[On the entrance of the apartments, there's a piece of paper that's taped to the door. It looks to be a note written in a child's handwriting. It reads:

]

[Thaaaaaat is pretty creepy. Alma spots the note as he's coming inside, a book under one arm and a perplexed expression on his face. Those four words have Libitina written all over them, and he can't help but glance around nervously in search of her.

... Yep, he should probably tell Yu about this.]

Re: action

[gatherstoys]

[She's probably around if Alma wants to look for her, but otherwise? Yup, she's trying to hide from her Master.]

Re: action

[alma_karma]

[He calls out her name tentatively, but unless he sees her? Yeah, he's not moving away from the entrance. Not just now.]

Re: action

[gatherstoys]

[She's around, just sort of hiding. Waiting to see who will see the note and to see if her Master will just kind of. come waltzing in looking for her in one of his quiet Moods.

But when it's starting to look like it's not the case, she'll poke her head out from the remains of the lobby desk, still a little timid about showing herself.

Pretty hard to miss how white she is, she practically glows.]

Re: action

[alma_karma]

[Alma starts when he sees that bright white poke into view, gripping the door frame of the entrance hard. There'll be cracks in it for the next person coming in to discover, but the boy pays the broken wood no mind.

Shocked as he is, he calms fairly quickly. It's been a very long time since he's seen Libitina in person. Had he ever seen her in person? He remembered her master lurking at the edge of his and Kanda's bed, but Libby...

It didn't matter.]

Libitina...?

Re: action

[gatherstoys]

[Libitina's always stayed home during the rare instances where her Master went out to do his intimidating thing. She didn't want to piss him off too much, rather prefers to dance that fine line, if she can.

If she can get to do it.

But she nods at Alma, confirming that she was really there.]

Re: action

[alma_karma]

[... Okay, Libitina's actually here. Alright.

Crap, now what?]

Um... is something wrong?

Re: action

[gatherstoys]

[Oh Alma. Didn't think ahead, did you, bitty?]

Libitina just hiding.

Re: action

[alma_karma]

[Of course he didn't. He's Alma. :|]

... From your master?

Re: action

[gatherstoys]

[Just as gung-ho as Kanda, bitty.

But, Libitina still gives another nod.] Uh huh...

Re: action

[alma_karma]

[He learned from the best, after all.]

He's a bad man.

[Action]

[doc_holi]

[What the hell is that?]

[Who is he?]

Re: [Action]

[gatherstoys]

[It's a note from Libitina! :D

Someone ought to be willing to explain, all Rebecca has to do is just ask!]

[Action]

[doc_holi]

.... What?

[And ask she shall as she glances around the immediate area.]

Re: [Action]

[gatherstoys]

[Good good, wouldn't want Rebecca to remain out of the loop. That wouldn't be fun for Libitina :c]

[Action]

[doc_holi]

[She looks around the area, feeling as if she's... being watched.]

Hello? [She's not scared.]

Re: [Action]

[gatherstoys]

[Oh, she's being watched all right. Though, Libitina's not sure yet if she should reveal herself from her hiding spot.]

[Action]

[doc_holi]

[Holiday looks around, then looks back to the sign, then looks about again.]

Hello? [She moves around a bit, thinking she might see the ghost girl there... Maybe not...]

[azrthmtrnznthos]

[Raven has taken to doing morning patrols...watching for signs of trouble from across the river, scouting out the city in case more buildings get restored. Cold, and lonely work, but it kept her busy. She came across the note, blinked, and then immediately started looking around.]

....Libitina? Are you still around?

[It had to be her...and she had to be referring to her master...Teutorix, was that his name? She'd go check her notes she'd gotten from Lavi. Maybe someone else had his originals. This could be helpful, especially if she could get more information from Libitina too. It'd...have to be done carefully though.]

[gatherstoys]

[She's around, just sort of hiding. Waiting to see who will see the note and to see if her Master will just kind of. come waltzing in looking for her in one of his quiet Moods. Though if his name was commonly known among the 'toys' is beyond her - she's only referred to him as 'Master' and Libitina knows his only encounters with those here were brief at most.

But when it's starting to look like it's not the case, she'll poke her head out from the remains of the lobby desk, still a little timid about showing herself.

Pretty hard to miss how white she is, she practically glows.]

[azrthmtrnznthos]

[Raven is waiting, stretching her senses out to try and find Libitina, or any other thing that might be there... When the girl does poke her head out, she offers a small smile. Trying to be friendly, even with her cowl up.]

You left this, right? About the old inhabitants here?

[Keeping her tone quiet too, welcoming. If she has to, if THEY have to, she'll see if they can find a way to protect Libitina, in exchange for information.]

[gatherstoys]

[Libitina stays where she is, neither getting closer nor backing up. Not yet, anyway.

But she still answers the question with a simple, timid nod.]

[azrthmtrnznthos]

[Raven is ok with that, she understands. Even for a ghost, she can feel the hints of anxiety from the other.]

It's ok...do you want to go inside? I'd...like to hear more, if you wanted to talk.

[Keeping it entirely clear that it is Libitina's choice. And Raven can ward her room, somewhat. Hopefully it'll be enough.]

[gatherstoys]

[Is that what she's feeling? Libitina's not too sure, she's been numb to emotions for so long, she forgets what most of them actually feel like.]

Libitina...should go back to Master.

[Raven probably wouldn't want to know where Libitina actually lives...]
