[Minato comes to the astral plane with a gun in a holster around his waist. For once, he isn't slouching. He speaks clearly, in a voice that is more tense than his normal, relaxed tone.]

Where is Sam Tyler?

[notices that Minato is in srs mode]

I don't know. He wasn't at home when I went over. Why? What's wrong?

[twelvemasks.livejournal.com]

I... It's... a bad feeling.

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

Oh. ...I've got a bad feeling, too. He'd leave me a note at least if he was going somewhere.

[twelvemasks.livejournal.com]

... He was supposed to meet you for dinner, right?

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

Mhm. What should I do now? I'd go home but Sam...

[realitymods]

[long suffering siiiiigh] He's not here. [decide that's a meaningful comment]

[twelvemasks.livejournal.com]

Where is he? What happened to him?

[realitymods]

Right now? We're working on replicating his genetic coding. [stand with their hands clasped together] A forensics report would say strangulation. You know, if he didn't have a life contract with us... [annoyed sigh] You guys are real troublemakers.

[His expression softens, and he stares at the Twins for a moment before looking away. He doesn't say anything.]

[realitymods]

[pause and lean closer to him] We can tell you when he's done, except you'll probably see him before we told you anyway.

[his brow is furrowed slightly, voice quietly intent]

Why do you ask?

[twelvemasks.livejournal.com]

Something happened to him.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[carefully constrained]

Yes?

[twelvemasks.livejournal.com]

... The Twins. They found him... strangled. ['cause for some reason, "strangled" sounds less harsh than "dead" to him]

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

...Strangled.

[the word is weak, and he stares for a moment; within it, he regains his composure]

I see. Thank you.

Did the Twins disclose anything else?

[variably.livejournal.com]

...not since I first met him.

[looks a bit concerned because well she rarely makes that kind of face.]

[twelvemasks.livejournal.com]

... Pharos said something happened to him.

[variably.livejournal.com]

I'll help you look.

[twelvemasks.livejournal.com]

[And right when he learns what happened. He's a bit hesitant to tell you, so when he says something, he looks away.] The Twins told me.

[variably.livejournal.com]

You mean we won't fine him? [Gets a bad feeling because well, he's her and when he's like this it can't be a good thing.]

[contract_star]

[This is Hei alarmed.]

Mr. Tyler is missing?

[twelvemasks.livejournal.com]

[And the Twins have told him what happened! Sort of. He looks away.] You... They... The Twins found him...

[contract_star]

...

...

...Found him?

[twelvemasks.livejournal.com]

... They found his body.

[contract_star]

...

Damn.

...

Do they know who did it?
