text; where do we keep the lost and found around this place anyway? (forward dated to late 7/13)

[whatsupcroc]

Quick question, I know people are busy and there's shady stuff going down, but:

Is anyone really good at finding missing things? Or people? I'm losing a little of my mind over here, but that's not what I need found!

( With how Martin's still MIA she sort of suspects... not. )

[whatsupcroc]

Then you'd be able to find me too?

( The map shows no matching dot. Caesar had been so kind to skip off on mission without letting anyone know -- but it meant he wasn't currently in Exsilium. Jaime's map was delightful for its blue presence.

And its lack of anyone to be found. )

What's it supposed to show on there?

[whatsupcroc]

Ah, the UE has dimensional use. We... kind of can't open up ones outside without them apparently noticing.

I guess if you're not busy?

[whatsupcroc]

That lady's your roommate?

Thank you. Let me know if you find him! Or a little guy, like four inches tall, who calls himself ctsv.

I am never busy when a friend needs help.

[galactically]

Ah, you really weren't kidding when you mentioned the lack of descriptions. I suppose I'll be waiting for a copy, then.

[khajidont]

Yep. But like I said, it's not something I use a whole lot, not unless I've got a bunch of escaped bad guys or something.

[Or when he's worried and needs to check up on someone, but he won't mention that now.]

There should be a dot showing up right now. I don't know where he is, but he's not in Exsilium.

okay got them
and it s no problem at all i m happy to do it

i ll get in touch with you guys if i find out anything

[scornful]

Unfortunately, yes. But I do not see her very often, and that is exactly how I prefer things to stay.

And I'm not sure that even my skills could help you locate someone four inches tall! There's just too many things that could have happened to him. Too many places for him to hide. You might have better luck getting a dog to ferret him out.

Or a ferret. I suppose.

[vimdicare]

Ah yes I heard about that mission. Can they trace the monthly arrivals?

It'd be nice to have company while looking, that's true. So if you're not busy this weekend... I'll give it another look on my own, first! To not waste time.

[whatsupcroc]

Yeah, I'm sorry. I don't have a lot aside from the idea to give people. And that it's made of something like leather, only more waterproof?

[whatsupcroc]

You can track living or dead, right?

( Because ridiculous as it sounds, if Beetle does, then Collette feels much better about this. )

[khajidont]

Yeah. He's just not here.

[He turns off the map and lets his arms rest freely at his sides again.]

I can keep the scan running in the background, say... on the hour? When he comes back, I'll know. Which means you will too.

[galactically]

A clock holding pouch made of waterproof leather. All right, I think I got it!

[retraced]

[He takes it and spoons some food onto his plate.]

I don't think it has a meaning? It's just a name.

[But he sounds disappointed in his own answer. It could just be that he never thought to question meanings behind names, but honestly, the subject has never been brought up.]

[blossomgale]

[ After Sophie knocks, she steps further into the apartment. Her head tilts slightly, eying the wheelchair with curiosity just for a moment. She's not very familiar with chairs with wheels back in her world... ]

Were you the one I was speaking to earlier? [ Her voice should be recognizable since she had been using the audio feed. ] I'm Sophie.

I am not. tell me if you succeeded if finding it and if not, I will come and help you search.

[crocodilesmiles]

( She sighs in relief, shoulders dropping and shaking her head after a moment. Good. Good, good! It's almost palpable, that relief, and how she perks up afterward. Okay, so the two worst scenarios were covered and nulled. He's not kidnapped by the Howling Voice Guild for some reason that only made sense to them or people as crazy as they are -- like, say, Caesar and Nash -- he's not dead somewhere without her knowing, at least in this time, and he's not back home.

That's...

Really annoying that he hadn't said anything before disappearing, sure, but good! )

Thank you, BB.

( She really smiles, for all it doesn't change that she's tired. It does make her look better overall. )

Hey... want any cake? It looks horrible, but it's edible! It's the first time I've ever tried.

... Maybe the last, too.

[crocodilesmiles]

All names come from somewhere. It's why we're not like... called Dude and -- Girl and Boy all our lives! Why'd you get named Gilbert in the first place?

( To be fair, she was amused by naming conventions from places outside of her realm of experience. Caesar's still cracks her up today.

Not to mention the kid named Loki who lived with her for a while. )

If it doesn't have a meaning, we'll just have to make one up together!

[crocodilesmiles]

Hey, Sophie! Yeah, that's me.

( She grins, some of the lines on her face softening with the expression. She's tired; that's the majority of it. )

It's nice to meet you. I'm Collette. So... what do you need in order to try and find someone who's missing?

[crocodilesmiles]

Thank you, Gwen. You're a good friend. ♥

[retraced]

[His name has always been the only thing he's remembered from childhood aside from less than a handful of brief, empty memories of his brother and Jack. Its meaning is 'the name that Oz could call me when he met me' and nothing more.]

To be honest...I don't remember.

[crocodilesmiles]

( She blinks, sampling some of what's on her plate. For a moment, she thinks Gilbert might go on.

He doesn't. )

What do you mean?

( I don't remember could mean all kinds of things. Amnesia would be the like, cinematic version, but the more down to earth was simple. Forgetting what he'd been told, never really knowing, hearing it when he was younger and forgetting the details over time. )

[retraced]

[Unfortunately, his life is a terrible movie cliche.]

I don't have any memories from before I was nine years old.

[Though he doesn't sound too terribly upset about this fact.]
