drinkswithminors]

She said there were others with her.

[hopelessdreamer]

Yeah, but--

Dammit. The pirates?

I only just noticed her missing the other day... I was worried, but this is... definitely not what I expected.

Probably that Pirate Queen then.

[drinkswithminors]

That's my suspicion, too.

[gun_cata]

Apparently she's in the sky too. Someone's going to have to get up there to fight her.

[fionna_time]

Hey! What? Who took Mugi?!

[drinkswithminors]

We don't know... not for certain, anyways...

[fionna_time]

Well this is not cool! She was gonna give me drum lessons!

Plus, she's awesome and I really like her!

[cleaningstop]

People have gone missing?!

[drinkswithminors]

That's what it seems like.

[cleaningstop]

But why?! Who would ever want to take someone as kind as her?

[Why does she think Akira would know?]

[spacejumping]

Any idea of how long she's been unaccounted for?

[drinkswithminors]

Sadly, I have no idea. I only tried to visit her today. I didn't go into her place.
