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.]

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

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

Yes, that one.

[As though there's any other, come on Guy.]

I'd assume they have, but I doubt they got a worthwhile answer. I do know the names of the disappeared show up on the gravestones on the 48th floor.

[Three guesses why he was there when you ran into each other, but only the first counts.]

...Mmm. So they snatch people away and make everyone think that they've been killed for good, huh?

[Not that this was what actually happened here. But he'd like to be optimistic.]

One way of looking at it, I guess. Seems like there was talk of other people disappearing recently as well.

So if Tear's one of those people, then the graveyard would be the first place to look to double-check. Alright.

[There's a long pause before Guy quickly adds:]

Thanks, Asch.

[Equally long pause.]

It's not a problem. I'm concerned, too.

[So much for healing artes lessons.]

[He starts to type out a wisecrack... and then slowly deletes it. It's not necessary.]

I'll let you know what I find. Let me see if Jade or Luke know anything first.

[The day after their fight--]

Just so you know: Tear's name is in the graveyard.
