Out of the country for a bit

[atoberex]

I will be out of the country for a while. My apologies for canceling several engagements, but something has come up. If you need to get in touch with me, please leave a message with my butler, Kageyama.

Inui-san, I will be ready to leave in the morning. Only one of my PAs is flying out with us, the rest will catch up as soon as possible.

Momo, would you be willing to come with me? I...would really like it if you were to come with.


[ooc: Okay, time to start The Big Hunt! Inui has brought word to Atobe that, during his investigations of the crash that killed Atobe's parents three years ago...they might not actually be dead! So Atobe is off to scour parts of Europe!]

Oh, how dramatic and with what flare. Have a safe trip, Atobe.

[atoberex]

Thank you.

I...Inui thinks my parents might still be alive, Yuushi.

Private

[oshitariy]

Oh. That's...well.

Has he found them, or is that what you're setting out to do?

Re: Private

[atoberex]

He found evidence, but hasn't found definitive proof. However he hasn't found evidence that they actually died in the crash, either. He has a lead, but needs more resources to follow up on it. He's been gathering this information for over a year and a half now, before he was confident enough to bring it to me.

They...they could still be alive. But, if so, why didn't they come back, Yuushi?

Re: Private

[oshitariy]

I see. If it was Inui who brought it up to you, then there's reason to believe the impossible.

I don't know, but do tread forth with care. I hope finding out doesn't open Pandora's Box. How do you feel about all this?

Re: Private

[atoberex]

My thoughts exactly.

I want my parents back. But...are they still my parents? Why didn't they come home?

Re: Private

[oshitariy]

As long as they're alive, they'll be your parents, love. I imagine there were circumstances beyond our imagination, so rather than speculating maybe it's best to focus on finding them first and hear them out about their reasons directly.

Re: Private

[atoberex]

Yes, yes. Of course. Absolutely.

I will keep you informed.

Thank you, Yuushi

Re: Private

[oshitariy]

I wish you the best of luck. If Momoshiro is going with you I'm sure you'll be fine, but do call if you need someone to talk to.

Re: Private

[atoberex]

I will.

[gladiolusinpurple]

Ganbatte, Atobe-kun.

If there's anything I can do, just a simple text away.

[atoberex]

I appreciate it, Taki.

[gekidazejanai]

Seems pretty sudden for you, is everything ok?

[atoberex]

It is...I'm not sure yet. Hopefully I will find out. It's...complicated?

[gekidazejanai]

If you need someone to talk to, you know where to find me.

[atoberex]

I...thank you, Shishido.

[gekidazejanai]

You're welcome, Atobe. Safe travels, yeah?

[kabajim]

....

[atoberex]

No, Kabaji. You have too many responsibilities of your own now.

[kabajim]

.....!

[atoberex]

I appreciate it, Kabaji. But the children need you.

If...if things...I know I can count on you. I *will* call if I need you, okay?

[kabajim]

...usu.

[sunnycrow]

KAGEYAMA???? HE'S NOT A BUTLER

[atoberex]

I beg your pardon? He is. A quite good one at that.

[sunnycrow]

...Maybe it's a relative if the Kageyama I know....

[dontcallmeking]

... My uncle.

[sunnycrow]

oooooooooooooooooh

[dontcallmeking]

Yeah.

[atoberex]

And truly a fine man. He's a butler without equal.
