[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.))

[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]

[sword_redemption]

[He gives a sound of assent.]

Also. We, uh, we may need the medbay. When [not 'if', dammit] we find her.

[audio]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

[And he tries not to sound a little... uncomfortable.]

Yes, of course. I'm always on call, and I'm sure First Aid will be as well.

[sword_redemption]

...everything all right? [You sound weird.]

[audio]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

I'm fine. I'm just... concerned. I guess I didn't want to draw her disappearance to such conclusions. [HOW EMOTE???]

[audio]

[sword_redemption]

I think we're all concerned. [Understatement!]

Can you think where else she might have gone?

[audio]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

No. I'm not familiar with her usual "hang-outs", besides the clinic and club.

You don't suppose... she's wandered off into the Badlands?

She doesn't seem the type to just disappear without saying anything. But then again, you know her better than I.

[Frag. Well, Drift should have figured.]

I don't know. She'd said she was really tired. She didn't mention anything like that.

She didn't before, though, either.

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

[sigh] I guess someone ought to comb the place for her? Just in case. I don't think it's too irrational to be suspicious about pretty much everything on this planet. As much as I'd like to respect Vandal's privacy, if her fatigue was a symptom of something worse, and... [No. No negativity.] But, I don't know; might be an idea to consider, if you haven't all ready.

[audio]

[sword_redemption]

....something worse?

[That sounds like Ambulon might suspect something.

[audio]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

Possibly. Fatigue could just be a symptom of an underlying ailment. Though, given both the physical, emotional, and mental strain she's been through, I...

[Hmm. He decides just to trail off there.]
