[ Good morning, everyone! It is around 5:30 when the sleep-clotted tones of William's voice come through the CommLink. ] Is anyone friends with Theo?

[ A normal question, asked at a normal time. ]


[ WARDENS ]


Theo Crawford's missing. [ A pause. ] 19, red hair. Looks like he's wasting away.

[ Likes magic, reading, and chess. Liable to kill someone for a cigarette. ] His sheets are gone, so we may be looking for a body. [ It's dispassionate, his voice sealed off against any emotion. ] I'm checking with the Admiral about that.




ooc: JUST A NOTE that I am a-okay with other people finding Theo/inmates finding him and lying to William about it/what have you, this is just a post to get the word out! He has a log over here.

[ Because this is text, he takes a moment. Doesn't say, "shut up about the fucking tickets." ]

You gonna help look or what?

[Right, of course. His punishment for getting a jab in is now he has to pretend he gives a shit whether the kid turns up alive or not.

He super doesn't want to help, but the optics of that are bad - opens him up for everyone shooting down his arguments by just clubbing them with a tu quoque. You know, like William just did now. Like putting a bowling ball on the chessboard and saying you have the biggest queen.If he wants to be found, he will be, and if he doesn't want to be found -

Ah. There it is.]

You sly fucker. You almost had me.

If he's escaped, or trying to escape, I am not going to help the guards track him down.

I'll help you look for him to make sure he's not hurt somewhere, but if I find him and he's on his way out, I'm going to pretend I found an empty room. Sounds good?

[this is fun, actually. Nobody's gotten that close to actually laying a good trap for him in a long time.]

volk if you want to play chess you should FIND THEO

[omniavincit]

I was kinda hoping you all knew and weren't telling. [ "Hope" is a strong word: it was more of a brief, childish fantasy. He has no doubt they're looking for a body. ]

Which arm of the ship do you want?

[saklas]

Honey, no, we're not smart enough for that.

You didn't say 'sounds good,' so it's a good thing I don't actually need you to agree. 💖

I can get into most of the third wing, I'll start there.

[omniavincit]

I hereby accept your terms.

I left a message for the Navarch, but her announcements have all been at 7. [ So: one and a half hours of searching and waiting. At least. ]

[saklas]

Oh, I can't wait to hear what she has to say. I really can't.

[Off he goes to search, though.

Wait, he should probably put on shoes for the first time in 4 days. Yes. Then search.]
