[Liminal, right at the start] Angry Angsty Teen Alert

[naturaltwohands]

[Drizzt's mind suddenly and without warning rolls forth, his anger slamming into the network, his thoughts barely coherent as the Hunter fights for control.]

My parents are gone. I must bring them back. One of you must know. Tell me now!

[Never before in Synodiporia has Drizzt Do'Urden been so fully enraged, filled with anger that is so much easier to feel than the agonizing pain of losing his father after they had truly become father and son. In his anger, he unhelpfully does not state where he is. Only some that know him well might figure it out.]

[OOC: Psychic post OTA. Feel free to yell at him for being a dick, too.]

[helborn]

Drizzt. You're not going to get anywhere by yelling at people. Do you think we wouldn't try to grab people again if we knew how to get them back?

[naturaltwohands]

I am not yelling!

[Yes, you are.]

And someone must know.

[helborn]

It sounds like you are, even if you don't think you are.

[Just. Sigh. He doesn't have the energy for this.]

Do you want me to come help you look?

[Even if he knows they won't find anything.]

[photonicfighter]

Gone?

[Elphaba's gone again? Zaknafein is gone? She feels a pang of sadness of her own, but now's hardly the time for that.]

Drizzt, if they're gone, they're... gone.

[naturaltwohands]

I am not.

... Only if you do not try to stop me from looking.

[naturaltwohands]

NO!

[helborn]

... I'll help you look.

[But he isn't not going to try to stop him after a bit.]

[It's not technically a lie.]

[photonicfighter]

It might not be permanent! Elphaba's come back before! Hasn't she?

[naturaltwohands]

I am in my father's rooms.

[He's not able to say thank you, right now. ... also, he's going to ditch you the second you try.]

[helborn]

Okay. I'll be there soon. Want anything to eat?

[naturaltwohands]

I will not wait.

[naturaltwohands]

No.

[photonicfighter]

You have to wait. There's nothing to do but wait.

[A calm tone in the face of an angry one is how she's been taught to de-escalate things, at least.]

[naturaltwohands]

I refuse.

[It'll at least stop him from getting angrier.]

[photonicfighter]

Then at least don't hurt anyone while you go searching. Especially yourself.

[forcechanic]

Don't you think if we knew how to do that we would? Do you think I wanted to be stuck with Grandfather and no Dad or Uncle Luke to help with that? Do you think Rose's mom would still be gone?

[She's just spent six weeks steeped in disturbances in the Force and now she's getting this sort of emotion blast and she can't deal]

[naturaltwohands]

I can make no promises.

[naturaltwohands]

[Drizzt will hate himself later for this, certainly. But for now, he is cold and angry.]

Perhaps you have not tried hard enough.

Private

[helborn]

I'm working on it as best I can.

... Might need to keep first aid on hand, but I'm doing what I can.

[forcechanic]

Really? Really? You think those things aren't enough motivation? You don't think anyone has ever cared about someone who disappeared enough to try everything they can?

We're not in control. All we can do is hope for a dungeon portal. Then we can do something about it.

[naturaltwohands]

[All of those truths are similarly discarded and ignored.]

I intend to do more.

NOT HERE

[comebewe]

[Turns out, someone does know how. But they are pointedly Not Telling.

Yeah, Matthew is just going to carefully not reply to this post]

[awitchdidit]

...I don't know how to give you what you're asking, but maybe you'd like to explain what you remember from the Jaunt?

[naturaltwohands]

The Jaunt does not matter. Only Zaknafein and Elphaba matter!

[awitchdidit]

Both of them are incredibly capable of taking care of themselves, wherever they are. If you wish to know where they are, thinking of the events that led up to this point is important.
