No clues as to his whereabouts, or if he's even alive. All of the stuff he'd usually take with him if he was going somewhere was left at home. Signs point to some sort of kidnapping, but there's no evidence supporting it. He just, vanished.
Asuka doesn't think anyone is taking this harder than Cookie is. Maybe Autumn, but it's a little hard to tell with her sometimes. Of course, all of his family and friends are worried sick, but it's especially hard for Cookie. She's already lost both of her birth parents. Potentially losing her now-father too is... it's too cruel for a girl so young.
She had to be pulled out of school early today. Around 12, just before lunch, Cookie broke down in her class, and just wouldn't stop. After her grandmother swung by to pick her up, she dropped Cookie back off with her aunts. Ever since then, Asuka has been doing everything she can to comfort her niece.
Now, Cookie has tuckered herself out. After an early dinner, Asuka tucks the little girl into bed, then climbs into her own bed in the same room to read for the night. She wants to make sure she's right there, in case Cookie needs her. Maybe tomorrow, she and Hiari can talk with Autumn about that idea they came up with. #rp
Asuka likes to remind her more rowdy patients that while doctors take an oath to do no harm, she wasn’t required to do so. If you try to hit her, she’s going to arm-bar you until you stop.

View MoreIt's been two days since Nar went missing, and there hasn't been any progress in the police investigation into his whereabouts. As far as everyone can tell, he just completely vanished the night before his birthday. His family is hopeful though. Similar situations have happened before, and Nar has always made it back safe. They may not know where he is, but they have faith he'll find his way back.
There's a more pressing matter at hand though. The family trusts Autumn to take care of Cookie on her own, but Cookie feel uncomfortable in her own home at the moment. After some discussion, Cookie has decided to stay with her aunts for the time being. Originally, they wanted her to stay with her grandparents, but Cookie doesn't want to be near her house right now. Of course, both Asuka, and Hiari, and their parents have extended the offer for Autumn to stay with them if she wants.
The guest bedroom has been converted into a bedroom for Cookie. Giving her a place where she can have some privacy. Hiari has managed to get some extended family leave in order to look after Cookie so Asuka can continue to work. Tonight, however, Asuka has the night off. After a nice dinner, a bath, and a bedtime story, Cookie is put to bed, and Asuka is left as the only member of the house still awake.
Well into the night, as Asuka is getting ready to go to sleep herself. The room is bathed in dim light from her bedside lamp. It provides just enough light for her to read the novel she's been reading for the past week. A few pages before bed have proven quite effective in helping her get to sleep.
The soft pitter patter of feet from the hallway pulls Asuka's attention towards the door. The footsteps stop just in front of her bedroom door. Shortly followed by a few soft knocks, and her niece's voice. "Auntie?" Even through the door, Asuka can hear how shaky Cookie's voice is. "Come in. Cookie." Asuka calls. The door slowly opens, and little Cookie shuffles into the room, visibly shaking. Instantly, Asuka slides out of bed, scooping Cookie up into her arms. She closes her door with her foot as she turns around to head back to her bed. "Oh, sweetie. What's wrong?"
Sitting on Asuka's bed together, Cookie tells her aunt about a nightmare she just had. She says she had a nightmare about a monster that came into her room at her house. She says that the monster looked like her papa, but she knows it wasn't her papa. It looked older than her papa, and look really mean.
For some reason, Cookie's description of her nightmare stirs memories in Asuka's mind. Jumbled up pieces of trauma that slowly piece together to form proper memories. When the realization hits, her blood runs cold. She's talking about him. It HAS to be, but why would Cookie be having a dream about him? She's never even heard of... that THING before. The implications are almost too much for Asuka. Though, she doesn't let her horror show. She needs to comfort Cookie, and children are really good at picking up on emotions.
That night, Asuka sleeps with her niece beside her, and a handgun under her pillow. #rp

She, Juno, and Hiari have been planning a big day trip to Canterlot to celebrate. There's a restaurant there claiming to have the spiciest food that can legally be sold, and Nar has been wanting to go there for MONTHS. Why he didn't go during the boys weekend trip to Canterlot a few weeks ago, they do not know.
Anticipation builds as Asuka makes preparations for the day. Juno should be coming by in the band's van to pick her, and Hiari up soon. Then, they're going to grab Nar, and head to Canterlot. She can't wait to see how red Nar's face gets when he starts eating later!
"Asuka." Hiari's voice calls from the hallway of their one story home. Asuka turns to see her sister stood in the entrance to the living room. Her face is serious. "Dad just called. Nar is missing." The words hit Asuka like a truck. Missing? She has no doubt her parents aren't just overreacting here. They probably went to visit this morning, and he wasn't there. They would have tried to call him afterwards. Besides, Autumn, and Cookie would be home too, so they'd know better than anyone if Nar was missing.
"Have they filed a missing persons report?" Are the first words out of Asuka's mouth. Hiari simply nods. At this, Asuka lowers herself into the living room's recliner. She needs some time to think. First, though, she needs to text Juno, and let him know.
What was that saying Nar likes to say from time to time? "We Yakushi siblings are a little too familiar with trauma." or something? Sol, she hates how right he is about that. #rp

Doubly so for the Rabble's Gully rock club. All around Asuka, adults, young, and old stand, or sit conversing, drinking, and eating crummy club food. The stage at the back of the club sits empty, save for a few guitars, a bass guitar, a drum set, and some microphones, set up for open mic night.
Sat across the booth Asuka is sitting at is sheriff's deputy Marks. A young stallion, only a year younger than her, and her date for tonight. He cuts a fine, fit figure, complete with jeans, black boots, and an ACDC T-shirt. His five-o-clock shadow freshly touched up to help keep that 'gruff lawman trying to look cool' look. Asuka sports a similar outfit, but not quite as casual. She sports a black, slightly loose dress that stops just above her knees, with black stockings to cover the rest of her legs, and a comfortable pair of flat black pumps.
The date has been going fairly well so far. Nothing much of note. The two have mostly been swapping stories about calls they've been on, with Asuka being very careful not to get into any of the more intense stories she has. After one that gets a liiiiitle too close to being uncomfortable, Asuka suggests the two hit the dance floor for a little bit.
As if that's their cue, a group of 4 men make their way onto the stage. Asuka pays them no mind at first. She's more focused on her date. It's only once the two find a good spot that she manages to take a closer look at the group now setting up on stage.
No. WAY.
Why are THEY here?!
Stood on the stage, checking the various equipment are Juno, Nar, Roy, and someone she's never met before. All dressed in their concert attire. Her gaze meets Nar's for the briefest of moments, and he gives her a wink. The group gives no introduction. Once they're ready, they immediately launch into their performance.

With the introduction of live music, the once sparse dance floor suddenly fills with a flood of patrons. Despite this, Asuka and her date manage enough room for some dancing. Neither of the two are particularly fancy, or good at it, but Marks seems to be enjoying himself. Asuka, on the other hand, is being fairly reserved with her moves. Not wanting to weird out her date. However, as the performance continues, Asuka questions herself internally. Should she stay reserved in hopes of not scaring of Marks? Or should she just be herself? After all, would she want to date someone who doesn't like her for who she is?
In the end, the latter argument wins out. Asuka goes from little side shuffling, and hip twisting, to full on headbanging thrashing. Her hair whips through the air, sweat trickling down from her forehead onto her dress. She gets so wrapped up in her moves that she doesn't notice Marks' reaction at first.
After their first song, the boys on stage launch into some of Attack on Mango's early songs. Ones from their grunge era, before they moved to Vanhoover. REAL crunchy stuff! Hell yeah! This is Asuka's kind of music!
At some point during the set, Marks says something to Asuka, but she can hardly hear him over the sounds around her. He repeats himself. Saying something about going to grab a drink.
Asuka does not see him for the rest of the night.
Whatever, poser. Asuka's gonna stay, and rock the night away! She can always find someone else who can match her energy! #rp

Bodily fluids coat the office the man is laying inside. He, and a poor, unfortunate bank teller just as coated as the desk, and walls. The fire department's special operations unit is on their way to assess the situation, but one thing is clear. Asuka's ambulance is going to be the one taking this young man to the hospital.
A hand claps Asuka's shoulder, pulling her out of her stupor. She turns her head to see Officer Spurs giving her an apologetic smile. "Good luck."
She's gonna have to shower 10 times after this. Probably have to use a whole bottle of shampoo, and body wash too. #rp
“We used to call doing stuff like that ‘doing it for the Vine’ a while back. Still just as stupid now as it was back then. Now please lay back down on the stretcher before you make my job harder.”

Featuring the four current members of the band as playable characters. Asuka, Nar, Juno, and Scrappy, all voiced acted by themselves. On top of that, Attack on Mango has done all the music for the game. There are also unlockable characters in the form of former band members, Ruby, and Roy. As well as planned DLC to add Ryuji, Steeltrap, and Sapphire from Dragonautica as playable characters.
A few of the band's friends make cameos in the story, or as background characters. Some, such as Steve, and Artuo even have functioning shops in the form of their restaurants/bars. The story itself is fairly simple, as is expected of most beat 'em up's. Big bad CEO launches a product that brainwashes Vanhoover, so Attack on Mango and friends set out to stop him, and blah blah blah. It's a beat 'em up. You're not playing it for the story.
Asuka and her bandmates are currently in the process of trying to complete the story before they move to 100% it. With everyone off of work tomorrow, and Cookie spending the night at her grandparents, there's a good chance they're about to pull an all-nighter. #rp
