There are children missing from the orphanage. The kids said it was sometime last night, but can't tell me exactly what happened. I need to find them.

Is there anyone out there who isn't affected or ...able to help?

[edit] There are a lot of people looking for them now. Thank you all. I'm sure we'll find them soon.

Yes?

pfffft

[redstrength]

What's your name?

[dubia_lux]

Ah-ah.

Case first, names later. Do you know which children in particular? Where they were last seen?

I need details. Of course if you will not tell me I am sure I can find out myself but cooperation makes things pass much more quickly. I am sure you agree.

...

It looks like James, Alessa, and Laura are missing. It happened sometime in the night because everyone here said they were gone when they woke up. I wasn't here last night.

[ooc; Hello, NPCs.]

[dubia_lux]

Is it likely that they sneaked out on their own or are there signs of someone breaking in?

[redstrength]

It doesn't look like anyone's forced their way in or out, but... these three wouldn't just up and leave either.

[dubia_lux]

Children can be troublesome and insubordinate by their very nature. Are you quite sure that they wouldn't do this?

[redstrength]

I'm sure of it.

[dubia_lux]

Of course. Were the doors locked last night?

[redstrength]

From what I can tell from the time I've been here, they usually don't lock them, in case children appear in the City at night. But it's usually only one door that's unlocked when it gets dark.

[dubia_lux]

And would the children know about this door?

[redstrength]

I don't think they would. They're.. really young. Maybe four or five years old.

[dubia_lux]

Then someone could have come in through said door and taken them as they slept?

[redstrength]

...It's possible. I was trying not to think of that.

[dubia_lux]

Three children. He would have had to come back, unless there was more than one kidnapper.

[redstrength]

More than one, God. Maybe... but there are some very powerful beings here, too. Maybe they could handle all three.
