This is repetitive, aru.

[a short silence. levelly,]

... I have found Ash Ketchum's hat. What a sad thing to lose. Aa--

Dawn, was it? If you would, do come and collect it.

[aaand another, longer ensuring silence. sharper,]I have a question, again. How long will it be before those here would be willing to think these people dead? Or those

Perhaps the kidnapping victims are in danger of it, but those from the Madness are not dead.

[closedmarket]

You don't have to be. It is simply something of note, maybe.

[lavenderglasses]

It's been a while since most of them left, besides, I wouldn't really consider that to have any weight in with the number of disappearances recently.

[closedmarket]

It seems as if everyone who has been here since near to the start has been disappearing.

Very odd, that. -- Then again, maybe there is a time limit on how long we can be here. Or is that wishful thinking?

[lavenderglasses]

I don't think so. There are still people who have been here from the beginning, correct? And others who showed up only to disappear soon after...I can't imagine that there's any correlation with time spent here.

[closedmarket]

A time limit, aru. A ceiling. There is only one person left who has been here from the beginning, I believe. And that was only... four months ago.

[very wishful thinking.]

[lavenderglasses]

Let me know if that person vanishes suddenly anytime soon, then I'll give your theory serious consideration.

[closedmarket]

Hopefully, she will stay in sight enough to be seen leaving. If she does.

[lavenderglasses]

What do you mean?

[closedmarket]

A kidnapping like this. That is all.

[lavenderglasses]

I see.

[closedmarket]

What else did you think of?

[lavenderglasses]

I just wasn't sure if you were referring to some aspect of your friend that I wasn't aware of, that's all.

[closedmarket]

-- Ah. Apologies, aru.

[lavenderglasses]

It's alright, don't worry about it.

[closedmarket]

Do... take care, anyway.
