[action..ish] lost: one robot

[vianca]

[Well, it had been about two months. When there was still no stream of words chattering at her through the library, Vianca decided it was time to try one last thing. He had said he was going to go ~find himself~, but honestly what did that even mean when it came to Wheatley? AND SO, a few flyers started to go up around FDC and campus:]





[Maybe you caught the creator hanging some of them up!]

[Vianca frowned slightly, giving it some- a lot- of thought. With someone that spoke as much as Wheatley did, there were a lot of one-sided conversations to ruminate about.

After a long while of contemplating, Vianca shook her head. ]

No... There was not anything that he spoke more of than others that I can recall.

[monotreme_101]

Huh... that makes things a little trickier.

[Knuckles had a penchant for finding things. But even he had to have a starting point.]

I'll try the science wing first. He's a robot, so, maybe he's looking for other tech. If I don't find him there, I'll go and track down Eggman. Because it's most likely Eggman's fault.

[It's usually always Eggman's fault.]

[vianca]

I suppose it shouldn't be ruled out.

[With Wheatley, there were a lot of possibilities that couldn't be ruled out. Including the one that Vianca had been in most denial over, despite the very real chance.]

Though...

[She hugged the pile of posters a little closer to her chest, dropping her gaze elsewhere.]

... He might have just left.

[monotreme_101]

[Aw man. She looked pretty sad - this robot must have meant a lot to her.

Knuckles never really much knew how to deal with sadness. It wasn't something he felt a lot and not being around other people for most of his life left him with the impression that sadness in general was just kind of Way Too Tricky.

Well, he'd fight it on his own terms.]

Hey. Don't give me that! Maybe he did leave. But we don't know that for sure, right? He might just be someplace waiting to be found. I'm good at finding things - I know I let you down with that flower you needed to find and I'm real sorry about that. But if this Robot guy can be found? I'll find him. I'm a Treasure Hunter, after all!

[Robots were not treasure. But the general principles of finding them had to be somewhat the same.]
