sixth ( video ) day 67

[gleans]

[ At the very least, Galen looks a good deal better than he did the last time he showed his face. He does look tired - when doesn't he? - and there's still a note of worry in his voice, when he speaks. For the most part, however, he manages to keep his slight panic down, nudging at his glasses nervously. ]

Hey, guys -- I don't wanna cause any more alarm, but... if you could keep an eye out for Kenzi, we -- all of us, we'd really appreciate it. She might not be gone, but I haven't -- uh, better to be sure, right? So -- Kenzi, early twenties, goth-lite, long black hair, super tiny, ridiculously friendly.

Thanks, guys. Stay safe.

[ And this is where a message to Bruce would go... IF HE WERE THERE TO PICK UP. ]

Wait, Kenzi's missing? When did this happen? I just talked to her a couple days ago.

[gleans]

I don't know, I haven't seen her since late last night when I went to bed. I'm not even a hundred percent sure she's missing, but -- well, she usually fucking answers.

[undomesticated]

[She couldn't just offer to go sniff her out, but she could offer to keep an eye out for her.]

Do you want me to, um, go see if I can find her?

[She knew her scent by now. If she was in town, Riley could pick her out.]

[gleans]

I dunno, Riley, that's a lotta ground to cover. I mean, I'd go with you, but -- I can't really leave the house right now.

[undomesticated]

Are you okay?

[Was the whole place falling apart around her without her noticing? How was that possible?]

[gleans]

Wh -- yeah. [ It occurs to him how that sounded, now, and he makes an 'oh' sort of noise. ] I just -- don't wanna leave Jesse alone. He just, um. Got back, yesterday. [ And Riley definitely would've been able to smell all the blood behind their door the day Jesse was killed. ]

[undomesticated]

Oh. Oh good. I mean, I'm glad he's back, Galen. I don't mind taking a look around, though. I could go for a bit of a jog and see what I can... see.

[She'd had to stop herself from saying 'smell', but it was the same thing.]

[gleans]

Then -- great. Thank you.

[undomesticated]

Should I get you on here or come knock?

[The last thing she wanted to do was bug him if he was wanting to be alone with his friend.]

That is, if I find anything.

[gleans]

Just gimme a call if you do. I'll be keeping an eye on things anyways.

[undomesticated]

[She salutes him.]

Got it. I'll keep you in the loop if I find anything. Um... say hi to Jesse for me?

[gleans]

Sure thing. [ He smiles a little. ] Good luck, and um -- thanks again.

[undomesticated]

Anytime.
