@red-gaze after bonfire night

[immortalpoet]

[A day after the missing go missing....he might as well reach out. So here he is. Hello, employee.]

i heard about your boyfriend


are you in any search groups right now

[wheft]

Yes. I'll be with Elysium, who said that Izou and Yuwon will be joining us.

[ a long pause, as vergilius's sudden message takes her back to the sea. ]

Vergilius... you know what's going to happen if anything happens to him, don't you?

[immortalpoet]

[...]




[Well.]

are you going to distort, ishmael

[wheft]

Like Heathcliff? I sure hope it won't be the case.

But you never really know. He did tell us to knock him out if he went batshit, and we did just that.

me when vergilius is actually not canon-updated i'm LAUGHING

[immortalpoet]

he did what

HE GOTTA CATCH UP!!!!!!!!!!

[wheft]

Oh uh

Right

So I kind of went back home to the City recently... We'd reached T Corp, failed to get the Bough at Wuthering Heights, solved a murder mystery, then boarded a WARP train to P Corp.

[ ... ]

I should've told you sooner, huh.

OLD GUIDE YOU GOT LEFT BEHIND

[immortalpoet]

you failed AGAIN?

[wheft]

IS THIS REALLY THE TIME

[immortalpoet]

ugh


fine




but anyways. guess he distorted. you might distort. good news for all here!

i'll knock you out

[wheft]

You might accidentally kill me, though...

[immortalpoet]

if i can take care of a crowd of Fixers without actually killing then i think i can backslap you just hard enough not to blow out your brains

[wheft]

How reassuring.

Thanks, though. Hopefully it won't come to that point, but... I've been worried sick. It's like when Queequeg slipped through my fingers again.

[immortalpoet]

i know what you're feeling right now

but right now i wouldn't be dragged down by such things

let us focus on the here and now

either way. you call me. i will be there

[wheft]

...That's easy for you to say.

If I focus too much on the here and now, I'd just be wasting time. I should be out there looking for him. Or kill whoever did this.

[ ... ]

I'll talk to you later.

[immortalpoet]

[......]

who should i contact if i reach out and you won't reply

[wheft]

Elysium.

[immortalpoet]

oh? i didn't know you two knew each other

[wheft]

He threw Wriothesley a bachelor party a few months ago, ignoring the fact that we didn't get together until a couple of days later.

But yes, we know each other. I've been dragging him all around town in search of better signal among other things. He and Izou and Yuwon will be joining me in my search too.

[immortalpoet]

ah yes

i remember


that seems like a lifetime ago

should i join you as well

[wheft]

No, we shouldn't be attracting large groups after last time.

Besides, you don't need us holding you back.

[immortalpoet]

you don't need to decide things for me, miss model student

but i see your point. i will be here to call regardless
