Hey... everyone. It's Keith.

So a couple things. I guess.

First. Someone brought it up already I think. A while back, but people are going missing. I know it's happened at least a couple times. Not anyone I ever really met, but one guy I was assigned to as a sparring partner, but I couldn't find him. It really seems like he's gone. Even his code has been struck from the network. Which seems pretty deliberate.

Is there anyone else?

If people are disappearing, or wandering off and getting hurt or... worse... I guess most people probably have friends to look out after them. Maybe not everyone though.

But even so, if people are disappearing and none of us know how or why. I think that's something we should probably at least think about and what it means for the rest of us.


Second. So I guess it's a little easier now that there are some colors to help remember, but the whole username code thing is confusing in keeping track of who is who. At least it is for me.

If it were voluntary, what do people think about putting together some sort of directory? Something we could keep updated and search by name and/or code.

It might help us keep track of people too.

And... If people do think it's worth pursuing, I'd be really grateful if anyone better at computers than me wants to help making it user friendly.

EDIT: And apparently some people are turning into statues. Which sounds horrifying. Anyone have info on this? Do we know how to reverse it?

A few days...? I didn't notice her doing anything particularly different. We'd just gotten to know each other, but I think I'd at least notice if she was doing something really strange.

But there was nothing like that. I just woke up one day and she was like that.

[lonered]

Yeah. If you're living with her, you'd think you would've seen anything really bizarre.

That's so strange. I hope she'll be okay. I hope there's a way to undo it. But it sounds... it sounds terrible.

I'm sick of whatever the hell is keeping us here treating us like its playthings.

[messianic]

For now, let's focus on what we can do to help. There must be a way to undo it... it might be a quest thing?

Or a color requirement, or something. If there's a way, we have to find it.

[lonered]

Agreed. I didn't see anything in the quests that sounded like it had to do with people becoming statues.

Maybe it hasn't been announced yet.

Or maybe someone here could help; there are a lot of people who can use magic.

[messianic]

[He tried the healing magic he had, but admittedly, that doesn't mean much, so--]

You're right...it's worth a try. At this point, we have to try everything.

[lonered]

Agreed. Her network username is still active. People who've disappeared seem to have theirs crossed off, like it's been removed.

So I think there's hope, somehow.

[messianic]

There's definitely hope. Vriska-chan hasn't done anything to deserve this.

[And he told her he would stick there and try to keep her from begin lonely? So this is terrible.]

She's going to be okay.

[He's gotta hold onto that.]

[lonered]

[Keith doesn't say that a lot of people don't deserve the bad things that happen to them, holding back his cynicism because it won't help anything.]

She will be. We'll figure out something. If it happened it can be undone.

[messianic]

Right. Please keep me posted on what you find out for her sake too.

[lonered]

Of course. Anything I find out, I'll make sure other people know it too.

[Minato. Other people. Because something could very easily happen to any one person. They've seen that now. So spreading knowledge around is probably important.]

[messianic]

I appreciate it. Thanks.

I'll keep you posted on what I find out too.

[For now... that's really all they can do, isn't it?]

[lonered]

Thanks. I think that's our best bet with things happening to people -- share what we know as soon as we can. Before something happens to any of us.
