Plot post 1: [u][i]The Disappearance[/i][/u]
*It was early morning in the Dojo, about six am. The air was cool and humid, and the sky was cloudy. The grass was covered in morning dew. A few crickets were still chirping but they were drowned out by the calls which started echoing through the Dojo. It was a familiar male voice with a thick Sphirinian accent.. Vorim'Tairn walks through the Dojo, calling out for Sketch.*
[u][b]Skeeeeeetch!!! Wheerrree arrre yooouuu!?!?!? SKEEEEEEEEEEEETCH!!!!![/b][/u]
*He reaches the cardboard box that sits right next to the inside of the entrance and starts banging on the front.*
[u][b]Sapphire come out![/b][/u]
*Sapphire walks out, still wearing her pajamas and yawning. She sounds extremely annoyed as she speaks and swishes her tail impatiently.*
[u]Vorim, I'm tryna sleep. What's the matter?[/u]
[u][b]I can't find Sketch![/b][/u]
[u]What do you mean you can't find Sketch? He's probably off with Leyla or something.[/u]
[u][b]It's Monday. We always stay up on Sunday nights and watch the Dojo together... We're brothers, it's our thing.[/b][/u]
[u]It's Monday? I thought it was Friday...[/u]
[u][b]That's not the point. He never misses it, not even for Leyla.[/b][/u]
[u]You're getting too worked up about this. You already follow him around half the time because you can't just walk up to people and start conversations on your own. I don't believe that it really scares you that much to-[/u]
[u][b]SHUT UP![/b][/u]
*Vorim looks like he's about to cry.*
[u][b]Just help me look for him!!![/b][/u]
[u]Okay, okay. Calm down. Just let me change my clothes.[/u]
*She goes back into the box, slamming the door. He just stands there, looking around with an extremely distressed expression on his face.*
[spoiler]Open![/spoiler]

*Mortar walks up to Vorim, somewhat confused by the yelling* Hey Vorim. What's up?
-
*His posture changes when Mortar wake up. He crosses his arms and looks down. He starts stuttering too.* [u][b]I-I-I can't find Sk-Sketch![/b][/u]
-
*Mortar raises a brow, somewhat concerned* You sure you can't find him? Did you search where he normally is?
-
[u][b]H-He should've been w-with me last night. We s-stay up e-every Sunday night and w-watch the Dojo together. I-It's a brother th-th-thing![/b][/u]
-
Hmm... Maybe he just left
-
[u][b]But he n-never misses i-it![/b][/u]
-
Well... I don't know what to say. Cyan never missed our bi weekly movie night
-
[u][b]Th-There's n-no sign of him a-anywhere![/b][/u]
-
Calm down Vorim. We'll find him
-
[u][b]O-Okay... I-I'm calm.[/b][/u] *He clearly isn't calm.* [u][b]I-I hope Sapphire hurries the h-h#%% up![/b][/u]
-
I hope so too Vorim. *He walks up and places a hand on Vorim's shoulder*
-
*Vorim seems slightly reassured but the Sapphire comes out and sees Mortar.* [u]Oh, don't tell me you believe him, Mortar.[/u]
-
Hey, Sapphire. You know me, I prepare for the worst case scenario. Most Likely the worst case scenario is William.
-
[u]Oh. I almost forgot about him... But he's gone right? But Sketch still has the collar... He won't come back right?[/u]
-
I don't know Sapphire, okay? *He lets out a heavy sigh* Let's just find Sketch
-
[u]Yeah... Let's start looking now... Is there anywhere that you missed Vorim?[/u] *Sapphire sounds legitimately concerned now. Clearly the thought of William returning hadn't occurred to her until Mortar mentioned him.* [u][b]N-No, not in th-the Dojo.[/b][/u] [u]Well, let's go look outside then.[/u] *Sapphire takes Vorim's hand and starts leading him out of the Dojo as if he was a small child.*
-
*Mortar follows, taking out his PST and tapping one of the screens. He puts it close to his mouth and speaks* Hey, Mion. I need you to help us find Sketch. Yeah, he's missing. Maybe it's that guy, I don't know, I was dead through that!
-
*They just continue walking down.* [spoiler]William came back but he was colorless and could turn into black fog. He ended up putting a collar on Sketch that starts choking him if he even thinks about hurting someone. It can only be removed if William dies.[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]I know that. Mortar doesn't know all of it though[/spoiler] *After a moment Mion flies over Mortar, landing on Sapphire's shoulder* Hey. What happened?
-
[u]We can't find Sketch and now Vorim is overly worked up. Now please get off of me.[/u]
-
Fine. *Mion jumps off and flies into the air to look for Sketch*
-
[u]Hold on.[/u] *Both Vorim's and Sapphire's ears perk up.* [u][b]Th-That's shouting... F-From th-the village...[/b][/u]
-
Shouting? Let's go then! *Mortar, without hesitation, starts sprinting towards the village*
-
*Sapphire follows, running faster than Vorim can causing her to basically just start dragging him.*
-
*Eventually they get to the Village to see...*
