Log;

Tick, tock, tick, tock…

Ever since he had arrived a few days ago, Yazoo had been wandering all around the city, trying to memorize every detail he could, and learn about anything he could through eavesdropping and observing others. He would admit to not having learned too much, but from what he was able to gather he had come to the conclusion that this place was not normal under any circumstances.

“At this rate, it’s going to take me forever to get back to that carousel,” Yazoo grumbled under his breath as weaved in and out of the crowd. “Geez, how big is this place, anyway?” He finally stopped and took a look around at his surroundings, seeing if there was anything around him that he recognized. His cat-like eyes went from spot to spot, and a small scowl appeared on his lips when he realized that he had been going around in circles, but for how long he wasn’t sure.

‘Oh, for the love of Mother, this is ridiculous.’ Yazoo turned in a circle where he was standing and finally noticed that there was a direction he had yet to go in. Rolling his eyes with a sigh of frustration, he headed off, once again weaving in and out of the mass of people around him. ‘This better be the way. Hang tight, Kadaj…’

Glancing around, he picked up his pace when he began to recognize buildings around him that he knew were situated close to the carousel and, looking out over the top of people’s heads, spotted it off in the distance. ‘Hm, bingo,’ Yazoo thought to himself with a smug grin, feeling pleased with himself that he had been able to find his way around without help. As he drew closer, he continued to keep a look out for a head of silver hair, wanting to be reunited with his brother as soon as possible.

‘Anything to shut that damn clock up…’

Kadaj waited near the carousel, pacing back and forth impatiently. He had initially been surprised to find his sword at his side, but now? Now, he was more comforted by it than anything else.

He vowed that once he found Yazoo, they would go buy phones somewhere - this lack of communication just wasn't going to work for him.

He was growing more agitated by that noise. It was everywhere, it was nowhere, it was in his mind, where the voice of his oldest 'brother' still seemed to linger.

Please hurry, Niisan. I am lonely.

Yazoo drew nearer to the carousel, using his height as an advantage to peer out over the many heads of the people in the crowd. After a few minutes of looking and not spotting his little brother, Yazoo began to worry that Kadaj had not stayed put after all, even though he knew that Kadaj would never go off without telling him first. ‘I hope big brother didn’t find him first…,’ and with that thought, the middle remnant was just about to head in another direction to search for him when a flash of silver caught his attention.

There by the carousel, going back in forth in a seemingly anxious manner, was Kadaj. Mentally breathing a sigh of relief, Yazoo pushed his way through the crowd and came to a stop behind his little brother, a small playful grin on his lips. “Keep that up long enough, and you’ll have a hole in the ground by no time,” he teased lightly.

Kadaj spun around to face Yazoo, slightly surprised. On seeing him, he smiled - a real smile, though small. It was a rare look. Only Yazoo and Loz had really ever seen it.

"Niisan!"

He didn't think he'd ever been so happy to see someone before. He wasn't sure how the three of them had gotten seperated, or where Loz was, or how to find that traitor....

But for now, at least he had one of his brothers.

Happy for the first time in days to have finally found one of his brothers, Yazoo returned the smile that was sent his way with a small one of his own and loosely crossed his arms over his chest.

“In the flesh,” he greeted, the small playful grin from earlier still on lips as he tilted his head slightly. “I hope I didn’t keep you waiting for too long.”

Looking around the spot where they were standing, Yazoo’s grin faded when he realized that Loz was nowhere in site like he had been hoping. As relieved as he was to be back with Kadaj, it just didn’t feel right to Yazoo to not have both of his brothers there by his side. It felt like a piece of himself was still missing.

“Still no sign of Loz?”

Kadaj tilted his head to the side. His nervous movements were replaced with more fluid ones as he regained his composure.

"Well, you could have found me a little faster," he said, teasing back.

Kadaj caught onto what was bothering Yazoo almost immediately.

"I was hoping you knew where he was...." he said, trailing off a little.

So Loz wasn't here. That certainly dampened the mood a little, didn't it?

Yazoo shook his head in response. “I haven’t seen any sign of him,” he said, trying to keep the disappointment out of his voice as best he as could. “And we’d probably be able to sense him if he were here.”

He looked around them again, reaching behind to idly scratch at the back of his head before glancing back up at the carousel. “Well, knowing Loz, he won’t be too far behind. I know he’ll find his way to us eventually,” Yazoo looked back at Kadaj as he said this, offering the youngest sibling a very small, hopeful smile. “But until he arrives, maybe it might be a good idea if we learn as much about this place as we can.”

His smile turned into a very small smirk, and Yazoo walked over to Kadaj, throwing his arm loosely around the other male’s shoulders. “So what do you say we get away from this creepy thing, huh?” he suggested, gesturing with his thumb toward the carousel.

Kadaj's eyebrows knitted together briefly. The thought of missing Loz was upsetting. He was sure Yazoo shared that sentiment.

They would find him. He'd come. He had to.

Kadaj felt himself relax a little at his older brother's touch. It was nice, to not be alone. That dreadful sound had receeded a little. Though he was still a bit on edge, at least Yazoo's presence was comforting.

Kadaj looked at the carousel and made a face. "Yes. That's a good idea. The best one I've heard today, in fact."

“I miss Loz, too, Kadaj,” Yazoo said softly when he noticed Kadaj’s expression, “but I know we’ll be back together soon.” He knew the attempt to reassure his brother, along with himself, was probably a futile one, but he had to try.

At the face Kadaj made when he looked up at the carousel, Yazoo couldn’t help but chuckle. “You don’t like that thing, either, huh?” he asked with a smirk. He reached over with his other hand to playfully muss his little brother’s hair before leading him away into the crowd, keeping his arm around Kadaj’s shoulders so that they wouldn’t get separated.

[[OOC: Kadaj/Loz/Yazoo (and any combination thereof) just happens to be my absolute favorite OT3. ^^ So... I guess that means that these two are together? xDD]]

Kadaj raised his visible eyebrow at Yazoo. He didn't comment on Loz anymore - he didn't want to think about it. He had to come, and that was that.

He pulled his head away from his brother, making a face. But he snaked one arm around Yazoo's waist, not wanting there to be any chance they'd be seperated.
