[ a public text, arriving sometime between three and four in the afternoon - in other words, peak boredom hours for your average road-tripping teenager, non-human ones included, apparently. ]
so any1 know how long this road trips gonna take?? im kinda new here
anywayz i have a complaint. driving around in these vans is sooooo slow. u would think if they can build a teleporter theyd make some faster transportation but i guess thats 2 much to ask. SHEESH
i even ran ahead to try scouting out any kaijus (ur welcome btw) and didnt find anything!
[ only more scraps of those who'd already passed on, and that wasn't fun - just sad. ]

well
some pieces of fabric like a hat or sock maybe and some food wrappers n stuff. if there were footprints the wind erased em already...
i didnt pick them up. didnt feel right to mess w that but i can prob find them again
no subject
If possible, the locations of these items should be marked on a map. Perhaps there is a pattern or direction they are leading to. You may ignore anything that is light enough to be picked up by the wind. Their locations would not be useful for this purpose.
no subject
u got a map? maybe one u can send to me via brain link or w/e?? or i can run over to whichever car ur in
[ the cars are driving at this very moment, but that doesn't deter him. ]
no subject
Would this suffice?
no subject
[ still not okay with it, though. give him a few seconds to figure out how to mentally annotate this map - a different process than the last digital map he had to mentally annotate, annoyingly enough. After a minute or two, he sends them back over with some red circles drawn in a few areas, large handwriting above them noting what he found there. A shoe; a necklace; a bag with moldy food. ]
there!
did that work
no subject
[ Hm. Not a lot out there—not nearly enough to form a pattern to direct their search. ]
Nothing useful. Either we are looking in the wrong place, or the missing individuals have been taken by something, or someone. It would not be possible for them to trek this far on foot without adequate preparation.
[ He wasn't under any illusions that they would still be living, but that didn't mean he couldn't try to find them. ]
Thank you for your assistance.
no subject
and yea somethings up. it doesnt make sense for sum1 2 abandon their food in the desert either. maybe our kaijus a kidnapper
no subject
[ So, worse than just disappearing, they were probably eaten... but that wouldn't explain a total lack of evidence. No bones or leftover corpses. Perhaps Sonic is right in that the missing individuals are being taken to the kaiju's abode. There may be a cave or underground tunnels for it to hide in.
Or perhaps... ]
If you intend to continue scouting ahead of the vans, I implore you to be vigilant. No one will be able to come to your aid if you find yourself falling under the same influence as those who have gone missing.

wdym influence tho?
i thought u said it was snacking on ppl not inviting them over 4 tea
no subject
As I'm sure you're aware, it has been luring people from the city into the desert through unknown means. Judging by the lack of rumours, it is likely that this ability is realized either through airborne particles causing hallucinations, or through incorporeal means, such as memory manipulation. You may consider it akin to mind control if that instills the level of caution you ought to be approaching the situation with.
no subject
(not that i have any better ideas)
anyway dont worry i die hard
we r gonna have to get close 2 it eventually if we want 2 keep more ppl from getting hurt anyway
besides it might not affect me the way it affects u guys! different species n all
no subject
Do you at least have a plan should the worst become reality? It is hardly wise to take risks without planning for contingencies. Don't be a fool and gamble with your life when there is no need to.
