Format: Starting in prose, but will change if you want
Summary: After not being able to find Molly all day Romeo asked on the network. He is now searching the whole tower looking for her.
Warnings: Lots of sadness

No. Molly was not gone. Romeo was not going to believe it, because it just couldn't be so. She must just be hiding somewhere. Maybe she was sad and wanted to be alone. Though that wasn't really like Molly, maybe she had decided to go into the maze and got lost.

Or maybe the bad people had got her once and for all...

No... He had to keep his spirits up, she had to be somewhere. He began in the cafeteria, checking everywhere including the oven and the freezers. "MOLLY?" He called. He stopped people when he saw them asking if they'd seen her.

"She's bigger than me and wears cool hats and is a superhero!" He told them if they didn't know her by name. He checked all the floors, even the really scary ones. He swam about in the aquarium to see if she was in the water, and ran around the forest, remembering to look upwards in case she was hiding from the animals.

"MOLLY!"

He didn't find her. He ran through the dormitory halls poking his head into rooms and asking if people had seen her.

But he was starting to expect the answer no. It was impossible to keep his spirits up, tears kept welling in his eyes as he tore desperately through the last coridoors before pushing open the door to room 1-03 slowly with shaking hands. He ran over to Molly's bed, it was neater than it should be. He opened her trunk and stared for a few moments at the emptiness inside before a sob escaped his lips and he fled.

He had suspected it from the moment Ienzo had told him that her name wasn't on the list anymore. But now the truth came crashing down on him. Molly, his best friend in the tower, as best a friend as Alfredo had been was gone, gone and the bad people had taken her and were probably doing horrible horrible things to her.

He stumbled into his own room and crashed onto his bed sobbing, not even bothering to keep it quiet. Molly was gone and it was like all the light had been sucked out of the world.

Threaded | Flat

Ienzo had been filtering down the tower looking for Romeo, since as usual he neglected to set a place to meet. And by the time he was done asking around in the cafeteria, Ienzo had hit that floor too, and they found one another -- finally. It didn't take a genius to read the expression on Romeo's face and figure out the results.

Passing by the door, Ψiioniic paused as he heard the sound of crying. Not that he was the sort of person who had to stop and make sure that a crying person was alright, not if it was a random stranger. But somehow this sobbing sounded familiar, though he'd never heard it so... heartfelt before.

Sure enough when he poked his head in, he saw Romeo sprawled out over the sleeping rectangle. "Romeo?" he said, startled. "What ith it? Are you hurt?"

It was kind of hard to miss a hysterical little kid, running around and calling out someone's name. Ven had abandoned whatever food item he had been consuming by the time Romeo was opening up freezers and ovens, because he was fairly sure he wouldn't be finding a person in there.

"Hey, calm down! What happened to Molly now?"

As promised.
