I know lots of people are missing. But there's this girl who usually breaks our kitchen appliances and makes fun of people and stuff. She lives here, but I think she

isn't.

Here, I mean. Her name is Jules. I mean Julia. So if you

I don't know. We're looking for her.

I'm Stanley, by the way. So that's who's looking. And other people too. She has family.

[Not the way he'd hoped to introduce himself to the network at large, but it's important. It's always important not to let people disappear silently.]

What does she look like?

[lazyinlove]

brown hair, great smile, dorky accent. She's probably in her 20s, she seems pretty young. didn't get around to asking yet.

[collectedloot]

Thanks, I'll keep an eye out for her. Do you know how long she's been missing for?

[lazyinlove]

A couple days.

[collectedloot]

I'll do whatever I can to help, okay?

[lazyinlove]

ok. Thanks.

[collectedloot]

You're welcome. My name is Alex, by the way.

[cesar]

Halt your search.

[lazyinlove]

why?

[cesar]

Because your interruption may disrupt the effort instead.

[lazyinlove]

huh?

[cesar]

[ He hesitates. What? Was he speaking Latin? ]

You will only hinder us if you continue your search.

[lazyinlove]

[Close to it, dude.]

who's "us"?

[She's keeping an eye on the network because of, well, everything, but she frowns when she sees this and takes a moment to double check.

Stanley probably doesn't want to hear this from her, but people can't always get what they want.]

she's not registered to the network anymore, so she's probably gone home.

i'm sorry.

[lazyinlove]

that's how that works?

[controlledvariable]

yeah, if you look her up there should be a note next to her responses that say she's gone

[lazyinlove]

[Give him a minute. There's a nice, long delay here. Because that system sucks. That's just...brutal.]

oh. got it.

[controlledvariable]

i only talked to her once, but she seemed nice.

is there anyone that needs to be told?

[lazyinlove]

yeah

Good luck, Stanley. I hope you find her. ... Let me know if you need any help.

[lazyinlove]

I never took a picture of her or anything. I don't have one to give people. She must be with everyone else but how do we find them?

[itstotallyaliens]

You could always just give a description. Do we have any artists here? Someone could do up a composite sketch, that's proven to be just as effective as a photograph in a lot of cases.

[lazyinlove]

I don't know?

[itstotallyaliens]

It's okay. They brought in how many people? We're bound to have at least one good artist. If you give me a description I can make sure it gets out there for people.

[he's going to feel so bad once he realizes that the girl he's looking for is just ... gone, returned, whichever]

[lazyinlove]

Tall. Brown hair, pale skin. Nice smile. Cute nose. Dark eyes. does that help

[The kid had to learn about these things some day.]
