i. Private to Keith / backdated to Masquerade

[texting because he's not sure where Keith is and if he'll hear him trying to call]

I heard something that has me concerned.

Someone at the masquerade said she used to room with a woman named Allura who fits her description.

She's not here anymore. Which makes me wonder where is she?

ii. OPEN / day after

Question for those who have been here for a while. I was just told by someone that someone I knew named Allura used to be here and that's she's no longer here.

So I wanted to find out, what happens to people who just disappear? Where are they?

It's important that I know.

Of course, it does. If she was here, then where is she now? What if she's lost beyond the wall or something? Is it normal for people to disappear like that?

I don't honestly know where she could be. I'd hope she's back home or something like that. The young woman I spoke with didn't seem to concerned with it so she seemed to think it was normal for someone to disappear.

[He sighed, glancing back over at the building where the masquerade was being held]

This may be a question for those who have been here longer, see if they know something.

Normal? [Keith frowned at the idea that something like that was normal. He also looked back at the building.] Yeah. I think we need to ask around more. I want to make sure she didn't get hurt or... something. [He didn't want to think of "something", honestly.]

I don't like that either. [Shiro nodded] We'll ask around, see if anyone know anything about what happens when people vanish.

Okay.

[Keith sighed.]

I don't know if we'd get any good answers at this point with the party, though. Maybe we can start asking around tomorrow.

[He didn't like waiting, but... Well, the best results for their efforts would be when people had clear heads and hadn't been drinking and partying.]

No, right now is probably not the best time. We'll check around later and see what others know.

[He sighed]

I didn't want to wait to tell you though.

[Keith nodded.]

Yeah. Thanks.

[He was quiet for a moment, and then looked at Shiro.]

We'll figure this out. I'm sure she's fine, though. I'd like to think she would have heard of us being here by now and contacted us if she was still here.

[Shiro sighed, closing his eyes for a moment]

Yeah. You made that announcement when you first arrived so she should have heard that. Also I can't imagine her running off into the wilderness without someone with her.

Well... I can. But, I'd hope she wouldn't.

[Allura could be just as impulsive as Keith at times.]

Still, we can keep an eye out and ask around. Maybe even check out the portal itself. She might have tried to go back.

Well, that is true... Under the right circumstances, she might.

[He nodded]

Sounds good. I'll ask about it and see if anyone has any information.

Same here. We can compare notes later.

[Keith could only figure that Allura might have headed back to the portal on her own and attempted to get back home. If that was the case, he could only hope she didn't get lost dimension hopping. That was one of the caveats, after all. If someone wanted to go back, they had to wait for the right time and resources. Just jumping through randomly could send them to the wrong place.]

Good. We'll give it a day or so then we will see what information we have come up with.

[Shiro hoped she had done that, but also hoped she hadn't been too impulsive to try too soon. Who knows where she could be]

Are you going to head back? To the party...

[Going back home at some point was definitely a Thing, but Keith hadn't meant that specifically with his question at the moment.]

Not sure about going back. Were you?

[Since he had dragged Keith out of the party so now to see if he anted to go back]

[He shrugged a little.]

The auction's over, so... not sure there's much reason to at this point.

[And he'd ended up being 'bought' by Lola, which was actually okay by him, so all was well that ended well, right?]

No not really. We've already done everything that is there. Should we just head back to the housing?

[Since he knew Keith wasn't much for crowds and that... that was a crowd]

Yeah. That's fine.

[Keith was pretty done with everything. Crowds, noise, the masks, just the whole thing. He'd already connected up with Lola after she won his auction, so that was fine. And he kind of wanted to avoid Yuffie for the rest of the night after almost attacking her. Going back sounded like a plan.]

So, Hana, huh? She wasn't even planning on going to the auction until I mentioned you were going to be there.

[Shiro had enjoyed it, but had also been reaching his limit with the crowds and everything. It would be nice to just go back and rest for the remainder of the evening. And get out of the suit.

He looked over as Keith pointed out who had purchased him in the auction]

Really? She went to the auction only because you told her?

[He hadn't been expecting to hear that]

Well, I don't know if it was only reason, but she made a point of telling me that she hadn't originally planned on going, but that she was thinking of going after I mentioned it.

[He shrugged a little.]

Huh...

[Shiro shrugged after a moment]

We've hung out a few times so I definitely know her. She's a nice person.

She seemed really interested in the idea that you were going to be in the auction, so I'm not really surprised she put in a bid.

[He gave Shiro a small smirk.]

Interested that was going to be there? Did she say why?

[He's just curious. Clearly he'd made an impression on her if that is the case...]

[Keith shrugged.]

It just got her interest. Not exactly sure why.

Oh... okay.

[Shiro shrugged]

Guess it just surprised her that I was going to be doing the auction.

[Probably surprised a lot of people that he was]

Maybe.

[Keith shrugged as well.]

She almost seemed a little concerned about your showmanship and if you'd done something like that before.
