seventh punt | voice (backdated to early this morning, around 6.30)

[heavyheels]

Oh, sheesh -

[chie's a little breathless from running, obvious from the way her heavy breaths cut into her words.]

Look - sorry if this wakes anyone up, but it's kind of an emergency. Has anyone seen Rock? I can't find him.

The robot is missing?

[He remembers seeing him around, other then that they didn't really talk much.]

Voice

[heavyheels]

He's not a robot, he's -

[yeah, kind of a robot, chie.]

Urgh, I think he's missing. He didn't show up for our Watch shift this morning.

Voice

[intotheinferno]

Have you checked his coft?

Voice

[heavyheels]

I just left. He's not there.

[andallforone]

Rock - you mean the little blue guy with the gun on his arm?

Goddammit! Why do these fae have to freaking mess around with everyone?

[heavyheels]

Yeah ... he's my Watch partner now, and he didn't show up today, and I can't find him anywhere! Urgh, do you really think the fae got to him? Should we make a search party?

[andallforone]

Okay, I'm guessing you checked his croft? How about up in the mountains? He goes up there, right? He said something about mining, once...

[heavyheels]

I already checked his croft. The mountains ... ? Oh, sheesh. But ... he knew we had a shift this morning!

[ The moment Kyouko sees this message, she just goes out - not even bothering to leave a reply. ]

[ Valeria reins in her anger at her initial thought that the fae are messing with their number in one way or another yet again, then starts the feed, her voice calm, tightly controlled, calculating, and anything but sleep riddled. ]

Have you checked his crofts? Were his belongings there? [ And she checks herself, withholding further questions. She doesn't want to overload Chie, after all. ]

[voice]

[heavyheels]

I just left there. I don't - I don't think there was anything there? I guess I was just looking for Rock, and I didn't see him.

[voice]

[a_la_turk]

If his possessions aren't there, it's likely he's been sent home. I'll send someone to check his croft. Is there anyone you can think of who is immediately available that can cover for him in the meantime?

[ Because she responded immediately as opposed to first running through the conversations already in play, she doesn't know Yosuke's got this. She quietly rubs her temples unseen. ]

[voice]

[heavyheels]

Yosuke's up ... he suggested going to check the mountains and see if Rock ran off to go mining or something.

He is no longer here.

[voice]

[heavyheels]

[chie actually comes to a halt in all her running around to stare at her screen for a minute before replying.]

You don't know that for sure.

[text]

[contract_this]

I know enough.

[voice]

[heavyheels]

Oh yeah? How do you know he isn't hurt, or kidnapped, or something like that?!
