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

Can't say for certain... I'll definitely keep an eye out, however.

[aegisdriver]

thanks, i really do appreciate it

What's your name?

[ifionlyhadthecourage]

Caramia. Nice to meet you.

[aegisdriver]

Sounds kind of like a candy! Never heard a name like that before

Are you all by yourself here?

[ifionlyhadthecourage]

You're probably thinking of "caramel". My name derives from Italian, however, so that's probably why?

My best friend appeared here with me, sadly. Hopefully, if your friend really did appear back home, I can only hope the same will happen for him, if that's the case.

[aegisdriver]

Italian? Never heard of it, honestly! We do have caramel, though

What do you mean "sadly", though? Isn't it better to be with your friends instead of apart?

[ifionlyhadthecourage]

Well... this place isn't exactly what I'd call a great vacation. It's cold, dull, and really eerie. And home was... well, it was home.

I'm happy we're together, don't get me wrong, but I'd rather him be safe at home than here where I'm not entirely sure what's going to happen...

If you found our your friend was home rather than just lost, then wouldn't you be happy...?

[aegisdriver]

I'd rather we all be together. I don't think my friends would be able to sleep well knowing I was out here. I think that they would want to come after me and help me, so...If I had their help, I'd be very grateful for it, and we could all find a way home together

I guess that is a bit selfish, huh?

I don't think I'd give up my friends so easily just so that they wouldn't be in the same predicament as me...i think my friends would want to share the burden, that's all

[ifionlyhadthecourage]

That's not selfish at all. I completely agree, in all honesty, and I think it's a good way to look at it.

In a way, I'd be really lonely without him here. He's always been there, and so not having him be would be strange.

That said, the fact that I cannot guarantee his safety scares me more than being alone does.

[aegisdriver]

I'm sure he must feel the same way, right? Or at least similarly

You can't guarantee his safety, and he can't guarantee yours, but i guarantee you're both a lot safer together than split apart

friends keep each other safe. I'm sure your friend would rather have the chance to keep you safe than to be back home not even knowing

You don't wanna take somethin like that for granted

[ifionlyhadthecourage]

I wouldn't know.

Regardless, it's best not to chatter about him, we have your friend to find. That takes priority. Would she wonder out into the forest?

[aegisdriver]

Maybe...but like i said, she isn't the type to run off and do something dangerous without being extra careful...she would've left a note or told someone if she had plans on doing something dangerous

Which means wherever she went, i dont think she expected to go there
