tushanshu | 004 ♒ Audio & Text [Atlantean], Encrypted

[Encrypted Audio to anyone who might have known Mera or anyone on fairly good terms with Arthur, 60%]
[Arthur just sounds... tired. Resigned. He doesn't mince words trying to break the news gently, because he's the one who cares the most anyway.] Mera, my wife, has disappeared from Keeliai.

[Encrypted Audio to Kal-El/Superman, 80%]
I need to talk to you.

[Encrypted Text to Kaldur'ahm, Written Atlantean, Hackable]
[Feel free to have your character hack his text, but if they do, all they'll come up with is a bunch of odd symbols and glyphs arranged into what are possibly words. Atlantean is a fairly difficult language to parse through.]

Mera is... gone. There was no trace of her this morning, and I can't find her mental signature. Please come by when you get a chance, Kaldur, we need to talk about something important.

[ooc: He's being an antisocial douchebag, but anybody who knows him is absolutely welcome to just come by his place in the Water Sector. The first audio post I'm leaving pretty open-ended on purpose, feel free to just assume your character was included if they know him or Mera, or know OF them. Also feel free to hack it, it's all good.]

It's... alright. Atlantis has its queen back. I just thought people should know.

[People Percy is not going to tell about Pepper's theory of people dying when they leave: this guy] That's a good way of looking at it. I guess I forget sometimes that not everyone-- [There's a pause. Because this isn't about him and what he and Annabeth are facing back home, it's about a guy who's lost his wife]

Maybe you could go up to Asti's head?

[Soul death isn't really the same as the death of a cloned body, at least. The latter is easier to deal with but it's still not something he'd like to hear at this point.] 'A good way of looking at it'? [He quirks an eyebrow.] I know that not everyone here has much to go back to in these cases, but Mera does. And Poseidonis needs her.

I probably will a bit later. I have some things to do first.

Yeah, it just - I don't know, I hadn't really thought about it that way, before.

[a beat] Need a hand?

I suppose it isn't something people think about often unless they've had someone very close disappear. [It was always a distant possibility in the back of his mind, not something likely to happen, until Mera was just gone.]

It isn't really the sort of thing I need help with, but thank you. I just need to get my affairs in order in case this... happens again. [To him.]

[Percy's voice becomes a little strained here, although he's trying to cover it] Right. Yeah.

[He clears his throat] Okay, just let me know if there's anything I can do.

[Arthur just sighs softly. He won't prod at it, even if he can tell that his voice is just a little bit off.] I will. Thank you, Percy.
