A missing pet poster appears as a hologram video. The image itself is actually static, but some words seem to be flickering and glitching with a soft buzz.

(( ooc: the "cat" in question is a joke on Mizuki, who disappeared from Aldrip on 03/05! To those who know him, Saito is still pretending to be "Date" (aka pretending to be a decent guy and a good adoptive father to Mizuki), but he won't be dropping the act with those who don't know him either. ))

It's just a lighthearted way of tackling a serious issue
Anything wrong with that?

[grappler]

why would you make a joke about someone being missing?
it's not funny
if they're missing, they could be dead, and you're sitting here making shitty posters

[parasaito]

Now you're just jumping to conclusions
I never said it was a joke

Why would I joke about my adopted daughter being missing?

[The idea of being Mizuki's adoptive father is still cringeworthy to him, no matter how many times he tells that lie.]

[grappler]

"a light hearted way of tackling a serious issue"

i dunno, the fucking poster makes it all look like a joke. how about you spend more time looking for her instead of making that shit?
well, maybe don't. she probably deserves better anyway

[1/2]

[parasaito]

It's hardly my fault the poster looks like a joke to you, and only to you
Believe it or not, I've asked all around town this morning

[Another lie. Vi is actually right, Saito literally spent the whole morning getting this poster made for him. He knows Mizuki left on her bike the previous day, so the chances of her still being in Aldrip should be rather low.]

[2/2]

[parasaito]

[He was going to leave it at that, but the gratuitous hostility in this person's messages leads him to believe they might know something.]

How about you stop projecting your own issues onto a harmless poster and tell me what you know?
She could be in need of help as we speak, and you're just wasting my time with your anger issues

[grappler]

oh yeah? then why haven't i seen you, been outside all morning

[she can't stand being inside.]

i don't know shit
even if i did know, i wouldn't tell you
it doesn't sound like you're that much in a hurry to get her

[parasaito]

Good question, but I might have an answer for that
I don't even know you, we could've walked past each other without even noticing

And I paid to have this poster made, you know
How is this not being in a hurry to get her?

[grappler]

whatever

my point still stands
she's not a lost cat or dog to just pick up on the street
why did you even pick a fucking cat, anyway?

[parasaito]

You clearly don't know what you're talking about
Mewzuki is a cat I took out of the hands of her abusive caretakers and gave a home to
She's my responsibility now

[He's not taking any of this seriously... Sorry, Vi...]

[grappler]

oh just shut the fuck up

[and that's the last she's going to respond to him...she's Done with this guy.]
