031 [text/action for Larry's travel group]
[February 19, early afternoon]
[Larry made a very unfortunate discovery this afternoon when he felt like checking in on what Miles was up to. He was greeted with that error message that no one wanted to hear coming from their friend's line.
Miles was gone.
No. He didn't want this day to come. This wasn't fair. Panicked, he tried to contact Clover to see if Miles had broken his 'Gear or something, despite knowing the difference of error messages quite well. He wasn't about to accept Miles' disappearance so easily. But that ever familiar message came from Clover's line as well.
Clover was gone too.
Now, he wasn't very familiar with Miles and Clover's other friend. Ken, right? But he figured Ken was his final chance. He would know what's up. Maybe something weird was going on at the house, and their 'Gears were acting odd. He was kidding himself. However, he got the same error message as the two before.
They were all gone. That entire house, in one fell swoop. Johto really knew how to bring a guy down just when he was feeling pretty damn happy again.
Shortly after, a shoddily written text appears on the network.]
edgey clover and ken are gone. figured i'd let you guys know. edgey is miles btw.
[February 19, late evening]
[Today was supposed to be a free day to wander around Cianwood, but Larry's friends have likely noticed that he hasn't left his inn room at all. Any questions about it resulted in Larry saying he was fine and he was busy with something, but now that it's late in the evening, it's very obvious that something is wrong.
The poor sap needs some help, guys.]

[ Action ]
He doesn't really want to worry little Pearl, so he beckons her over.]
Yeah, everything's all right Pearl. [His voice is a little hoarse.] I'm not sick, just kinda sad. I found out some stuff today that I didn't wanna find out.
[ Action ]
She sits on the bed and places Abra in her lap. The Pokémon absentmindedly pokes the green egg in Larry's lap. ]
Are you sure...? You're throat sounds kind of sore...
...What did you find out? [ Pearl looks up to him, face filled to the brim with worry. ]
]
[ Action ]
[Yeah, he's pretty transparent at this point. But he will answer Pearl's question. He glances back down to the egg.]
Edgey's gone. One of my other friends disappeared too.
[He pauses again, then looks at Pearl. His expression is almost blank, but there's a hint of utter desperation mixed in there.]
It kinda hit me hard.
