[Vic's voice is a bit shifty, but he clears his throat first before asking.]

So, um... if someone's not listed anymore here on the ship, what exactly does that mean? Just wondering.

Maybe...

[Rikku knows very well what it means. So the pause? Well, she's just trying to decide whether being straight forward will hurt less or if she should keep him hoping. There's always room for hope, but sometimes- sometimes even if there is room you don't want to open the door and let it in.]

[Vic can tell she's hiding something. He's sort of used to it from being around the other guys.] Maybe what?

[whosyour_rikku]

You know... well, it could mean a number of things.

[Voice]

[electromexican]

Yeah and that's really why I don't like it. This ship's already insane and then this kind of thing doesn't really help.

[whosyour_rikku]

Have you gone out, y'know, and looked for whoever it is you're missing?

[Voice]

[electromexican]

Not yet, but I will soon. I got pretty caught up with working on some stuff so I hadn't had the time to check the rosters.

You don't mind telling me their name, d'you? You know I don't mind helpin' to look. [Guilt, guilt, guilt. :<]

Her name's Stephanie Brown. Blonde hair, blue eyes, athletic-looking.

When'd you notice she was missing from the network list?

[Voice]

[electromexican]

Just today. I really don't know if she's been gone longer than that.

[Voice]

[whosyour_rikku]

Well, keep your chin up, okay? You never know 'til you know, so, promise you'll do that.
