[Normally, Vincent wouldn't make this sort of announcement, or address, to the network as a whole. He never has, but he's desperate, and he realizes he actually needs help this time.]

I need some help. There's someone who's gone missing, but she may have just wandered off. She does that sometimes.

[And with how the city changes, it's possible she's gotten lost. He hopes she's just gotten lost.]

Her name is Arkady, she's small, thin, dresses in wispy clothing, purple eyes, keeps her head shaved. She laughs often, and she has a strangely charming sense of humor.

I don't know about everyone. [A beat.] I last saw her in our dorm two days ago.

[sociallychallenged]

Fuck.

[Okay, so. Normally people who get replaced end up going 'legit'. Finding her should be possible if that's the case. Miserable, but easy.]

[But if she's hiding? Hurt? Something? That'll be a fuck of a lot harder. And his gut twists up at the thought of it.]

I'll go looking. If she comes back, tell her Hank's worried, alright?

[chaosvessel]

Hank isn't the only one worried.

[He swallows.]

I think she might have tried something.

[sociallychallenged]

Tried something?

...Shit.

[He doesn't know what she might have tried, he just knows that he really wishes that she hadn't been alone for it. Or he really hopes she's not alone now.]

Alright, uh... I'll get out there. I'll ask the liquor store clerks if they've seen her.

[He's actually not even suspecting the park because she'd said it felt bad.]

[It's difficult to discern emotion from Vincent's voice. The rough tone suggests it was probably damaged at some point and healed poorly, but there's a thickness to his voice that wasn't there before, that suggests he's more personally invested in Arkady's wellbeing than he'd like known.]

Thank you. [A beat.] I'm watching from above.
