Where's the Master?

[Ianto appears on the Plane, gun drawn and looking far from happy.  He gets straight to the point, because he's clearly not in the mood for small talk... no prizes for guessing why he's so angry and who he's blaming.]

Comments

[Mildly suspicious.] Why are you looking for him? Them?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Someone I know has gone missing. [And because he has picked up that suspicion] It's not him who's disappeared, if that's what you're thinking.

[contract_star]

[Suspicion dissipates.] No, considering him, I figure most people would be rather glad to have him gone.

You're not the only one, though. You make the seventh person with someone missing, and there are probably others.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

I know I would be.

So I heard. He could still be responsible, but it seems unlikely.

[contract_star]

[Small smile.]

I don't think so. This stinks of the Twins.

[No smile back- sorry. :(]

I take it shooting them wouldn't do much good?

[contract_star]

[He doesn't mind.] I'm not sure if anyone's actually tried to kill them, but I get the sense that it wouldn't work. They seem to have absolute control over us.

If we all work together, we should be able to find them all. At this point it's looking like the missing people have ended up in other realities.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Probably not. Considering how much control they seem to have, it seems unlikely any of us would be able to.

[Okay, that does cheer him up slightly.] Any idea of who's ended up where yet?

[contract_star]

Unfortunately.

Not yet. Yuzuriha's the only one to have noticed someone new in her world. An adult male with tanned skin and dark hair. Does that sound like who you're missing?

[Blinks.] ...We haven't met before, have we?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Afraid not. Japanese female, English accent, and about this tall. [Holds hand at Toshiko!height (AKA- short).]

...I don't think so. Ianto Jones. [Holds out a hand.]

[contract_star]

I'll keep an eye out for her, then. What's her name?

[Smiles faintly and shakes Ianto's hand.] Li Shengshun. Nice to meet you, Mr. Jones.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Thanks... it's Toshiko Sato.

[Returns the smile, and nods before letting go.] Likewise.

[contract_star]

Alright. And if you find a girl named Yin in your world--she's blind, about nineteen, has silver hair and is wearing a purple dress--let me know.

Good luck to both of us, I guess.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

I'll have a look round; make sure I keep an eye out for her, or anyone else out of place.

I think we'll need it.
