Hey! My roommate Iris didn't come into our room last night, and she wasn't here this morning, either! Does anyone know where she is? Do you think she's okay?

Ooohhh.

A mystery! This feels like one of those detective novel cases just waiting to be investigated!

[beatsupboys]

... Do you want to help?

[lesyays]

Why, certainly!

[beatsupboys]

Great! My name's Ty Lee.

[beatsupboys]

Where do you think they go?

[beatsupboys]

But why would they tell us that they only way to get home is to go to Loophole with them?

[Gau frowns, unseen. Pages flipping in the background. He's already made a copy of all the roommates, and is attempting to make a map of the caravan.]

Missing? If I knew her name, I could look for her. I hadn't heard of anyone being seriously injured or killed during the attack...

[Hmmmm...]

[beatsupboys]

Her name's Iris.

[voice forever, then?]

[Gau mutters to himself]

Iris...? Iris...

[pages flipping, as he scours a neat little page of cramped all-caps writing. He double-checks, leaving his end of the thing mostly silent, chewing his knuckle idly.]

I appeared in the woods a short time ago, and copied down the rooming list for this purpose. [frowns unseen] There is no person named "Iris" on this list, miss...? [pauses, waiting for your name so he can look to try to find if you have a roommate.

The power of organization. It's being helpful already. A vicious little glee, there, for him... USEFULNESS! The disappearing people are the key! He knows it! Discovering how they do it is the key to getting home and not being the pawn of some caravan-man who seems to know too much!

Triumph! Ninjas! Pastries!]

[beatsupboys]

There isn't? What does that mean?
