voice; a sad announcement

[lasergrenades]

[There is silence when the broadcast starts, interrupted only by several shaky breaths like whomever is there is trying not to cry. In making this announcement, Pepper is conceding to the reality of loss that has confronted her for four days. Her voice is small and full of sorrow when she finally manages to speak.]

Bakura's-- gone.

[They both knew they were living on borrowed time, that inevitably one of them would be bereft of the other. That doesn't make the grief any less painful. He's dead in his home world, and he may not come back as her Bakura if he ever returns.]

If-- if anyone sees him-- tell him to come home.

[OOC note: Fear not! Bakura is on Dreaming walkabout and will be back. Pepper of course does not know this.]

What does he look like?

[said rather like the asker does not realize just what 'gone' means in this context.]

[Neither the voice nor the user information are recognizable to Pepper. It's some time before she sends a photo. Looking through pictures of him is difficult right now.]

He's... hard to miss.

[White hair notwithstanding, Bakura has a definite Presence.]

Probably won't be smiling, though.

[White hair, red eyes, probably not smiling--Antarcticite makes note of each trait. This fellow does not seem overly different from a gem.]

I'll see if I can find him, and will message you if I find anything.

[Pepper shakes her head and then remembers she can't be seen. Trying to elaborate that Bakura has vanished from Aifaran and gone back to his world just makes her chest tight. When she's in a slightly better frame of mind, she will probably tell Antarcticite that the search is fruitless and do something to make up for their efforts.]

That's-- thanks.
