[A man is running through the town, frantically searching for something. He seems completely unaware that he's been moved to a new location as he continues to search, pulling random people he encounters aside.]

Have you seen my family?

Comments

[Van hears the familiar voice and stops, turning to see who it's from.]

Lar- Badaq. Do you need help?

[desertscythe.livejournal.com]

I can't find my wife or daughter anywhere. Have you seen them?

[allthatdies]

...I'm afraid I haven't. I'll help you search for them, however. They may be here.

[desertscythe.livejournal.com]

...Thank you.

Meryl is only a newborn. I have to make sure she's alright.

[allthatdies]

There aren't many infants here, so that should make it easier to find her. We'll ask everyone we can, then.

However...There is a chance that she's, grown since you've seen her last.

[desertscythe.livejournal.com]

I was only gone a few days. She can't have grown too much.

[allthatdies]

This, is no longer the Auldrant you remember. Time flows differently, here. A few days for you may have well been years for your daughter and wife.

[desertscythe.livejournal.com]

That can't be!

[allthatdies]

I know it seems unlikely but, if you wish to find your daughter again, you must be prepared to accept that she may no longer be the child you remember her to be.

[stays silent as he tries to process all of this]

[allthatdies]

...Your daughter likely isn't harmed though. She should be alright.

[desertscythe.livejournal.com]

And Sylvia?

[allthatdies]

...I'm afraid I don't know.

I'm sorry.

[alskdjfskjdf!! What the hell!? Asch shoved at him... and yeah, that didn't do him much good.]

Let. Go. Dammit.

[desertscythe.livejournal.com]

[lets him go, but he's not going anywhere]

I need your help.

[not-the-dreck.livejournal.com]

[Asch brushed his tabard off, giving the frantic man a dull look.]

Fine. When did you see them last?

[desertscythe.livejournal.com]

It was a few days ago, before I left Baticul. When I returned, they were gone.

[not-the-dreck.livejournal.com]

Then you're out of luck here. This isn't Baticul.

[desertscythe.livejournal.com]

It has to be!

[not-the-dreck.livejournal.com]

Do you have eyes, old man? Does this look anything like Baticul to you?

[desertscythe.livejournal.com]

But if this isn't Baticul...

[not-the-dreck.livejournal.com]

I don't know what this city is called, just that there are a lot of people from Auldrant here.

[desertscythe.livejournal.com]

Then it's possible they arrived as well.

[not-the-dreck.livejournal.com]

...maybe. [Though he's totally not betting on some random man and his family showing up... dammit, why did this guy feel familiar?]

What are their names?

[desertscythe.livejournal.com]

My wife is Sylvia, and my daughter is Meryl. She's only a baby.
