[Voice]

I know there has been a lot going on and the strange messages on the network...

[It was easier for him try to ignore the matter of creepy guy torturing people on the network and the incident in the park. ]

But I wonder has everyone who went to the battle managed to return by now? There will be no more trains?

I ask because I have not see Rapunzel since then. Did the Giants maybe take any prisoners? I hope not... but she has not been back to the God house. I did find some of her painting equipment that seems to be addressed to myself and Alice. I wonder, do you think that means she may have returned home?

[digophelia]

I- I don't think anyone has been taken by the giants. I'm very sure.

... We were left painting equipment?

voice;

[true_renaissance_man]

I suppose we were. It was just sitting out here in the hall with our names on it.

That does mean she has left? Did she even go to the front?

voice;

[digophelia]

I don't think that would be done if she has, indeed, left.

[Alice honestly sounds disappointed.]

I didn't see her on the front.

voice;

[true_renaissance_man]

I did not either, but with so many going I had thought she might have been on a different car of the train.

If not...

Gone without a word. That happens too often...

voice;

[digophelia]

[she pauses.]

Perhaps she finally has gone home. It's for the better, at least. We can take joy in that.

Do you--I could try to find out, if you like.

Or...

[Loras frowns.]

Perhaps she has gone home.

[true_renaissance_man]

Is there a way to be sure? I would hate to have... I mean, if she had been left behind?

video;

[dyingisnotdead]

Check for her bracelet. It should say if it exists or not. At least, I believe that might work.

video;

[true_renaissance_man]

Hai ragione! I should have thought to try that! If there is no listing for her then she must have left, that is the way it works?

[Forgive the distraction as he tries to do just that... with the sadly expected result. ]

I do not see her name...

[voice]

[bonnypiperlad]

[A sinking feeling comes over Jamie when he comes across this. Not Rapunzel, too, not her on top of everyone else. For a few minutes he's hopeful that Leonardo's wrong, that she's just off somewhere with Eugene, but then he takes the time to check the bracelet - and a few minutes later, he reluctantly turns on the feed.]

...her name's not on that list of people who're here. I think she's gone, Leonardo.

[voice]

[true_renaissance_man]

[There was a deep sigh and a pause so long one might have thought they had been disconnected. ]

I was hoping... but maybe it is better this way. At least she was not captured by the Giants and she will not have to deal with this war any more.

[voice]

[bonnypiperlad]

[It's long enough that Jamie actually does think they did get disconnected, and he's about to try and see if he can't get Leonardo back when he finally speaks up again. Then it's his turn to be quiet as well, although maybe not for as quite as long of a time as the other man had been/]

Aye, it'll be good she'll not have to deal with the war here. Maybe she'll have a chance to have a bit of peace at home instead. But...I'll miss her. She was a good friend, even if it was a wee bit strange meeting her at first.

[voice]

[true_renaissance_man]

[OOPS! Sorry Jamie!]

Yours was a strange meeting too?

[That must have been the way to become acquainted with Rapunzel!]

I met her during a curse that forced us all to live through others worse nightmares... ah! The same curse I met you during actually!

[madcuriosity]

[Another dear friend and loved one, missing.]

She's gone, sir. She... she's not on the list and...

She left something for you and Miss Alice?

[true_renaissance_man]

She did, just her art supplies... and I suppose there might be some drawings as well. Rapunzel was always so interested in art!

It is sad to think she will no longer be around, she was such a ray of sunshine.

[madcuriosity]

I know. [She smiles, albeit, sadly.] We would sometimes paint together and even... well, I'm just glad I got to know her.

Miss Rapunzel was incredible.

[true_renaissance_man]

If you were an art friend maybe you should have some of these paintings of hers too, just to remember her by.

[Video]

[comeonthensexy]

If she's left things for you, then yes, I expect so. Give me a moment; I'll check the contact list.

[Video]

[true_renaissance_man]

I thought she might have left these things in case something happened to her or to one of us during that last battle, but maybe it was because she left Asgard.

Tragica... You come to know and care for these friends here and then they so suddenly disappear.

[Video]

[comeonthensexy]

Yes ...

[ A moment's silence as he checks the list. ]

Yep. She's gone.

[Video]

[true_renaissance_man]

[Well... damn. Clearly the only mature way to handle the news was to sulk.]

You can be so casual about it.

{ video }

[applegoddess]

[Gaia looks a bit distressed at these news.]

I don't remember hearing anything like that back in Alfheim... I think it's possible she went home, though. That'd be good, right?

{ video }

[true_renaissance_man]

[Understandably so! He was pretty upset over it too. ]

If she has gone home, then si. I think that would be a good thing for her. It would be sad to see her go but... better than having been left behind.

{ video }

[applegoddess]

[Well, people just randomly disappearing is creepy enough, even knowing it happens quite often.]

Yes, of course. [She thinks for a moment.]

Maybe you can cheek to see if her name still shows up on the resident's list in the bracelet? As far as I know, if someone's here, their name should appear.

{ video }

[true_renaissance_man]

That is an excellent idea! I will try that.

[In a moment. Discovering the answer was nessacary but it would be sad to confirm she was actually gone. ]

Have you, well if you have been here any amount of time I am sure you have but, has anyone you know suddenly disappeared from Asgard like this?
