Who: Everyone!
When: Day 28, afternoon
Where: Apartment Sparkles, the door, as usual, is open
What: So, someone stole our moon and common sense. Guys. GUYS.

I went as far as everything has been cleared, and the gods have no tracking ability as far as Albinia knows.

I'm thinking of missing persons posters.

[HOLDS UP THE TWO SHEETS OF PAPER THAT HAD BEEN ON THE DOORS TO APARTMENT M AND T. They have been painted over and a vaguely abstract rendition of Rose Red and Chrono has been rendered on both. Rose is smiling brightly and Chrono is JUDGING.

Below is written in neat cursive Thusian:
MISSING
One tiny little fellow with purple hair, pointy ears and a fondly judging stare.
Likes ponchos and long suffering. Will not answer to Mr. Snugglekins but please try using that name anyway.
Occasionally may be taller than previously assumed.
Please notify the apartment with the sparkly rainbow door if you see him.

MISSING
One red headed young woman of average height and slender build, clothes are always neat and smiles often.
Might have silver hair and be a little hard to be around if you have a bit of metaphorical muddled in you.
Might also be noticeable if you like moons.
Please notify the apartment with the sparkly rainbow door if you see her.]

What do you think?

....

[Wait, what.]

It's uncertain still, my dear, and quite likely to be nothing. I recall at least one disappearance, the only one I know if, resolved nicely.

He...it was last night...

Given his responsibility I think he managed to get himself turned around outside.

I'm rather thinking that utilizing everyone with hunting skills will be to our benefit.

....

[Nope.gif, I AM HEADING FOR NATURE.]

[MY GOSH YOU FEEL HEAVY ALL OF A SUDDEN.] Just a moment, we haven't decided on a reward!

[ewahjoiewjaoiejw s-still trying to move, but is physically human so...that's not working.]

He might be missing...

Oh certainly. However, going out should be with a level head, fighters and some semblance of strategy, my dear.

But he could be dying!

'Could be' is a far cry from 'is', in terms of certainty. I prefer to have a little more faith in him. His strength is really quite impressive, and he has a fair sight more common sense than the rest of us.

NOT if he's still mad!

He wasn't. We spoke before dinner.

How can you be sure?

Because I must rely on things like tone and posture. He is not good at hiding his emotions, particularly the negative ones. They may weigh and smolder, but they are entirely there to see. He's also rational.. what good would it actually do you to stride off into the wilderness and attack anything that might have been so cruel as to damage you? Outside of that burst of passion.. what point would there be?

So you rush out now, with even less protection than our lady Natsume would provide... what comfort is it to him that you have been further injured, and now in his name?

It is a reflex, emotional and true to the depths of your affection for him... but should he be in danger, he will need you healthy, hale and able to aid him in healing.

But...

[But she can't lose him too.]

Faith in him, in us, and even yourself.

....

[What's having faith in myself?]

[The heavy feeling begins to lift gently.] With everyone it wont be long.

But he's....

[There is still longing to go out.] If he dies...

[No, okay, just sweeping you up into a hug.]

If it is so, we shall petition the gods upon his behalf.

[Oh god, no, don't hug me.]

But...but if he's dead....

I can't...he'll be hurt and suffering and...

And your mourning him before there's any truth or reason.

But if you're worried, it's for a reason, isn't it...?

I'm worried because they're not back. Not because they're in pain, suffering or dead.

But why wouldn't they be back otherwise?
