004 ☠ video

[ This evening is a mournful evening for room 008 092. Jake was resting earlier today, taking a nap and enjoying the fact he received several items from his locker from the tenth wave. One happens to be a skulltop, in which is a wearable computer system and looks something like this. Along with the skulltop, Jake was also blessed with two leg holsters, replica of those that Lara Croft wears in Tomb Raider, and some various movie posters from back home, one with Mystique on it.

What he didn't expect to find after his nap was a pile of other belongings, along with a note. The other items are as listed:
A broken sword for a weapon, known as a Royal Deringer, typically equipped to Dave Strider. He also found a Smurfette plushie, several triangle shades and a shirt with an orange hat on it, neatly folded. All these items very characteristic of his best friend, Dirk Strider.

A note was also attached.

Frantically, he tried to contact them, along with Davesprite for good measure, all over the network, but got no replies. Even when he went to the room donned the Strider crib, he found it absolutely vacant. There was a process of panicking, perhaps some hyperventilating, and some flipping out on his own.

When he finally composes himself, he posts a video to the network, clearly still upset. ]


... Has anybody seen the Striders? I am trying not to jump to any rash conclusions here like they have been evaporated by some sci-fi-esque movie flick monster but...

[ The boy gasps for air. ]

I am vexed beyond comprehension right now. I apologize if I come off as incoherent.
But I need my best friends here. Please tell me they're still here and you have seen them. I would be obliged.

[[ ooc: if you knew davesprite, dirk strider or dave strider, they're all taking their leave and might have left you something behind with a similar note! more about this here. ]]

I've got nothing, but I suddenly have way more smuppets than I did the other day.

Sorry, dude. [ She means that. ]

[ FAIRY BULL CUDDLES ]

Not all of them, not by a long shot, but... some of them.

That was probably the most he was able to do. A lot of people don't even get that much.

... I'm sure he didn't want to leave you here.

He likes to watch mangos?

[ Wait that's not the point. ]

People disappear. No one knows how or why, but it happens -- and not by their choice. I've lost... a lot of people, while I've been here.

[ Pause. ]

Want to go hit something?

[All he's got left is a pajama cape. In any other scenario? Awesome.

In this case? Sad cat.]


I can't find Dave anywhere, Jake.

I'd hold them for you, trust me.

Best friends, huh? [ That makes him a little, er, sad. ] If they're not here, maybe they found a way off this thing without telling anyone.

[ And this is why he actually likes talking to Jake. He's just going to laugh forever. ] Hey. [ A cough. No he's not choking on his own laughter. Why would you ever think such a thing. ] Hey. Whatever the reason, shouldn't you be happy for 'em? No one wants to be stuck here forever. Right?

It's happened before. Not ever to me, but... it's happened.

Sometimes they don't remember they were here, but since you know them from home...

He didn't!

[His ears fold back after his exclamation, his eyes darting to the side.]

He wouldn't just do that for no reason.

[He looks quite sympathetic as he clicks on his communicator.]

I'm sorry, Jake. I-- they might simply have gone back home. That happens quite often around here.

Have you looked-? I mean, maybe-

[ oh, that explains the smuppet, then. oh. :( ]

Jake... I'm really sorry.
