I guess it was finally my turn. I disappeared from the compound like so many others have done in the past. It didn't really feel like much time, but according to this messenger I've been gone almost three weeks. And apparently Kir disappeared the same time I did...

I wish I could've at least learned something from it.

Did anyone else...?

I was beginning to wonder what had happened to you...

At least you've come back. So many others have just up and vanished. It's... distressing.

[thieveryofstars]

Persephone! Oh jeez... probably missed your party, huh? Sorry about that.

Some people have disappeared multiple times and come back. But this is my first time, and I've been here... a year and a half. hate thinking of it like that

Did you lose someone...?

[poppingseeds]

Haven't even had it yet -- and probably won't at this rate. It seems rather late, after I've been settled, but you're welcome to stop by at any time still.

Hopefully it'll be your last?

Two of my roommates, a friend, and a few people I've talked with. Not to mention people in general going missing.

[thieveryofstars]

Not at all?

I hope so. I could live without that kind of experience. At least it wasn't like what happened to Samus...

Oh... I'm sorry to hear that. [voice sounds genuinely regretful] I don't know what I'd do if Kir and Samus and the other people I know disappeared...

Are you okay? If there's anything I could do...

[nofairtrial]

Jing...it's good to see you're still around.

[thieveryofstars]

As though you could get rid of me that easily.
