VL121R | Text | Night 20

[meadqueen]

Zam is gone. I do not know what happened - she was here last night, but no one has seen her since. Some of her items remain here, but her call sign has disappeared.

Comments

[meadqueen]

Was it the same thing? That person at the cabin?

[ichoosefight]

She didn't say. I have to believe she isn't THAT reckless, even if she doesn't care about her own life even a little bit.

[meadqueen]

I was concerned when she sent us that warning. She said that they were protecting their territory from her.

[ichoosefight]

A reasonable person would try talking to the guy instead of intentionally provoking him a third time.

Then again that was also Det. Cohle's plan

[meadqueen]

She did talk to him, but I don't think it helped.

[It has to have been bad for her to have called it in

And honestly, the less said about the detective the better]

I don't think that person did this. After the threats he made I doubt he'd have left some of us unharmed.

[ichoosefight]

[ Agreed. ]

I don't know. It's mostly a gut feeling, but I don't think he's really interested in a murder spree. I think he just wants to be left alone.

I guess she'd probably answer if we asked outright...?

[meadqueen]

Perhaps we have crossed some unstated boundary without knowing. When she called, she seemed concerned about where we were.

[ichoosefight]

True. I think I crossed a lot of boundaries by being worried about her. It's not really a two-sided friendship.

[meadqueen]

Yes, some people are more accustomed to working alone.

You scared many people when you threatened to risk your life.

[ichoosefight]

That's not why but I AM sorry about that.

[meadqueen]

I understand why you did it, but I can see why she might find trust difficult afterward.

[ichoosefight]

The thing she has a problem with is someone caring about her, for whatever reason. I told her she doesn't have to see me as a friend too, but she was still pretty bothered.

[meadqueen]

Of course. If you care about her and you're hurt, that means something.

[ichoosefight]

Only if she cares about me too.

[meadqueen]

You really think she doesn't?

[Sorry, Shaw. Diagnosed caring too much at death announcement]

[ichoosefight]

I think she does. But she won't admit it, so her logic is a little weird.

[meadqueen]

Who here has normal logic?

[Aside from Randvi, of course, the most normal person ever created]

[ichoosefight]

I have it, I just don't use it sometimes.

[meadqueen]

I see. Did you try to contact her while she was [what's a polite way to say it] indisposed?

[ichoosefight]

Yeah. It wasn't on the list.

[meadqueen]

She can't be dead she was fine

[No, she's not going to panic. Randvi takes a breath]

I will watch this sailing plan with interest and report back.

[ichoosefight]

And I'll let you know if I hear anything.

[ She knows Zam is probably dead, but she also knows that anything is possible. Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. ]

[meadqueen]

Thank you. Be cautious. I will speak to you later about watch rotations.
