It was a fairly normal day in the Plaza. Birds were chirping, sun was shining, all of that cliche stuff.
However, for Fate T. Harlaoun, born Fate Testarossa, this was a highly stressful time.
For one, her partner, Nanoha Takamachi was missing. She'd gone mising shortly after returning to this island to do some more looking around for the TSAB. Having just arrived here herself, Fate had not had time to check around much, but their telepathic link was not working, which was a big alarm. As long as they were somewhat nearby, ususally within the limits of a city, they could talk to each other telepathically. But Nanoha hadn't responded at all. So this either meant that she was incapacitated, or even worse...
Fate shook that thought away and held out her Device, Bardiche. "Wide Area Search."
"[Wide Area Search.]"
The staff sent out a yellow orb of energy that flew off into the distance. There was nothing to do but wait for it to search this plaza now. With a sigh, Fate sat down on a bench.

One could argue that the worst mistake young Goten would make would not be entering the glowing circle of light that had brought him to the island. No, instead, one could argue that the worst mistake he would make would be leaving the safety of the arcade for the Plaza. Not so much because he could get mugged. That might have been an issue when he was younger, but for the 17 year old half-saiyan... not so much. He didn't have to fear being mugged. He had to fear yellow orbs of energy.
He hadn't seen it coming, really. He'd merely been drinking his smoothie, humming a nice tune as he walked. It shouldn't have been as big a deal as he would make it, really. But with where he came from... glowing orbs of energy usually meant duck and punch. Or duck and scream like a little girl when you DIDN'T SEE IT COMING.
"What a nice day. I suppose I can kinda see why dad decided to come he-GAH!" Son Goten dropped his smoothie, leaping back. Which, actually, caused his shock to die down. It was replaced with indignation.
"Hey! I payed money for that!"

(OOC: I think FF was considering closing the thread to new players, but I'm not sure. So you might want to wait until after her next post to be sure. FF, say one way or the other in your next post.)
Princess Lady Serenity Usagi Tsukino, better known as Usagi to her friends and Chibiusa to many, had come into the plaza after a rather frustrating encounter. A new arrival on the island seemed to think a world destroying computer virus was a good man to be friends with. Not only that, but he'd mocked her and called her a little girl. SHe hadn't liked being called a little girl when she was really a little girl. And being stuck in the body of a five year old on the generous outside for 902 years hadn't helped much.
She'd been on the island long enough to look around some of the shops. She had been delighted to find a designer that made the type of cute clothing she liked. So she was sporting a pink denim number at the moment. She was upset, and one trait she had gotten from her mother's younger days was eating when she was upset. She should probably be lucky she had also received her mother's metabolism. She stopped as she saw a smoothie shop. She dug into her pocket. She grinned rather like the little girl she appeared to be when she saw she had enough money.
She was approaching the smoothie shop when an orb of yellow energy shot inches in front of her face. She eeped and jumped back, managing to fall on her bottom. She rubbed her butt muttering "ittai" as she got to her feet. She turned her head at an indignant shout. Some... rather overmuscled teenager. Her training as a sailor soldier took over and despite being a bit sore she walked over to him.
"Hey, are you okay?" she asked.
The twelve-year old looking girl looked like a stick figure would have been fat in comparison to Goten, rather sadly.

(OOC: Yeah, let's go ahead and close this off to new players. I like to keep it around three anyways to keep things sane.)
Fate had not expected her Wide Area Search orb to fly that close to the ground. She supposed that with this many people around, it would be better to search that way, but she hadn't expected it to knock nearly two people over. She sighed.
Over by Chibiusa and Goten, what looked like a computer screen floating in midair suddenly appeared, and showed Fate's face on the "screen". "I'm sorry about that. Are you two alright?"

The yellow orb of energy had been unexpected. As so many things in this strange place were. Even less expected? The young girl, seeming around twelve, with the oddly shaded hair. It would appear that she had chosen attire to match her aforementioned hair color. He was going to answer her question when the floating computer screen appeared. Less shocking than it perhaps should have been. At the very least, the two asked the same question, so he could address both.
"Uh, yeah. Just sort of surprised me there. Wasn't expecting to run into a yellow orb of energy, y'know?" Goten answered, calming himself. Maybe things were going his way for once.
Or, you know. Maybe not.

Chibiusa jumped a bit at the computer screen. Mercury would have loved that. She looked at the black haired teenager and let him respond first, "I'm fine too... what was that!?"
(OOC: Sorry for the short reply. D:)

Fate smiled. "It was my Wide Area Search spell. Oh, speaking of which..." She pulled a wallet out of her uniform and pulled a picture out of it depicting Nanoha, Fate, and Vivio. She held it up to the computer screen and pointed to Nanoha. "You wouldn't happen to have seen this woman, would you?"
She really hoped they had. This was getting a little ridiculous.

"I don't believe I have, no..." Goten responded, quizzically quirking a brow. After a bit of pondering, he was almost certain he hadn't seen her before this.
"I could help you look for her, though, if it would help." He offered.

Chibiusa's eyes widened, and things clicked into place, "You're Fate-san! Nanoha-san showed that same picture to me and a girl named Midori! Um... it's been a while since I've seen her though... I'll help too!"
Anything to get my mind of that awful virus...

Fate moved closer to the screen. "Y-You've seen Nanoha-san? How long ago did you see her? Was she okay?"
It had been so long since Nanoha checked in with the TSAB, she was getting very worried. What could have happened to her? At least this girl had met her, so she knew that Nanoha was on the island, but...

Goten watched on with interest. At the very least, they had a lead. If only a small one. It never occurred to him that he'd offered to help someone without even knowing their name. Nor did it occur to him strange that he was currently in the company of a 12-year old girl who looked like a stick figure compared to the boy, and a floating computer screen.
It's just how he was raised, these things didn't seem odd to him.

(OOC: Wanking a bit to align some of our plots, FF)
Chibiusa bit her lip. How long ago had she seen Midori and Nanoha? She held up her hand and looked as if she was counting on her fingers. Oh wow, it had been that long...? No wonder she was low on money. She'd totally lost track of time. She held up two fingers.
"I'm really sorry Fate-san, but I think its been about two weeks, maybe more... But I'll help look too! She was really nice and helped Midori-chan when some awful person targetted her! Oh... um... she had this wand, I think it got damaged thanks to that thing I mentioned, so maybe she went somewhere to get it fixed?"
It was probable Nanoha would tell Fate when they met back up. She couldn't really transform near the muscled teenager, though, but it would be okay if Fate knew. Probably. Nanoha seemed to really trust her and Midori had said that the two were involved. Then again, Nanoha had denied it. Then again, it wasn't something Uranus or Neptune went around blabbing either, and everyone knew they were a couple.

Fate thought about that. Raising Heart was broken? That didn't bode well. If Raising Heart had been broken, though, it was possible Nanoha might have gone to seek out someone who can repair devices, especially if the damage was something Raising Heart couldn't repair on its own.
"It's possible that Nanoha-san might have done that if Raising Heart was damaged badly..." Fate said. "Um, do you mind if I come talk to you two in person? It's a bit awkward talking like this when we're not that far apart."
Indeed, this type of communication was usually restricted to mages who were a fair bit apart from each other so that they could communicate more easily and more personally than the telepathic contact way. In this case, though, Fate was only a few minutes' walk from where Chibi-Usa and Goten were. It was a small bit awkward.

Goten had to pause for a moment. To be honest, he'd assumed they WERE talking in person. Hey, robots that projected digital faces weren't that uncommon where he came from. It was an EASY mistake, really.
"Uh, sure. Suppose it'd be a bit less awkward." Goten responded.
"I'm okay with it as long as she's okay with it." Goten finished, gesturing to Chibiusa, as he hadn't received her name.
"I'm Goten, by the way."

Chibiusa looked startled as Goten introduced himself. No surname? That was odd no matter what one's social standing was. Maybe he was from another planet in the galaxy? She brushed down the front of her miniskirt and gave a polite bow first towards Goten and then towards the screen that showed Fate's face.
"My name is Tsukino Usagi, pleased to meet you," she straightened up and gave a nod, "That's fine with me. There's really no need to use communicators unless its impossible to meet up or something really urgent... ahahaha," she sweatdropped. Why was she going soldier mode here? "Sure, that's fine!"
The girl seemed to hop between apparent ages rather rapidly. At one point she would seem a proper lady, the next a young woman perhaps in her mid twenties, and then she'd hop right into seeming around her apparent age. Her cute smile right now made her seem fourteen at the very oldest, closer to the eleven or twelve she appeared.
