[paintitgray]

I can't find Rogue anywhere.

Has anyone else

[Pause, as her pencil rests on the page and she wonders if it's worth writing the rest of the sentence. Finally, she writes a question mark after "else" and leaves it at that.]

Comments

[handy_psychic]

Not yet.

[paintitgray]

Nobody on Melee has seen him.

[handy_psychic]

He could still be on the fourth floor.

[paintitgray]

Did he write anything in his journal? I didn't see anything, but...

[Peach flips back a bit. Yes, same name someone had mentioned as going missing. And not a name that inspires confidence, she thinks cynically. But this writer seems more distressed than that other one.]

Are you all right?

[OOC: Kurayami could find his blaster or coat somewhere, maybe?]

[paintitgray]

[The handwriting is unfamiliar, which puts her off a little from answering too honestly, but...it's a kind question.]

I don't know. Have you seen him?

[of_mindelan]

I don't think I've ever met anyone by that name, no.

[She chooses her words carefully, and though the letters she's inkbrushing onto the page are made slowly, they're also made plainly.]

Will you be all right? Maybe you should take some time off of whatever you do.

[paintitgray]

[These letters, in contrast, are written hastily.]

I'll be fine. I have to keep up the rent on the studio.

[weaver_girl]

Do you need help searching? [pause] Or maybe just someone to be with, for a while?

[paintitgray]

I don't

[Pause. Pentaps, then.]

I never drew him.

[weaver_girl]

Then you should, I think.

[paintitgray]

I don't think I can remember his face well enough.
