afternoon, pre-search

[mxpotatohead]

HEY y'all we just found a bike left about a mile out from the station and Colchester cops say a girl's missing, so if you been tossing your bike in a ditch on your morning triathlon better speak up now before it turns into a whole Thing. Cuz otherwise this ain't the BEST l

[stgermaine]

Well. Shit.

I'm calling the director.

[philomathean]

Thornton already knows. We'll be back soon to make a plan.

Do you know if Ernestine left anything at the station that might have her scent on it?

[stgermaine]

Right. Alright.

I don't know. Maybe her resume? I'll look around. She might have given Enoch or Crysta something.

[philomathean]

Don’t waste time looking if nothing comes to mind.

We need to get you to her bike as soon as possible. Where are you?

[stgermaine]

I'm walking as fast as I can towards where the search parties are gathering. I'll just join the first one that's ready to go out so I can reach it quickly.

[nolitangere]

Hey wait up, I’m right behind you.

[stgermaine]

Aha, I see you.

Annie, I'm going with Jack. I'll let you know what happens with the bike.

[OOC: Isaiah meets up with Jack, might stop responding for a while as he heads out with his Very Good search party.]

Jack

[philomathean]

Be careful, please! Ugh no. Big strong explosion guy. You’ll be fine.

[nolitangere]

Hey Annie, I haven't worn the shirt Ernestine made, and I haven't washed it yet, either. Maybe it still has her scent? It's on the shelf above my washer.

[philomathean]

You are so clutch. Thank you, Jack. I’ll go get it right now.

[nolitangere]

The first and last time I will be lauded for not doing my laundry.

Be safe!

[mxpotatohead]

[...] you could try sniffing the bike if you ain't got anything else

[philomathean]

Worth a shot.

[bubble_boy]

Did you guys speak to her when she was here? Do you think she'd run off and hide?

[stgermaine]

I don't think she's hiding. I think she's heading towards the rift.

[bubble_boy]

She's that stupid dumb [...] reckless?

[stgermaine]

Most teenagers are. And she has motivation on top of a difficult week.

[bubble_boy]

She's supposed to be smarter though, right? She was trying to get an internship here. That's just so God dammit. Well, we're going to have our work cut out for us regardless.

[coulee]

well that's off the fu table

[stgermaine]

We just have to intercept her. Hopefully she thinks better of it and this won't take more than an hour.

[coulee]

you got it. what d'you reckon her goal'd be, a lil science or a big trip?

[lenzpolzin]

why, though? not like she can reach it.

[stgermaine]

I don't know. Family matters. Personal pride. She lost someone to the rift. Maybe she's looking for answers, maybe she thinks if she becomes a liminal she'll get back the internship.

[rainbowfish]

She might have lost someone to the rift. We don't know what happened to him.

[lenzpolzin]

[...] fuck. yeah. plenty of reasons to do something stupid.
