[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?

[After taking note of a couple of worrisome posts over the network, Aqua can't help but to reach out towards this particular one...]

Do you need any help? Perhaps I could be of assistance.

[voice]

[stayb100ponyboy]

[Equius doesn't recognize the voice, but he'll take any help he can get right now. There is no place for highblood pride when his dear one is missing.]

Have you seen a troll anywhere? Tall, long horns, indigo symbol on his shirt, probably honking?

[voice]

[lux_permanet]

[A... troll? She wasn't particularly familiar with what a troll was but now wasn't the time to ask him. Especially with how worried he sounded. Besides, the features he described his friend having would make it rather easy to pick out the missing troll from a crowd.]

No... I'm sorry, I have not but I will keep an eye out for him. [A pause.] When did you last see him? And have you tried contacting him with the communicator?

[voice]

[stayb100ponyboy]

I've been trying, but he doesn't answer his communicator, all I get are weird sounds.

I last saw him in the elevator...

[voice] 1/?

[lux_permanet]

...

[Elevator... the Halloween dance. Oh no.]

Could you... give me just a moment? I'll respond right back. I need to make sure of something.

[Her transmission to the other young man is cut off as she tries to connect with Riku.]

Riku? Are you there?

[All she hears is static and an eerie sound, like a moan before it cuts out.]

... Riku!

[lux_permanet]

[When she finally responds back to the young man, her voice shakes slightly before clearing her throat.]

The last time you saw him... was it after the Halloween dance? Just before the storm hit?

[voice]

[stayb100ponyboy]

Yes.

Are you missing someone too?

[voice]

[lux_permanet]

... I am. Have you possibly seen a young man who wears a long, black coat with a hood? He also wears a black blindfold over his eyes... goes by the name of Riku?

[voice]

[stayb100ponyboy]

I haven't. But I'll keep my eyes open while I'm looking, okay? You look for mine, I'll look for yours?

[voice]

[lux_permanet]

Thank you so much. And the second I hear of or see your friend, I'll call you.

By the way, my name is Aqua. I wish we could have met under better circumstances...

[voice]

[stayb100ponyboy]

Thanks, I really appreciate it.

I'm Equius.

[voice]

[lux_permanet]

Equius. For now, we'll keep looking... but... we need to get back on that island. I can only hope that storm passes soon.
