concerto 006

[eatmybow]

[A Strabimon comes into focus on the screen. He looks vaguely concerned, and a Hyokomon can be seen yelling MAYA over and over again in the background.]

Are there any Chosen on the island of San Francisco that would be willing to help Hyokomon and I locate our partner, Maya? She was supposed to be back by now, but it's probable that she got distracted by something.

[Hyokomon has switched from just yelling Maya's name to yelling various threats of never-ending house arrest. Strabimon glances over his shoulder and sighs.]

Maya is a little over five feet tall, has blond hair, and was last seen wearing an owl hat and a sweater with an owl on it. She also had a cello strapped to her back, and we would be very grateful if you had any information about her whereabouts.

[Maya doesn't notice him for a couple moments. It's not until she's sitting up to look at a CD that she catches sight of him and startles.]

Cam! [Headphones off.] . . . What are you doing here?

[Her surprise is absolutely adorable and he has to fight back smirking.]

Well, a certain someone happened to wander off, and I was called in as the detective to track her down.

[???????? Oh. Oh wait.]

. . . Oops. I lost track of time?

[He laughs. Sorry Maya!]

Yep, knew that'd be the answer!

[Making sure the cello bag is well-supported, he leans over and kisses her on the cheek.]

Hyokomon is probably about ready to strangle me, huh?

[She's grinning, even though she's in trouble because, well. Hyokomon.]

[Cam nudges her with his shoulder.]

She tries it, and I'll be your shield, don't worry. Take one for the team.

[eatmybow]

I don't think Strabimon would let her. [She knows her partners.] But I'm totally using you as a shield anyway. You make a good shield.

'Course I do, if it's for you.

We can stay awhile, you know. I can send a message and make sure they don't bug you while you listen to...all this.

We'll be here forever if you let me keep looking. [She laughs, mostly at herself.] Pretty sure this whole situation has proved that.

I still haven't even gotten through all the stuff you gave me for my birthday, so I'm not sure I need to be adding a whole music store too.

[Oops, that's right. He responds with a tiny sheepish grin.] Weeeell, then I guess I'll call in the troops, or at least say we'll be heading their way soon.

[He starts typing out a message as he talks-- Found Maya. Amoeba Store. Don't worry, on our way soon.-- when--]

...Say, I'm not one for, stealing, ya know, but, there's not really anyone here, so if you want to try...taking a few selections...
