♕ |[45]| The mystery which binds me still;

[had_not_lived]

I was just... wondering...

I know there are a lot of curses going on this weekend, but-- has anyone heard from Justin Pendleton? I know that on Friday he was out in the Graveyard, digging... and I haven't heard from him since that evening. There were other people looking, too, weren't there? Are they okay?

...so that's why he stopped answering.

[had_not_lived]

Do you have any idea what happened?

[dreamsofnoah]

Nope! I was teasing him and then there was only static from his device.

[had_not_lived]

That's what I got, too-- just static. He said he'd found something and then-- nothing!

[dreamsofnoah]

Maybe he really managed to bury himself alive.

[had_not_lived]

Do you really think so?

I looked in the Hall, and-- nothing; and as far as I know no one's heard from him, and... I haven't been there to look, yet. I don't know if I can...

[dreamsofnoah]

I don't know, but I wouldn't put it past him!

We could go and search~.

[had_not_lived]

I'm... not sure I could take it. Going there.

[dreamsofnoah]

Going on my own is boring. He might be choking under the ground right now...

[had_not_lived]

He can't suffocate.

[dreamsofnoah]

Even if he doesn't need to breathe it doesn't mean he'll remember that if he panics.

[had_not_lived]

If he died, he'd have come back. If he'd left he'd be in the hall. If he'd gotten somewhere he would have-- even if he couldn't get to the Network he would have found some way to contact someone...

[dreamsofnoah]

Maybe he's trapped. Or kidnapped!

[had_not_lived]

By whom?

[dreamsofnoah]

How should I know?

[had_not_lived]

You're suggesting he's been kidnapped, if he was we'd need to know who did it to do anything about it. I thought maybe you'd have an idea.
