Two questions, possibly related.

One -- how can you tell when someone's been Ported out? I haven't had it happen to me yet, so... I was wondering.

[ He pauses, thinking of how to phrase this next question. ]

Two -- not to alarm anyone, but has anyone seen Matt Murdock lately? He hasn't been coming into work or answering his calls. Once, I could understand, but it's been three days, and... [  Deep, anxious breath. ] I'm a little concerned.

I'm of the understanding that the only ways to be certain are to have been physically there when the person has vanished, or...to know someone with the power to be sure. Barring both of those, I'm not sure if there's very much to tell for certain.

[slight pause. apologetic:] I'm afraid I've not heard from Matt Murdock in some time. Do you need help trying to locate him?

[bedeviledspider.livejournal.com]

Fantastic. I don't suppose you would know of anyone with that power, would you?

[ Then there's a pause, and the sound of paper being ruffled. Someone's looking through case files. ] Sorry, just a second, I-- ah. That's right. You provided him with testimony, didn't you? If you're offering, I... wouldn't mind some assistance.

[soldieringblue]

I do, but...[trailing off in an air of reluctance. hiei's not exactly...er...

anyway.]

Yes, I did. I'm called Soldier Blue. I will help if I can, though my efforts may only confirm him here or not in this city alone. If he is elsewhere, then...

Can help you look.

[ Doesn't even realize he's let out a relieved sigh. ] Thank you.

[OBVIOUSLY ALARMED.]

I--I can't find him anywhere either, Reilly.

[bedeviledspider.livejournal.com]

[ Still alarmed, too! But trying to adopt a more soothing tone. ] You-- You can't?

[psychomancy]

No, I've looked everywhere.

[spiderfanboy.livejournal.com]

Do people here disappear often?

[bedeviledspider.livejournal.com]

People get sent back home, but I'm not sure about regular disappearances...

[spiderfanboy.livejournal.com]

So, he could have been sent home... Maybe he just got lost or something.

I haven't seen Matt either, honey. I can help you look for him though.

[bedeviledspider.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Misty.

Spider-Girl reminded me, we should start with his apartment. When would you be ready...?

[afros]

I'm ready now. Meet you there?

[Video, Private]

[secondhandwebs]

You haven't checked out his place yet?

[Video, Private]

[bedeviledspider.livejournal.com]

I was going to after work -- had to pick up the slack since he left...

[Video, Private]

[secondhandwebs]

I'm coming with you.

[Pause]

After sundown.

[notadartboard]

Unless you see it happen before your own eyes, you can't tell.

Well. There might be some who can. Miss Raven could tell. But she's gone, too. I don't know if anyone else has the same power she did.

If not for her help I would have called my friends missing. Everyone else I know who's been sent home had someone witness it, or make an educated guess.

[voice]

[bedeviledspider.livejournal.com]

I didn't see him go, so maybe--

[ Deep breath. ]

You sound like you've had a lot of experience with this place. How often are typical kidnappings, or am I just clinging to false hope here?

[voice]

[notadartboard]

Kidnappings? I haven't heard of any in the time I've been here, that I can recall. Take it with a grain of salt, though, because I don't always keep up with everything.

[iron-fister.livejournal.com]

Matt's missing?

[bedeviledspider.livejournal.com]

He hasn't come to work in three days. Or answered his phone.

[ encrypted ] And I haven't seen him on the streets.

[After he leaves the dojo in capable hands]

[iron-fister.livejournal.com]

I'll look for him.

[Voice]

[theredarachnid.livejournal.com]

Well...crap. [And, because Ben is totally oblivious] Has anybody heard from Daredevil? The two of them are kind of pals...

[Voice]

[bedeviledspider.livejournal.com]

[ Long, long, long pause. ]

R- right, maybe I should ask... Daredevil.
