WHO: James, Li-Na, Derek, Zee, and anyone else!
WHERE: Zee's office, then Derek's apartment
WHEN: late on 2/5 through 2/12
WHAT: just a bit of light kidnapping!
WARNINGS: none yet


[ Come February 6th, Zee's office is empty and locked. Which is pretty odd, considering he said he'd be available from now on.

Anyone interested in investigating further, though, may find a few clues near his office to look into. Like security footage on the street, or a discarded cup of coffee that didn't quite make it to a trash can.

Are you up for the challenge of finding out where Zee Carlisle has gone to?

[Her heartbeat speeds for a moment, partly in surprise - though another dial-up doesn't help things either. Instead she tries to breathe through the discomfort without sighing. But it's Matt and at least she can trust him with weirdness.]

Just hoping against hope, is all. What are you here for?

[blessmefather]

I was hoping to talk to Zee one on one but I guess I chose the wrong time to stop by.

[ Are they supposed to make appointments to talk? Matt run his fingers over his watch. ]

Awfully late for a lunch break.

[megatechbody]

Yeah, no kidding. If I were the suspicious type, I'd guess he was trying to dodge u--

[Despite her best effort, the 's' in 'us' ends up a pained hiss. Under the shallow and her heartbeat, there's an odd electric whine that cuts off just as her breathing starts to even back out.

Under her breath, she grumbles - partly forgetting who she's with.]

We need him and I can't put him through a window - even if it'll make me feel better.

[ Zee could be avoiding face to face meetings. Matt is about to suggest when she hisses and a sound he'd expect to hear from an appliance or wall seems to come from somewhere inside her. She has a device in her pocket? Or an implant. Matt attempts to reason his head during the split second he inhales, about to ask her how she's feeling. Her grumble makes no more sense. ]

Mari?

[ He tilts his head, frowing in concern. ]

[megatechbody]

Huh?

[Her tone is hard to read, the frustration and disorientation mingling as the ringing stops. And now Matt is focused on her and she chooses to huff her discomfort.]

Y-yeah. Yeah. I'm fine, I just...

[She's used to the lie 'I'm fine', 'It's fine.' but if anyone knows what this feels like besides Togusa, it's probably Matt.]

I have a new piece of tech...in my head... and the feedback from it is getting to me.
