∞ 88: Three years displaced [written/action]

[written]

Professor Sage is missing -- has been missing since before the Halloween ball. Please keep an eye out for her, and others who went missing during the previous experiment, along with any possible New Feathers who may show up this month.

As a reminder, we have now entered the fourth cycle year as of October 26. Be sure to pick up a new calendar in the welcoming center or library.

Thank you.

[The sun is out, the effects are gone, and people are returning to their normal states. Despite all of that, Albert still finds himself somehow unsteady. Perhaps it has something to do with Rune being unable to find any of his brood. Perhaps it has something to do with the continued lack of presence from Epona's master. Perhaps...

He can be found between his house and community building 7, in the stables and corral he rebuilt with Link. Today he finds himself spending more time with Astrid and Epona, as if that will somehow make up for the fact that they had been left to fend for themselves in the fog. He even has his saddle if he feels like riding. His A tiny owl perches on a nearby fence post, outside for the first time in almost two weeks.

Like so many others, Albert is more than ready to put aside the stress caused by a handful of scientists. So instead, he reminisces over his three years in Luceti.]

They actually kidnapped people during that mess?

[Written]

[chikaidestroyer]

It seems that way. Unless there were deaths that I was unaware of.

[Badly scribbled. You know how much she hates writing, Albert. It's a testament to something that she's even bothering.]

Raine? Crap. Out at hot springs with Willow, but I'll be back later. Can I come over to chat?

[written]

[chikaidestroyer]

[Oh, he notices. He's sure Raine would appreciate the concern.]

Of course. Try not not to let this bother you too much out there, Buffy. [There wasn't anything they could do about it, after all.]

[If Albert isn't home, it's not hard to guess where he might be. There was always the possibility that he wasn't there, of course, but now that things have returned to normal, it at least couldn't hurt to check. Caesar could use the fresh air anyway.

As he wanders over to the stables sometime in the afternoon, he considers what Albert said about the year. ...he better not be sulking or something.

Now, now, big brother, wherever could you be?]

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

[Big brother is not sulking. ...He's brooding. There's a difference.

Albert is securing Astrid's saddle in her stable as Caesar comes up. He will have to enter the corral and not cower in front of Epona before getting to them.]

[... Oh great. Raine got taken? ... Hrm.

Well, since it'd be faster for him to just say it and because writing is for chumps--]

Dammit ... All right. I'll let you know if I see her around anywhere.

[Voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

[Well fine, Yuri, be that way. He'll use voice, too.]

Thank you. They chose the most distracting time to abduct people.

[Albert pauses in his tending to Astrid when he sees Sheik. He recognizes the young man, having seen him in the midst of battles and over the journals. He was another resident who had been around for a long while.]

Good afternoon.

I'll keep an eye out.

[chikaidestroyer]

Thank you, Doctor.

[...

...Wait, didn't he have something he needed to give back?]

I believe I still have something to return to you.

Professor Sage is missing...?

[voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

She is, yes. She disappeared the day before the tent appeared.

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

... I will keep myself aware. Professor Sage is, as I understand it, rather important to the infrastructure of this place.

[chikaidestroyer]

Yes. She maintains the school and the guide, and has been around longer than most. That would warrant some concern.

[written shakily though, she may switch to voice eventually]

Raine got kidnapped?

[written/voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

I

[There is a pause, then Albert continues in voice.]

I honestly do not know.

[Voice]

[salvationfound.livejournal.com]

... I'll keep an eye out for her.

[Voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

Thank you, Kratos. She doesn't tend to fare well when she returns from abductions. [Some other residents just seemed to be luckier in that regard.]

[300yrswandering.livejournal.com]

[Raine's missing...? And considering what happened in the past we-- No, he's not thinking about that, it would be terrible if Raine actually...] I'll keep an eye out for her.

[voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

Thank you, Ted. [Now if only they could read minds and know they were on the same wavelength.]

[Yuan's been restless for a few days now. He was having an especially hard time during the week leading up to Halloween, what with all the nasty hallucinations. Now that he's finally able to leave the house without having to worry about 'ghosts and ghouls' jumping out at him from around every corner, he's more than happy to do so. Especially now that Raine's gone missing, he feels he needs to patrol the village perimeter a bit.

When he passes by house #42 and spots Rune on the fence post, he stops by the stables to see if Albert's around.]

[Action]

[chikaidestroyer]

[Down the road from the house, Albert can be seen in the corral with Astrid. Staying inside wasn't very appealing after everything that had happened last week.

He watches as Yuan moves closer before nodding in greeting.]

[lezareno_prez]

Do you have any idea whether or not she went missing in the fog?

[Voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

I do not know for certain. The fog was beginning to come in when she disappeared, and she had been outside at the time. [He pauses.] Sheena seems to think she would have come back out if she had gone in.
