USER #23FBC5 - Missing Friend

[aegisdriver]

Apologies, cause I'm still getting used to this system

I thought I'd use it to ask a question

My name is Rex, by the way. Since this thing doesn't show our names, and I don't really care about being anonymous or not
Has anyone noticed people going missing?
I had a friend, a friend from my home, and we were both here together but now any trace of her seems to have disappeared

I thought maybe she just went off exploring or something, but she's not the type to be so careless...she would've at least left a note or something
It worries me because I have no real way of knowing if she found a way back home or if something took her or worse.

I don't mean to be such a downer, but if anyone has any information, I admit I'm a little bit desperate

Thanks

Rex

Anyone stupid enough to venture into the forest deserves a scare or two.

But, yes.

Personally, I'd rather they didn't up and vanish, themselves. They have this terrible habit of acting recklessly without a thought to those others it might affect.

[aegisdriver]

hey! it wasn't stupid! I had to explore my surroundings!

You're pretty lucky then, make sure you keep an eye on them, then...I'd hate for you to feel the way i feel right now

Its pretty crummy

[crowsigliere]

I'm familiar enough with the feeling to know that "crummy" is a generous descriptor.

If I see your friend, I'll try to let them know that they've been missed.

[aegisdriver]

crummy is the worst I'll let myself feel, if i get too down in the dumps I'll just be useless, and that wouldn't be any good for me or morag

I really appreciate that

Don't think i caught your name

[crowsigliere]

Even if it takes years? Decades? By that point you might very well never see her again.

I would be surprised if you had caught my name, given that I hadn't offered it.

[aegisdriver]

that's exactly the grim kind of thinking I'm tryin to avoid! Haha....

That's because it was my own roundabout way of askin for it!

[crowsigliere]

And perhaps if you had asked outright, I might have given it to you! What a shame.

In any case, that's the reality you'll have to face: either you find her, or you don't. The piece that you control is whether you intend to continue searching, even long after the chances have dwindled to mere fractions. Is she important enough to you to warrant the trouble? Would it be some sense of obligation that spurs you on?

Or would you cut your losses, and allow her to become little more than a memory turned sour?

[aegisdriver]

[boy he is becoming a lot less friendly the longer this conversation goes on.]

that's...a tough question to answer. I dunno if i even have one.

But i dont plan on givin up, thats for sure. Maybe i wont be able to find her, but maybe i can figure out what happened, yeah?

So that's what I'll do

[crowsigliere]

[ Don't take it poorly, Rex, he just gets Like This sometimes. Fortunately, he picked the right answer! ]

Hope is a hell of a thing, isn't it?

Best of luck.

[aegisdriver]

to you too, then

we're all in this together, ya know
