Has anyone seen Tony?

[easilyamused]

Can't say I have. When's the last time you spoke to him?

[failedpromise]

Just a few days ago. He's my roommate, but he's been busy a lot and I haven't been around the apartment much.

I-I'm not finding anything. (He-he can't be gone, can he?)

[easilyamused]

Is he the sort who'd tell you if he was going off somewhere for a day or two?

[failedpromise]

Not really, no. But he's also more the sort to disappear into his room or pass out from no sleep and too much caffeine than vanish entirely like this.

[easilyamused]

Right. Does he have any usual haunts, or is he more of a homebody?

[punched_hitler]

[Well, shit.] I haven't for a couple of days. Do you think he could've gone to Dogtown?

[That hadn't seemed his thing, but Tony is full of surprises.]

[failedpromise]

I don't think so. He's been working on something, but he was doing that before Dogtown turned into ...this.

Do you think he could have gotten involved with something?

[punched_hitler]

I don't know. He could have.

[Steve also thinks about certain things Tony has learned from him. About how he reacted. It makes him feel sick.]

I'll do a sweep of ADI first, make sure he's not asleep from a caffeine crash in a lab somewhere.

[failedpromise]

Tell me what you find?

(Please let that be it. She is going to yell his ear off about the dangers of drugs and caffeine and using them in place of actually taking care of himself if this is the case, but please let him be okay.)

[ Oh Cortana. Oh no. ]

I'm afraid that I haven't seen him. Have you tried contacting him directly over the network?

[failedpromise]

I have. He's not responding.

[bossyboiler]

I hope he's just passed out somewhere.

[failedpromise]

Winter says he can't find his tracker signal.

[worthallthis]

we gave him a tracker

I can't find its signal now so it has either been destroyed or he is out of range

[Yeah, he has a concern, too.]

[failedpromise]

Dammit! (Shouted very emphatically. Oh, wait, that might scare him.) Sorry. Thanks Winter. (Some more, quieter swearing. She has a really impressive swear vocabulary, covering current languages, past languages, future languages, and even alien languages.)

[worthallthis]

[It's okay, this time he doesn't think she's mad at him, and also she's in some other room in the apartment complex and couldn't get at him even if she was mad at him.]

I can look around and see if he got caught somewhere with no signal.

[But he isn't particularly hopeful about it, either. It's hard to tell via text, at least.]

[failedpromise]

(She switches to text after a moment or two.)

That might be good. Once I've checked a few other possibilities I'll go looking too.

[heyunderoos]

has no one heard anything from him? I thought... he was busy?

Text

[failedpromise]

He's not in the apartment or the labs, and no one seems to be able to contact him.

(She's his roommate, she should know.)

[Peter goes through his fair share of feelings. Grief is immediate, and frustration and regret comes after. He had barely even gotten to see Tony again...]

Hopefully we can find him. He has to be here somewhere. He has to be.

Re: Text

[failedpromise]

I'll keep looking, but I don't think he is.

text | un: username

[canofmanji]

no.

[He should probably say more than that.]

ill tell him youre looking for him if i see him. where was he the last time you saw him and how long ago?

Text

[failedpromise]

Just a few days ago, he was in the apartment working on a project. We're roommates.

[canofmanji]

days? thats not great.

can you hack cameras at adi? [Probably shouldn't be asking this over a network.] maybe they dragged him down into their basement area where they keep people they want to forget.

[failedpromise]

The systems at ADI run on a codebase that's completely alien, even to me -- I think they've enlisted the help of people from other universes to design their software from the ground up. I did some work on it out of curiosity, but it'd take months of dedicated effort to crack and I've been busy with my own plans.

(And Tony has been spending months working on a project...

Shit.)
