Topaz (emailed to Gen X as well)

[xp_daytripper]

It's clear something's happened to Topaz - she's dropped out of contact with everyone and there's been no sightings of her since yesterday. I've tried location spells, but I'm not getting anything specific.

Time to break out the official search parties.

Please?

I'm in! Tell me where to go and I'll go there.

[xp_olaris]

Want me to drop by her school? She goes to NYU right? I am nearby on another case.

[xp_daytripper]

Sound good - take Molly with you. Two pairs of eyes better than one, etc.

[xp_bruiser]

You got it, Magic Boss Lady.

[xp_olaris]

Where you at Molly? I'll pick you up.

[xp_bruiser]

I'm at Midtown Comics in the city. The one at Grand Central.

[xp_olaris]

Alright. I know where that is at. I'll be there soon.

[xp_bruiser]

K, I'll be waiting outside. I'm wearing my black cat ear beanie today.

[xp_wolverine]

Where you want me?

Anyone tried tracking her by scent yet?

[xp_daytripper]

Maybe join Lorna and Molly at NYU? If they can find where she was last seen, you can do your thing from there?

[xp_wolverine]

I'll head their way then.

[xp_tarot]

My most consistent reading results give me "alive, but in danger" and what I think is tormented but may be injured.

Topaz is alive. I am assured of that. I will keep trying for more.

[xp_trance]

I can head into the city and try for a few of her regular haunts and ask if anyone has seen her?

[xp_daytripper]

Please. Stay in touch via phone so you can get Logan if you find her last known whereabouts.

[xp_trance]

On my way.

[xp_trance]

No sign of her at her regular haunts. Latest they have seen her was Tuesday or Wednesday. I am currently checking in with some of her fellow students whom I know she is at least friendly with.

[xp_trance]

Okay, it seems she was in her first class, a psych one. But she was not in her second one, her history class. So that might give us a timeline of when she went missing.

[xp_skin]

I'll hit the campus with her picture, see if anybody who doesn't know her might remember seeing her.

[xp_nightcrawler]

I can find no evidence in her room that she did not intend to come back.

[xp_echo]

Aren't you meant to be the one with all the contacts and the spying and the magic power and everything? What the hell good are you if you can't find her?

[xp_daytripper]

If you can't be of any use, fuck off and leave us to our work.

[xp_echo]

Oh dear. Did I hit a nerve? Make you feel as useless as you actually are? Poor baby.

All I'm seeing right now is a lot of useless activity to keep yourselves feeling as if you're doing something because none of you have the first clue what's going on.

Get back to me when you have an actual solution beyond 'Let's go everywhere and maybe we'll get lucky'.

[xp_erverse]

what the actual fuck is wrong with you

[xp_echo]

What's wrong with you?

[xp_erverse]

A lot of things. But I'm not the one poking their fat head in where it doesn't belong. If you could be switched out with Topaz, that would be great. Better you lying dead in a gutter.

[xp_echo]

I don't remember calling 1800Douchebag. And yet, here you are.

How about we just swap you out instead? You've already been dead once, I'm sure practice makes perfect, right?

[xp_erverse]

I would if I could.

[xp_echo]

Why are you always such a tool? Every time. Every single time.

[xp_tarot]

You are an unbelievably hideous person, Maya Lopez. There is no excuse for this under any circumstances.

Please expect a call from your father and grandfather soon. You may recall I have them in my contact list. They will not be impressed.

[xp_clea]

Maya, this isn't the time to do this.

[xp_skin]

At least they're trying everything they can, magic and mundane. What have you done or even offered to do to help?

I know you have trouble remembering that other people have feelings too, but maybe you might want to consider that rubbing Amanda's nose in not being able to find somebody who really matters to her isn't the kindest way to go about it.

[xp_tarot]

Angelo, each of us has tried to convince her that she should have some kind of compassion. I believe she just enjoys being hideous.

[xp_xavin]

Oh my fucking god, Maya. Are you actually a sociopath? At least we're doing things.

Back off, turn your laptop off and get the hell out of the mansion and just leave.

You don't even have real powers. You're just a horrible nasty spoiled little bitch who needs a lifetime of therapy. I bet the car blowing up was a lie you tell us because your daddy dumped you here because he was sick of your bitch ass.

[xp_xavin]

I've checked out some bookstores she mentioned. Nothing.

[xp_mockingbird]

I can check my contacts in the District. I'll let you know whatever I discover ASAP.

[xp_eriment]

keeping an eye out on my routine patrol, nothing so far, will let you know

[xp_invisible]

Nothing's come up in the missing persons files or the police systems so they haven't found her.

I'm hooked into the police and FBI systems right now and I'll keep an alert on those. The university's the last place anyone saw her, there must be a few CCTV systems around there, let's see what they have to see.
