[ I know y'all are busy with your Phases and Waves and whatnot, but there's something more important going on— ]

Has anyone seen Ramiel?

[ WHERE is his LITTLE BOY ‼️‼️‼️ ]

Comments

[secondthoughts]

[ HELLO ???? ]

The what, Ganymede??

[secondthoughts]

Okay well good luck with that

Ramiel is a person, Barrett. There better not be big bowls of him in Lumina Cloth.

[gluttoning]

Oh. Oops. No, ramen is definitely not made of people.

That's the flick reaper guy that was at the beach where you guys fought Mithrun and I, right?

[secondthoughts]

Yeah, real short kid. Bad attitude, wears a mask, speaks with a synthesizer, usually surrounded by cats? Seen him?

[ ur short brother, ]

[tablescraps]

Sure.

( Doesn't even say good luck with finding Dosei, )

[gluttoning]

He was really smart. And loud.

No, I haven't. I saw him on the beach after I woke up in the waves. But I've been stuck in the guild area since then. I haven't seen him there, or in the infirmary.

Is he still marked as online for anybody?

[ganymed]

Oh. I was about to say that barrier in Hidden Forbidden Radiation still hasn't gone away, and it's annoying...

But then I realized that had nothing to do with Ramiel missing. I didn't have time to edit out the rest of the comment before I accidentally sent.

[murrmoire]

I see... So he's been gone for over a week...

Is there anywhere you haven't checked yet?

[bleatingedge]

i'll do a sweep of the recreational areas and let you know if i see anything

hopefully he's just being... broody or something

[secondthoughts]

Oh, right.

Well, good to know, at least. And a relief.

I'll keep looking.

[secondthoughts]

Collectively, others and I have looked everywhere reasonable. Basically everywhere except the randomly generated Areas.

I don't have access to every guild but I didn't think he was a part of any besides mine.

[secondthoughts]

I hope. He usually broods in the guild but he's not here.

Thanks, Leo.

[secondthoughts]

Shit.

[ So no one's seen him since the Tarvos/Macha fight... Very cool. Very distressing. (And for Hector, very guilt-inducing. Why didn't he notice earlier?) ]

Yeah, he's still online for me.

[gluttoning]

If his messages aren't bouncing back, then maybe it's like what happened with you.

Are you worried it could be Cubia again?

[secondthoughts]

That'd be the least worst thing. At least he'd come back to us at some point, if it were...

But I don't think I can put all my hopes in that basket. I don't know. I feel like Cubia's style is loud and theatric. We would've known if something happened to Ramiel because of him.

[gluttoning]

If you were careful about it, maybe you could try to ask Hien.

[secondthoughts]

[ ...

...

... >:( ]

Hien hates me.

[gluttoning]

What?

Why?

[secondthoughts]

I don't know. I don't stick around long enough to find out.

[ they've only ever interacted like twice, ]

[gluttoning]

That's not a great way to know if somebody hates you or not. I don't think so, anyway.

If you really don't want to talk to him, one of us can.

[secondthoughts]

[ There's an aggravated sigh coming from the other side of the conversation. He will take every option to avoid Hien. ]

Yes, please. Thank you.

[gluttoning]

[Can't believe you're getting the college kid to fight your battles for u, Hector]

Sure.

You need to talk to him yourself at some point, though.

[secondthoughts]

Lol sure. Let's see if there's a secret third interaction that isn't "attack Hector on sight" or "accuse Hector of propositioning Hien."

But thanks Barrett. You're a good kid.
