Level 15 [Video]

_{[Ralph isn't beating around the bush today. The feed flicks on to show his huge, angry face, his brick-shaped brows scrunched up in frustration.]}

Okay, so, any a' you seen a disgusting little wolf boy with long black hair, sharp teeth, and purple eyes? Kinda looks like a mobile pile of garbage? He's been missing for about a week and he's not answering his 'gear even though his number's still in service and I know he hasn't been home because there are still french fries on the floor and--

_{[He stops himself and scrubs at the back of his head.]}

Anybody know if he's alright?

[paishodown]

I haven't seen him since a security guard mistook me for his mom...

[ SHE'S STILL KIND OF OFFENDED BY THAT. ]

Do you know him?

[rocketralph]

_{[He makes a face. He can sort of see the resemblance.]}

Yeah, we're pals.

[grapeeater]

... I don't know. I haven't seen him either. Do you know who else he usually talks to? They might know.

Video

[anexcitableboy]

...so it ain't just me he's not picking up for?

[Jimmy doesn't like the sound of this one bit.]

Video

[rocketralph]

Yeah! Won't even respond to text...not that he knows how to right. But you'd think he'd send a keysmash or somethin'. If I didn't know any better, I'd say somethin' fishy's going on...

video;

[rocketralph]

'Fraid not. I've checked all the circus tents and everything.

Video

[anexcitableboy]

Any chance he left his 'gear somewhere and forgot? Or....

No, if he dropped it down the sewer or something he'd just go in after it.

Video

[rocketralph]

Right? That's like the one thing I've seen him be careful with. When's the last time you saw 'em? You two close?

Video

[anexcitableboy]

We went on vacation together, beginning of the month. We talk pretty regular over video, but...I dunno, it's been like a week.

[That's a long time for Wrath to be quiet.]

Yeah. We're real close. He's kinda like my kid brother or something.

Video

[rocketralph]

_{[Ralph grunts as he tries to remember the answer to his own question.]}

I think...th' last time I saw him he was asking me if I wanted to go somewhere. I wasn't paying attention.

_{[Is that a pang of guilt? He sure hopes not. It costs a lot to have those surgically removed.]}

[paishodown]

Do you know where you last saw him?

[ A missing little kid is. Extremely disconcerting. ]

[rocketralph]

Yeah, he was, uh, in the hall.

_{[Which hall? NONE YA BUSINESS>]}

I think he was going out to play? Or meet someone? I can't remember.

[paishodown]

Well, if he was going to meet someone... Was it someone you know?

[ This guy is... kind of unfortunately vague. ]

[rocketralph]

I don't think so...he kinda does his own thing, you know?

Video

[anexcitableboy]

Well shit.

He...uh...doesn't really know how to deal with snow, I bet...

You think he got caught outside in a storm?

Video

[rocketralph]

_{[He drags his fingers through his hair. Yikes. He hasn't thought of that.]}

I sure hope not. Kid doesn't know shoes.

Video

[anexcitableboy]

I know.

And it's been nice and hot and he's been running around outside a lot.

[Jumping jacked up Christ, this is not looking good.]

Video

[rocketralph]

Yeah...Oh, Jeez. Hey, y'got a flyin' type? All I can do is start searchin' on foot.

[paishodown]

Yeah, but... he's a kid.

[ Asami sighs. ]

Is there anyone in charge of him?

[rocketralph]

...


...........No?

Video

[anexcitableboy]

No, I don't. But I got a psychic type, maybe... I mean, he don't usually listen to me, but for a missing kid in the snow I bet he'd send out psychic vibes or...something....

That's a thing, right?

Video

[rocketralph]

It's better'n nothin'!

[paishodown]

Where does he usually... stay?

[rocketralph]

_{[OH Sega Dreamcast.]}


...


He likes the Pokemon centers. They have free snacks.

[paishodown]

You mean he doesn't even sleep in a house?
