[The voice in this transmission only appears unshaken. There is a harshness to his diction that suggests this young man is deeply concerned.]

My sister, Clover, has not returned home from class at Siren's Port university today. She left her NV at the dormitory so it wouldn't distract her from lectures [something he regrets nagging her to do, even

I just checked our admission records. She's not here. I'm about to call in a contact at SERO's hospital, and check there as well.

[typhlopid]

Thank you. Please let me know if you hear anything.

[gaveherwings]

No sign of her.

...Clover should be hard to miss.

[typhlopid]

Yes.

[quiet] Doctor, considering our history, even if Clover can be a little absent-minded at times - she would not be late while failing to contact me.

[giftedistheterm]

Where is the university located?

[typhlopid]

In Sector 6, near the Henderson Stop.

[giftedistheterm]

I'll start there.

[typhlopid]

Thank you. I have already traversed the campus once over, returning to our dormitory on-site, as well as contacting campus security, but I have turned up no news of her since she left class a few hours ago this afternoon.

[swordandbells]

Oh, dear. I can certainly help look if you'd like.

[typhlopid]

Thank you. I have searched over the campus and turned up no sign of her, I suppose the next places to check would be where she works, perhaps, but she had no more shifts today.

[swordandbells]

Where does she work?

[typhlopid]

She works at the Phantomhive household as a maid, as well as the bowling alley and a high-end restaurant at the underground mall. She was not set to work at any of them tonight.

I haven't seen a girl like that. She sounds pretty hard to miss, though, so if I do see her I'll let you know.

[typhlopid]

Thank you. [The voice seems a little young, he thinks--]

Are you a student at SPU as well?

Re: voice;

[yosukecantstop]

[A little younger than even that, in fact.]

No. I just got here, so I haven't really thought about school yet.

[typhlopid]

[drily] It is a fairly good school, mysterious disappearance of my sister aside.

voice!

[birdthright]

But she's still here, isn't she? [ otherwise, he wouldn't be receiving telepathic signals at all. or, at least, that's how he assumes it works. ]

[typhlopid]

Indeed. If the NV is an indicator of an individual's presence in the city, then hers seems to suggest she is still here somewhere. The NV still rings rather than going directly to voicemail or not receiving a signal at all.

--You seem a little young to know my sister. [Not without irony:] This would be a poor time to reveal yourself as a potential suitor.

[birdthright]

[ practically splutters ] That is not how our relationship is like. We have only spoken once.

[ then, after a while, he composes himself. ] I will keep an eye out.

[typhlopid]

[That was too easy, and a bit of a low shot, but Snake is comforted, nonetheless, at the fact he could still understand a young boy's reaction fairly well, no matter how serious.

It's a poor substitute for teasing his sister, but it will have to do]

Then I thank you for your altruism and express your relief in a lack of interest in older women. Any friend of Clover's is a friend of mine.
