[public]
Red Mage has gone.  Even his beloved Quest Items are gone from the room.

[private, hackable to friends]
Hmph.  I am unsure whether I ought to feel relief or sorrow.  Though frequently an irritant, he was, after all, my roommate, and I suppose I could have been shackled with much worse.  Wesker, perhaps.  And, I further suppose, he may have

He was your roommate?

[thelostseraph]

Correct. I did my best not to advertise this fact.

[eccentricsniper]

Why is that?

[thelostseraph]

Red Mage was an . . . eccentric individual. Any display of seeming affection would have resulted in unfortunate consequences.

[eccentricsniper]

...Unfortunate? Such as?

[thelostseraph]

Lacrimation, prostration, insistence of soul-mate-hood, insistence of bosom friendship, transvestism, and/or unfortunate superglue incidents that never happened.

[eccentricsniper]

Oh my.

...Superglue? What is that?

[thelostseraph]

It is glue. Very strong glue. It never happened.

[eccentricsniper]

I... I see.

[thelostseraph]

In the end, of course, he was still my roommate and, I suppose, a friend.

[eccentricsniper]

It sounds like the two of you were quite close.

Would you like help dealing with his disappearance?

[thelostseraph]

Close? You assume too much. He was hardly an amicable individual, and I -- you have already reached the extent of my capability of 'friendship'.

[eccentricsniper]

Forgive me, I meant no insult.

[thelostseraph]

. . . You humans apologize too much. You should not regret the things you say.

[eccentricsniper]

You were human once, were you not?

*blink*

What a bizarre idea. There are no humans in my world. Only angels, sprites, and demons.
