[ open action ]

[Todd has gone out to the Hall of the Missing this evening, after Justin didn't come home and didn't respond. The City has pulled Justin in and tossed him back out so many times already that he couldn't help how quickly he became concerned.

Certainly he was hoping not to find Justin's portrait in the Hall, but that was not the case. For a long moment, he lingers in silence and looks at the likeness of his friend.]

[ voice ]

[When Todd returns home, he makes the following audio post:]

Um... I'm sure there are a lot of people who know Justin Pendleton, he's- he's been here a long time, coming and going. I just figured I should let everyone know, he um... he's left the City.

[Give him a moment there.]

He's left before, for months, and... and he's come back, so... maybe he will again. But for now, well. I just wanted to make sure everyone knew, that's all.

[End.]

Shit.

[That's about all there is to say to that. He and Justin weren't exactly close, but there was a certain camaraderie between them, partially for sharing a face, partially for sharing certain attributes about their personalities.]

Sorry.

[valentineluke]

A true loss for the City inhabitants.

I'm so sorry. You guys were pretty close, right?

He's gone? [WOW THAT CAME OUT WAY TOO PERKY. Although she has to admit, it's kind of a relief having him not around. He intimidated the crap out of her.] I mean. I'm sorry.

[Neil doesn't bother answering on the Network for obvious reasons. Obvious reasons being the fact that he is sitting on the couch, holding a book and not reading it. He's looking at it, mostly, but not turning the pages.

Justin has gone and come so many times; maybe it won't be final. But Neil has never been good at being an optimist when he's upset.]
