[There's the soft hum-buzz of an oxyacetylene torch, and then it PUFFS off.]

Fer those that knew 'im, Julian Keller's gone.

[The feed cuts as the torch is turned back on.]

Kid. Talk to me.

voice southernreaper August 27 2011, 16:28:50 UTC

His phone ain't connected no more. Tried t'call 'em, an' ask him if'n he was stayin' overnight. Don't know no more.

[There's still that hum-buzz of the torch in the background.]

voice ibreakrules August 27 2011, 17:01:13 UTC

Asked around? Checked his place for anything off?

voice southernreaper August 27 2011, 17:08:17 UTC

We live in the same house, so ain't much t'check. His uniform is gone, but that ain't unusual. He left work t'other night, an' didn't make it home.

voice ibreakrules August 27 2011, 17:15:43 UTC

Didn't make it home? Anywhere else he would have gone?

voice southernreaper August 27 2011, 17:16:52 UTC

Not without callin'.

voice ibreakrules August 28 2011, 01:32:49 UTC

So you think he's gone as in, totally gone.

voice southernreaper August 28 2011, 01:38:49 UTC

[The torch sputters out and there comes the soft clink of metal then a heavy sigh.]

Yeah, he's gone.

voice ibreakrules August 28 2011, 02:03:31 UTC

[He nearly mirrors that heavy sigh.]

You gonna be okay on your own today?

voice southernreaper August 28 2011, 02:17:59 UTC

[A soft snort, and there's the clang of more metal in the background.]

I don't mind m'own comp'ny.

voice ibreakrules August 28 2011, 02:43:42 UTC

Maybe not. But sometimes when you lose something important it's nice to just have another body around.

voice southernreaper August 28 2011, 02:45:19 UTC

[Oh that's a bitter laugh.]

The last thin' I need is another body 'round here. Or'd ya ferget?

voice ibreakrules August 28 2011, 02:51:24 UTC

Just because you could hurt someone doesn't mean you will, and it doesn't mean that you don't need someone there with you.

voice southernreaper August 28 2011, 02:53:32 UTC

Times like this? That's exactly what it means. Do better on m'own.

[He's actually being sincere. Having someone else around who isn't close to him is... disconcerting right now.]

voice ibreakrules August 28 2011, 02:56:39 UTC

Alright, I'm not going to push. If you need anything, let me know.

voice southernreaper August 28 2011, 02:58:20 UTC

More scrap's always welcome.

[He's trying to joke?]
