[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?

[loves_osaka]

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

[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]

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

Knives were her weapon of choice.

[jimfromit]

My sentiments exactly.

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

[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'

[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.

[jimfromit]

Oh I guarantee I always keep an eye out.

[heloise]

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

[bustered]

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

[jimfromit]

The optimism is admirable but it is indeed that Clove.

Ah well...ce la vie.

[jimfromit]

I wouldn't necessarily call that the better option...the death she'll experience over there will be somewhat more permanent.

Although you never know...given the castles revolving door policy maybe she'll return in a week or two?

[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.

[heloise]

[ She inhales and holds her breath. ]

That is easier, is it not?

[loves_osaka]

[ ...Why does that sound kind of... ]

Anyway, thanks fer th' update.

[jimfromit]

It is.

I'd say more so in a place like this. You bring in a weakness such as emotion to this volatile little world then you're really just asking for a fall.

[jimfromit]

Keep up the good work.

[loves_osaka]

yeah, o' course.

Dictated

[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.
