~8~ Forward Dated to a few hours after Link's Disappearance

[wheres_my_puppy]

[Midna sounds cheerful, but if you know her well enough, it should be obvious it's pretty forced.]

Just a minute ago, there was a foolish green sock-hat hanging off the foot of my bed.

It's gone now.

So I wonder...is its owner gone, too?

[Cue the worry here.]

...Midna?

[wheres_my_puppy]

You've been here longer than I have, haven't you, Princess?

Do you know how this 'vanishing' thing works?

[oblique_wisdom]

I have heard that when people leave this ship, they are returned home... I want to believe this, and that those who leave may be in a better place.

[wheres_my_puppy]

So it sounds to you like he's gone, then.

Hmm~

[pimp_hat]

[Kevas is sure he knows what this is about, but he doesn't have the faintest clue what to say. He wants to help but she has never really wanted his help.]

Sounds like Redd took sometin' else dat ain't be his.

[He isn't going to lie to her or give her any false hope. He likes her too much to do that.]

[wheres_my_puppy]

I was wondering who was playing tricks on me.

[She understands now what Kevas meant about Redd taking his family. Like a blow to the freaking chest.]

[pimp_hat]

Aye, da mon be havin' a wicked sense of humuh.

[wheres_my_puppy]

And it's surprisingly funny.

[In that sad, ironic way.]

[scionofwisdom]

[...No. No. He isn't gone. Not now. He can't be.]

...Midna?

[wheres_my_puppy]

Princess?

Will you be alright?

[scionofwisdom]

Will you?

[wheres_my_puppy]

Hmm?

Of course.

[blindimmortal]

It would seem so, hmm?

[wheres_my_puppy]

Yupp.

[4nschik]

Is someone missing? Maybe I can help. I'm not a field agent, but I can do some stuff!

[Abby, unfortunately, still hasn't caught on to the disappearance thing.]

[wheres_my_puppy]

Aren't you sweet.

Yes, someone is missing.

[She'll tell her in a bit that there's no point. For now it should be funny to see her freak.]

[4nschik]

Okay! I mean... [more seriously] Okay.

[She's a little too excited to have something to do.]

What was the last place and time that you saw them? Do you suspect foul play? Or perhaps a runaway? Do you have any reason to believe that this person is in any kind of harm?
