[ the feed comes on to show a boy with very tall hair and a much shorter girl with scratches on her face over her eye, one looking rather cheerful and the other less so. ]

Hi hi hi everyone, I have an important question. [ he holds up a finger, tilts his head as if a thought had just occurred to him. he's so preoccupied he was going to launch himself into his spiel without even introducing himself. ] I'm being rude. I am Henry Cheng, and we were wondering —

[ the not so tall and in fact very short girl interrupts. ] We're looking for someone we know! [ she pulls a little face, looking over at Mr. Henry Cheng. ] A few people, actually. [ okay, maybe that was a little rude. she murmurs something unintelligible and takes a step back. please, proceed. ]

And that was my lovely friend Blue. [ he gestures with a flourish toward her, shoots her a wink, absolutely unbothered by the interruption or her outburst. ] As she said, we are looking for someone. Multiple someones. I'm sure this place has a list of sorts, yes? A quick way to CTRL-F a friend's name and find out their status?

[ he looks a bit more serious, then, like underneath the cheerfulness he's exhausted. his next words are very earnest. ]

We would appreciate any info. Thank you.

[ in the background, Blue begins tromping away, shedding dead leaves for some reason, and can be vaguely heard to say 'maybe we should've mentioned Gansey by name' before the video ends. ]

[ Blue's expression sobers a little, though not so much as to suck all the oxygen from the room. Adam's grown, yes, but Blue has a very vivid image in her mind, a very, very clear picture of... okay, not going there. She can get into verbal fisticuffs with Ronan and not drag Adam into it, she thinks. ]

That's very manly, yes. I'll be sure to send you smoke signals.

Or just use my phone, I guess.

They're handy.

[ He hated being given one at first, but knowing that everyone ends up with a free phone had helped him quickly get over that. And it's better for him, knowing he can find his friends at any given moment if he has to. ]

So yeah, if you need to throw down use that. Smoke means fire and I don't think you two need anything more volatile added into the mix.

[ He's teasing, mostly. ]

[oceiteres]

[ Blue protests the general level of accessibility it gives everyone with regard to contacting her, but she loves the idea that her friends can do so, so it's kind of a mixed bag. ]

You think we're going to seriously hurt each other one of these days or something?

[ She is teasing. ] He wouldn't. He's too nice. [ Blue Sargent is brutal. ]

[aberth]

[ Adam laughs without meaning to, if Ronan could hear them then they'd both be in a serious amount of trouble. ]

Yeah.

[ Because he is, sometimes, he is nice. ] I think he just doesn't want anyone to know about his soft, squishy center.

[ Good! Blue wants to get into trouble with Ronan, in defiance of his disapproval of Henry. Which is just not on. ]

Well, he covered it up with enough tattoos and carrion birds and muscle cars, didn't he? [ Too bad the tattoo is a beautiful work of art, the carrion bird is a pet he hand-raised from infancy, and the muscle car is a memory of his late father and clearly holds immense sentimental value to him. ]
