I haven’t been able to find my brother, Joshua, since the fog came. Has anyone seen a man, a little over 6 feet tall, light brown hair that’s a big longer, blue-green eyes, wears a lot of black and red, has a very formal and convoluted way of speaking? He’s kind, curious, intelligent. He would have done his best to help anyone who may have needed it during the mission.

Please, if anyone has seen him, call me, text me, yell my name from the top of a building, I don’t care. I just need to know that he’s okay.

Time helps to cope with the weight of it. This is still fresh for you, regardless of having lost him in the past. You're welcome at the barcade any time, even before and after close.

Nah, he was more intent in asserting his superiority. I've had a lifetime dealing with those types. It doesn't bother me.

[herofhopeless]

Thank you, Vander. You've always been so generous to me. I'm lucky to have you as my friend.

Ah, well, I'm glad he didn't try to pull anything. I'm getting the feeling I might have to talk to him about how he approaches people who get close to me.

[cantilevers]

I do my best.

He is just being protective of you. He didn't try to steal my kidneys, so it is fine.

[herofhopeless]

Well, as long as you still have your kidneys, I'm sure everything will be fine.

He is a good friend. Just, let me know if he ever crosses a line, please. He can be a bit overzealous sometimes.

[cantilevers]

Exactly. My one requirement for a potential friendship is keeping important body parts.

And what do you consider crossing a line?

[herofhopeless]

Ah, you set the standards high, I see.

If he threatens your safety or well-being.

[cantilevers]

Clearly I need to re-assess then. That's baseline where I'm from.

What's a few threats between friends, right? I'm sure he's innocuous.

[herofhopeless]

A solid baseline, all things considered. Maybe it's one I should consider taking up.

I trust your judgment. I'll give him a little flick on the nose if he ever needs one. Just let me know.

[cantilevers]

Yeah, damn Clive, raise your standards, okay?

Don't worry, he'll warm up to me, especially he decides to have more drinks with me. He will have no choice but to be my friend. Maybe threats of bodily harm are his love language.

[herofhopeless]

Yessir, I will treat myself with more respect from here on out and ensure any new friends do not wish to harvest my organs.

Funny story... I think violence might actually be one of his love languages.He gets very excited when he finds a challenging opponent. Our first meeting was... something.

[Weirdly erotic is what Clive means.]

[cantilevers]

Good otherwise I might have to come along and take both their kidneys in response. Gotta protect your friends, right?

He seems undersocialized, so you might be onto something. Though, it seems to me that your first meetings do seem to have a "something" about them.

[herofhopeless]

Truer words have rarely been spoken.

'Undersocialized' is probably a good word for it. I don't know that he has really had much in terms of company outside of Barnabas for most of his life. I don't know if you've met Barnabas, but, well... Not exactly a great person to learn from on that front.

[Good thing they are texting or Clive would have certainly just embarrassed himself by sputtering and blushing something fierce.]

You could say that. Nowadays, I tend to leave a much stronger lasting impression.
