Damn, too much too soon. Need to shift tracks.
He chose not to say anything and dissipated into data. He couldn't do this with beings that weren't created from data, so the stroke of luck involved in Kaito was something to be grateful for. The data quickly surrounded Kaito, adding a strong tinge of blue to Zero's data form as it shot into the island's system.
They were almost immediately assaulted by a low grade virus protection program. Zero scowled, realizing that Kaito's presence was almost a calling card for the Vocaloid. He glared at the system and it burst into data. Rather than "eating" it all himself however, he allowed the link up between him and the Vocaloid to create its own effect.
In essence, Kaito would feel like he'd just gotten a rather strong boost of energy. If he didn't allow his conscious mind to question things, it would be rather pleasant. Sort of like the feeling adrenaline junkies got from doing stunts. Zero turned towards Kaito, his hand still firmly clamped around the Vocaloids. He wanted to see the reaction before he went any further.
(OOC: Technically they are just data, but think of it in terms of Digimon being physical or something. I choose to express a physicality that isn't present in the virtual systems.
As for Gakupo, nothings changed. He's still "talking" with Harmona)

Kaito stared blankly at what had just happened, and turned to stare at Zero. "Woah. Um... can we get out of here now?" He gave one of his silly smiles usually restricted to his Bakaito persona, trying to look a little less depressed. The feeling he had gotten from the data had been rather nice, but he hadn't been prepared for the attack right after entering the island's system. If he had something to defend himself, though... ----------------- Luka ended up falling asleep, and eventually woke up, seeing Miku wearing a yukata. She sat up in the bed. On that note, it was rather strange for there to be actual beds in a traditional japanese inn, though at the moment, Luka wasn't questioning it so much as she was Miku's sudden choice in clothing. "Miku-chan, when did you go bathing?" Luka asked. Miku looked up. "Oh... I didn't, I just felt like changing into something more comfortable..." Miku said. She didn't look Luka directly in the eye. "Oh, um... Len and Rin are at the inn now." "Did you talk to them?" "No, I just heard them come in..." Miku said. At this time, Luka suddenly became amazed at how Miku had managed to put her hair, which was almost Rapunzel long up into a tiny little bun on her head. "Go talk to them." "Oh... okay then..." Miku said. She walked outside, and headed down to Len and Rin's room before knocking on the door. ((OOC: For reference, this is a Yukata: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yukata)) |

Len heard the knocking and stood up, Rin on the other hand was blankly staring out the window. He was concerned for Rin, but put that aside and looked through the small magnifying glass opening to see Miku. Len opened the door as he said. "Hey Miku." in a cheerful tone with a smile.

Harmona's face had darkened considerably during the conversation. It had been mostly one-sided, but had still taken an hour.
"And that's what happened... Seishuku-san, I'm worried about Kaito. I think with the way everyone is reacting, he's going to think we've turned on him," spoke the computer as Gakupo typed into it.
Harmona sighed, "There isn't much we can do. Non-Vocaloid celebraties snap all the time. I don't know if you follow American pop stars, but the examples I could give you makes Kaito seem pretty average," she paused as she saw Gakupo turn away, "I'll do what I can. You need to focus on resting. If Kaito can be found, I'll do it."
You have to realize that we may not be able to save him, though. It's his choice if he wants to throw his life away, Harmona was glad Gakupo was looking away as this thought went through her head. She couldn't show it, she had to be the pillar that kept the Vocaloids that were still in the group from falling apart, but she was deeply worried about Kaito. He was on a path to self destruction.
She glanced towards the door and stood up, closing her laptop, "You get some rest. And don't worry about the concert. What with the other chaos this is going to cause, I can rearrage the contract. If you can sing, it'll be great, but don't force yourself. Luka'll kill me if she realizes I've kept you up this late."
She took the laptop and walked out, softly shutting the door behind her. She'd felt Gakupo's gaze as she left, but refused to turn around. She'd need to leave the other Vocaloids alone for now. She pressed a button on her earpiece and was talking as she left the hospital. With what she'd learned... she wasn't going to be able to sleep for the next two nights at this rate.

Miku looked to the side. "Oh, hi. Um... do you mind if I come in?"

"Yeah, We don't mind." Len responded faking the happiness.
-----------------
Rin looked back at Miku giving a small smile before looking back out the window.

"I understand what the contract says. I am also aware of a certain area of small print tha-hold on one sec," Harmona had been talking cooly and in an almost evil tone of voice to whoever she had on the phone when she saw Miku standing in the hall. Her eyes were red and puffy from crying, "You know what, I'll call you back."
The Vocaloid manager didn't even wait for a response before pressing a button on her headset to end the call. That was going to create issues later, but she didn't want Miku to see her in business mode, or hear the words she was saying. She was working on getting Kaito written out of the contract, after all. It was a painful choice, but the careers of the Vocaloids that hadn't snapped were more important than Kaito. And it would only be worse for them if she let it sit and Kaito went on a killing spree. Which from Gakupo's description, sounded dangerously possible.
Harmona had stopped just next to Luka's room. If the pink haired Vocaloid was still awake, it was possible she could see a rare face of the manager. It was flooded with concern, and she was trying to figure out how to nonchalantly get pissed Miku. If the girl cried too much more, it would damage her voice.
Which really was a rather callous way of looking at it, but this was business...

Luka looked up at Harmona, sighing. "What are you up to, Manager-san?"
Miku had walked on into Len and Rin's room, and was sitting in a chair in there. Which in itself was rather odd, considering this was a fairly japanese styled inn, but there was a rather large amount of normal furniture in these rooms.
"Thanks..." Miku mumbled.

"So, what are you planning to do for the next concert Miku?" Len asked happily
-----------------
Rin didn't say anything and rather went spacing out again

Harmona jumped and turned towards Luka, holding her hand to her chest as a sign of her shock as she spoke. Her facial expression went to tired, losing the aspects of worry it had just been carrying, "The recent situation means I have to deal with contract changes. Its all very legal. I was headed to my room for an all nighter," her expression softened, "Is Hatsune-san going to be alright? And how about you?"
She wanted to bring up Kaito, but figured it would be safer not to. She was grateful Meiko wasn't on the island. The woman would probably be passed out in some alley from drowning the recent occurances out. But there was a question that needed asking.
"Do you think you could sing with Hatsune-san at the concert? I had other plans, but..." she quickly broke eye contact. She might have said too much, even with that.

Luka narrowed her eyes. "I am sure that Omomuki-san will be back soon enough. I would wait until after the concert to deal with the contract changes."
She lay herself back down on the bed again. "I will sing with Miku-chan at the concert if he doesn't return by then, though."
It was very much clear that Luka had been shaken up by the whole day. At the same time, she had a feeling that Meiko, despite all of her abuse of Kaito, would have been better in this situation. They were still half-siblings, after all.
---------------------------
Miku looked up. "Oh... um, I'm guessing a few songs... Manager-san will decide probably which songs I'll be performing..."

"Ah, okay. I'm sure this will go well though." Len said giving a bright smile and a thumbs-up.
(Rin's kinda out of it, so she probably won't be included in my post till Miku decides to check on her.)

Harmona remained quiet. What Luka didn't see to realize was the issue of public relations. If Kaito caused problems before she wrote him out of the contract, there would be hell to pay. It would reflect negatively on all the Vocaloids. She nodded and walked forward. She had a long night, and hoped the pink haired woman would understand.
(OOC: I"m all for time hopping to morning. There's some fun news awaiting the characters. XDD)

Miku looked at a clock on the wall and stood up. "It's been a long day. I'll be going to bed now, Len-kun, Rin-chan." She then headed back into Luka's room, brushing past Harmona on her way there.
---------------
((OOC: LET'S DO THE TIME SKIP AGAIN!))
The next morning, Luka woke up, and noticed for the first time there was a miniature television in the bedroom, and the TV guide on the bedside table. It was rather late in the morning, being about 10:30 now. With a yawn, she switched on the television.
"..zzare state in which the body was found is baffling the police. The victim, whose name is not to be released at the moment, was found hanging from a cell phone tower near the mall, with his throat slashed through by a knife. It's currently believed that he was killed inside the mall, due to the large amount of blood inside the Haagen Dazs. The fact that there is no security footage, however, has been detrimental in investigations thus far."
"What?" Luka said, her face paling. Miku yawned and sat up in bed, rubbing her eyes. As it was, they had ended up having to share a bed, as they'd discovered halfway through the night Miku's mattress was in horrible quality, and was horribly uncomfortable to sleep in.
"What is it, Luka-chan?" Miku asked. Luka immediately switched off the TV.
"Nothing," Luka said. "Go back to sleep."

Len said his good bye to Miku as she left, while Rin just didn't notice and the two went to bed later.
-------------------------------------------
The clock was ticking a little as that had woken Len up. It was 10:25 right now and he had seen a television and a TV-guide around his area. He just switched around the channels randomly and as he switched through the news station he heard something about Haagen Daz. He switched back to see what could possibly be so important about that ice cream place at the moment and watched exactly was Luka watched.
Rin was still asleep, she hadn't heard or seen anything Len just seen and heard.
