Case 21

[manofgnee]

Sorry about yesterday...I don't know what happened. I mean, I know it was a curse and it had to do with names, but...why a straitjacket? Weirdness.
I guess now I wanna learn more about my name, though. Maybe I'll finally figure out some reason why my folks gave it to me. Besides to torment me, of course, which will always be the mail reason.

Or not. Who knows? I may find nothing? Ah well, that's life! And this gives me a chance to adventure to the library, which I haven't done yet. And books are always fun. Bit musty sometimes, but always fun.

...

Speaking of life...Has anybody seen Joey? He's sort of a ghost, but not really because he's solid, and he uses really weird slang...he's my friend, and I was gonna ask him what happened to him yesterday, only I can't seem to find him...

Sure hope he's ok and not drunk in an alley somewhere. Alleys are not the best place to sleep, I know. I mean, they could be a lot worse, like a dumpster...oh, I hope he's not in a dumpster either. That'd be bad. Not that I'd know, I'm sure there are some very nice people who live in dumpsters!

...I forgot what I was saying. OH YEAH, JOEY. If anybody sees him, lemme know. I was gonna ask him what he could know about the monsters. He seems like the kind of detectivey guy that would know stuff about things.

Is he from your world?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

No, he's not, but he's still a friend, so when a friend goes missing, it's always slightly concerning. At least Vladimir is still here...or not missing, anyway.

[inmyothertights]

How long has he been missing?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Dunno exactly...I talked to him last week...

[inmyothertights]

Have you checked the Hall?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

What hall?

[inmyothertights]

The one that shows the people who were ported out.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

We have a place that shows people who left?

Huh. Didn't know about that...

[inmyothertights]

I can take you over there, if you want.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

...I'd like that.

I don't wanna go alone...

[inmyothertights]

Yeah, I'll go.

Don't worry about it.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

...you think he's really there?

[inmyothertights]

He might be. If he's not at least you know to keep looking, right?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's true...

...I hope he isn't there...
