Video - un: detectiveforhierophant
Who: Ryotaro Dojima
Status: Open
Where: Cosmo Conservatory
What: Dojima is hoping he's just being paranoid, but as it's been several days now-- he decides to ask if anyone has seen Turo since he left.
Warnings: Nothing here, but the plot it relates to has some heavy stuff!
[The video opens on what some may recognize as the interior of the main building of the Cosmo Conservatory. A blurry tanned splotch on the side of the screen, a disgruntled, slightly rough voice as—]
Damn it— [Re-adjusting the shellphone—] there.
[A huff, and now one could clearly see Ryotaro Dojima, sitting at the desk that usually had Professor Turo seated behind it.]
Hey, this is Ryotaro Dojima, Head Ranger of Cosmo Conservatory, [A beat, something mumbled under his breath, was that ‘fuck it’?] Has anyone heard or seen from Professor Turo in the last three days?
[Ugh. The fact he had to bring this up at all— was it just his nerves? Also he prayed the heat on his cheeks was just the summer heat being too much--]
He was headed to Liansa— left his Pokemon here with me— to help with base construction, talking with the merfolk there…
[A hand wave, somewhat dismissive—]
Investigating, research, you know how he can be, right? It’s nothing unusual for us to work in separate locations for a few days, but…
[Frowning deeply, glancing to the side.]
Usually we at least send messages to one another before the end of the day, just to check in. I figured maybe the travel or heat wore him down, or he got deep into research and forgot—
[Which. Turo wasn’t likely to do at all, thanks to his AI mind—]
…But three days with nothing? That’s not normal. And he’s not… gone, his Shellphone ID is still active. He’s just… not picking up.
[There was no hiding the the concern on Dojima’s face, even if he had a measured tone to his voice, expression stern, focused— but that crease in his brow…]
—So if you hear from him or see him, tell him to give me a buzz, alright? Or if anything else is up, let me know ASAP.
[Annnd now that he's put himself out there more and feels more exposed then ever, that awkward clearing of his throat, glancing away...]
Ah... yeah. Thanks for your time.
[Slight bow of his head, and then he was reaching to switch off the camera--]

Learned that recently. Well. I wasn't sure if that's always how it works.
[ He sighs and runs a hand through his hair anxiously. ]
So that's... I hope that's good? I don't know if his world has more or less dangers than this one. [ A pause. ] Do you know of anyone likely to want to take it?
no subject
[Was that too awkward to say...?
And, at that, Dojima would pause again, glancing to the side.]
His world is has some similarities to mine, but I'd say it's over all more peaceful than mine or this world. Or maybe not so much 'peaceful' as... 'balanced'?
[It wasn't so much that the world was dangerous to Turo-- than just, Turo was a potential danger to the world if he returned home to Area Zero.]
As for wanting to take it... He tends to use it for pictures and communication, favours writing notes in notebooks or drawings in sketch books. So really, only reason would be if they thought they could get his research notes... or to prevent him from reaching out to others.
no subject
[ Since he should probably clarify. But at least Hawks is accounted for and recovering well. Right now he's worried about Turo. ]
...and I certainly don't like that last option. Does he have enemies, here?
