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--]

Private
I know.
Hell, I know humans sometimes, many times, treat other humans with slight differences as toys. Or pests. Something to either mock, toy with or destroy. Seen it in even a small town, anything that doesn't 'fit' the mold is lesser.
Can't imagine how easy it is for some humans, from denial, ignorance or just being scumbags to do it to created beings. Even seeing it just
[Again, the message stops for a moment or so--]
That's why I wanted to protect him.
Even if I knew I'd always see him as another person and an equal, I knew all you needed was one jackass to ruin everything.

...Why can't other people be like this?
Somewhere, they're shaking their head to snap themself out of it.)
Yeah, well, the point I was getting at is that things could easily get bad enough that there isn't time to wait or consider what's best or smartest.
