[Anne's face isn't one that shows up over the network very often, if she can help it. But right now, it feels necessary to break out of her usual norm of being as antisocial as possible, now that she has a reason to reach out to people]

I don't know if anyone's going to be able to help with this, but I can't risk not asking. I'm looking for someone.

[She pauses, and takes a long moment to just breathe. Internally, she's cursing herself for not making this a text, because it's a challenge to keep her composure right now. She chews on her bottom lip and then manages to pull herself together enough to speak again, though her voice is shaky]

I know at least some of you know him. His name is Murphy Pendleton. He's middle aged, around average height, I'd say. Brown hair. He has a scar on his right cheek. He's been missing for a few days. If anyone's seen him, or knows where he might be...

[Then her voice breaks and she abruptly switches the feed to text]

Just let me know. I need to find him. His number is OPR » 006 » 073, so you'll know him when you see him.

I dont mind helping you investigate if you want. Murphy and i are rather close acquaintances.
However it appears people come and go around here a lot. Try not to fret too hard!

Thanks. I'd appreciate the help.
I know he's still here. I texted him, and it went through. I don't want to think about what that means.

[Firo never saw Murphy in person, but the number looks familiar enough and he's sure he would remember a guy with a scar.]

Haven't seen him lately, sorry. I can try looking around for him.

That would be great. You'll let me know if you find anything out?

Of course.

Any ideas where he could be?

[Well, she only sort of knew him, but he seemed okay? He's at least awesome to talk to, when he's high.]

does he have any enemies?

[Because you might as well ask the easy questions first.]

[that question almost actually makes her laugh]

No. At least not that I know of. He's hard not to like. I at least know he doesn't have any sort of arch nemesis or anything like that.

[She could understand that. For as many weird, weird, encounters the two had, LB didn't think that she could ever really hate him for it.]

oh well thats good. c:

it probably means that no one killed him at least. c:

i travel a lot through the halls a lot but i havent run into him lately.

have you tried messaging him?

he really likes to send messages.

[Oh yes, she was one of the lucky few to get a misguided text message.]

i was scoping out the ship not too long ago
didnt pass him on the way back to civilization but theres a lot of ways to get lost on a ship this size
could do another trip out if you need a search party

That would probably be a good idea. It'd be good to have more people looking for him.
Apparently messages have been going through to his communicator, so he's still on the ship. He didn't leave it in our room, so unless he dropped it somewhere, he's probably not in any condition to be able to answer.

[she's just going to ignore the possibility that he could be dead. At least for now]

wait
"our room"??
so youre like
the fabled roommate
oh man if you dont know where he is shit must be serious

i will look for him

[He's trying very hard to believe that Murphy's just wandering around somewhere, that people are missing him out of sheer coincidence. Trying.]

Thanks.

[Anne is trying to do the same, and it's harder than she'd imagined it would be]

You know him?

[It takes a while for him to respond, because texting is not his strong suit and he leaves much of the spelling to autocorrect, but he does his best to get back to her.]

yes

murphy pendleton

when he came here the first time, he had birds. and he had a dinner party for us not long ago. he is important

He hasn't -

[And belatedly, the probable reason that Anne is the person asking the network about Murphy crashes into his head.]

You're the girlfriend.

[NO WAY.]

[Oh god. It's him. If Anne were a pettier person she would probably be irritated, considering the circumstances of their previous encounter]

Yeah. I'm the girlfriend.

[If she were in a better mood, she might add "do you have a problem with that?" But right now she just doesn't have the energy]

And you're his friend? Have you seen him?

[Nope still voice because he's an ass like that. Except she'd be forgiven for thinking he switched; he sits there and lets that fact wash over him in complete silence for a second. This woman is Murphy's girlfriend, what the hell. No wonder the guy seems whipped.]

Not friend.

[He's got a rather intense definition of "friend".]

Work with him - haven't seen 'im in the Gardens. Thought he got himself injured again, or something.

I was with Murphy in his room just a few days ago.

[ There's an apparent concern in Cibo's expression — though she looks equally exhausted... ]

Do you think something might have happened...? I'll start looking immediately.

Yeah. I think something happened. Usually he lets me know if he's going to be gone.

Thanks.

[ there is some distant part of irene that thinks, ah, this is she, but now is neither the time nor place to indulge that. ]

Are you certain of this?

Yes. I'm positive.

We share a room. A room he hasn't been in for days.

[ He could be going for 'no way' and 'he's missing?!' But that's definitely beating around that fact, yes, let's take the next step in this.

So: ]

it's been a while since i've seen him but
i'll be on the look out

Thanks. I'll keep you posted if I find anything out.

[ Ohgod visibly worried. also wow belated tag. ]

He's actually missing? I thought he was just being reclusive...

[Ohai Nep. Anne is actually sort of relieved to hear from her, because there's something ridiculous about her that's all kinds of heartening]

No. He hasn't been back to our room for a few days. So unless he's decided to run away to join the circus, I think we might have a reason to worry.
