[torrefied]

[He's put off doing this notification as long as he can, hoping against hope that she'll turn up again, that her physical absence and alias's disappearance from the directory are mistakes, that there is another explanation waiting to be found. But it's been three long days, and no sign of her. She has friends, and they probably deserve to know, too.]

Sharon's gone.

[Yes, he's upset. No, he doesn't want to talk about it.]

I'm taking over maintenance of her emergency supply cache network, but I could use some help.

[Grieving? What grieving, there's work to be done.]

[Well. This is the boy who was extremely rude to her, and yet Brennan understands all too well what it's like to lose someone important to you. She can look past their disagreements at least for now, when there is a chance he'll accept her help.]

I would like to help.

I'm very sorry. I have also lost someone this way. It is very difficult.

Can't make the charms any more but you can have anything from the clinic's first aid stashes.

( What more is there to say? Kate feels hollow reading those words. Concentrating on the practical things is easier. )

[closerift]

[ No. No, not after all this time, not Sharon - ]

Where are you?

[ She at least uses her voice, wild as it is, to ask, rather than just text (as if she could, with her hands shaking). ]

[toiletseat_girl]

Wait. Sharon's gone? Seriously?

[synthedick]

[Nick and Sharon had their disagreements, much like he and Mello, but this is still an announcement he'd hoped he'd never see on the network. Sigh.]

For what it's worth, I'm sorry.

I've been keeping an eye on the caches on my patrol route, but I can pick up a few more to make sure they stay supplied.

[thechoiceisyours]

I'll help out however, but I'll also say I've got a wolf and good coffee and a bunch of empty rooms.

[And he thinks it goes without saying that he's really sorry to hear this.]

[It always sucks when someone goes home, but...Jo is especially sad that it's Sharon. She'll miss her.]

I've already been checking on a few, I can take more if you need me to.

[circumitus]

[Fuck. This one hits, hard.]

can help with the supply caches. want to. she was a
friend.

[That's probably what you'd call people who go out of their ways to dig you up from being buried alive. Sharon was good enough to have returned the favor, despite their disagreements at the time.]

[cakebuffet]

I'm sorry.

[She doesn't know him, she doesn't know this Sharon, but it doesn't matter. She knows how she would feel if she lost someone she cared about. Loss is never easy.]

It sounds like she was doing good work.
If I can help at all, I'd like to.

[hasitsthorns]

I'd be happy to help with whatever you need.

[ Grieving is for losers. ]

[so_dark_a_road]

OH, HELL.

Sharon of all people. [ Not that it wouldn't be a problem if it were someone else. These disappearances are disconcerting and horrible. ]

I'm really sorry, Mello. I'll miss her too.

And I'll help with the cache.

[unknowable]

I've been trying to help out where I can already. I'll do more.

[Adam is terrible at talking about his feelings, especially to someone he doesn't know that well, but Sharon was a person he genuinely cared about, and he knows how she felt about Mello. So he tries.]

I guess I should have expected it, this place takes everyone eventually. But I didn't. She's been here as long as me. This feels unfair.

[elegant_and_proud]

I will help with the caches. They were a good idea that proved useful when the city was split and it's generally a good idea to not be wholly reliant on the gods for things.
