So we're letting creeps into the library now, huh. Nice.

I wouldn't think that setting these terminals up as some sort of monster-laden booby trap was really a clever idea. Blame the weird technical earlier on the mass of construction, sure. Bait them to have something crawl out of the shadows when you have your back turned to read a message? Not so much.

But hey, joke successful, I guess. I'm surprised. [And splattered with the blood of god-knows-what-that-was in an effort to rip himself out of the library, down the stairs and into the elevator. Details weren't exactly important right now.]

So, does this kind of trick happen a lot around here? Monsters braething down your neck, I mean.

[There's a slight pause before a second message is written up, a filter hastily applied.]

FILTER -- Jade Curtiss; Luke fon Fabre; Asch the Bloody; Tear Grants (F A I L E D) -- FILTER

Has anyone seen Tear? I'm getting worried about her.

((OOC: MASSIVE EDIT because the mun apparently can't read dates, oops.))

Not since I woke up, unfortunately.

FILTER

[relinquishing]

It's not like her to be this quiet. Do you think she could have been carted off somewhere?

Re: FILTER

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

Entirely possible. Her Yulian heritage might have caught someone's eye.

FILTER

[relinquishing]

Her fonic hymns, right. But why would anyone who wasn't from Auldrant be interested in something like that?

Re: FILTER

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

I'm sure the ability to instantly heal people after doing some kind of torture might be useful. If not that, they might see more potential for her more devastating hymns, or another use for her abilities in general.]

No kidding.

[relinquishing]

Huh? Okay, but why check there?

[It's a long time before Luke's response comes.]

bcause evry1 tat disapears has a ston ther

[...this obviously upsets him; his typing is even worse.]

Text - hooray for non-anon - same filter

[bloodyashes]

No, I haven't seen her since the... Incident last month.

Filter - Asch being social without being a creep, oh no the world must be ending

[relinquishing]

Neither have I. I tried getting a hold of her, but it bounced right back. She isn't in her room, either.

I don't like this.

filter - obviously you haven't seen him around Sheba, Guy

[bloodyashes]

Well, people do disappear at times.

[After the aforementioned incident, he knows that better than any of them.]

All we can do is keep going.

Filter - nope, otherwise there would be a lot more girlfriend jokes

[relinquishing]

Disappear?

You mean they get taken away, or...?

filter - hey that's platonic, alright? he's got only one blond in his lovelife and Nat's not here

[bloodyashes]

I don't know. They're just... Gone.

That's what happened to Luke in my other self's memories.

[Glad for the filters, it's this guy.]

[keybearer]

Depends on the time and the place, but trust me when I say that's hardly the worst this place has to offer.

[relinquishing]

So I've heard.

I'm not exactly excited to see what the icing on the cake is. This place has enough surprises already.

[keybearer]

Well, it could be worse; at least we're not in a Jason month right now.

[relinquishing]

Jason? He's one of the administrators, right?

How is that worse?

[hallmonotor]

Think of it as an opportunity to hone your reflexes!

[relinquishing]

I'm sure there are better ways to go about that then playing tag with a monster.

[hallmonotor]

If you can think of any then please let me know.

[relinquishing]

Oh. Yeah, uh. Sure. Right.

Ever try running through thick woods before?

Action as discussed gakldjf

[attheclocktower]

[The sounds of the fighting in the library were what had drawn her over, though by the time she'd made it over to the terminal he'd been sitting at, Guy had already made his way to the stairs. Still, with the terminal logged in still, did that mean they were still around, and maybe needed help? That seemed likely, if monsters were involved...

Thus when Guy returns she's still looking, and when she spots him, she stares wide-eyed at him, more than a little concerned]

A-are you okay?

[relinquishing]

[He's swearing something under his breath at first, wiping the edge of his sword off before shoving it back into its sheath. The color of the creature's blood wasn't exactly natural, but there was still a good spatter of it across his legs and dominant hand - enough of a show to just how close the creature got to him. There's a few good scrapes across one arm, but otherwise he looks unharmed, just rattled.

When he hears the girl's voice, he looks up with a start.]

...You saw that, huh?
