[Wow two Moriarty posts in the space of a week? Aren't you people lucky?.

Except he's in a bit a mood, the castle's habit of sending home people he considers fun and smart has continued...as he found out when he made a house call to Clove earlier.

You all get a voice post...sod being a creepy troll towards the newbies for a change.]

Ding-Dong

Just a quick public service announcement that Miss Clove has left the building.

I repeat...Miss Clove has left the building.

[heloise]

Does she have a penchant for knives?

[jimfromit]

Well that’s not usually the first question people ask when a comrade goes missing but...yes.

Knives were her weapon of choice.

[heloise]

I rhought, perhaps, it isn't the same Clove.

[jimfromit]

The optimism is admirable but it is indeed that Clove.

Ah well...ce la vie.

[heloise]

Will you miss her?

[jimfromit]

Probably...maybe, I don't know.

She was intelligent company but I'm not going to get all emotional about it.

I'm not the sentimental type.

[loves_osaka]

Thanks for th' report. That makes a total o' [ Insert accurate number here ] people since that expedition started.

[jimfromit]

You're welcome.

The castle certainly seems to be thinning the herd somewhat whilst this expedition is playing out.

[loves_osaka]

yeah, but we've gained alotta people too, so I wouldn't exactly call it thinin' the herd. More like tradin' people off.

[jimfromit]

If you insist...

[loves_osaka]

Anyway, I'm keepin' an eye on things while Kudo's gone so if ya notice anyone else go missin' please don't hesitate t' say somethin'

[jimfromit]

Oh I guarantee I always keep an eye out.

[bustered]

Damn it.

[It's not necessarily directed at Moriarty, but nevertheless the journal picks up the expletive anyway because this is Paradisa it does what it wants.]

[jimfromit]

My sentiments exactly.

[No snark, or sarcasm behind that statement...just a criminal consultant annoyed at his client list getting shorter and shorter.]

[bustered]

Just disappeared though? No body?

[Likewise, a mentor missing his almost-student. Stupid castle.]

[jimfromit]

Well she's not in the woods and her nameplate is gone from her room.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out whats happened.

[bustered]

I'm not exactly near the castle to check for myself. But I'd rather her disappear than have been murdered here.

[the_effect_she_has]

What do you mean "she's left the building"?

[Katniss is not sure she should be paranoid or just - be paranoid.]

[jimfromit]

She's gone home...adios, farewell etc.

Back to those games to die, like so many before her.

[the_effect_she_has]

[She pressed her lips together briefly, her eyes closing momentarily.]

She won't be forgotten.

[jimfromit]

Good killers are rarely forgotten.

[the_effect_she_has]

And she was one of the best.

[wizard_redfive]

[Oh wow. Clove's gone? As in home gone? Sounds too good to be true. Tragic yes, as Dairine wouldn't wish Clove's fate on anybody, but her departure would definitely lift some weight off Dairine's shoulders.

Of course, she would rather check for herself than take the word of a stranger. But that'll have to wait until she returns.]

[just because all his friends are on the trip with him doesn't mean that he doesn't check the journal every day, just in case. when Gale sees this, he can't help but feel relieved. one less way to have to worry for Rue]

Thanks for letting us know.

[jimfromit]

I aim to please.
