Ratio's missing.

And not just in the "they've left this world" way people tend to go missing, someone took him. And if I find out that it's one of you--

I'm finding him and there is nothing on this backwater dying planet that will keep me from destroying whatever is between me and him. That's your one and final warning.

Why would one of us do something like that? If he's actually missing, we're the ones who are going to do everything we can to find him!

So try clearing that head of yours enough to realize that much so we can start being a little more rational about what to do.

[stonehearts]

I can name two Outsiders who'd be happier if Ratio vanished, if you'd like. Or are you going to pretend that everyone gets along swimmingly with everyone else?

[coordination]

You should know by now that I don't pretend.

[ And maybe Aven should have gone to accuse and threaten those two people personally instead of everyone! God it's like he's overdramatic and extra or something. ]

But instead of pointing fingers let's actually get some solid answers. Has anybody gone to check the other base and cities we have access to? Including their outskirts. Populated areas will all look the same, but the Duel Blitz can pick up on heat sources so if there's a chance he left the city, I can check those areas.

I have one of the locator rings. Ratio always keeps his on so I can find him and there's nothing. No emotions, no location, nothing. If you want to look into places he's not going to be, be my guest, but I'm not going to waste my time pretending that something hasn't happened to him

( he's just GAY leave him ALONE )

[coordination]

If I didn't think something happened to him, I wouldn't be offering to help.

The rings didn't work in Transylvania, and we were all closer than we thought. So we can't rely solely on that to confirm or deny anything if something's jamming his similarly.

He didn't just get kidnapped in his sleep in the middle of the night. He was going to pick up a package and it's still there, he never got to it. Someone took him, he wouldn't leave--

[ A mysterious disappearance is a mysterious disappearance... ]

We're going to look into it. Dearka's already working on getting a few of us together to check things out where you were.

We'll find him.

[stonehearts]

I have to find him, I have to. He was just here, he wouldn't leave, he wouldn't--

( it's clear that Aventurine is becoming increasingly erratic and panicked, though as to the why beyond the obvious, well. that's for him to know and no one else to find out! )
