This is really important so pay attention!

Has anyone seen Akiha around??

I haven't seen her in a long time [three days] but she has to be around here somewhere. If I'm looking in all the wrong places, someone should let me know.

No, I'm definitely looking in the wrong places but she's definitely hiding and waiting to surprise everyone.

[Yes, yes, she knows Akiha is gone. But denial is not just a river in Egypt. She's been searching for quiiiite a long time and is quite exhausted. So, Kris in on the edge.]

I can tell you a place where she's not. It's my house.

[ported]

Even I know that! This is really important so don't joke around!

[shanghaiworld]

That wasn't a joke, I was answering seriously.

[ported]

...can you think of any place she might be?

[shanghaiworld]

I don't know her well enough to say.

[...Three days without being in the mansion is a substantial deviation from Akiha's normal behavior. Lambda had simply intended to watch and wait (like a dog waiting for its owner to come home, not that the metaphor occurred to her), but if Kris was going to bring it up like this...]

...Kris. Analysis of previously observed patterns of behavior indicates Akiha's absence is likely involuntary. [But, because Lambda doesn't like the idea of her being gone either, she asks:] Indicating what areas you have left unchecked would be beneficial to further search attempts.

[Lambda why...

Kris has to take a while to ingest what Lambda said because understanding it is difficult.]

...are you saying someone kidnapped Akiha? I've looked all over the mansion and in the woods and every place I was allowed to walk around at.

[AKA: she looked a little frantically and it wasn't anything resembling orderly.]

[cobbledtogether]

That is a possibility. However, it is more likely she has been ejected from the Gardens.

[...]

I will search the rest of the Gardens.

[ported]

She hasn't been ejected anywhere. Akiha is definitely around...

[snowknife]

This is why you make people eat tracking devices.

[ported]

[wait...]

What's a tracking device?

[snowknife]

It tells you where someone is all the time, no matter where they try to hide.

[ported]

Oh, I get it!

....I really should have made a spell like that.

[hopelessdreamer]

Wait--how long is long? She was at that party.

[ported]

Three days! She's been hiding for three days!

[hopelessdreamer]

Three days? Did you make her mad?

[ported]

No...I'm pretty sure I didn't.

[fionna_time]

She might have went to her home for a little bit, but she'll come back.

I mean, she has stuff she misses.

[ported]

She would have told me if she was going somewhere so she didn't go anywhere.

[fionna_time]

You know it doesn't work like that. If she went back its cuz she just was. She didn't have a say about it.

[ported]

Akiha wouldn't just leave.

[Stubborn denial.]

[grandtheftmecha]

I... don't think that's a reason she'd disappear for. Haven't seen her either, though, so if she's disappeared for now...

[ Of course she can't have just disappeared for good. ]

[ported]

She hasn't disappeared at all! [SHEESH]

[grandtheftmecha]

Well, she's not around either.

[ported]

How do you know that?
