[typhlopid]

[A voice that is usually calm and refined seems to be struggling to remain so this morning.]

...My sister, Clover, has disappeared. You might know her as that pink-haired girl.

It is not a prank. She would not do that to me. Messages sent to her NV promptly bounce. [He also can't sense her presence, far more disturbing overall. And knowing what she must be going home to--]

If I find someone has taken her, if something has happened, there will be no end of hell for those responsible. [It is a coldness, a preciseness that can only be managed by true loathing: Clover has been stolen from him before, and anyone who dares to do it again will pay.]

PRIVATE to Re-l Mayer || minimum security

I suppose this is where I ask to file a missing person report. [After a moment of hesitation.] I may require assistance in doing so.

[buttwombs]

Oh Snake... I hope you find her soon.

voice;

[typhlopid]

...She is gone, Norio.

voice;

[buttwombs]

Huh? You're sure?

voice;

[typhlopid]

...Unfortunately, I am. [Very descriptive, but he's still hesitant to explain his telepathy to others, and to talk of his strong link to his sister is almost painful to consider.]

I appreciate your attempts to assure me nonetheless.

voice;

[buttwombs]

Ah.

Um, well, if there's anything you need...

action --> text

[hejhej]

[Seeing there's a private message to a Re-l, her curiosity gets the best of her. After a minute or so, she's cracked open the message. A missing persons report?]

I hope she is okay.

[typhlopid]

[Snake can't be bothered with the finer functions of his NV right now, and replies in the manner easiest to him.]

Thank you. [A pause.] While she would not be returning to a safe place in our timeline, it is my hope that she did come to harm here.

[madeinoblivion]

Clover...


She's a really nice girl. I've only talked to her a few times before- but she'd be able to sent like.... like a mind message or something, if she was in trouble and lost the NV... right?

I'm sorry...but I guess- I'm sorry. I'll help keep an eye out tor her.

[typhlopid]

[Right, Snake remembers that Clover had tested her abilities on this boy.]

--Typically, if I reach out to her at all, I can sense where she is, what she is doing, even see from her eyes. I cannot sense her at all, not even the slightest sliver of her presence.

[madeinoblivion]

Then she's...probably gone home?

[typhlopid]

So far, that is what all the evidence suggests. Yet I hope I have, for once, been incorrect in my hypothesis.

[Voice]

[soldierfirst]

Have you looked for her, and do you wish assistance in so doing?

[Voice]

[typhlopid]

I have visited most of her haunts, as well as spoken to her professors and a few classmates. [He neglects to mention he also 'checked' the minds of those who would usually encounter her, and found no signs.]

But... it could not hurt to widen the search. I may have missed some detail.

[Voice]

[soldierfirst]

I will look myself then. I'm a military man; I am trained to spot details that others overlook.

[Voice]

[typhlopid]

[His voice is stiff, overly formal.]

Thank you. Please alert me of any findings.

[awakenings]

Yes, that's right.

[And she's not the only one who may have disappeared today.]

I can give you assistance in filling it out if you come down to the station. I'll be sending people out to look for her the moment we have a thorough description and where she was last seen.

voice | encrypted

[typhlopid]

As far as I know, she has not gone anywhere since she went to bed last night in the dorm she shares with me.

[A pause. He has spent some time with her and likes her well enough, and the faith Diego puts in her also places her high in his esteem.] I have investigated as thoroughly as I am able, as a telepath. I can no longer sense her presence nor communicate with her, and no one I have questioned about her has seen her today.

[excellentviolet]

Snake... if there's anything you need that I can offer...

[He realizes that a search might be futile, and knowing that Snake had lost the person closest to him... it's all he could do. And he's quite upset about it as well. Clover was such a charming young woman and he had high hopes for her.]

... I hope she is alright.

Voice | Private - Unhackable

[typhlopid]

I do not believe that she is.

I... cannot leave the dorm, right now, when she may return.

[He can't bring himself to ask Lee to visit him. After all, they are not really dating, are they?]

Voice | Private - Unhackable

[excellentviolet]

[Lee's sure that they're not really dating but... it doesn't mean he can't be someone who cares.]

Would you need any company?

Voice | Private - Unhackable

[typhlopid]

I do not require company, no. [He arrived here without Clover, he can survive without her as well. He is not so weak, he is not dependent on anyone, even her, so he doesn't need--!]

I do not expect you to sit by my side and feign sympathy over a girl you hardly knew. I understand that you feel obligated, but I release you from it.

[His words miss the bite they normally carry. There is a softness beneath their sharpness, somehow.]

[inthejunk]

Uh. You're sure?

[typhlopid]

[He is calm, neutral.] I am, Yosuke. All evidence suggests see is gone from Siren's Port completely.

[inthejunk]

Oh...

[Jeez, what do you even say to that? It's worse than a friend or a cute girl going missing. This is her brother. That has to be pretty rough.]

Uh. Sorry to hear it.

[You're probably supposed to say anything but that. Even if it's true-he is sorry to hear it- you're supposed to think of something more helpful. Instead, he bites his lip and frowns.]

eeep sorry i missed this

[typhlopid]

It is kind of you to say, Yosuke. She thought you were cute, you know. I was trying to push her to ask you on a date.

She always deserved... so much more.
