[Nita's posting from a public terminal, so the ID is technically anonymous, but it's not like she's made any secret of her identity. Also, "Devin Craig" has never posted from "home," so she can't filter to him, and thus this is viewable to all.]

Professor Craig? Are you still in one piece? Check in, huh?

[She peers into the camera, concerned for "Craig's" squishy, baseline body.]

Or, I guess, since this is all public, has anyone seen him lately?

Uh. Hang on.

[HOW DOES COMPUTER

Nita's pretty good with early-90s comic book computers, but, um. It takes her some poking to finally attach a link to a "Craig" post.]

Ah, yes, that will do.

[beep boop cross reference and other prime time drama computing phrases ]

Hold on a minu --

They're using some kind of anonymous for of networking. Does this Professor even want to be found?

All the cafe consoles are anonymous. I'm anonymous right now.

[Ducked into Starbucks after a hard day punching gang members.]

Great. I give it a week before the anonymity makes people too comfortable with sharing their opinions. [ How fucking dare they. ]

I'm no detective, but if this is someone who needs to be found? The best I can promise is an ear to ground. Picking things apart is something of a nasty habit of mine -- so he's either hiding, or not. At least you can have that narrowed down. Not the hardest thing in the world.

I don't think he's hiding. I'm worried he's hurt. He's just a normal human.

[What has two thumbs and falls for all the secret identities?]

Normal humans are perfectly capable of screwing themselves over without preternatural influence. [ Coming from somehow who thinks the worst scenario is usually the right one. ]

Is he of some significance? Normal, boring human status aside.

Not college professors.

[Jeez, Miranda.]

...He's my friend?

[Jeez, Miranda.]

College professors aren't made out of wet cardboard, or much for being ineffable.

[As far as Nita's concerned, most people might as well be made of wet cardboard.]

He's a noncombatant!

So is the majority of the human race, and you're going to assume they're all rotting in a ditch because you haven't gotten a phone call in some allotted amount time? Please. If he's a professor worth his salt he could just be busy.

I already said I'd run a cross-reference for anything on this Craig; I don't understand why you're so attached to the idea that he got himself killed. I mean. Why bother him with him in the first place if he's such a liability you're not attentive of?

[YOU ARE GIVING HER SOME SERIOUS SUPERVILLAIN VIBES, MIRANDA.]

Whoa, lady, did you fail kindergarten or something?

I don't understand the joke.

[ beep boop I am a humorless automaton ]

I care 'cause he's my friend, jeez.

That still doesn't explain the j- [ She gave up and dropped it. Understanding humor was not within the parameters of her mission, or, whatever this was. Time killer. ]

There's a lot of noise what with the gang activity, but as I've said, I'll do all that I can.

Well, thanks.

[Nita is clearly Out of Sorts, but it's (mostly) not due to Miranda.]
