M is for Myg

I went through Myg’s browser history. Recent searches: “occult bookstores,” “hair,” “demonology,” “waxing” . . . Was she working on some new goth look? Doesn’t she know emo is the new goth? Still, I needed to find her, and in right good time, because trouble always seems to find her first.

I checked the results for the cult bookstores and saw she had clicked several, including “Jupiter’s Used and Rare Books,” “Gray Matter,” “Nampa,” and “Fort St. Elmo.”

Then JB IM’d me.

“I think I have a lead. Looks like Myg was Downtown.”

I was staring at the list. Gray Matter had a Downtown address. I told JB.

“Yeah, it’s right off the main intersection here. I’m sending you a tp.”

When I rezzed, I saw Tober was there too, dressed for battle. I wondered if I should have strapped on my Glocks before the jump. It would be just like JB to not warn me ahead of time.

“Aka says she and a couple of friends found Myg being soul-sucked by some ghosts in the subway station,” said Tober. “They drove off the ghosts, but Myg ran off.”

Aka was a smart-looking neko, a variety of blades giving her leather-clad frame an edge that was less than cozy.

“Yes. She bolted as soon as she got some of her strength back,” said Aka. “We looked for her, but she must have tp’d out when the transport system rebooted.” She looked at the ground.

“You don’t think she’s still here? What if she just collapsed?”

“If she was here, we’d know,” Aka said.

“How come your girl didn’t IM you in the first place?” JB sneered. “What’d you do to piss her off so badly? No wait, I know — you were just being you.”

I was gonna come up with a snappy comeback, I really was. But then Sable and Myg IM’d me simultaneously. They were at the hospital. I tp’d out.
