[Text because it's easier than talking right now. He's annoyed. Angry, even. He knows that it isn't something as simple as her deciding not to visit this week that's keeping River away. She would've made that clear to him long ago if she'd wanted to stay away. And besides, Charles would've still been able to find her if that was all it was.]

River Tam is missing.

[And he wants answers.]


[locked to auCharles and Raven]

I have something for each of you.

[And for his own Charles. But he doesn't plan on wandering far enough away for him to ever need it.]

[concerned, but hopeful] You're certain? She seems the sort to wander off without notice.

...Which, I suppose, is worrying in and of itself.

Not like this.

I know someone capable of locating her. She isn't within reach any longer.

Could something be interfering with their abilities?

text forever

[lehnsherr]

There is a possibility. But they would be the most likely one to notice.

voice forever!

[thecricketer]

Hmm. Do you know how far their range extends, generally? If we search for her, the edge of that would be a good place to start.

[lehnsherr]

Further than she'd reach on foot.

[Too bad there isn't a Cerebro here.]

[thecricketer]

[his voice grows grim] On her own steam, you mean. [the thought of someone, something taking her - he barely knows her, but it makes him feel a bit sick inside

she's only a child, and she tried to be kind]

[lehnsherr]

She isn't foolish enough to accept help from those who'd seek to harm her. And she wouldn't have chosen to disappear like this.

[thecricketer]

[a weary, worried sigh] This sort of thing happens entirely too often to people I know.

I wish I could advise further, but - I don't know this world, not really.

But I can offer my help, however you need it.
