I've been thinking about the disappearances for so long. It's the inly thing I can think about anymore. It's just sort of fascinating to wonder where they all went. But one thing I really want to do.. is find a way to bring them back and prevent anyone else from going.

One thing I have noticed is that each person disappears while they're in the middle of something. Paintbrush vanished while carrying snacks somewhere. Paper while making OJ tea (there was a hot puddle on the floor, and when it dried, it was super sticky for days!). Knife also while getting snacks. Suitcase though.. I don't know about what she was doing. But a pattern is a pattern.

The true question is... how did they just disappear out of nowhere? And if they did, then someone must have seen it happen, right? And how is it possible for them to be absolutely gone without a trace?? Where did they go?

I need to think. Each disappearance was about two to three weeks apart, so it's not like they're disappearing rapidly. But since it's not a constant amount of time between disappearances, that means it's not controlled. If it's not controlled, that suggests the thing that's causing this is either doing it on accident, malfunctioning, or is really unorganized to the point where they can't manage time correctly to kidnap people.

So I can rule out the last one. But I still need more answers. At my desk, my leg continues to bounce, and I keep on chewing my pen can staring down at my notebook filled with scribbles and writing. It's raining outside.

I hope, wherever Paintbrush, Knife, Paper, and mostly Suitcase happen to be, that they are all doing well. I never thought I'd say this, with Paintbrush's explosive temper and Knife's gruff nature, I kinda miss them. I just hope I can get them back. I can't imagine how their best friends feel. Missing them like crazy, I believe.

Wait. Their friends. I can ask them if they've seen anything! I still have sort of a lead to go off of! "Yes!" I yell out.

I yoink my notebook quickly and head to the living room to see if I could find anyone who might know or have seen something. The first person I saw was OJ cleaning some dishes. I I could go ask him about Paper! I click my pen open.

"Hey OJ! is it okay of I ask some questions about Paper?" I asked cheerfully. My smile faded a little when I saw OJ glower at me. He had slightly larger eyebags, which made the look even more scary.

"Why do you need to ask me about him?" He asked. His voice sounded monotone, which dampened my mood a little, but I won't let OJ's negativity affect me.

"Well, I want to try to find out where the missing people went and how." I replied.

"Oh okay. Ask away then." OJ stated as he went back to washing dishes.

"Firstly, what was he doing before he got kidnapped? I know he was making tea, but why?" I asked the first question.

"He was making tea for me since I was overworking myself. He never returned with it though." OJ said emotionlessly.

This wasn't the answer that I was expecting. I hoped for something more detailed, but it was only one question.

"Alright.. well second, has he said anything about leaving here or the whereabouts of any of the other missing people?"

"Nope" OJ said while popping the 'p'.

Well this might take a while.

I continued to ask questions to OJ until he saw Pickle in the living room. I mainly asked about Knife, also the others, but I didn't get anything good. I also found balloon but he didn't give anything useful.
