[@Sir Lurksalot] He could feel it in him. This feeling as though someone had socked him directly in the stomach. It had been a year and 1/2 since he arrived. A year and 1/2 of just...loneliness due to having no one else that understood him. [i]Actually[/i] understood him. And more importantly, someone who could reliably help him get back home or at least have an idea of what happened that brought him here. And now..far away in all that smoke, one was likely dead. Another? Missing without a trace. He couldn't even react in time to either one of their aids. That man was just gone the moment he took his eyes off of him. Ease's mouth just pathetically moved but with no words coming out. It was as if any words he could utter were just lost to him. "Bud, you look about as bad as I feel right now...And lemme tell ya, I feel like my head's been set on fire and then shoved up a horse's ass." Ease turned around. Aaaaand there was that man again. "So, what's wrong?" [color=tomato]"What the..."[/color] Aaaaand he found his words. Ease blinked a few times and looked left and right. He wasn't seeing things right? Nope. Guy still existed. And no worse for wear either. Wait wait wait...He closed his eyes. It was just him being paranoid huh? Alright...Composure...Regain composure. He finally let out a relieved sigh. His mind was clear again. [color=tomato]"Nothing man...Nothing."[/color] Wait wait. The maid girl. He couldn't forget about her. His eyes went steadfast again before clearing his throat. One was accounted for. What about the other? [color=tomato]"A quick question. Actually 2. 1. Where did you come from? 2. You didn't happen to see a girl around here did you? She wore a maid outfit. May have been yelling in Japanese or something. Didn't seem like she was from around here?"[/color] His face was serious and stern. Maybe he could kill two birds with one stone. He put a hand to his chest again. Only to stop from the cold feel of his own blood and a bit of pain. He winced. Yeah...not smart. It didn't matter though. Ease looked back up. [color=tomato]"Please. It's really important."[/color]
