[No video today, because like hell is Arthur going to just flash his pimply teenage face across the network for everyone to see. While normally this would put him into hermit mode, something else has happened which has made him come to the network - for help, maybe, though he's frankly grasping at straws here.

Mostly, he doesn't want to admit the truth to himself.

Ariadne probably woke up. Without him.]

If anyone has any information on the whereabouts of Ariadne - brown hair, brown eyes, aged 23, 5-foot-four - I'll pay you for it.

[He studiously ignores the teenaged tone of his voice, and plows on.]

And if anyone has caused her harm, they will live to regret it.

Last I saw her was over a cup of coffee a month ago. We were talking about architect-y things. Haven't seen her since, so don't go all Terminator on me.

[A beat.]

Nice girl though. Maybe she won the lottery.

Why would I do that? ...What would "going all Terminator" even entail?

[That's just weird.]

I'm hoping she's gone home, but foul play isn't outside the realm of possibility. [Especially given his profession, not that he's going to be saying that.]

Killing me and shredding the body or something. [Said with the comfortable knowledge of an Arnie fan that has immersed herself in his filmology.] Your whole 'live to regret it' bit sounded like you'd, uh, bring the pain if you thought anyone hurt her. I was covering my ass just in case.

[C-Y-A is smart around terminators in her book.]

Foul play? You're saying someone'd be out to get her here? Like, a kedan?

If I have good reason to think someone hurt her or was holding her against her will, then yeah. Can't say you gave me any reason to think that.

[He is just pop-culture illiterate, ignore him.]

I don't know. It's possible we've made enemies. It's likely she's just gone, though.
