Salutations.

There are two missing individuals that I have been attempting to track down for sometime. Please advise if you have seen them.

[IMG ATTCH: surge.png]

This is Surge. It would be difficult to miss her, I imagine. Nonetheless, please advise if you have seen her. She is loud, stubborn, and generally unapologetic for her actions. For good or for ill.

[IMG ATTCH: kit.png]

This is Kitsunami, otherwise called Kit. He is much more quiet, but rarely away from Surge's side.

Please advise if you have seen either recently. Thank you.

Espio out.

Both of them are missing?

Where did you see them last? How long ago?

[stealthpun]

Was my message about both of them being missing particularly confusing? Yes, both of them.

At their home, about a month ago. I have been looking ever since.

[spinsandneedles]

come to think of it, it did seem weird that nobody's been trying to kill me lately

Kit is gone. [Confirmed when he ran into a distraught Surge at the beginning of last month. Surge herself....while he hasn't confirmed it himself, he suspects whatever happened to Kit, the same has happened to her now.]

[weisshappened]

[Okay, that was probably stupid to ask, sure. But more importantly:]

Anywhere you haven't looked that they might've gone? I'll help.

[stealthpun]

Not to my knowledge, but I suppose anything is possible. Surge would be interested in doing tasks that allow her to perform her perceived heroics. Kit would not be far behind.

I would be grateful for your aid.

[stealthpun]

A bit too calm for you, I'm sure.

I know they would have nothing but joy over fighting you, but will you still help me look?

[stealthpun]

Based on what evidence?

[wherethereislight]

Contact information gone. Surge confirmed herself. No, I haven't seen her.

[spinsandneedles]

ehhhhhh. i mean, i don't LIKE being electrocuted.

i'll help you look, though. i still don't like the idea of anything bad happening to them

[stealthpun]

I don't think most people do.

I had hoped that would be the case. I am trying to help them understand that you are not the enemy. That you are a true fried to have. I would like to keep trying to help them.

[stealthpun]

Contact information disappearing is enough to confirm that someone is simply gone for good? What logic is that?

[wherethereislight]

No, we searched. There's nothing. [As if Kit never was here at all.]

[stealthpun]

That

That doesn't make any sense. How is that possible?

[weisshappened]

Maybe the Manta requests, then. That'd count as helping people. Being a "hero".

You got it. Davrin.

[Since Espio already introduced himself, kind of...]

[wherethereislight]

[The same question he ask how people don't stay dead in this world. Does he know how to private this message to say that? Sort of? But he also doesn't fully trust this thing with Eggman around.]

Arriving here doesn't make sense.

[stealthpun]

Yes, most likely. It's what she relied upon.

Thank you, Davrin. I realize I had been harsh with my words in the past, nonetheless you are willing to help when I would not blame you for otherwise.

[stealthpun]

All right, that's fair.

Thank you for informing me. So it is also possible with Surge.

[weisshappened]

I was planning on checking some of them out myself. No trouble to add the rest.

Hey, you're stressed. If my friends from home disappeared, I'd be short with everyone, too. Plus... I liked them, too. They're good kids.

[A little weird. But his weird tolerance has gone skyhigh.]

[stealthpun]

A pleasant surprise to know it. Surge and Kit could be a little difficult to understand sometimes, but I do truly think at their hearts that they are good.

Please let me know if you hear anything, and I shall do the same.

[weisshappened]

Yeah. So do I.

[Surge in particular reminded him of Taash. Her mannerisms were the same brash and bold ones the qunari had. They would have gotten along.]

You got it. I want to say I've followed colder trails but... I don't want to make empty promises.

[wherethereislight]

When did you last saw her?

[stealthpun]

Almost exactly a month ago.

[stealthpun]

It's quite all right. As a detective, I'm no stranger to difficult cases. It is my hope we will find a decent conclusion to this one.

[He isn't optimistic, but he hopes anyway.]

[spinsandneedles]

you're a real bro, you know that?

if I wander around outside alone for too long, surge usually finds ME. i could always try employing that tactic again?
