023- WHAT IS THE SOUND OF ONE HAND CLAPPING? (Hint: The same sound as an archangel panicking)

[uberboned]

Storytime, Barge!

Once there was an archangel who, after suffering from death-by-fire and holed up in a room for two days straight, received a request for some R&R time with one of his favorite people. Considering he's about to go insane laying in bed all day, he drops by to visit said person and lo and behold! That person's not there anymore. Hm, says the archangel. That's really weird. So he pops back into the room of the girl he's staying with, while his room smells like Kentucky Fried Archangel to tell her how weird it is that JD invites a guy to come get him and then just vanishes and... There's no Max. There's Max's stuff, but no Max.

So the archangel, confused but not deterred, popped by his next door neighbor's room to see what he thinks of this weird turn of events.

Also gone.

Moral of the story: Iiiif you're someone I like well enough to call a friend, could you, I dunno... Make like the Mickey Mouse Club and do a sound-off, 'cause this? This is getting a little too uncomfortable for my liking. I mean, this is the kind of thing I would do to mess with someone and I don't like being messed with. Okay?

[[OOC: So I'm sick as a dog today, so tags might be slow-to-nonexistent today, but I needed to get this up before it was too late, because it would have been OOC for Gabe not to react to this. At any rate, Gabe's not acting nearly as panicky as you'd expect him to act, because repressing emotions are healthy, but he's totally freaking out on the inside. Also, GDI. Gabe has a lot of CR with Nicci's characters. XD;;]]

Wow, that's... a lot of disappearance for one day. I haven't gone anywhere.

Tough break.

So you haven't seen Dean either?

[evilbystatute.livejournal.com]

Still here.

Sorry?

[triplekill.livejournal.com]

...where did they go?

Curt Gabe is curt, because he's internally flipping out.

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

Good. Stay that way.

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

Oh good. You're still here. Everyone! Tony's safe! You can call off the search parties now.

private- He totally already knows Dean's missing, but won't admit he checked. :|

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

....Sonuvabitch.

Is Sam still here?

[the-ironman.livejournal.com]

I was going to leave you a Precious Moments card as a goodbye. I like it here, though. The mattresses are just like at home.

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

Good. I'm just making sure the Admiral isn't fucking with me, specifically. That was... Pretty much half my social life that up and vanished.

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

To Narnia. They found a wardrobe on the Barge and figured it was the better alternative and forgot to tell me.

I don't know. Okay? That's what I'm trying to find out.

Yes, I talked to him this afternoon. Anyone else you might be missing?

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

I'm sure there are fewer vampires and spontaneous disappearances though.

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

I dunno. I think everyone else I know is accounted for, but I don't actually know that many people.

[triplekill.livejournal.com]

Do you think they went home?

I want to go home...

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

They wouldn't've left without saying something. And their stuff's still here. So... I'm thinkin' no.

Cissie understands the stoic panic thing. She's friends with Tim, after all. ALSO, FEEL BETTER. <3

[cisskabob]

I'm planning on it. You too.

[evilbystatute.livejournal.com]

...I'm a little miffed I was left behind.

Aziraphale still here?

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

He hasn't said anything yet, so... I dunno.

Re: private-

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

Well, you're not the only one. My inmate's boyfriend's disappeared...

private-

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

....When did that happen? Just now?

[the-ironman.livejournal.com]

Have you ever tried to do business in the Philippines? There are plenty of disappearances, and they eat guinea pigs, which is about as good as being a vampire.

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

The Philippines, while terrifying in their own little way, ain't exactly a pandimensional Barge where 'Shit Goes Down' is the default setting. We've passed the normal threat levels and are holding steady at Defcon Chartreuse.

Color me a little concerned.

Re: private-

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

A week ago, about. Or, that's when I found out about it.

Okay. So either the Admiral's trying to psych us out by borrowing a few people at a time or one of these things is not like the other.
