text, un: daylight.

[sunborne]

[ in the mid-afternoon, after trying and failing to get in contact with the others and with suspicions growing by the hour, daylight finally sends out a message to the network at large: ]

It looks like people are going missing.

Two of my friends, Okuyasu and Kiara, haven't been responding to any of my messages or calls since yesterday.

I've gone around th town to see if I can get a glimpse of them and nothing. Nada. Zip. Jackshit.

Coupled with other faces not being seen around town anymore - Have you guys noticed anyone else not popping up? Or noticed your friends not responding to messages?

Let me know so we can keep a track of everyone's status.

( is this the moment they go on sewer adventures. are they saved from this by having the televisions play late at night. are they going to later map the sewage systems and ensure no clowns have recently escaped down there.

daylight, what adventures await in their future? )

Do you have any idea where this storm drain outlet might be? The sewage system, if it's below those metal disks, it's at least easier to note where to look on those. I'm not against doing either...

( he hesitates, wrinkling his nose; )

Since bathing here's far simpler than back home. All the hot water arriving out of faucets saves time, but if uh. It's going to be a smelly business, it'd need to be handled in a way that doesn't attract attention.

[ i guess you could say there's a real chance for wei and daylight to be neckdeep in s-

rubbing the back of his neck, huffing under his breath, daylight tries to remember anything else about storm drain systems. ]

Usually, storm drains, er, drain out to places like maybe canals and rivers and lakes? [ daylight didn’t exactly pay attention to human infrastructures while growing up and most of the information he has is from lessons from a long, long time ago. the fact he can pull this information out — after a thorough shaking of his thoughts, mind you — is a bit of a miracle.

so is this tidbit: ] Usually storm drains and sewer systems are separate systems— [ thank the stars for that. ] —so there are two options to investigate if we want to look around.

[ and he’s going to be honest... he rather not go wading through waste and remains, thanks. not unless there happens to be real evidence the others are down there. ]

( there are Needs for exploring all this okay, sometimes that's a character's destiny, ending up neckdeep in s....tormwater )

I know there's the lack, is there any other water moving through this area?

( he hums, and nods, because all this is way different from anything he knows. he's trying to make it make sense. to him, this just sounds... probably important? )

Think we can find any maps of either of those? I don't mind doing the footwork, but it helps if it's not entirely blind. Or I assume it helps. Are these things laid out in a familiar pattern in your experience?
