[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?

Please calm yourself, young one. Growing panicked will not help matters at all. Please take a breath and tell me what has happened.

[Her voice is really soothing, and Equius does calm down a fraction.]

We... we were up on the surface, for the Halloween party, and when it started storming, we took the elevator back down. He was right there, but when the elevator stopped, he was.. he was gone! And I've been looking and looking for him and I can't find him!

[ She pauses for a moment; that is very strange, but perhaps the boy is not remembering things clearly. She knows the night was a bit of a blur for her due to that strange human punch. ]

Equius, are you absolutely positive of what you say? The two of you entered together but he was not present at the end? Is there no way you may have entered without him and merely overlooked the fact?

[stayb100ponyboy]

No, he was with me! He was... he was holding my hand on the way down...

[Please to be ignoring how his voice cracks, just a little, on the end of that sentence.]

[ Unlike a certain descendant of hers, she has tremendous experience swallowing her own fretting for the sake of others. So, while concerned, she keeps her voice confident. ]

Do not weigh yourself down with so much fear; I know intimately how durable one of his blood is, so wherever he may be I believe he is safe. Nevertheless, we should look together, along with however many friends you can ask to assist.

You'll help me?

It's not... it's not him I'm worried about...

[He might not have been here for Gamzee's last break with reality, but he's heard enough stories to know that nothing good comes of it.]

[sufferrogate]

Of course I will help, assuming you would be so kind as to accept my offer. I would be remiss if I were to not offer my assistance to you and Gamzee.

[ She says nothing about the other comment. She knows what a Subjuggulator can do and how unbalanced their minds are. ]

[Awwwww, Mamarosa...]

Thank you. Thank you so much. I'm just... so worried about him...
