Hi... has anyone seen Aventurine? Hopefully alive?? :(

I'll even take "at all" at this point.

He's tall, has fluffy blonde hair, gorgeous eyes that he usually hides behind his sunglasses, and dresses usually in a tailcoat. Let me know if anyone finds him :(

[You know it's serious when Ain's out here dropping real names...]

...I haven't personally.

But maybe I could help you look? Or... maybe you'd like some company at the therapy building, Ain?

[love_swan]

I'm not sure who that is, but I could help look..?

[eidxiety]

I guess it's been a while since I got therapy, huh. Something tells me it's kind of hopeless at this point to keep looking.

[eidxiety]

You must be new, huh? I'm glad I gave a description, at least.

He's not easy to miss since he's so ostentatious, luckily, haha...

[love_swan]

Mmhm. Pretty new. I've been trying to make more friends but it's kind of hard.

But that's not important. Are there places he usually hangs out?

[eidxiety]

Haha, I'll have time for friendship a bit later...

Usually he's at the inn. I've never seen him anywhere like the beach or the lake, but it didn't stop me from checking. He likes gambling on things, so I thought he might be playing games somewhere, but...

[love_swan]

but you haven't found him... I'll start looking around town.

[mooninthewater]

It has been busy for everyone. Do not worry. I’m here for when you need me.

That said, even if you find something out, no matter how bad or good, I don’t believe calling it “hopeless” is correct…

[eidxiety]

If you don't find him in an hour or two it's okay to give up. At this point I think the Forest probably got him :(

[eidxiety]

Can I come have a mental breakdown at the therapy building :(

[love_swan]

Is that something that just happens around here?

[eidxiety]

Oh, it keeps happening, in fact. A while ago we lost two different people out of nowhere simply because the thing in the forest wanted to torment everyone :) I'm happy to say it worked :) Really well :)

[mooninthewater]

I’ll prepare some tea and blankets.

[eidxiety]

Yay :(

[And then Ain will drag his sorry butt to the therapy building (it'll be a second, he's become Fish so he has to dry off and dress himself and etc)

walk into the lobby

lay on the couch. Scream.]

[love_swan]

I... see. Well, I'm still going to look. I'm really sorry.

[eidxiety]

The Forest let me live another day and I'm about to make it His problem ^^

[love_swan]

i'm not any kind of threat so I'm not able to help with that part... but I've been through somethimg similar so I understand.

[mooninthewater]

[ He is immediately getting a blanket draped on him, and tea is set on a table nearby. After, Mizuki hops on the bouch next to him to rub his back. ]

[eidxiety]

That's okay... I don't want anyone else to get hurt.

[love_swan]

I doubt anyone would want you hurt either, you know.

[eidxiety]

[Ain will accept the blanket, but he's going to be face-in-pillow for a minute or two longer while he composes himself. It's... admittedly very difficult to compose himself, but he's trying his best.]

Mr. Jellyfish... I'm tired.

[mooninthewater]

I doubt there's anyone here who would fault you for being so. You've truly been through so much, Ain. But I'm here if you want to talk about what's on your mind.

[eidxiety]

I guess... I'm sick of feeling like I fail everyone I care about, maybe? And I'm tired of feeling hopeless and worn-down, and wondering when the next time I'll die is, or who else is going to be taken from me. I know this feeling is normal, considering the circumstances we're in, but...

I've tried to track people. Look after them, but keep them in my sights, and I guess I was too overwhelmed and missed him.

[fluffiestsoul]

I'm afraid I haven't.
... Are you alright?

[psychokinesia]

[it is so very tempting to just clap the netbook shut after reading this gay shit in Ain's handwriting... but he has been stuck in the Grove for the month while everyone else was ????? Somewhere Else, so.]

I'd remember if I saw any jackasses around.
