You know, everyone's been freaking out over the fact that Dahlia's missing, and it is really bizarre. But you know, she's not the only one who's disappeared! Apollo said Trucy's missing, and apparently Asch is gone, too. And I haven't heard from Professor Layton in awhile

Anise. Haven't seen or heard from Cloud in a while. Kadaj. Could be others I've neglected to mention.

Don't know what's going on. Not feeling up to thinking about it right now.

[optimistickey]

Yeah, it sounds like there's all sorts of people who've gone missing for awhile! And Cloud wouldn't let himself get killed by something dumb like parasite crabs...maybe whoever's bringing us here doesn't have much control over who shows up or goes back!

[hellgun]

I had a theory. What if someone's testing how we fare without our abilities, and when they get enough information, we're just sent back? What if this is a game for them?

Shiva knows the monster would've just killed us all already. What if it's not supposed to?

[optimistickey]

But a bunch of the people brought here don't have any special abilities. What would they be trying to test with them?

...I don't think it's supposed to kill us all, either. If it wanted to, it could have a long time ago.

[halfthesky]

I guess that explains it as well as anything else, but we don't know they haven't just been eaten or something, right?

[optimistickey]

No, we don't know if the crabs got them or something...but some people, like Cloud, should be able to defend themselves against the crabs. I just don't wanna think that could've happened to everyone...

[halfthesky]

'Should' isn't the same as 'always will'. Maybe they got unlucky. It might not even be crabs, anyway. Manhattan is a big place.

[optimistickey]

Maybe...but it seems weird that all of them would've been gone and not been able to make a post asking for help! Even if people haven't been able to fight off the crabs, at least you can outrun them!

True, and hey, Aang disappeared, and now that he's back he doesn't quite seem to recognize me. And wasn't there also that girl with the white hair and the face tattoos? I don't see her around anymore, and she really didn't seem the type to just die somewhere.

Considering what Dahlia did, it'd probably be in her best interest to lie low, too.

[optimistickey]

Didn't Red disappear for awhile and then come back not knowing what had happened? It just gets weirder the more you think about it.

Yeah, but...wouldn't she tell the people she was working with where she was going? Even her own sister doesn't seem to know...unless she wanted Marluxia to blame Wolf!

[halfdarkened]

Yeah, and several people have disappeared and come back later without any memory of what happened to them. Like you.

...If she doesn't like Wolf, that would make sense. Although might Marluxia stab her in the back if it were in his own best interests? He did betray the Organization.

[optimistickey]

Yeah, there's that too. Although that hasn't lasted longer than a few days at a time...unless they're making people disappear for longer for some really bad reasons.

I know she doesn't like him 'cause he attacked her accidentally! Marluxia might stab her in the back, but Dahlia may not know that! ...Or maybe they're both looking to double-cross the other.
