 Has anyone seen Mr. Orange?

This is important. I think there's some kind of a Network error problem or something. He's not getting back to me. 

That ain't right. 

Private to Orange;;

Hey, Asshole. Are you mad or what?

[Hours later]

Kid, seriously. Quit it.

[Not long after that.]

Freddy, tell me you're okay. Twenty four hours, man. You know what that looks like don't you?

[ooc; This is exactly what it looks like :(]

[pinkeffinprofessional]

Haven't seen the kid.

[whitetwoguns]

When did you see him last, Pink?

[pinkeffinprofessional]

Last week?

[whitetwoguns]

Have you heard from him though? And don't gimme last week. Gimme this week.

[pinkeffinprofessional]

Did you fight with him again?

I haven't heard shit.

[whitetwoguns]

No, we didn't have a fucking fight.

[pinkeffinprofessional]

Okay chill the fuck out, it's legitimate.

[thenormalsquint]

No. I texted him the other day but I never got a response either.

[whitetwoguns]

No word yet for me either.

[trenchknives]

I ain't seen him around for a little while, no.

[whitetwoguns]

I have a bad feeling.

[trenchknives]

Yeah, I can kinda understand why. I'll keep an eye out, okay? I'll let you know if I hear anythin'.

[And he'd really like to say he's hoping for something good, but... around here, he never is.]

[whitetwoguns]

I know I can count on you, Jimmy.

[Because they're birds of a fucking feather if there ever were. White can see the bright side, except right now missing someone vital it is hard to see the light.]

I think I gotta make a trip to the Hall of Missing.

[trenchknives]

Okay. You let me know what happens, okay? No pressure or anythin'. Just when you can.

[dignity_misery]

He's gone.

[ And in her own cruel way, she's pretty amused about it. For a long time she had blamed the other Dogs for losing Blonde, and even with that irrational hatred cooled there's still something inside of her which thinks 'Now you know how I felt.' ]

[whitetwoguns]

And how do you fuckin' know?

[Long time, no antagonize, Carla. :c]

[dignity_misery]

That's how it works in the City.

[ She never gets rusty. ]

[whitetwoguns]

Not the only way, you know. That's how it works in the City. All kinds of shit is happening.

[dignity_misery]

And all the people you care about will, one by one, find their way back home.

[ A universal you, herself included. ]

[skintoskin]

Haven't seen him.

[whitetwoguns]

Thanks. Keep an eye and ear, will you?

[Though it looks like it is just not in Mr. White's favor.]

[skintoskin]

Sure.

When'd you last see him?

[whitetwoguns]

Yesterday. He would have gone off to work. The partner told me he didn't show up.

[skintoskin]

Not that I claim to know him really well, but that doesn't sound like Mr. O.

[mortemscintilla]

Have you, um, checked the Hall of Missing?

[ Because that's the first place you ought to look :c ]

video;

[whitetwoguns]

No. Because I know he's not missing.

[And there's a river in Egypt, y'know?]

video;

[mortemscintilla]

There's no harm in checking.

Process of elimination, and all that.

video;

[whitetwoguns]

Maybe.

[Logic though, huh?]

Tomorrow then.

video;

[mortemscintilla]

[ Oh for crying out loud. ]

Um. I could check right now, if you want?

[ Why postpone the inevitable? ]

video;

[whitetwoguns]

[He wants it to be wrong. He wants there to be a reason to keep hoping. Maybe someone kidnapped him. Maybe Orange turned into an animal. Maybe he is in the house but invisible! It's always something here!]

My legs ain't broke.

oh larry :(

[makingastatement]

So your cop's gone missing, huh?

;_;

[whitetwoguns]

Yeah, Al.

It doesn't look good.

[makingastatement]

They're always around when you don't need 'em, never when you do.

[ Al's not great with sympathy but he's quick with a joke. Helps with the pain of a loss sometimes. ]

[whitetwoguns]

That's not really the case right now but any other time I'd agree.

[He's trying to not be ill-tempered. ;-; It's not just a cop, it's Orange. The other half of the creamsicle.]

[makingastatement]

Sorry.

[ The ham-handed apology is mostly just for the bad delivery. ]

He could be invisible, a fuckin' tree or just--

[ A shrug. ]

You never know with this place.
