[save_theworld]

I'm looking for a friend of mine. They went missing four days ago but they're still in the phonebook. So they're still here, right?

Their name is Chara. They're a kid like me, with brown hair and red eyes. They have a green sweater with a big yellow stripe on it. If you see them please tell me.

Chara if you read this

Please come home.

how long has it been since you've seen them?

[When'd they vanish? And why? They'd reached the End, hadn't they? There's another world out there, maybe, one where everyone's faces are scribbled out in red, but how far along is it liable they're gonna get?

How long until they return?]

[circumitus]

do they have an ID set up on the network? name should still be in there if they're around.

Just after the party. I thought they'd needed some time alone.

[save_theworld]

Their name is still there. But they aren't answering their phone.

Frisk, I'm sorry I haven't.

[His face has gone grey with worry]

Did anything happen in the past few days? Anything worrying or unusual?

[save_theworld]

[Their own face isn't doing much better; it doesn't look like Frisk has slept all that much, and their cheeks are scrubbed red, eyes still a bit watery. Their voice is still calm- or at the least, flat. Emotionless.]

Just the party. We hid in the lab when people started breaking things.

[The sight of Frisk looking worn and upset adds to Rosen's worries]

Do you remember how many days ago? I...I spoke to Chara the day after I was unwell

[code for: drunk]

[skelebro]

i'm sorry, kid.
i didn't know.

if they're still in your phone, they ought'a be back sometime.

[...right?]

[circumitus]

that at least rules out that they're gone gone.
will keep an eye out for you.

[ishotyouuu]

Sorry kiddo. Haven't seen them.

[Not the best message to come back to after a month in the caves, let's be honest. As a matter of fact...]

You think they might've gotten lost in the caves somewhere?

Want someone to form a search party or something?

[save_theworld]

Didn't tell anyone.

[So unless he'd outright been looking for them...how was Sans supposed to know.]

Thanks. I'll keep looking.

[save_theworld]

I hope so. I'm going to keep looking too, thanks Rey

[skelebro]

you want any help?

[That is fairly hypothetical. He's gonna be looking anyway.]

[ritualized]

I was quite weak for several days after [...] last week.

Do you know how your friend was feeling? They may have decided they needed the rest, or it could have caught up with them unexpectedly.

[She can at least cover the more optimistic possibilities. Both of those things would be worse if Chara hadn't been somewhere safe to begin with.]

I will look around for Chara. Do you know where they tend to go when they find themselves in need of some alone time?

[circumitus]

no problem.
you need anything?

Voice

[journalname]

I could not find them in...in the foggy area.

[It beggars belief that Asgore could have failed to notice Chara was gone for four days, so he's been out looking! In Silent Hill! Without Frisk, because god no we're not doing that again]

[benumbing]

where was the last place you saw your friend?

[survivorsguilt]

i cant help with what the phonebook means but im here if you need company

[In the meantime, she's kicking up and heading out of her room to start doing some rounds looking for them.]

text

[save_theworld]

If someone isn't in the phonebook anymore it means the Door took them back home.

[Which... can they really trust that? What if it's actually delayed? What if the next time they check their phone, Chara's-]

I'm out looking I don't know if I'm much fun right now.

[save_theworld]

We hid in the labs together when the party got bad. They weren't there when I left.

Voice

[save_theworld]

...Okay.

[They're actually...kind of glad he went without them. After what they'd seen there with Asriel, they're not so keen to revisit that location a third time.]

Um, I'm going to look around the lake. Someone asked if they got lost in the caves...

text

[survivorsguilt]

then im sure we'll find them, yeah? the gods are always doing weird shit. there could be 50 different reasons they've been missing a few days

thats alright. im gonna look too, okay?

text

[save_theworld]

Yeah. [Funnily enough, that's not reassuring in the slightest.] But the gods would tell us if they needed Chara for something. Wouldn't they?

Please. I'm looking by the lake.

[save_theworld]

Their room? I already checked there. Sometimes they go near the caves to fight monsters.
