2nd Abnormality

Hello fellow residents. For those who don't know me, this time around, my name is Helen Magnus and I have a...request.

For the past few weeks, more than that actually I've been...
[A pause while she collects herself and reorganizes her thoughts]

I suppose this is best put bluntly. There is a young woman, twenty three years of age. Approximately five feet and six inches tall, blond hair and blue eyes. She is of slim build and, I must caution, a less than temperate disposition. She answers to the name of Ashley, she is my daughter.

If you see her, please contact me at once.

Thank you.
[The writing it not the neat scroll usually accompanying her text, nor is the voice smooth and controlled. There is an edge to her that suggests...well, it just suggests.]

If I can be of assistance in any way, please do not hesitate to ask anything of me. At the very least, I am willing to lend an ear.

Alright, in your time here have you seen someone arrive and the castle not designate them a place? If she is here I don't know where she'd be, she hasn't contacted me or posted in a journal.

I am afraid I will not be of much help in that regard, as I've only been here for over a month.

[He might have suggested that she would be somewhere in the city, but he can tell she's clearly distressed, and he has a feeling doing so would only exacerbate the situation.]

If your daughter is indeed here, then I am sure that she will be found. We've many kind souls, here, and if she is incapable of sustaining herself, then someone will help.

Perhaps it would be best to take awhile to clear your mind. The parent is the stabilizing force for the child, after all, and taking the time to calm down may also allow you to get a better idea of what you should do.

You are right, of course, and very wise. Normally I am the one to offer such advice, it seems we can all be both teacher and student when it comes to life.

And more so for matters of the heart.

It can be difficult to make logical choices when one is feeling emotional. Especially when it comes to one's offspring. [He doesn't hold it against her.]

I would do anything to save her, if it were possible.

[Anything that wouldn't damn the world and all those in it. She's faced that choice before.]

As any respectable parent should.

Now, you say that you have not met or spoken with your daughter. May I ask, then, what brought about this inquiry of her whereabouts?

I catch glimpses, scents...feelings. Nothing concrete, nothing substantial just enough to hint. But she was....there was an incident and she vanished. There was no way to know just what happened.

Do you think that she would avoid you, rather than seek you out?

I...don't know. Before she, before what happened she had been attacked and brainwashed, they changed her. In the end she saved me but I don't know what state her mind would be in.

[Attacked and... brainwashed? Sounds like some pretty heavy stuff.]

I advise you to listen to those feelings, but with caution and skepticism. I would imagine if your daughter were here, you would know through the other residents, and if none have responded with an affirmative for your description, then it is unlikely she is present. [Unlikely, but not impossible.]

[It was vile, and heartbreaking.]

I cannot ignore them entirely, but so many friends have asked me to be patient and sensible that I can't see not making that my course either. So I will wait, but I will not give up.

That is a respectable decision, Helen.

Thank you for saying so, and thank you for both the counsel and watching for her.

Of course.

Ah, where are my manners? I am Mufasa.

I'm sorry, I should have asked. My mind has not been fully invested in anything since this all began I'm afraid. My manners have been horribly lax.

There is no need to apologize. I suspect I would be the same way, were I to hear of my son's arrival.

Again I thank you, and should I ever be able to return the favor please do not hesitate to ask.

I will keep your offer in mind. Thank you, Helen, and I hope that things may be well for you.
