this is jinx

i cant find my friend. ive been calling her all morning because we were going to make a bakery stand together and she wouldnt answer me. i broke into her room and all of her stuff is there but not her.

i think they took her.
she wouldnt just leave.

who else is still here? who else did they take? i cant be alone here in this place right?

if u know me, please tell me who u are and write back so i know im not here by myself. its hard to know who is who with these things.

but dont send a video or call me. just write to me or the monsters will know where i am.

but what if shes gone for good and will never come back?
what if they didnt send her home and the council is hurting her??????

[feintofhart]

We can sit here and talk about the what-ifs all day long.

[ Normally, he'd chase down whatever this council thing is... but even Claude won't take advantage of a young girl's clear panic attack.

Well, not for this, anyway. ]

What we can do is keep a clear head and create some search parties among ourselves. Take it as it comes and search to the best of our ability. We can all help.

[opheliac]

i can't go back out there. not now.
so i cant do the search party thing.

[feintofhart]

That's all right. I can get a head start.

What kinds of monsters are you worried about?

[opheliac]

the sketchy ones. they want to eat me.
i ran in here when they were chasing me.
i dont know if theyre still outside the cave waiting.
theyre super big. u should be able to see them.

( protip: he won't. )

[feintofhart]

Well, I've felled a monster or two in my time. I think I'll take my chances.

You said somewhere else that someone else was coming to get you, right? Think they'll be able to get you home safely once they arrive?

[opheliac]

yeah. my dads pretty tough. so i know he will be able to get here and take me home.

[feintofhart]

[ Right... her dad. Vi told him about that. Claude's not about to give the game away, though. ]

Okay. Good. Then he can take care of you from there. But once you're home and rested, you let me know if you'd like some help searching. Okay?

[opheliac]

yeah. yeah thanks chad. ill let u know.
