* Verlaine enters, looking around.
* Marcel walks in, still looking contemplative.
* Verlaine hugs Marcel.
<Verlaine> I took the liberty of contacting Valkyrie.
<Marcel> "And?  Has she heard anything from him?"
<Verlaine> She said she'd meet with us. I don't think she was aware he vanished.
* _-_-_- lands onto the ground, nearly knocking Verlaine back a bit from her impact. In just a moment, she's grabbed Verlaine's lapels!
* Valkyrie_Rivera has joined #Miranda
<Valkyrie_Rivera> WHEN?! HOW?!
* Valkyrie_Rivera might be a bit... Upset.
<Asriel_Tobias_Dreemurr> T-T-Teacher!? O.O;
<Princess_Sally_Alecia_Acorn> Well, stuff went down but nobody saw what happened.  Right under our noses, without a peep and without a sign anything was wrong until Rainbow Wing tried to burn down Hestia's shop so they could get treats that Tithius usually gets.
<Princess_Sally_Alecia_Acorn> Personally I know about as much as you.  I just got back in town yesterday.
<Verlaine> ....Valkyrie, I appreciate your concern, but if you don't stop shaking me, I'm going to imitate Valerie. -.o'
<Valkyrie_Rivera> I... Sorry.
* Valkyrie_Rivera lets go.
<Marcel> "We.. don't know how or when or anything like that.  We only just recently found out."
* Verlaine adjusts her top. >.o'
<Valkyrie_Rivera> I... It's just from the description you gave like he just... Vanished. Him, Tithius, and Asmirus. Just... Disappeared into thin air.
<Princess_Sally_Alecia_Acorn> That's the size of it. :\
<Princess_Sally_Alecia_Acorn> Have you been in contact with Ripper?
<Bunnie_Rabbot> Or Dragonius?
<Marcel> "That's really about all we know.  He's missing, his place was ransacked but not robbed.  There were bits of rubble - marble or alabaster or some kinda polished stone - but we aren't sure from what.  Hoofprints outside from something that can fly or teleport or something."
<Valkyrie_Rivera> Ripper's a good deal away on mission, so I can't reach him right now. Dragonius is already checking information from the details we gave him. From what he told me, he said it can't be a vengeant dragon, or they would have destroyed part of the shack. Plus, why would they have horses for a job like this?
<Marcel> "Too many questions, not enough answers."
* Verlaine nods.
<Princess_Sally_Alecia_Acorn> Hmm. :\
<Verlaine> We need to figure this out.
<Verlaine> The lack of activated security suggests it was someone Cham either expected or didn't suspect.
<Marcel> "Or I have some stiff competition for breaking and entering."
<Valkyrie_Rivera> With what you told me, there's also one other thing you didn't mention that makes me think it was someone he trusted... There was no blood. Even if he did have one attack back, you know using magic does a number on his body.
* Marcel nod.
<Valkyrie_Rivera> It's just... It's just frustrating. WHat are we missing? What am I missing?
<Marcel> "I don't know, but it's something we all are."
<Verlaine> "I know something we're missing."
<Verlaine> "Asmirus and Tithius."
<Valkyrie_Rivera> Yeah, they're not exactly easy to catch. So even more proof this couldn't have random.
<Valkyrie_Rivera> have been**
<Bunnie_Rabbot> Hmm.
<Verlaine> Asmirus can't exactly be caged, you realize.
<Verlaine> Do you know what that implies?
<Bunnie_Rabbot> Then she is either accompanying Chameleon willingly...
* Zoe has joined #Miranda
<Marcel> "Is it possible that she could have been separated from him somehow?"
