Missing Rescuers

[lightthedarkness]

Kirby is missing.

Has anyone else gone missing?

Do we even have a list of others who came with us but haven't made contact with anyone since being here? Do we have any idea where they might have gone?

Who else is missing? Since we're all split up... please check in and say if you're safe.

[This might mean she and the others might have to move too, if their house is compromised.]

I agree, we should find some way to check in with one another. The last thing I want to see is a magazine with a rescuer's face on it, telling all about the newest musician addition to a band.

[invisiballman]

That... is a very unsettling thought. Do you think that's something they would try?

[He'd been sort of imagining guys with suits and guns take you away and then no one ever sees you again.]

[lightthedarkness]

We're already here, after all, and Gold and Silver said that requires a good deal of energy.

[invisiballman]

True. I hadn't considered that we might actually be more convenient for them than searching for other victims.

They're especially likely to consider it once we finally manage to get some people away from them. We'll have to proceed very carefully....

[lightthedarkness]

Has anyone tried rescuing someone yet?

[invisiballman]

Not that I know of. And I'm sure we'd have heard something if anyone had actually gotten someone away from their captors.

[lightthedarkness]

We should set up a safe house or... something. It's not like the musicians can go walking on the street once they're rescued.

[invisiballman]

That's a very good idea. I wonder if we have the resources for something like that...

[lightthedarkness]

Maybe we could convince some of the artists ready to leave to buy properties or... something? I don't know.

[invisiballman]

That could be tricky. It's likely that the executives would be tracking their spending.

[But if they could figure out a way to divert some funds...]

[lightthedarkness]

What other choice do we have? We can't afford that sort of stuff and we can't go buying property in our own names without someone getting suspicious.

[invisiballman]

If we could actually convince some of the musicians to help us, it's possible they could pass us some money under the table. It would be tricky though.

And a little bit like money laundering...

[lightthedarkness]

Ah...

I think... I think I might be able to convince a few.

But their lives are more important than the... money thing.

[invisiballman]

That would be extremely helpful. But take care you don't draw too much attention to yourself.

[He worries about her.]

[lightthedarkness]

I'll try.

[invisiballman]

Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help.
