sometimes i think training an actual dog would be easier

[the_adjutant]

Hm? Do you need tips? I trained up Black Hayate pretty well.

[colorature]

you have a dog riza?
maybe...
do you think they would work on men

[the_adjutant]

Probably.

But then Black Hayate is smarter than most men in my estimation.

[colorature]

my boyfriend likes to pretend hes a dog

[military_dog]

Hey, it's me.

The train I'm on has come to a halt, and the network is behaving strangely.

Are you alright?

[the_adjutant]

I'm fine. Somewhere in the Down. Having some trouble with these devices.

[military_dog]

What are you doing in the Down?

[the_adjutant]

I was on a train, heading to the community center for a self-defense training session.

[military_dog]

We must be on the same train.

[ He breaks into a short, drunken giggle, and relief that she can neither see nor hear him in this condition cushions him like a bed of clean, soft cotton balls. Still, he's very concerned about her, having just seen this. ]

I've read a disturbing report on the conditions down there. Tell me you're armed, and Lieutenant? Be careful.

Riza. Status report.

[ as terse as always, one. ]

Re: text; un: one

[the_adjutant]

I'm alive, if that's what you mean.

It's touching to know you care, though.

[wearenumberone]

Is it so strange to worry?
You are one of the few mostly competent people in this city, after all.

Are you safe?
What of your commanding officer?

[the_adjutant]

I'm fine. I haven't heard from him since that whole mess began, though. Communications weren't exactly working.

[wearenumberone]

I see. You have my sympathies.
And what of a contract?
You arrived just over two months ago, I believe. Have you made progress on that front?

[ Unfortunately for Mey-Rin, none of her messages were able to get through to the Down at all during the multiple days that her Dominant seemed to have just disappeared. The days were sent sending countless 'text messages' and voicemails, trying to avoid festivities, and trying not to stress-pet a bald spot into Black Hayate's poor back. What was worse was that everyone in the Up seemed completely UNBOTHERED! Guards wouldn't even humor to her trying to ask about the trains going down other than to tell her to 'go away' or to just 'mind her pretty little business'.

And the moment the communicators finally connect the way they're supposed to... Riza's communicator practically EXPLODES with messages. So... so many messages. ]

[ Riza is still trying to make her way back to the Up and she feels exhausted--but when the device explodes with frantic texts from Mey-Rin, she can't help but smile. She takes a moment to read through a few of them, then keys a call in to her Submissive. ]

Hello? Mey-Rin?

[longsight]

[ The MOMENT the communicator rings, Mey-Rin answers and when she hears Riza's voice she actually chokes in relief. ]

Miss Riza! You're alright!? I was so worried! Where are you?

[ She doesn't doubt Riza's abilities or Sebastian's, but... everyone she knew here had been trapped with no way for her to go down to find them. It was all incredibly unsettling. ]

[the_adjutant]

Mey-Rin, yes, I'm fine. I'm fine.

[ She doesn't bother asking her to calm down. There's a good reason not to be calm! ]

I'm working on getting back to the Up right now. Are you alright?

[longsight]

I'm so relieved... I know you've always got things with you, but I was scared you were hurt or worse... The guards wouldn't tell me nothin' about the trains.

[ Ah... but no, this was helping. Just hearing Riza's voice was enough to help her calm her nerves. She was okay... Black Hayate would be so happy. ]

I'm fine. The Up was real quiet. Too quiet for a bunch'a people missing work and the trains being stuck.

[the_adjutant]

Yes, Souji?

[embracethewind]

Come have a glass of wine with me. I got a nice bottle from a shop in the Down that sells good alcohol the Up's not able to get 🍾🍷

[the_adjutant]

Sounds like a good time.

You could bring it to my new place, if you want.

[embracethewind]

You have a new home, Riza-san? 😃
