[selfhelp]

[Oh dear. This can't be good.]

...Need a locating spell?

[aaaand action!]

[not_a_troll]

[Smart thinking, Billy!]

Definitely!

[Loki tries to focus on that little bit of hope he has left that Leah's disappearance can be traced back to the Malnosso kidnapping people from time to time. That would still be quite bad, but she wouldn't be gone. She would return and he would be there when she would.]

Wait for me in front of building five, yes? I am on my way!

[Loki runs towards the hallway to put on his boots and his coat and a warm scarf and after that he dashes outside, a tense look on his face. Instead of coming too late, Loki is quite on time now and he waves while approaching Billy.]

I am here!

[action!]

[selfhelp]

[Billy's there, bundled up against the cold of approaching spring, and he returns the wave, albeit worriedly.]

Maybe we should go to her apartment? Magic's usually stronger at the source.

[Written]

[complicatedliar]

She is no longer here.

[He'd rather not say anything at all, but it seems better to just get that out of the way, or who knows what the boy will accuse him of.]

[Written]

[not_a_troll]

When has it been the last time you have spoken to her?

[Actually, Loki isn't accusing his older self of anything at this point.]

[Written]

[complicatedliar]

Last week.

[killu]

Any other way to describe her?

[not_a_troll]

Dark hair, quite long as well. She wears certain hair decorations, they resemble bones. And she always frowns. The frown is important.

If you see a dark haired girl with fair skin glower at you when you approach her, it is definitely and one hundred percent Leah of Hel.

Have you seen her?

[Voice]

[kingofwaste]

[Awww, his pal Loki is looking for someone. Oswald is on the job!]

Don't worry, I'll keep an eye out for her! You can count on me! [...] But why can't we tell her what 'bff' means?

[Voice]

[not_a_troll]

[When Loki answers his voice sounds a bit muffled since he is eating and speaking at the same time.]

Thank you.

Because that is a secret, and secrets are meant to never be told, you see?
If you see her, tell her to...

[...A pause.]

...ask her if she's willing to come to House fourty four.

[Voice] 1/2

[kingofwaste]

Fourty four, gotcha! I'm on it!

[Voice] 2/2

[kingofwaste]

[...] Can I know what 'bff' means?

[voice]

[ofwesternwinds]

[A missing person...?]

Don't know if I've seen anyone matching that description, but I can keep an eye out? S'there any other ways you can describe her?

[voice]

[not_a_troll]

I would appreciate that greatly.

Long black hair, green eyes, eternal frown, approach with utmost care.

[voice]

[ofwesternwinds]

Got it. I'll look out for her.

[There's a brief pause.]

Um, 'f you don't mind me asking, where did you last see her?

[Action]

[savedtheworld]

[Aang goes to find Loki at the end of the day, looking crestfallen and clutching a crumpled flyer in hand.]

I'm sorry, Loki. I tried looking everywhere I could think of, but... I couldn't find her.

[Action]

[not_a_troll]

[It is late when Loki meets up with Aang. The hope he had at the beginning of said day is completely gone and it shows. He tries to tell himself that it is 'for the best'. She is safe and his older self cannot harm her there.

When he talks his voice sounds tired and is rather soft.]

I have had no luck either. I owe you my gratitude for your help.

[And his voice becomes more soft.]

Leah went home.

[Action]

[savedtheworld]

[He looks at Loki with a frown. Hearing him this hurt... it got to him.]

A-are you sure? I'm so sorry...

[voice]

[handing]

I hope you find her.

[Because Pepper's seen a few of these announcements lately, none of which are exactly welcome. Unfortunately Pepper's never met Leah, so the help she can offer is limited--even with that thorough description.]

[voice]

[not_a_troll]

[It takes a while before Loki answers her because he's busy searching and sometimes he leaves his journal closed.]

I hope so as well.

[There are some sounds audible on the background that might indicate that he is inside the stables.]

Even though I am quite aware that the meaning of hope and myself are not a 'match made in heaven', you see?

Re: [voice]

[handing]

[Pepper doesn’t mind the late reply. It’s pretty understandable in the circumstances.]

I don’t think that matters too much. [Loki’s clearly concerned, and he wants to find a person who is dear to him. Unfortunately, there’s a very real possibility that Leah might not be there, and after a pause she asks something more.] Did you check her residence?

[fierybluebird]

Whoa, seriously?

What the hell? Is this the Malnosso idea of Spring Cleaning?

[not_a_troll]

I do not think this relates to hygiene, Marco.

[In where he misinterprets the meaning of Spring Cleaning.]

[ dictated ]

[universal_charm]

What happened, Junior? Lose your girlfriend?

_{[ Behind the snark is real concern, though. A missing person is nothing to laugh at. ]}

[ dictated ]

[not_a_troll]

Explain me what exactly isn't terribly obvious about my message, Kirk.
