[gemma is outside the local theatre, holding her shawl tightly around her shoulders. as she speaks, she begins to walk down the street.]

Has anyone seen Matthew Murdock? He was... supposed to meet me here at the opera, but he never came. I thought he was running late, but obviously, I was incorrect.

[after a few moments of silence she makes a frustrated sound and turns down into an alley. the redhead leans against the wall. her gaze is worried, her brow wrinkled with concern.]

Please, does anyone have information? I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm--worried for him.

[hexappeal]

...I tried calling him. Goes straight to voice mail.

[psychomancy]

[she's walking again]

I know. I thought he might--I thought he might have just turned off his phone on his way here.

permavoice!

[hexappeal]

I don't mean to alarm you, but several other people have been reported as having been ported out.

[psychomancy]

[ALARMED]

But--I just saw him a few hours ago.

[hexappeal]

...when I was ported out, I was laying in bed next to my boyfriend. It happens at strange moments.

[due-punishment.livejournal.com]

[He actually sounds concerned.]

Where was he working last? Did he tell you where he'd be right before the opera?

[psychomancy]

At the office. And I can only assume he was getting ready--he closed the office as usual, and I left at the same time.

[due-punishment.livejournal.com]

He wasn't working any odd cases? Anything out of the ordinary at all?

[psychomancy]

No, not that I know of. Why would it matter?

[due-punishment.livejournal.com]

It matters. He's a good man, but he still represents crooks. Some of them might not always be grateful like they should be.

[radiantly]

Any sign of him yet, Gemma?

permavid.

[psychomancy]

No, not yet. But I'm looking.

[radiantly]

Maybe he had to go back to the office?

[psychomancy]

He would have called me, or something.

[voice]

[superspeeds]

Pointlessly stupid though this might be, he may have simply stood you up.

[voice]

[radiantly]

Pietro!

[voice]

[superspeeds]

It'd be a blessing for her, really. He's a bad influence.

[voice]

[radiantly]

That's a rude thing to say and you know it.

permavid.

[psychomancy]

[NEVER CONSIDERED THAT...]

I...

[permavoice]

[superspeeds]

[OH GEMMA. THAT FACE.]

Well, he's not the most reliable sort.

[psychomancy]

He's reliable when it counts, Pietro.

voice;

[gevurah]

I only met him a day ago on the Network but... he isn't the only one who's been reported missing.

permavid.

[psychomancy]

So I've been told. I just...

permavoice!

[gevurah]

[ and she doesn't believe in coincidences. not like this. ]

What time were you both supposed to meet?

like ten minutes later

[psychomancy]

[neither does gemma. also, she is now gemman. shorter hair, but the same face and boobs. she isn't a pro at this, alright.]

The opera started at seven o'clock. We were going to... get dinner afterwards.
