You don't visit your family.

<Snipped quote by Host>

It is. Provides great mental exercises as well.

@Multifarious

Who said that?

[Legend]

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Oh...
*Frowns*
I had a feeling that this place didn't exactly look ideal for bull riding. Too crowded.

@Galaxy Raider

Not crowded enough if you ask me.

<Snipped quote by Balance>

It isn't just raw strength, then. Mental manipulation?

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

Hello.

@Host

-Ruby- Oh, I'm sure. But we tried resisting all of his manipulation--it just backfired again and again.

<Snipped quote by Balance>

*Waits*
No response yet? What a disappointment.

@Techspert

-Ruby- Strange.
-Soren- She answered quickly enough before. Maybe she's trying to find your dad and tell him, or something.

Maybe there's more to it.

@Balance

Who knows? It could be a number of things.

[Multifarious]

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

What about physical exercise?

@Host

*Chuckles*
That's a given.

[Multifarious]

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

Who said that?

@Techspert

Your family.

[Host]

<Snipped quote by Host>

*Chuckles*
That's a given.

@Multifarious

Some people don't get it.

[Techspert]

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

Your family.

@Multifarious

Is that so?
*Shrugs*

[Galaxy Raider]

<Snipped quote by Galaxy Raider>

Not crowded enough if you ask me.
*The chef comes to the table*

@Legend

*Considers it*
Mm... True.

[Multifarious]

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

Is that so?
*Shrugs*

@Techspert

Yes. Care to explain?

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

Some people don't get it.

@Host

Which is a shame.

[Balance]

<Snipped quote by Balance>

Who knows? It could be a number of things.

@Techspert

-Ruby- It could be. Hopefully she responds soon. It would be nice for them to know that they don't have to worry anymore. *glances at Soren*

-Soren- *a duplicate appears elsewhere and texts Maddie asking her to see if she can sense Melody at her household*

-Maddie- *checks for the presence of Melody*

[Techspert]

@Multifarious

What would you like me to explain?

-Soren- *a duplicate appears elsewhere and texts Maddie asking her to see if she can sense Melody at her household*

-Maddie- *checks for the presence of Melody*

@Balance

They never had to worry in the first place.

[Legend]

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Considers it*
Mm... True.

@Galaxy Raider

*Orders and watches the guy*

[Multifarious]

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

What would you like me to explain?

<Snipped quote by Balance>

They never had to worry in the first place.

@Techspert

You asked why your family would be looking for you, yet you're clearly avoiding them, so you know very well. I'd like you to explain that.

@Multifarious

I've avoided nobody. We just so happen to have missed each other.

[Balance]

-Maddie- *texts Soren* Nothing!
-Soren- *texts back* Check in all the places you survey.
-Maddie- *checks*

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

@Techspert

-Ruby- Oh, you know parents. They worry whether they need to or not.

[Galaxy Raider]

<Snipped quote by Galaxy Raider>

*Orders and watches the guy*

@Legend

*Orders the chicken & lobster and does the same*
So... How did you know those people out there? Or did you even at all, before you talked to them?

[Techspert]

-Maddie- *texts Soren* Nothing!
-Soren- *texts back* Check in all the places you survey.
-Maddie- *checks*

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

@Balance

What a contrived response.

[Multifarious]

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

I've avoided nobody. We just so happen to have missed each other.

@Techspert

But you've made no effort to see them.
