Ariel appears on the network through the video feed of her laptop looking fairly worried but also a little annoyed.]

Has anyone seen or heard from Liam over the weekend? I know hes been having some troubles lately, but he usually keeps in touch with me. Except he stopped doing that Saturday. [Only she hadn't noticed until Monday because of reasons.] His last text was pretty normal for him so now I'm worried that he might have been kidnapped.

Before anyone asks, yes I've been to his house and no he isn't there and Jack seems to be gone too. I am really worried about him though, Like seriously worried. Anyone who has known him for five minutes will know why.

Recently he gave me a bunch of his shirts. I should've known, that was just a way to get rid of them!

[He's got his phone out again.] AC's off, but Liam likes keeping it off, anyway. We should look for the dog's leash and maybe call his family... I expect Teagan's half forgotten me, and I don't know any of his other folks. We could ask Gabriel to drop a call.

[sylvanguard]

Gabriel was emailing Teagan last I heard and Killian said he'd inform me if anything popped up over the network.

[She starts looking around for the leash, unsure if she wants to actually touch anything. It was just messy and cluttered and not necessarily filthy, but the boy did not know how to clean up his own messes really.]

[espigeonage]

Good.

If he went on a trip... He doesn't drive. Can he? Does he keep a car here? Or would he have called a taxi from the airport?

[sylvanguard]

Dude, usually bikes places when he can't bum a ride off me.

[To emphasize, she pulls out her phone and shows him some older texts, where literally it is "Ariel can I have a ride, I have X to do"]

I am like his car life line. And only because it's a prius.

[Julien steals a glance and smiles fleetingly.]

Yikes. So... if he went on vacation he must have gotten a taxi or something to take him away. Weird of him if he usually asks you, but the water dish thing makes me think he's chosen to go away for a while.

[sylvanguard]

He could also have forgotten to fill it and it evaporated. It's been hot and you said the AC was off. We still don't know if he just went somewhere or if he was kidnapped walking Jack.

[She shoves her phone back into her pocket and keeps looking around. The leash it seemed was not anywhere to be found.]

Whatever happened it was definitely with Jack.

[espigeonage]

True...

Yeah. We could bring in a werewolf and find out where he was last, if he got in a car anywhere. The rain recently makes that trickier though, outside.

I don't suppose he keeps lists? Checklists like, things he needs to pack. Though I guess that'd mean being self-aware of his own tendency to leave stuff out.

[sylvanguard]

This is Liam.... planning is not his specialty as far as I can tell. I just... REALLY hope he didn't do something stupid either.

[Like commit suicide which is her other fear.]

I don't know if Isabela told you... but when we were attacked by the mafia, I'm pretty sure some of them died. That plus the nightmares he has been having? I'm hoping he didn't decide to just.. you know.

[espigeonage]

She kinda downplayed the dangerous stuff.

[Julien eyes her, trying to figure out what this other anxiety is. After a moment he puts what's left of a hand on her shoulder.]

You want to sit down? Make some tea maybe. I can check the rest of the house.

[sylvanguard]

[She flashes him a quick smile, looking up at him and reaching up to rest a hand on his.]

Nah sitting won't do me any god. I rather keep moving. I'm going to check the kitchen again and see if he took Jack's food. I wasn't thinking about i in my first peek through.

[espigeonage]

[He squeezes her shoulder, digging claws into her shirt a bit.]

Right. I'll check this side, these rooms here - they're handles and not doorknobs, so I can manage fine.
