CITIZENS OF RIVERVIEW, THIS IS ALL MIGHT SPEAKING!!

[Yes buddy, everyone can tell just by that trumpet of mighty words. But after the rather energized and familiar sound, it dies down into something far more restrained and concerned; this is a serious matter, and it will be handled with utmost severity. As such, the man addresses the community at large from his hero-mode burner phone, as he tends to when needing to speak to a wider audience.]

As of recent months, the youth of Riverview had been in terrible danger — gone missing far too often, in fact, and at first I'd feared the creatures in the sky had been the potential suspect. Alas, when I leapt after the beasts and followed them to their living areas, I found no trace of those many children who had vanished...!

And now, to make matters worse... I believe even more people are starting to vanish from our streets.

Not simply children, but people of all ages and powered abilities...! Stolen away from right under our very noses. [His voice goes tense and tinged with worry, not like his usual characteristic, boisterous television-like persona, but something genuine and fraught with worry for his fellow man.] Please, feel free to use this space to report any missing persons — or share any information you may have with the general public. We need to figure out our numbers lost, and from there we can attempt to backtrack their steps and locate the reason behind this string of vanishings.

TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE, AND THE LONGER IT TAKES TO LOCATE THESE MISSING PERSONS, THE LESS CHANCE THEY HAVE AT BEING RESCUED SAFELY. RIVERVIEW! PLEASE BE CAREFUL AND TRY TO STAY TOGETHER IF POSSIBLE! THIS IS A TRUE CRISIS.

I will leave this line open through the coming days, in case any new reports or concerns come in!

[OOC: I'll be replying around as All Might, but this is a general mingle network post for anyone who wants to point out so-and-so's missing, or have information to share but don't necessarily want to make a post for it! I figured it'd be nice to have a place where missing characters can be noted and fretted over. Have at it, guys, and threadjack to your heart's content. I'll also leave it open for future-dated stuff as well if you need it! Basically, feel free to use this however.]

[Magnus is new, this is the first he's heard of this!! Suddenly things are dire!?]

Wait.

Wait.

Taako wasn't in the house this morning.

I'm not, like, his mom, but...

[UHHHHHHHH. IS IT PANIC TIME???]

@heirwolf

[lykou]

Oh. I know him. Are you sure he didn't just go over to someone else's place? He knows magic, I don't think anyone could kidnap him.

[armcollector]

Yeah, but what if the kidnapper knows magic too? And the guy said "all ages and powered abilities"!! I guess he could be at someone else's place, but he didn't say anything about that.

[Magnus is like a dog, if you don't say bye he will whine at the door until you come home.]

[lykou]

Oh. I guess so?

[ He can't really fathom that but he's not about to argue; if this person is worried about a mutual friend, that's enough for him. ]

I can help you look for him, if you want. I'm Ryan, by the way.

1/2

[armcollector]

Hail and well met -- I'm Magnus. I'm sorta new, so I don't really know where else he'd be if he's, uh, just out somewhere.

[armcollector]

Wait. I just remembered what phones do. I'm gonna try to call him.

[lykou]

...oh. Good idea. Let me know if you reach him, okay?

[armcollector]

...It went to the mailbox thingy so I don't know what that means??? It didn't ring though.

[lykou]

Hold on, let me check my notes...

I think, if it doesn't ring, and it goes right to the mailbox, that means it can't be reached. Either it's off or broken, or it's too far away.

[armcollector]

That is three things that sound REALLY BAD???

@lightemup

[umbrastaff]

I just found the Umbrastaff in a cafe.

[armcollector]

Wait, for real? Like, just lying there?? Are you sure it wasn't a different vorebrella??

[umbrastaff]

I know my own stupid creation, Magnus.

[armcollector]

Okay-- Yeah. Okay. I'm just trying to-- Yeah. I mean, it's fine, Lup. We're gonna find him. I tried calling him and it went to the mailbox thing-- I left a message? What do we know about the kidnapper dude? Is it one dude? Is it like a million dudes? Lup???

[umbrastaff]

I dunno, Maggie. He sent me a message via magic telling me this cafe's name, and when I got there, I found the Umbrastaff in a corner. Like it had been kicked away.

[ She's got her angry tone, the smoldering temper one that threatened to flare out. ]

Nobody touches my brother.

[armcollector]

...Yeah. Nobody touches Taako.

[He takes a deep breath. Fuck.]

Were you able to track-- Wait! I've got the Lens of Straight Creepin'! We can go to the cafe and see what the footsteps around there look like!

[Thank you, something actionable. Magnus was going to explode for a second there.]

It's gonna be fine, Lup.

[umbrastaff]

I know there was a reason we kept you around.

[ She quickly gives him the name of the cafe, about as ready to get into the action as her friend. Just sitting around worrying wasn't her style.

Someone's ass needed to be set on fire for this shit. ]

[armcollector]

Yeah, it's definitely not my lovable charm and soaring wit and really good hugs, it's because I've got a monocle that tracks footprints.

[Magnus is right there with you, Lup. He all but runs to the cafe, magical lens in his hand and Railsplitter strapped to his back, just in case. He was too rushed to grab everything, though.

He's certain Lup will already be there.]

[almightiness]

[Ah — oh hey, Magnus. You probably don't remember him, but he's a fellow muscular bro.

And also, he's a little concerned now.]

Taako hasn't been heard from? Perhaps you should try his network device — call it and see if he picks up! I would hate for us to let our imaginations grow too wild if a call sets our minds at ease...!

[armcollector]

Thanks for reminding me what phones do!!!

[Brb calling Taako.]

Uh-- it went to the... mailbox. Thing.

[almightiness]

... Ah, I see...!

[This is not shaping up to be Good. But he tries to sound positive anyway.]

How consistent is he with answering calls?

[armcollector]

UhhhHHHHHH LUP SAID SHE FOUND HIS UMBRELLA IN A CAFE???

[THIS IS GETTING TO BE VERY UNPOSITIVE.]

[almightiness]

[.........]

Perhaps he simply misplaced his umbrella?

[All Might has no idea the importance of said umbrella, he's sorry, buddy.]

[armcollector]

Yeah, not this umbrella!! Dude, I think he's seriously gone!

[almightiness]

Ahh, shit.

[This is very grave.]

Whoever is the cause of this — if there is indeed someone at the root of it — they must be particularly strong. I recall Taako is quite a powerhouse to be reckoned with!
