Faust-Doctor is gone.

(They had thought, at first, that he had gone exploring, or had simply wished to be alone. But they are familiar with his routine, and he has not "turned up" at any of the locations where he should normally be found for some time.

He is gone.)

Comments

[vagabone]

[He can use his Stone simply by being near it, thinking of who he wants to speak to, and then doing so. He just can't... move it anywhere. Oh well, it's still nicer than being a skull.]

Gone-gone, or...?

[forwearemany]

He has left this location.

(It's possible Legion sounds sad. This is because they are in fact, very sad that their buddy is no longer here.

He is alive at home, unlike them. Many of those alive in their home universes wish to return.

And yet, they mourn.)

[vagabone]

Oh.

[Well, then. He's never good at reading robo-feelings, they're not like Rabbit, but they do sound... lonely.]

Were you friends?

[forwearemany]

Yes.

(He'd been staying with them, while recovering from injury, and then after, though it could only be temporary as they fully intended to convert their house into a museum.)

[onegreeneye]

...So it's certain, then.

[Ginko had come to suspect the same, given Faust's recent absence from the clinic... but it's still difficult to hear it confirmed by someone else.]

I'm sorry to hear that.

[forwearemany]

Affirmative.

(Sad chattering noises.)

[onegreeneye]

[As is often the case, Ginko kind of feels like he should have more to say here; Legion and Faust were clearly close, probably more so than Faust and Ginko himself. But there isn't really a lot to reassure them with, under the circumstances.

So, all he's really got:] Thank you for letting the rest of us know.

[forwearemany]

Acknowledged.

(He is alive in his home universe. It is their only reassurance at this time.)
