[After their last conversation, Drift has realized Vandal was right. He needed to 'man up'...whatever that technically meant. And it wasn't the kind of conversation he thought you should have over comm. Or entirely sober. So he's stopped by the bar and picked up a bottle of that whiskey stuff she usually drank, and drove out to Vandal's little mobile trailer.]

[When the voice message begins, it may be clear to someone who knows Drift fairly well that he's trying to hide a sort of nervous anxiety.]

...anyone, uh, anyone seen Vandal?

((OOC: He's at Vandal's place, I'm keeping this vague here so more people who get involved can come on by the trailer and discover stuff! They will also likely discover a broken whiskey bottle from him dropping it.))

[percept]

I haven't heard from her since she announced her hiatus.

Is everything alright?

[sword_redemption]

[He pauses to lock the feed.]

....I don't think so. She's not here.

audio locked

[percept]

At her trailer? [ Oh dear. ]

Is there any sign of where she might have gone?

audio locked

[sword_redemption]

Yeah.

Nothing I can find but... [Shrug. He's not really a detective.] It looks like, uh, something happened.

[If he doesn't say it out loud does that make it not happen? ]

[Video] (Can I safely assume in their conversation there's mention he was going to see her?)

[winged_knight]

[.....]

No, not since our last conversation. Ah, is she not there?

[That seems...strange.]

[Video] (More likely Wing would be the one to tell Drift to talk to her, I'm thinking )

[sword_redemption]

No. She's.. Not here.

I don't want to comm her, uh, in case....[You know. In case she hates his guts.]

[Video] (I was thinking the same thing. ;3)

[winged_knight]

I...can't imagine she'd have changed her mind.

Given the way things are around here? Any kind of disappearance is cause for--concern. [Alarm, is more like. But let's not make this panic time.] She loves you Drift, even if she's mad she'll forgive you.

[And if she doesn't was it really love?]

[Video] (you know Drift too well )

[sword_redemption]

I can. Wing. I.

I think something's wrong.

I mean, more than that. [You know: the Hindenburg of his social life.]

[Video]

[aerospacecommander]

Lose one of your pets?

[Video]

[sword_redemption]

She's not a pet.

[Drift still has weird memories of Starscream kind of hitting on him. So...ewww. And also...suspicious. ]

What do you know about this? [Drift: DETECTIVE.]

[Video]

[aerospacecommander]

If you kept her locked up in a cage, she wouldn't be lost now would she?

[And he's not answering the question because he's a jerk like that.]

[Video]

[sword_redemption]

That's slavery. That's everything we fight against.

[Everything he fought against, even as a Decepticon.]

voice;

[thxforthememories]

No. No, she didn't call me back.

[And guess who's been waiting by the proverbial phone the whole time?]

voice;

[sword_redemption]

_frag.

Do you know where she might have gone? Or...anyone who might have wanted to, uh, hurt her? [Trying to be cool and collected here, despite the evidence around him.]

voice;

[thxforthememories]

Hurt her?

Why would you say that?

voice;

[sword_redemption]

[AHAHAHA NO REASON.]

It's just that she's, uh, not here.

And.

Things don't look right. [That is not a crunch of broken glass as Drift steps on something. Nope. Not at all.]

AUDIO;

[forcowardice]

She's gone?

I was gonna go-- What happened?

AUDIO;

[sword_redemption]

I don't know if she's gone. [Like, gone-gone. Wow he really doesn't want to think about that.]

She's just not here.

AUDIO;

[forcowardice]

All right, how about you try specifying?

[audio]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

She hasn't been by the clinic, or any of the usual medical facilities.

I know she said she was burnt out, but... I assumed she was just going to sleep for a while.

[audio]

[sword_redemption]

[A distressed sigh.] Thank you. If you see her or hear from her just...

Let me know.

[He doesn't want to embarrass her just because he's freaking out.]

[audio]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

Will do. And I ask the same of you. [he's not very good at showing concern, but damn he is]

AUDIO;

[inferiordude]

Can still hear her... Hm.

I'll see what I can find.

AUDIO; wow wtf notifs. x-x

[sword_redemption]

Does that mean she's alive? She's still here?

[He cuts himself off before he throws too many questions.]

AUDIO;

[inferiordude]

She's alive. S'all I got right now.

I'll keep workin'. You do the same.
