[This is one of those posts where the person means for it to go out to the network but doesn't know how to filter to a single person. You know the ones. Anyway, have one really annoyed-sounding man, Trench]

Salim! Where the fuck are you, man? Don't tell me you ain't figured out how these fuckin' things work yet.

[There is a short moment of silence] You didn't find him? No, it's fine, we'll just keep lookin'. He's gotta be here somewhere, right? [There is another short silence. Having a mental conversation with his omen here, don't mind him] Fuck, I know we ain't found Rachel yet, either. But Salim... He wouldn't have just fuckin' left without sayin' anything!

[But then uncertainty creeps in. The need for that connection, that friendship, is almost painful. He can't have lost it]

Salim, you fuckin' asshole.


[ooc: Just putting this clip here so people know what Jason sounds like. Tried to pick one that wasn't too spoiler-y]

He... [A short, frustrated noise] He's got short, dark hair. Got a fuckin' metal pole, probably strapped to his back somehow. He's a soldier, but he ain't hostile.

[He can't help flashing back to when he was told this and he ignored it. He really hopes this guy chooses to listen]

Just tell him to turn his fuckin' Omni on when you see him.

[rocinantes]

Metal pole? Interesting choice of weapon.

( maybe they had little to choose from or maybe the metal pole was more than it seemed. he's not asking. )

If he's in the city, he ain't going anywhere, at least. Not like any of us can leave this wonderful place.

[hearuthinking]

[Jason seizes onto that statement eagerly]

We can't leave? You sure?

[rocinantes]

People disappear but you're not going to be able to just mosey on out of here if that's what you're hoping for.

( unless something had drastically changed. )

Kind of stuck.

[hearuthinking]

Disappear to where?

[rocinantes]

Don't know, man. I'd say back where you guys came from but it's never happened to me.

( he's still here and all. )

[hearuthinking]

Okay. That... if that's what happened, that's okay.

[Salim told him they got out, that there was no air support. That means he's going home safe to his son. Jason can live with that]

But I gotta make damn sure he ain't here, first.

[rocinantes]

If he doesn't know this place, could be anywhere.

( not comforting but still. )

Would he gravitate towards people? Buildings that look familiar?

[hearuthinking]

[He thinks about this. Would Salim go toward people? Hard to say]

Maybe we'll check the Lumenarium. That's like a hospital, right? Maybe he's there.

[rocinantes]

Think so. Never been but yeah.

( blood ministers were creepy as hell. )

He injured? Might go there or some apothecaries in town.

[hearuthinking]

Fuck, I don't know! He could be.

[And if he was, it would be Jason's fault. Because he was the shield and he hadn't been there by Salm's side]

[rocinantes]

Calm down, man. You getting worked up ain't gonna help him. Check the hospital first.

( it was familiar across most universes, after all. )

If he's there, he might not be able to reply to this message.

[hearuthinking]

[This guy is right. He's got to get his shit together]

Yeah, I'll head there now.

[rocinantes]

If he's not there, it's not the end of the world.

( so, don't go wrecking the hospital or anything. )

Place is pretty big. He could be anywhere.

[hearuthinking]

That's just fuckin' great. [He's quiet for a moment and sighs]

Yeah, Esfir, I hear ya. [Another silence] Hey, uh, if you see him first, tell him Jason's looking for him.

[rocinantes]

I will.

( amos nods, giving him a little salute. )

Good luck, man.
