EVENT ∞ FORUM — July 125


Subject: Missing Girl, Last Seen Quadrant 1
Date: July 8, 125
Time: 01:45:13
By: 597-8124 (Felix Bjurstrom)

Heard from a Priscilla Deboir (anyone know her? She works at the Lucky Blue corner store near the Blocks), says her daughter Millie's gone missing in Quadrant 1, out past the Scrapyard. I've got a feeling there's more to it than the usual; she had a text message stop halfway through a word and ghosted after.

Anyone in the area, can you spare a second to take a look? Be careful! Who knows what's out there.


In-world, the "updates" will occur live, with about 3-4 days between each update. OOC, we've provided all details to you upfront so that you can decide how to approach the event.

Don't worry too much about nailing down when your character knows what! The division of these updates is to give you flexibility in case there's information you don't want your character to know yet. You're free to do as you like to best suit your plans. Updates are numbered in order, but we have not included specific dates or timestamps to allow for wiggle room.

To engage with Felix and Ollie, reply under each specific comment update (linked above) to keep things organized.

Update 1: Millie's return and the abandoned mall

Thought my dad made this update already...he's always misplacing his own head. Millie's okay, seemed she was just a bit stuck in some empty mall that popped up. We get them more often than you'd think. Something about built-up cosmic energy and commercial shopping centers goes hand-in-hand.

Update 2: Mannequin sightings

We've got a situation going on, and it's getting bigger. Reports are coming in that mannequins (for those not "in the know," life-sized human-shaped dolls) are popping up everywhere, causing a real amount of trouble. They're following people home and are pretty dang persistent about it.

Oh, yes...Hitchhikers is an apt name for them, don't we think? I'm estimating this as a Level 3 threat for now!

Update 3: Unusual burn victims in the hospital

Now, I can't say for sure this is related to our hitchhikers, but a nurse friend of mine says St. Margery's -- the hospital, as you might know -- they've got some recent victims who claim to have suffered severe burns with no physical injuries to show for it. And! At the same time, I found an Enforcer report of smoke coming from the Pavilion, some arsonists burning junk.

Ah, I might just be too deep in conspiracy theories like Ollie tells me...but all information is worth mentioning, right?

When that creepy fucking doll popped up in my backseat, I turned around right quick and chucked it back where it belonged. It never showed up anywhere again I ever seen.

Maybe the rest of you fancy city chasers ought to try the smart thing for once, you ever think of that?
