[Equius' voice is cracking and frantic with worry.]

Gamzee... come on, where are you? If you're playing Hide and Seek, you won, I can't find you! Where'd you go?

[Equius sounds completely exhausted, which shouldn't be surprising; he spent all last night and all of today searching the bubble for Gamzee.]

No, he didn't. I've looked everywhere, and I don't... I don't know where he is...

[VOICE]

[stayb100ponyboy]

Do you think I'm stupid?

[He's not so tired that there isn't some bite to that question.]

Of course I tried to call him, I've been calling him all night! He just... doesn't answer...

[stayb100ponyboy]

See? I told you! He doesn't pick up, he doesn't answer, it's just those sounds!

I can't reach Feferi, either...

[VOICE]

[stayb100ponyboy]

So Gamzee, Feferi, and Kanaya.

Whatever's going on, it's something serious.

[VOICE]

[stayb100ponyboy]

[Yeah, figuring out where their friends went is more important than bickering with Karkat.]

The last time I saw Gamzee, we were in the elevator together, coming back down to the bubble.

[VOICE]

[stayb100ponyboy]

I'm still looking, but I've checked all the usual places he'd be.

[VOICE]

[stayb100ponyboy]

I've been checking those too.

[In fact, he's headed towards the pond right now, considering how much both of them enjoy water.]

[VOICE]

[stayb100ponyboy]

Probably better you than me... I'd just end up wanting to punch him.

[Low growl.]

And if any of them are hurt because of this, I very well might.
