Sconibulus was very, very much in trouble. So much in trouble, in fact, that after Yamiko had finished interrogating him as to the circumstances behind his recent unprovoked aggression, she had thrown her hands up in the air in disgust, utterly unable to form words, and pawned him off on Kaelas for safekeeping before grabbing her cloak and rushing out into the steadily-worsening rain to arrange a message to be sent to Otaku. She hadn't returned to Kaelas' home that night - but it was not unusual for her to end up sleeping in the office in times of crisis, and this assuredly qualified.

She wasn't in her office when Kaelas checked the next morning, but that was only mildly surprising - she had been trying to arrange a meeting with the heads of Tench-Kisaragi Heavy Industries as soon as humanly possible, and it was likely she'd managed to obtain a breakfast meeting. It was only when a golem messenger bearing a reply from Tench-Kisaragi found its way to Kaelas, having been unable to locate the Chancellor of Daily Affairs on the premises, that Kaelas began to worry...

OOC: Tag Kaelas first, then anyone else who wants to join in, preferably from TOMU and/or OTAKU

Kaelas tries not to overreact- she's a grown woman and a powerful Magus in her own... Oh, to the hells with that. A few commands later and every clan golem not currently assigned to Shadow someone's workshop is out on patrol. Orders are for scouting manervours only, no contact of any kind unless there's a direct and immediate danger to a Life- Magi, landen or Awakened golem alike.

Raiden, having found that his cousin was missing once again, also lent his talents to the search...however seeing how his talents only helped with the ODDS of finding her rather than giving a location, he still needed to go out with his assistant and his clay golem Sigfried and help with the patrols. ~Yamiko, I really hope that you are alright. I am sure you can handle yourself, but you do seem to find yourself in very odd situations.~

Missive from OTAKU reads:
"Dear Chancellor Kuronue, we regret that we cannot arrange a meeting at this time, despite the exigent circumstances. The Director of Daily Operations is currently indisposed. Hopefully, something can be arranged in the near future.

Signed,
Secretary Cyrilla"

---

Amid the confusion on the grounds of Magisterius University, a fast courier arrives from Tench-Kisaragi Heavy Industries. Exhausted and looking harried, he searches the faculty until he finds Chancellor Kaelas. Hurrying over, he delivers a sealed scroll and waits on a return message.

The outside of the scroll reads: For Chancellor Kuronue eyes only. The message inside is as follows: "Chancellor, I sincerely hope you keep this quiet, but the Director is missing. Presumably, for some days now... again. We were unable to locate him when your message arrived, and his office door wouldn't open. When we finally broke it down, we discovered that all the scrolls had collapsed his desk and blocked the door, but he wasn't inside. I would appreciate any discreet assistance you can provide in finding him. - Cyri. P.S. While intelligent and expedient, the courier bearing this displays a singular lack of curiosity, and therefore trustworthy."

Less than an hour later- much, much too fast for someone to have traveled from the TOMU campus to the OTAKU compound- Kaelas strides up to the front gates, missive still tightly clenched in one hand. "Open. Now," he snaps at whatever guards the entrance as he snaps his black colored bat-like wings closed around him. At least he's not (visibly) armed?

The OTAKU Security magus looks down over the parapet, as the duty golems orient on the visitor. He calls out, "Greetings of the day, sir. I must ask you to stop there and state the nature of your business here." The golems ready weapons while steadily watching but otherwise do not move, per protocol.

"Chancellor Kuronue of TOMU clan," he snaps out, not slowing down as he continues towards the gate. "Cyrilla asked me by to discuss something beyond your pay grade."

FINALLY able to step (escape? sneak? avoid?) the work in the war office, Kyomi sighs as the guards perk up to something outside the front gate.

A brief word to the guard later, and Kyomi hops up onto a conveniently placed block of stone to get enough height to look over the wall.

"Oh. More work then? Let him in." She levels a stern gaze at the gate guard before he can protest, and with a wave the gate opens enough to let the visitor by.

She then goes down to meet the man herself, settling her (thankfully warm) robe of office about her shoulders.

Kaelas, absently glad he doesn't have to do anything drastic to the gates, enters with a brief nod. "Magistrate Kyomi," he says in greeting. "Cyrilla sent me a message I need to follow up on. Where is she?" Huh- Kaelas is normally very polite and rather charming, if not willing to wade through politics and other such bullshit. Direct but nice- this... something's wrong here.

Kyomi hmm's thoughtfully, then replies "Honestly? No idea. I've been almost literally up to my neck in paperwork recently." She turns to one of the faster flesh golems up on the wall and says "Fetch."

The word itself is simple, but the air almost vibrates with the actual command, to find Cyrilla and bring her.

"Care for a drink while we wait? I have this rather extensive bar on hand, just through the wall there." Her voice pleasant, but not so much asking, as giving a strong suggestion. "You seem troubled."

As she finishes the request, the flesh golem is already speeding off, running into the main building, and hastily writing something down on a small chalkboard.

There's a brief moment of silence as the Chancellor considers his options. Doing nothing, just waiting and making polite conversation sound actually painful. However, given that he can't do much of anything given that he doesn't know where Cyrilla can be found, this is the most... logical, practical choice. Bah.

Kaelas finally nods, a trifle curtly. "Thank you. But perhaps just water or juice," he says slowly. Alcohol has little effect on him in anything but the greatest of quantities, but given his current temper... best not to risk it.

Giving Kyomi a rather more focused and aware look, he raises a hand. A shimmer of black light forms around the two of them in a five foot radius. "A light aural shield for privacy- noise can enter but not exit," he explains. "When did you last talk to your Director's assistant?" he in a tone closer to his normal polite directness.

Kyomi eyes the spell effect curiously, then replies with a shrug, "I honestly don't deal much with the woman. Being above her station, anything I want done can be ordered, though, I really just make sure our younger mages don't make sport of the wrong people."

She frowns thoughtfully then adds, "A few days I think. Passed her in a hall someplace. As usual she was looking overworked, but that really is all I can remember."

A moment later, her Bartender walks into the bubble, a tray in one hand. "My word... This would be handy in some of the private booths..." He hands Kaelas a glass of something red, with what looks like ice in it, "Juice for the Sir," And a smaller glass of something that is bubbling slightly, "And... What ever it was you mixed up last night."

He bows, then steps back out of the bubble.

Elsewhere, the flesh golem she had sent to find Cyrilla does in fact find her. Then, after presenting the hastily written note to her, picks her up, one hand to either side of her waist, and dashes back towards the gate, holding her in front of itself like some kind of trophy.

Kaelas takes the glass of juice with a murmured thanks, then studies it for a second. There's a very faint pulse of magic, almost absently sent, towards the glass to analyze it. "I see. And Director Nanashi? My... visit rather concerns him- I was simply directed towards Miss Cyrilla first."

"Put me down, meat bag," Cyrilla hisses under her breath, striving in vain to keep her dress straight. Her hair falls down in her face obscuring her neutral expression, the golem's hands remaining firm around her waist. She sighs and tries to endure the trip to wherever the golem is taking her.

The golem skids to a halt about ten paces from Kyomi and Kaelas, sets her down very gently, and offers her a brush from a little pouch at its hip.

After that, like any normal golem, it shambles off to its post at the wall and goes back to being a slack jawed sentry.

"Aha. There you are." Kyomi says after casually suppressing the bubble of silence, "Our guest is looking for you." She turns back to Kaelas.

Slightly amused at having his Craft suppressed like that, Kaelas reforms it larger so it includes whom he assumes is Cyrilla. "I received your message," he starts out without bothering with greetings. "And the timing of it... could be troubling. Yami- Chancellor Yamiko is also missing."

Cyrilla brushes the hair out of her face and draws her long curls over one shoulder in her preferred style. She fusses her dress straight and brushes off some dust, before nodding. "Director Kyomi," she says calmly, before turning to the guest.

She bows formally in greeting. "Chancellor Kaelas, I wasn't expecting you... so soon. My name is Cyrilla, I have the honor of being Director Nanashi's personal secretary. The Director has not been seen here for a few days, when the missive came from Miss Kuronue I wrote a reply to return with your messenger while I sent a flight construct to his workshop. When it returned without a reply, I went to his office and couldn't open the door."

She takes a deep breath and continues, "I had to summon a couple of guards to get it open, and had them sequestered when we found his office in disarray but otherwise empty. I told him, he should have-" She stops and shakes her head. "The timing could be more opportune given the circumstances."

A polite incline of the head is about all Kaelas is capable of in the way of polite gestures at the moment. "Indeed," Kaelas says evenly. "You don't seem... too upset by Nanashi going missing," he observes.

Cyrilla sighs and combs her fingers through her curls unconsciously. "I am not paid to be upset, I am paid to keep things running smoothly. The Director," she says with a side glare, "disappears more often than I would like, but he usually reappears in one piece. I will lecture him then."

"I'm too young to turn gray!" she wails, tugging her hair, before regaining her composure.

"And your service is without flaw and beyond reproach." Kyomi says with a smile.

"But what ever the problem, I'm sure I can manage in his stead. Meanwhile, I suppose I'll warm up the scrying pool and see if we can actually find him."

Kaelas sighs a little. If Nanashi goes missing often, then the possible connection he had suspected might be between the two vanishing leaders is likely a false hope.

"I see. I had... considered that the two disappearances might be related but perhaps not. Very well. If you hear anything, please send another courier. I shall do the same," he adds, rising to his feet. "Thank you both for your time."

"Related?" Cyrilla asks, confused. "No... they couldn't be. Could they... Last time I saw the Director, he was in the middle of trade negotiations with Hereti Corp. But then a day or two ago, they sent a message that the negotiations were cancelled, but they didn't say why."

"Two leaders of powerful clans going missing at the same time could easily have been related but in this case, perhaps not," he explains absently. Kaelas bows slightly to both ladies, mind already pondering his next steps. Hertai corp? Laiden... he should have done this first, but the message from OTAKU had worried him enough to change plans.

Briefly, Kaelas wonders if he should be so hopeful that Yamiko's vanishing isn't simply because she'd 'overnighted' with Magus Laiden. But after that... business with Coyble, he can't help but darkly wish that the answer isn't so... simple.

"Thank you both for your help," he adds before starting back towards the exit. "And the drink."

EDIT: Author's Note: 'Coyble' is Kaelas's way of referring to Coyne, the mostly dead, completely crazy, and long-MIA SM of MAGIER. Coy(ne)+(Kib)ble: Sir Kibble being Coyne's alter-ego (mule account) he used to court and seduce Yamiko way back when. It's said with... pretty much loathing and dislike. Not love at all, actualy.

Kyomi watches Kaelas go, then turns to Cyrilla.

"Something is wrong I think. Get some apprentices out on the streets for some rumor hunting, and send some messenger birds to the leaders of the other Clans. I'm heading to my den to use my scrying pool."

Kyomi turns takes one step towards the side door in the wall leading to her den, then stops and says, "Also, draft the documents needed for your raise, and pick an apprentice as your secretary. You know where to find me."

As the two leaders leave, a white cat teeters towards Cyrilla and meows in greeting.

She picks up the cat and scratches behind its ears. In an accusing tone, she says, "You've been begging the apprentices for drinks again, haven't you..." The cat flicks an ear and gives her a look as if to say certainly not, then snuggles against her chest. "Uh huh. Well, you're coming with me. You can help me with the paperwork."

The cat yowls and struggles weakly in her arms, before subsiding with ears curled back. Cyrilla returns to her office at a more stately pace than how she left it, nodding and saying a few words in greeting over the cat in her arms.
