There seem to have been a lot of disappearances lately.

[This statement is obvious enough, given all the "Missing" posters that have been seen around lately.]

Has anyone else noticed a feeling of being watched? I dismissed it at first, but in the last day or so it's felt... worse. More focused.

[And if nothing else she is very good at sensing

I've noticed the feeling I was being watched too. Be careful yourself, Lieutenant.

[firebornfidelis]

You haven't been able to see who it was, have you, Edward?

[braided_icarus]

Me? No. But I gotta say I'm getting curious myself, now.....

[firebornfidelis]

I am, too. Though I'm fairly sure this can be nothing good.

Getting a bad feeling like this in Anatole is very nearly a guarantee that something terrible is about to happen.

We're being hunted. All of us.

[It's not that wild a guess, given all the evidence.]

Let's see if we can't flush them out first.

[firebornfidelis]

Hunted.

[Sadly, this is something like the conclusion that she's come to.]

Are you planning something?

[hebime]

Bait and switch. They seem to like picking on solitary targets. One person could draw them out and the rest could give them more than they bargained for.

Who's your backup?

[popparazzi]

You realize that that warning applies to yourself as well, Lieutenant.

[firebornfidelis]

Of course, sir. But I thought it wise to warn everyone, in case it is worse than it seems.

[popparazzi]

A wise move.

Unfortunately, I have a feeling it probably is worse then it seems.

[firebornfidelis]

It usually is, sir.

[ignite_the_sky]

I suggest heeding your own words, Lieutenant. [Because if he has to deal with another downpour over something that could have been avoided with the proper precautions, he will not be pleased.]

[firebornfidelis]

And I suggest you don't go out alone, sir. At least not for the time being.

[As both his bodyguard and his significant other, she wouldn't be able to forgive herself if something happened to him again.]

[ignite_the_sky]

I assure you, I will be perfectly fine.

[Alone or in the presence of another, who's to say, but he has no intention of sitting idly by.]

[firebornfidelis]

Colonel.

[This is the sound of her voice when she doesn't want to get in an argument but she will if she has to.]

I hope you're not planning to do anything foolish.

[swordofmiltia]

I expect they are being proper kidnappers.

[ He hopes that is what's happened, anyway. ]

Be careful.

[firebornfidelis]

There are so many missing posters. I have to wonder why, if they are kidnappers, they want to take so many.

[swordofmiltia]

The same could be said if they were murderers. Were they Scorched, most would simply assume that it was the Door, but these are Natives. Have they been known to disappear before?

[firebornfidelis]

Not to my knowledge. And definitely not in this kind of quantity.
