Our Darkest Hours

XIV

[Pearl]

I woke up to the sun shining through my window. I noticed that I was in my bed, but I didn't remember falling asleep there.

Slowly yesterday's events started coming back to me. I remember how Ozinelle had been murdered and how Quinn had reacted to her death. My spine shivered as I still faintly heard her blood curling scream cut the air.

I stumbled outside and hurried through the Boatem Village to Grian's door. I knocked, but he didn't open. I opened the door and peeked inside the house. He wasn't there. I kept searching, but found nothing.

<Pearlescentmoon> Has anyone seen Grian?
<MumboJumbo> Did you check his house? I saw him there last night.
<Pearlescentmoon> He isn't here.
<Xisuma> I'll check his coordinates.
<falsesymmetry> Are you sure he hasn't gone to another server?
<iJevin> There hasn't been a leaving message after he came back with Pearl last night.
<impulseSV> I'll check if I can find him somewhere nearby.
<Keralis1> Same!
<Xisuma> I can't find his coordinates.
<Xisuma> I'm going to call Biffa here.
<ZombieCleo> Oh no..
<ZombieCleo> X never invites Biffa unless it's an emergency.
Biffa2001 joined the game
<Biffa2001> What's the issue?
<Xisuma> Grian has disappeared.
<Pixlriffs> Sorry, but we too invited backup.
<ZloyXP> You better not call the Players Protection Agency because that would affect you too!
<Xisuma> We won't do that!
<Docm77> What does your backup mean?
<GoodTimeWithScar> Please don't tell me you invited The Council.
<Zedaph> Are we gonna be in trouble?

<PrenethMalum> Good job covering up my login...
<Pixlriffs> Hold on a second-
ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷᒲᔑ╎リᔑ↸ᒲ╎リʖꖎᔑꖌᒷ has left the game
<PrenethMalum> Now I'm just stuck inside the barrier!
PrenethMalum has joined the game
<PrenethMalum> Thank you.
<Welsknight> Are you from The Council..?
<Renthedog> This ain't good...
<Xisuma> I trust them. Don't worry.
<Pearlescentmoon> Do you know how to find Grian?
<PrenethMalum> I can't exactly promise anything, but I'll try to help.
<Tango> Do you know where he could be?
<PrenethMalum> I'm just a Main Admin. If you wanted someone to track him down, you should have called a Main Watcher.
<PrenethMalum> But I can still at least try to do something.
<Pixlriffs> Getting a Main Watcher is kinda impossible on the moment.
<Pixlriffs> You were the only one we were able to find.

    I raised my glare from the communicator and looked at the Rookie Watcher, who had appeared before me.

"We literally have a Main Watcher here," I pointed out. Pixlriffs shook his head sadly, "Sad to say, but  ̇/ᒷリ is basically useless without his vision. We haven't even told him about the whole situation, even if he probably can already feel it."

<Xisuma> Let's make groups and go look for Grian while our backup tries to do something to help.
<Etho> I suggest 4 people teams.
<GeminiTay> Who's gonna choose the teams?
<Biffa2001> I have already made random teams using the player list.
<Biffa2001> BdoubleO100, cubfan135, Docm77, Etho.
<Biffa2001> falsesymmetry, GeminiTay, hypnotizd, impulseSV.
<Biffa2001> iskall85, iJevin, joehillssays, Keralis1.
<Biffa2001> MumboJumbo, Pearlescentmoon, Renthedog, GoodTimeWithScar.
<Biffa2001> Stressmonster101, Tango, Tinfoilchef, VintageBeef.
<Biffa2001> Welsknight, xBCrafted, ZombieCleo, Zedaph.
<Biffa2001> Me, Xisuma, Pixlriffs, ZloyXP.
<PrenethMalum> I suggest searching the whole world because he could be also glitching somewhere.
<PrenethMalum> I'm also trying to figure out a way to connect a Main Watcher, but I still can't promise that I can help you.
