[Teddy looks worried and upset when the feed starts and he stares down at his feet for a long moment before finally looking right at the screen.]Hey everyone, it's been awhile. I'm probably just getting worried about nothing but I haven't seen Billy around for awhile. And as some of you know he's...well he hasn't been up to wandering around lately

[Blaine is very worried by this news, considering the state Billy was in the last time he saw him over the nv.]

He's missing? I'll definitely keep an eye out for him. [after a pause, because Blaine once again is reminded that he's actually pretty useless in this world, where there are monsters and people disappear] Are you... his boyfriend? [Because hey he's interacted with Billy before but not Teddy.]

[all_sweetheart]

Yeah, I haven't seen him since the day before last. And he hasn't answered any of my messages to him. He usually stays in contact.

Uh, yeah, I am. Teddy Altman. I don't think we've met.

[mediumdrip]

I'm Blaine. [pause, still clearly concerned but also not really sure what he can sad] He wasn't okay the last time I saw him on this network.

[all_sweetheart]

It's nice to meet you.

[He shakes his head.]

No, he wasn't. That's why I'm worried. This isn't like him at all.

[Scratches his head]

I guess I'll keep an eye or two open for him, but are you sure he's not in the mall? I know how you ladies love to go shopping and all.

[Have a glare aimed at you.]

He's not. And I guess asking you to be serious would be like asking a infant to do algebra. Look, just tell me if you see him okay?

Re: Video.

[Brushes off the glare with a casual wave of the hand]

You know, if you follow the news, the infant doing algebra is quite possible. [Pointed out matter-of-factly] So thats a fail on that retort, just so you know.

As for your loverboy, I'll do a sweep of Sector 10 for him, I've been told there is quite a party in there. If I see him, I'll bag and tag and bring him back to the house.

[A brief pause] Like alive and all, just so we're clear.

[He shakes his head and sighs. He is really lacking the patience to deal with Deadpool right now.

Fine. And....thanks, I guess.

[He didn't think he'd ever say that to Deadpool but then again, he never really thought of Deadpool as being helpful.]

[God, if Billy goes, she's not sure she can handle Magneto. Hell, she's not handling Magneto now. If he loses another grandson, she doesn't know what she'll do.]

Have you tried his phone, Teddy? I know it sounds stupid, but... if he's gone permanently, it won't be connected any more. It's at least a place to start.

[video]

[all_sweetheart]

Yeah, I've tried, but he's not answering. But it's still connected, at least I think so. I just don't get why he's not answering.

[video]

[thelittlestbub]

Okay, at least it's still connected meaning even if he got punted back home, he'll be back. It's when they're completely disconnected that they're... gone.

[She rubs a hand over her face.]

Don't tell Michael. Not right now. At least not until we know more. Okay? We'll make up some excuse. I know you're worried, and you're scared, but give it a couple of days, and we'll see what happens. And trust me I hate wait and see too, but right now, we still have hope.

And if you need someone to hang with, feel free to crash in my place.

[all_sweetheart]

So, you think maybe he's been taken back home? [It's a kinder thought then some of the ones he's come up with. At least he's safe if he's back home.]

Yeah...okay. But what will we say? Billy doesn't make a habit of staying away from the house.

Thanks, I think I'll take you up on that.

[It is a very very good thing his NV is broken, yes?]

reaction:

[all_sweetheart]

[Probably. Mags has enough problems to deal with.]

[Video]

[belovedlilium]

No, I haven't seen him around. I'm sorry.

[But she begins to wonder for a bit.]

When did you last see him? Have you tried calling his NV?

[Video]

[all_sweetheart]

I saw him the day before last. But it's not like him to go off without telling someone.

Yeah, I have, a lot, but he's not answering.

[Video]

[belovedlilium]

Does he have places he goes to a lot? Maybe he could be hiding there...

[Because if his NV is still connected, then he hasn't left Siren's Port. Of course, Aeris has a feeling he knew that.]

Do you mind if I save his picture on my device? Maybe I'll get lucky and find someone who knows where he could be.

[Video]

[all_sweetheart]

I've checked everywhere I can think of and he doesn't have any reason to be in hiding.

[He sighs and rubs his eyes.]

Sure, go ahead. Whatever helps.
