[Vic's voice is a bit shifty, but he clears his throat first before asking.]

So, um... if someone's not listed anymore here on the ship, what exactly does that mean? Just wondering.

[Erik's still fairly new, but he's asked a lot of questions since his arrival. He's heard of this happening.]

Someone gone missing?

[voice] electromexican August 24 2011, 23:32:22 UTC

I don't know. Her name's not on the rosters or anywhere. She couldn't have just disappeared, right? [... Right?]

Re: [voice] magnetiferous August 25 2011, 00:43:09 UTC

I've heard it simply means they're gone. [he pauses] Though this doesn't mean you shouldn't still look.

Re: [voice] electromexican August 25 2011, 00:45:52 UTC

I could look around, maybe ask too. [Cautiously, oh so cautiously, optimistic.] But there are a lotta things "gone" can mean.

Re: [voice] magnetiferous August 25 2011, 05:43:07 UTC

And who exactly are you looking for? [As for that last part...] Indeed there are. Unfortunately, all definitions of the word are relatively useless if the end result is the same.

Re: [voice] electromexican August 25 2011, 19:30:34 UTC

A girl named Stephanie Brown. I haven't seen her around but I've been working on some stuff. [Besides, she's a cape, she's probably good at hiding and stuff.]

Yeah, that's true. It looks like anyone can just up and go from this place.

Re: [voice] magnetiferous August 27 2011, 06:07:15 UTC

A disconcerting thought, isn't it?

Re: [voice] electromexican August 27 2011, 22:49:07 UTC

It's like we don't have a choice. [Vic knows that feeling a little too well.] I mean, people just go without a warning. It... just sucks, you know?

Re: [voice] magnetiferous August 28 2011, 05:56:19 UTC

Maybe you'll see her again. It works both ways; unexpected departures also mean unexpected arrivals or reappearances.

Re: [voice] electromexican August 29 2011, 00:30:05 UTC

Hm. Makes enough sense, I guess. [Doesn't mean it still doesn't suck.] Just gonna have to wait and see what goes down.

Re: [voice] magnetiferous August 29 2011, 01:55:40 UTC

Even so, I believe this is the part where I offer my condolences.

Re: [voice] electromexican August 30 2011, 19:52:01 UTC

Yeah... thanks.

You haven't lost anyone yet have you?

Re: [voice] magnetiferous August 30 2011, 20:04:54 UTC

Someone from my world? No. I don't have the privilege of anyone else being here, sadly.

Outside of that? My list of acqaintences are short; I'm still new. [That's a no.]

Re: [voice] electromexican August 30 2011, 20:17:06 UTC

[And Vic's smart enough to catch that.] Right. Duh.

You're the only one from your world too, huh?

Re: [voice] magnetiferous August 30 2011, 20:22:00 UTC

Yes.

[A pause, but he then (somewhat) lightens the mood with his next dry comment]

Though you nearly count. You look like a mutant I know back home.

Re: [voice] LOL TY ILU electromexican August 30 2011, 20:25:50 UTC

I... do?

[...Great.]
