[Stop the presses, it's a video post today. Maybe Equius really doesn't want to bother, because it's a very short message, and he looks like he's pretty tired out from... something or another.]

If anyone sees a tyrian-blood troll named Nepeta Leijon, please tell me. Immediately.

[His expression is unusually severe.]

[Yeah, evidently he didn't read the first post. Sorry, Equius.]

[mutab1e]

[He doesn't know the not-so-fishy fishbro -- or at least, he doesn't think he does (newsflash, it's Eridan) -- but he DOES know the fishy kittycat, and in fact that is exactly who he is talking about.]

-(+he ca+ gir1)
-(+he Empress)
-(Where is she)

[nobirdie]

... No, I'm really sorry.

What does she look like? Maybe I can help you find her.

[mutab1e]

-(Sma11 fema1e +ro11)(muscu1ar bui1d)
-(Horns simi1ar in shape +o purrbeas+ ears)
-(Shor+ choppy hair)
-(Pa1e pink swimming cap)

[He sure does know all of this off the top of his head.]

[nobirdie]

... Thanks.

I'll look for her. If I find her, I'll let you know, okay?

[ After all, he'd feel bad if someone got hurt or went missing like Hiyoko had. ]

I hope you can find her.

[mutab1e]

-(Youre we1come)
-(I rea11y apprecia+e i+)
-(+hank you)

[He's a little baffled that so many people... you know... care. But hey, this is awesome. Anything that gets Nepeta back is awesome.]

[nobirdie]

It's no problem. I can't do much more, unfortunately.

[ Well, he's a pretty caring, if quiet boy, and he understands wanting to find someone close to you, so it's not that weird. ]

[mutab1e]

-(I+s a11 I can ask)

[True, but he doesn't come from a world that is actually renowned for its citizens not giving a shit about each other. This troll disease called compassion is a much rarer creature, especially since Equius is basically the least cared-about of all -- actually, his words remind him somewhat of Nepeta herself.]

[restitchtime]

What, the catfish? She was rooming with me. What do you want her for?

[mutab1e]

-(Yes +he ca+fish)
-(Her name is Nepe+a 1eijon)
-(Wha+ room are you in)
-(Have you seen her recen+1y)

[restitchtime]

I know her name, but I also know someone with the same name who I'm marginally more attached to. She gets an epitaph for showing up late to the clusterfuck.

I'm in 1-11, but I don't think you'll find her here anymore. All her shit's gone and her name's off the sign on the door.

[mutab1e]

[No... shit... NO.]





-(Wha+)
-(Are you sure)

[restitchtime]

I live in the same goddamn room as her. I'm pretty fucking sure of what I'm saying.

[mutab1e]

-(A1righ+)
-(Im sorry)
-(+hank you for +e11ing me)

[Equius may or may not be sprinting to room 1-11 as we speak and slamming on the door. He really doesn't give a shit care shit about politeness right now, NEPETA IS GONE.]
