V ϟ [IM] ϟ If Found Please Return To...

[notthatjason]

[Jason is on the IM trying not to look as exhausted and injured as he feels. Oh, he's certainly not as bad off as those stuck in the Big House, but it's clear that Jason saw action last night. There's a troubled look in his eyes, though it may not be for the reasons you think.]

I understand that some items may have been taken last night during all the turmoil. I'm not missing anything that I can tell and if any of my legionnaires are, please let me or Reyna know.

[Jason pauses and then adds.]

...but I am missing a person. The person in question is John Egbert of the Fifth Cohort. The Fifth still does not have it's Centurions here, but John is my half-brother and obviously one of the legion, so I felt like it should be my responsibility to ask...

Has anyone seen John since last night or has any idea what might have happened to him? I know I saw him go into the woods at some point, but I lost track of him very shortly after that.

[Another pause and since Jason isn't 100% sure how to end this he says.]

Thanks.

[It had been more of a general 'you' in any case, Dave not being so narrow-minded as to place the blame on one person. John is a bullheaded idiot, he's not entirely surprised he ran off.

It's just that he's now missing that has his stomach churning.]

Nghhh. [Dave presses both hands against his face.] Fucking-- This is just like him. Did anyone else go missing?

[notthatjason]

Not that I've heard about. In all the chaos who knows, but John lived with me so it was a little more obvious to me that he was missing. I'm sure other Romans would have reported a missing member from their Cohorts by now.

[He does look apologetic. He knows John and Dave were good friends.]

[wordtechgodhood]

[Siiiiigh.]

Yeah. Yeah. [He swallows, a little too heavily for it to be normal.]

Right. Thanks, Jason. If you hear anything...

[notthatjason]

You will be one of the first I tell, promise.

[Again, he knows Dave and John are close, so of course Dave is going to get that information as soon as Jason hears anything.]

I'm going to speak to Reyna and Chiron about it as well, if he didn't see this message already.

[wordtechgodhood]

.. Thanks.

[Dave frowns and rubs his thumb against the bridge of his nose. Wow, this sucks.]

You'd be doing me a solid if you tell me what they say. Not everything, just.. what's relevant.

[notthatjason]

[Jason considers the request. He certainly doesn't like keeping secrets from his Legion. He eventually nods.]

I'll pass on what I can, Dave.

[wordtechgodhood]

[He nods once, shortly.]

Yeah. See you later, dude.
