[mulletrock]

[Dean's pretty frigging worried but he's trying to stay cool about it and part of playing that game is not to alert the other people that might figure out how to read between the lines, know his silent cues, or will add to the drama themselves.

Sure, he'll pay for it later but right now keeping it from the rest is necessary.]

[Filtered away from everyone in his cast he can possibly think of but hackable.]

has anyone seen Mary Winchester?

she's been gone longer than usual and she's not picking up her phone

I'd like to think she's out having a good time but it's not like her to shirk parental duties so I have to play the role of the good samaritan and ask

How long is longer than usual?

[mulletrock]

she usually makes it home before dark, and if she's running late she'll call or something

[doctor_mccoy]

I'll check the records and make sure she didn't end up here.

[Shit. No. This is not a good time.]

Dean. When's the last time you saw her?

audio;

[mulletrock]

Yesterday. I was holdin' out hope she might be with you or someone else.

audio;

[unluckyinlove]

Crap. Hold on--

[She takes a deep breath and tries calling Mary's phone. After a minute, she responds to Dean again.]

Okay, her phone's still connected. That's a really good sign. I'll have Gabriel comb the city for her.

Mary's missing?

[He doesn't often fall back on text, but this? .... This is not okay. Absolutely unacceptable.

If he'd met her at another time, when he'd been spinning around through time and space in a little blue box, he'd have invited her into the TARDIS, would have shown her the worlds out there, the future, the past...

Even stuck here, he's come to think of her as a companion. Someone he'd be honored to travel with.

And no one touches his companions.]

trying not to jump the gun on it

hopefully she's just out having a good time

[universaljanitor]

She one to party?

[For some reason, that thought has him amused more than anything else]

If you're worried enough about her, I can help search. Have a bit of experience in finding people.

Keep me updated. Anything you find. Mary and I are... friends.

[He really doesn't mean to sound so sketchy, sorry Dean. He just has a thing for blondes]

[hostage]

She was supposed to meet me this morning. She never showed.

[ text ]

[mulletrock]

guess that gives me more of a time frame

why was she meeting you?

_{[See, here's the thing about Syrena - she can't read. That doesn't mean she doesn't realize that post, whatever it is, comes from Dean. He had promised that he'd visit again, but he hadn't. There was supposed to be pie too, but there wasn't. Needless to say, she's a little disappointed. There's half a fish skewered on a sharp finger as Syrena peers at her NV, chewing slowly the other half she had in her mouth before swallowing.]}

You promised you would visit.

[Dean's not sure he wants to get into it with the mermaid right now but after talking to some of the others he's a little more stressed about his mom disappearing than he was when he first put out the message.]

I'm a lil' busy right now. [You can see the irritation on his face.] But I'll bring you your friggin' pie when I have this all figured out.

[whycantistay]

I haven't seen or talked to her in awhile. It doesn't sound like her though.

[She offers a nervous smile.] It's good to see you.

[mulletrock]

[Dean looks reasonably more stressed out than in some of his other feeds now that it's obvious she's actually gone.]

It's not. I was hopin' she took some initiative and went out t'have some fun.

[He doesn't mention that the flu bug killed him.]

Glad to see you back on your feet.

Did you filter this, dude?

[mulletrock]

don't know what the point is when people hack them anyway

yeah

didn't want to cause a commotion until I knew for sure

[longaevus]

When did you last see her?

[mulletrock]

Yesterday.

[where_the_hearth_is]

This was her last appearance on the network.

I am searching.

[mulletrock]

[Well the whole power thing is new. He's never seen her do that so he's immediately concerned.]

Thanks House.

Keep up the good work.

[athermercy]

No, I haven't seen her -- When did you lose contact?

video;

[mulletrock]

[At this point Dean just looks tired. He remembers you from one of his older feeds so he's okay keeping the video on.]

Long enough.

[inthejunk]

Sm1 yr rltd to?

[mulletrock]

[It takes him a while to read that. He doesn't know enough about texting to get the acronyms. He actually winds up asking Ben.]
