[It had taken a few days for him to notice a certain housemate's disappearance - the man had been kidnapped, after all, and Asch didn't make a habit of nosing around in his room. It had been instinct more than anything that had made him poke his head in to check Van's room this morning.

The room had been empty. It's a familiar feeling, standing there in a room that used to hold someone important. Not necessarily treasured or even missed, this time, but undeniably important. And there's a fleeting thought, one he has to bury with the rest of the ideas that he doesn't share with people: how long until he's alone again?

...Yep, not sharing that one. He does close the door behind himself, though, sit down on the bed, and open his journal.]

Van Grants has gone home.

[He won't be all that chatty, but the message definitely needed to be conveyed.]

[And at the top of the list of Things Ion Didn't Expect to Hear Today, we have this. He voices a reply before he even has the chance to think about it.]

Are you sure?

[Voice]

[fabrecation]

Mas... [Luke lets himself trail off. It was pointless to ask for confirmation: if Asch announced it over the journals, then Van was gone. No question about it.

And Luke can't decide if that feeling in his chest is happiness or disappointment or a mixture of both.

So, he purses his lips before he speaks up again.]

Is... there anyone else with you?

[gleamed]

[:(] Was he a friend of yours, Asch?

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

... he was from your world, right? I'm sorry.

[trashed]

[...Oh. Well, that's something Sync wasn't really expecting to hear at this point. Not that he really feels a huge loyalty or any feelings towards Van; he hadn't spoken with him since the Original appeared, after all.]

Lucky him.

[He's so chatty.]

[Hm. This is certainly not what Dist expected to hear after so long of not emerging from his room, or even picking up his journal. He hadn't a care for anything and anyone since news of the Professor's return, but only offhandedly began browsing the new posts one again today. Anything of importance should be noted.

And, well, this is a bit of a shock and surprise. When he speaks, it's a quick and gruff mumble.]

At last...something to look forward to.
