_{Anigma Fluxx - Strange Auditorium}

"...less competent..."

Had Zionne been in a normal situation, she would have bristled at being called less competent. However, the situation they were in was anything but normal and even though she thought of herself as being a fairly smart individual, perhaps she wasn't. She pushed the thoughts away and focused on the rest of what the pixelated man was saying. Logic dictated that it was in her best interest to keep the information they were being given in mind and heed his instructions. If Mister Reid was to be trusted was another thing entirely though there was really no time to argue his merits and demerits. There was no choice but to trust him.

Nothing was making any sense yet Zionne's brain began processing what small information was made available, her mind straining to grasp at what was presented as facts. Here was Anigma Fluxx according to the man in the TV. It wasn't earth. Though the things around them wasn't entirely alien looking, the place definitely didn't look like anywhere she'd been to. Were they in a different dimension? A different world? An alternate reality? It felt like she was somehow transported into that strange TV series her godfather was so fond of... The Twilight Zone.

Planned and by accident. What did that mean? How can something be planned and at the same time be an accident? Her mind immediately translated it into something that was easy for her to understand. It was like saying that a woman planned on getting pregnant and at the same time accidentally conceived. Huh. When she put it that way...It was still confusing yet somehow, it strangely made some sort of sense.

The sizzle and spark that rippled through the television towers was enough to push everything that was running through Zionne's mind aside and pump adrenalin into her system. Her eyes immediately fell on the brightly colored VHS tape as it clattered on the floor, recognizing the casette thanks to her godfather's hobby of keeping what she liked to call "outdated, ancient things." From her vantage point, she could make out the words "Eat Me" printed on the artifact, the smaller words beneath it unreadable. She had no idea what it contained but her first instinct was to grab it. Playing it might give them more clues on where they were and why there were in this place. With that intent, she took a step forward, her foot suddenly slipping. Catching herself before she fell, she looked down and noted that the floor had somehow started leaking water. It was almost at that exact time when the electricity snapped back on, filling the auditorium with noise from strange, chaotic tv shows. She immediately looked around them, worry etched on her face. Electrical cords and wires strewn about and dangling above water was bad news. Very, very bad news. It would only take one spark to--

As if taking a cue from her mind, purple electricity sparked across the room. Zionne cursed under her breath. Electrocution was definitely not the way she wanted to go and she doubted that her companion would want the same fate. She quickly looked around, her eyes falling on the stage, on the ladder, at the scaffolding and at the door. Her survival instincts immediately chose the door. It was the closest and the most logical choice. The best way not to be fried alive was to get as far away as they could from the fatal water-electricity pair.

As Sarah rushed forward, so did Zionne. She sidestepped a live wire and scooped up the VHS, hugging it to her chest as she avoided an arc of electricity that almost shocked her had she not ducked. She looked at Sarah who was running towards her. "Come on, this way! The door's not that far!" she yelled over the cacophony.

Fog [Full]

I'd like to post another reply since Emma interacted with Allegra but I thought it better to wait for others to post first...

Fog [Full]

---

Allegra looked at the people who began talking. She could hear them but her mind refused to comprehend what they were saying. Extremely worried for her friend, she slipped into some sort of trance-like state, playing what she heard over and over in her head. She tried to piece together what could have happened from the little that she heard, Eva's scream frightening her the most. Outwardly, the only action she did was glancing down every few seconds at the phone she held in her hand, hoping that her friend would call her or send a message.

It wasn't until someone made a move to go out that she snapped out of her trance like state. She extended her hand, the word "no" forming on her lips but several people beat her to it. She dropped her hand and watched silently as her neighbors argued the logic of keeping the door shut. She agreed though some part of her still wanted to go out and try to find Eva.

But if she's already dead...

No, no. I can't think about this... must not think about this. Eva will be all right.

She pushed the possibility to the back of her mind and convinced herself that help would somehow come for her friend.

"M-my friend was out there when all this started," came her shaky voice. She cleared her throat and tried to steady herself before continuing. She figured that it would be best to speak out what small information she had with the people she was living with rather than keep worrying about it herself. It may somehow be of some use. "She was on her way here when the fog started to get really thick. She said traffic wasn't moving. She couldn't see if there was some sort of accident or anything but we heard screaming. She sounded terrified. And then the glass shattered... I-I don't know if it was Eva's window or her windshield but all I heard was her scream after..." Allegra bit her lip. She took a long, deep breath before she continued. "I tried calling 911 but I couldn't get through to them."

She glanced down at her phone. Nothing.

Highway 37, By the Pembina River}

Zionne let out a deep sigh. She had been sitting in her car parked beside the Pembina River for over an hour, trying to muster up the courage to drive all the way to Caulder's Hollow. It had been easy to agree to her father's request. Pass by Caulder's Hollow, go to Peter's house, pick up the painting and then go on her merry way. It sounded so simple but it was anything but. If it were, she would have done it already and would have been on her way to Michigan hours ago. She stared at her hands gripping the steering wheel, her knuckles white from the effort. Though it had already been two years since her godfather disappeared, the pain and shock that she felt was as strong as it had been when her parents first told her of his disappearance. The familiar unanswered questions surfaced in her mind. Where was he? Where did he go? Why did he go? Why so suddenly? Was he coming back?

She thought back to her godfather's last email. She had just told him that she was coming over to visit and he had been so excited about it. He asked so many questions about what she wanted to eat and what she wanted to do during her visit and for a brief moment, it felt as thought the old man was his old cheerful self again, back when Rose was still alive. She laughed bitterly. There was no excitement now, no happiness, no cheerfulness. All that was left were bitter thoughts of how the man she thought of as her second father would just up and leave without saying anything.

Did she still want to know where he went? Would she even care to find out? Would it even matter anymore? Maybe he left some clues to his whereabouts and all she needed to do was to look for it. Maybe he was waiting for her to find those clues and find him. Or maybe all of these thing were better left alone.

With a firm shake of her head, she reached for the ignition of her car, deciding that it was better for her not to go digging into something that she might end up regretting later on. With determination shining in her eyes, she told herself to just go through the chore her father gave her as fast as she possibly could and then leave without looking back. Two years without any word from her godfather was proof enough that he no longer wanted anything to do with her. Her hand barely touched the car keys when she noticed something shimmering in the corner of her eye. She turned her head and was surprised to see her car door shimmering and pulsating as though it was alive.

She narrowed her eyes, the pulsing of the door seemed like it was following the rhythm of her heart.

Lub dub. Lub dub. Lub dub.

Am I imagining this? She felt her heart quicken its pace and with it, so did the pulsing of the door. It was both disconcerting and mesmerizing. Without thinking, she reached out for the handle and carefully opened the door. As soon as she did, the pulsing stopped. She gasped when a flight of stairs met her gaze instead of the gray concrete of the highway.

"Of course it has to be something like this," she muttered, not particularly bothered by the fact that scenery before her was anything but normal. She looked up the stone steps to the door at the top. It was wide open and she could feel a strong pull towards it. "Story of my life... reach for the top and get to that door and then when I go through it, it'll just be another flight of stairs, another door to reach," she shook her head. "But what the hell," she said, throwing caution in the air and letting that strange sensation pull her. She grabbed her phone, automatically tucked the penlight into her pocket right beside the small swiss army knife that she always carried with her, slammed her car door shut and then began climbing the stairs.

Surprisingly, she got to the top in a matter of seconds. She stared into the door, trying to see what was beyond it but everything was too bright for her to make out anything. For a brief second, she hesitated and looked back down the stairs, contemplating on going back to her car. "Too late," she murmured when she saw that the vehicle was no longer there and replaced with nothing but gray mist. "I guess it's down the rabbit hole for Alice," she chuckled despite herself and wasted no time stepping into the light in the doorway.

---

_{Location: ???}

Zionne blinked as she waited for her vision to adjust from the glare of stepping into the door. As soon as it did, she looked around, a mixture of horror and wonder on her face. She had no idea what to expect from walking through the strange door but the place she stood in now was far from anything she'd ever imagined. It was as if she'd walk into some sort of post apocalyptic scene from a movie. She made a quick survey of her surroundings. She stood in a huge, dilapidated, abandoned hall with light streaming from the cracks overhead and rusted wires hanging haphazardly here and there from broken machineries. Her eyes narrowed as she tried to make sense of the words written on the tattered banner on the walls, quickly dismissing it when it didn't make any sense. She looked up, blinking at what appeared to be several bright moons peeking through the larger cracks in the ceiling. The last time she checked, the night sky only had one moon. Did sitting in the car for a long period of time made her start hallucinating? Exactly how much carbon monoxide did she inhale?

She looked to her right and her eyes fell on an unfamiliar brown haired girl standing a few feet away from her. The girl was slightly taller than her but appeared to be younger. Was she a hallucination too?

"The car wasn't even running..." she murmured to herself as she stepped forward, her attention automatically snapping towards her feet and at the strange consistency of what looked to be normal tiles. "What the--- Do you know where we are?" she asked out loud. She figured it couldn't hurt to ask. Maybe her hallucinating mind may somehow know exactly where she was.

But before she could determine if the girl was indeed a hallucination, one of the television pillars came alive. Her head snapped towards the screen. Though she paid attention to what the blue man labeled "Mr. Reid" was saying, his words barely made any sense. Tyrant's empire? Unicorns? Personal doors? Glass Wind?

Carbon monoxide toxicity may include agitation, confusion, depression, lethargy, impulsiveness, hallucinations, confabulation, distractibility, memory problems... There can also be visual disturbances, syncope and... seizures, Zionne enumerated the symptoms in her head. There really was no other explanations to where she was, what she was seeing and what she was hearing. And she seemed to fit most of what she enumerated: she was confused and agitated back in the car, then came the impulsiveness of getting out of the vehicle and into the bright doorway and then now this place, the girl, the pixelated blue man... What was next? Was she going to faint? Would she go into seizure?

And then a clearer person came into focus on the tv.

“I only have a few minutes before the cameras cut back to me. Sarah, Z, listen to me. Get the fuck out of here. Change your name if you have to.”

"W-what? Did you just... talk to m-- us?" she asked, feeling extremely foolish for talking to the television.

Fog [Full]

---

"No, no, I'm almost there. There's just a bit of traffic jam... I think there was an accident or something. This fog is making it hard to see the road properly."

"Well hurry up and get out of that traffic jam. I made dinner."

"Oh my god. I hope you're not planning on poisoning me with your out-of-this-world culinary skills."

"Oh, haha, very funny. The lasagna actually came out way, way better than the last time you were here. Besides, it has to be the best. This is gonna be our last dinner here before we head to New York."

"Well, then I can't wait. Though, lasagna might be cold by the time I get there. This fog is getting thicker. I can barely see the car in front of me now... This is so... weird... Maybe I should--"

"Is that... someone screaming?"

"I-I don't know. I can't see anything... Wait... W-what is that? What is that? Oh my god, oh my god--"

"Eva? Eva! What is it? What's happening? Wh--- Hello? Hello? Eva?"

Allegra silently stared into the fog in horror, her mind replaying the phone conversation she had earlier with her friend over and over in her head. A strange scream followed by her friend's terrified voice. Then came the sound of shattering glass. Was it Eva's window or maybe her windshield? Did something crash into her car? Eva's terror filled scream before the line went dead was what frightened Allegra the most. Being in the car would have kept her safe. But what if something or someone came in? What happened to her? Was she okay? Was she...

Allegra bit her lip, refusing to even think about it. Eva was okay. She had to be. She tried calling 911 right but all lines were busy even after several tries. She tried calling Eva again but she couldn't get through either. She ran downstairs with her car keys, figuring she might be able to help if she can get to where Eva was but the sight of the thick fog stopped her, the screams and the sounds outside freezing her in place. Her mind scrambled for what else she could do despite knowing that there really was nothing to do. Unless she wanted to be an idiot and walk into something that was obviously stupid to walk into. Alton did and it was obvious he wasn't coming back in.

"We're fucked, aren't we? No one is going to come for us. Not the police. Not the military. Face it; we're already fucking dead no matter what we do.""

The words cut through Allegra's thoughts, the small comfort of thinking that help was on its way to Eva was abruptly stamped out. If no one was coming for them then no one would go and help her friend either. She looked around and finally noticed that there were more people in the apartment complex's lobby now.

Darius Keith, MD
Father
Dr. Darius Keith, commonly reffered to as "Dr. DK", is Ridgeview General Hospital's Ophthalmology Department Head and acting Chief Medical Officer. While he is a doting father to his only daughter, Zionne, he maintains a strict decorum with her while at work and can sometimes seem to be more demanding towards her compared to the other residents in training in his department. He agreed with his wife to allow Zionne to go on a vacation to their log cabin in Michigan and requested for her to pass by Caulder's Hollow to pick up a painting that Peter H. Vaughn meant to gift him before his disappearance. According to him, he last saw his daughter in his office in Ridgeview General Hospital when she got off her 12 hour duty shift.

Celina Keith

According to her, she last saw Zionne when she brought her food during her 12 hour duty shift in Ridgeview General Hospital.

Angelina Lee

STATEMENTS

Darius Keith, MD
Department of Ophthlmology Head, Acting Chief Medical Officer, Ridgeview General Hospital
- “Yes, Zionne is training under me in the Department. Hmm... I believe the last time I saw her was a few days ago, here in my office just after she got off her 12 hour duty shift... Have you found her?”
- “A gray 2021 Chevrolet Blazer LT, yes, that's her car. It was a gift I gave her early this year... You found it where? Abandoned? ...Yes, she was on her way to Caulder's Hollow."
-"Taking a vacation was her mother’s idea. She’s been complaining about frequent headaches lately. That happens
if she’s stressed. She’s probably burned out and I'm partly to blame for it. That's why I readily agreed with my wife’s suggestion. Zionne planned to go for a long drive to Michigan, to our log cabin there. I asked if she could pass by Caulder’s Hollow on her way. A selfish request. My bestfriend, Peter, had a painting he wanted to give me before he disappeared... Pardon me. It still upsets me that he hasn’t been found yet... Anyway, I asked her to pick up the painting. I was expecting that she'd say no. Her godfather's disappearance two years ago devastated her. But she agreed to it. Perhaps she wants closure... or a chance to find out if Peter left any clue of his whereabouts.”
- "Peter and Zionne spent so much time together when I had been too busy building my career. Truth be told, they were probably closer to each other than we were. She was also very close friends with his youngest child... a daughter that sadly passed away. Her death broke Peter and he eventually moved away. We kept in touch but Zionne received more letters from him than I ever did.
- "Is there a connection between her disappearance and Peter's? If it has then there's no one else to blame but me. I sent her there. It's my fault she disappeared."

Celina Keith
Mother
- "Please tell me you've found her... No, no, I haven't heard from her at all. It's been a day and she's never went this long without at least telling me or her father where she is. Even her bestfriends have no idea where she is... Oh, their names? Angelina Lee and Irina Chekhov. Both of them live overseas."
- "I brought her and her father bread and some other pastries when she was on duty. It was her last duty before her road trip to Michigan. Her car was found near Caulder's Hollow? Yes, her father asked her to pass by and pick up a painting Peter wanted to give him. Did anyone see her get out of the car? ...What do you mean nobody noticed her? A girl with blue hair is not difficult to notice... I apologize. It's just that, she's my only child. How can I not be agitated?"
- "Yes, I believe she's honest with me. No, of course, she's never told me everything. Everyone has their secrets to keep. But, no, I don't believe she has any dark secrets she's hiding to herself... No, she's never been depressed. Though she's been having frequent headaches the past few weeks and she hasn't been sleeping so well. Stress induced and work schedule related. We've seen this before when she was still in med school. That's why I suggested he let her go on a vacation. He means to turn her into the best eye surgeon she can be but sometimes he's like a slave driver. And my Zionne never backs out of anything no matter how difficult or challenging. But occasionally, she needs to unwind. And this is one of those times...But not to the point of her disappearing. Please, please find her."

Amelia Perry, RN
Chief Nursing Officer, Ridgeview General Hospital
- "Zionne? Well, she’s hard working and stubborn just like her old man. Always puts the hospital and the patients first. Her father is extra demanding towards her. I see that she sometimes struggles with the expectations but she always rises to the challenge. We all have high expectations that she'd someday sit on the chair her father is sitting on now."
- "That blue hair and facial tattoo though... she might be as brilliant as her father but patients might be turned away by her unusual appearance. Those hands, however... Those hands are no doubt a surgeon's hands."
- “The last time I saw her... Ah, it was a few days ago. She just finished her 12 hour duty shift.... Yes, I heard from her father that she's missing. Well, she did say she was going on a short vacation before she left. Maybe she just took a quick detour. If anyone deserves a break, it’s that girl.”

Ivanna Moore, MD
Fellow Resident in Training
- "She's the golden girl. Even if she slacks off, I'm sure she can get away with it. Her father's Department head AND Acting Chief Medical Officer anyway.
- "Jealous of her? Me? Of course I'm not. Why should I be jealous? She's good, I admit. But I'm better. And just look at how she looks. Blue hair? Couldn't she have placed that tattoo somewhere less conspicuous? Would you want her as your surgeon?"
- “Missing? No, I have no idea where she went. We work together, sure, but I don’t really care to know where she is 24/7. I’m sure she’ll turn up eventually.”

George Hudson
Ridgeview General Hospital Patient
- "A brilliant, brilliant doctor. At first I had my misgivings. Why would they assign a trainee to my case? But, boy, was I proven wrong. Turned out she was Dr. DK's daughter. She never flaunted it, even refused to admit it. Good genes. My eyes are so much better now because of her."
- "Her appearance? Even if she dyed her hair neon yellow, it doesn't matter. Her skills speak louder than her appearance."
- “She’s what? Missing? Hold on, hold on, let me remember the last time I saw her... It was a few days ago... Yes, that’s it, she came over to my room and visited me right before she got off her duty. Told me she’s going on a short vacation to visit family. I told her it’s about time she got some rest and relaxation. She smiled and told me she’d come and check on me as soon as she got back... No, there was nothing strange about her or her behavior. She's always been pleasant even though it's obvious that she sometimes lack sleep.”

Angelina Lee
Bestfriend
NOTE: Interview done through video call
- "She disappeared? What do you mean disappeared? Nobody just disappears into thin air. Was she kidnapped? Have you searched everywhere? Wasn't there any witnesses? ...okay... okay... I'm sorry... I'm calm now. Okay, you can ask me questions now. How long have we been friends? Well, we've been friends since we were kids and even when I moved to China, we remained friends. We even got the same facial tattoo the day before I left. It's supposed to be a promise that Z, Irina and I will remain friends forever. It wasn't hard keeping in touch. We chat everyday on Whatsapp."
- "Describe her...She's loyal, sweet, caring and understanding. Also crazy stubborn. She's the type of person that would keep on trying no matter what until she succeeds... Work? Well, I haven't really seen her in action cause, you know, I moved way before she became a doctor. But from her messages to me, I think while she's stressed with her training, she actually enjoys it."
- "The last time we chatted? It was Saturday night around 9PM... Saturday morning for her, should be around 6AM. She told me she's going on a long drive to their log cabin in Michigan but would be passing through Caulder's Hollow on her way there. She said her father asked her to pick up a painting that Uncle Peter was supposed to give him before he disappeared. It was suprising that she'd agree to do it. She was the most upset when her godfather disappeared. That was the last I heard from her. I called her several times but she never answered any of it... Yeah, sure, I can send you a screenshot of our last conversation." (See Attachment #1)

Irina Chekhov
Bestfriend
NOTE: Interview done through video call
- "So that explains why she wasn't responding to texts or calls anymore... Yes, her parents called me up. And yes, I was in contact with her just before she left her house. It was on Saturday. I think it's around 7AM in LA. It was 5PM here in Moscow. I was busy in a dance rehearsal so I don't know much about the details of the trip. Angie later told me that she was going to the family's log cabin in Michigan and would be passing through Caulder's Hollow to pick up a painting for her dad...a screenshot of our last conversation? Sure. I'll send it over." (see Attachment #2)
- "Uncle Peter? Of course I know him. He's Z's godfather and Uncle DK's bestfriend. We used to hang out a lot at his place when we were kids, or at least until his daughter died. I don't know why she did but we stopped going to his house after that. Z was so upset when he moved away. Just like when Angie and I moved away too. That's why we all have this face tattoos. It's to remind us that no matter how far we are from each other, we'll always be friends. We all got it the day before Angie flew to China. You should have seen our parents' faces when we came home with it. I was grounded for a month."
- "Of course Angie and I didn't try to text her while she was on the road. When Z goes on a long drive, there's no texting until she gets to where she's going. That's how it is for her. I think maybe that's her chance to be alone and think about things. Especially if she's going to Uncle Peter's house in Caulder's Hollow. I can only imagine what's going through her head...if his moving away upset her, his disappearance devastated her. Yeah, Angie and I got so worried that she hadn't contacted any of us after a more than 24 hours. I tried calling her several times just like Angie did but she never picked up. Please find her."

TRAITS & ARTEFACTS

◈ ◈ ◈

ASPIRING:

[+1 SPEED ; -1 BODY] Zionne is on her last year of residency training. She learned the craft mainly from her father and a handful of his colleagues, respected eye surgeons from their own subspecialties. She has developed her own techniques through assisting and observing this group of doctors, making her hands dextrous in performing micro surgeries. She believes that there is more to learn and strives to continue improving herself as a surgeon. However, due to always being in the operating room, she is not at all sporty.

METHODICAL:

[+1 MIND; -1 WILL] Through years of study, she developed a good clinical eye and medical know how through systematic assessment, especially when it comes to her specialization, the eye. However, study and training gave not much leeway for rest and relaxation making her vulnerable to the temptation of vacation and recreation.

FOCUSED:

[+1 COOL ; -1 BODY] Training in microsurgery taught her to focus on nothing else but the task at hand. It honed her to drown out all other external factors that could distract her. Do it fast while doing your best and nothing else matters had always been her motto while in training, making her level headed despite being under pressure. Constant training of the mind, however, left her weak to other worldly temptations.

KNOWN ACQUAINTANCES

Darius Keith, MD
Father
Dr. Darius Keith, commonly reffered to as "Dr. DK", is Ridgeview General Hospital's Ophthalmology Department Head and acting Chief Medical Officer. While he is a doting father to his only daughter, Zionne, he maintains a strict decorum with her while at work and can sometimes seem to be more demanding towards her compared to the other residents in training in his department. He agreed with his wife to allow Zionne to go on a vacation to their log cabin in Michigan and requested for her to pass by Caulder's Hollow to pick up a painting that Peter H. Vaughn meant to gift him before his disappearance. According to him, he last saw his daughter in his office in Ridgeview General Hospital when she got off her 12 hour duty shift.

Celina Keith
Mother
Proprietress of a small, local bakery called Bakeology. Despite having hopes that her only daughter would follow in her footsteps and eventually take over her business, she was nevertheless happy that the young woman took after her father. She frequently visits the hospital to bring her baked goodies to her husband and Zionne. According to her, she last saw Zionne when she brought her food during her 12 hour duty shift in Ridgeview General Hospital.

Angelina Lee
Bestfriend
One of Zionne's bestfriends who moved to China when she was 18. She promised to come back to Los Angeles but eventually decided to stay in China to help her family. She sports the same triple octagon tattoo on her left cheekbone that she got the day before she left Los Angeles, a tribute to her friendship with Zionne and Irina. She is in constant communication with Zionne through Whatsapp until the day she disappeared.

Irina Chekhov
Bestfriend
Irina is one of Zionne's bestfriends who moved back to Russia when she was 21 to pursue her dreams of dancing. Eventually, she got an offer to join the Bolshoi Ballet company and has been living in Russia ever since. She sports the same triple octagon tattoo on her left cheekbone that she got the day before Angelina Lee left for China, a tribute to her friendship with Zionne and Angelina. She is in constant communication with Zionne through Whatsapp until the day she disappeared.

STATEMENTS

Darius Keith, MD
Department of Ophthlmology Head, Acting Chief Medical Officer, Ridgeview General Hospital
- “Yes, Zionne is training under me in the Department. Hmm... I believe the last time I saw her was a few days ago, here in my office just after she got off her 12 hour duty shift... Have you found her?”
- “A gray 2021 Chevrolet Blazer LT, yes, that's her car. It was a gift I gave her early this year... You found it where? Abandoned? ...Yes, she was on her way to Caulder's Hollow."
-"Taking a vacation was her mother’s idea. She’s been complaining about frequent headaches lately. That happens
if she’s stressed. She’s probably burned out and I'm partly to blame for it. That's why I readily agreed with my wife’s suggestion. Zionne planned to go for a long drive to Michigan, to our log cabin there. I asked if she could pass by Caulder’s Hollow on her way. A selfish request. My bestfriend, Peter, had a painting he wanted to give me before he disappeared... Pardon me. It still upsets me that he hasn’t been found yet... Anyway, I asked her to pick up the painting. I was expecting that she'd say no. Her godfather's disappearance two years ago devastated her. But she agreed to it. Perhaps she wants closure... or a chance to find out if Peter left any clue of his whereabouts.”
- "Peter and Zionne spent so much time together when I had been too busy building my career. Truth be told, they were probably closer to each other than we were. She was also very close friends with his youngest child... a daughter that sadly passed away. Her death broke Peter and he eventually moved away. We kept in touch but Zionne received more letters from him than I ever did.
- "Is there a connection between her disappearance and Peter's? If it has then there's no one else to blame but me. I sent her there. It's my fault she disappeared."

Celina Keith
Mother
- "Please tell me you've found her... No, no, I haven't heard from her at all. It's been a day and she's never went this long without at least telling me or her father where she is. Even her bestfriends have no idea where she is... Oh, their names? Angelina Lee and Irina Chekhov. Both of them live overseas."
- "I brought her and her father bread and some other pastries when she was on duty. It was her last duty before her road trip to Michigan. Her car was found near Caulder's Hollow? Yes, her father asked her to pass by and pick up a painting Peter wanted to give him. Did anyone see her get out of the car? ...What do you mean nobody noticed her? A girl with blue hair is not difficult to notice... I apologize. It's just that, she's my only child. How can I not be agitated?"
- "Yes, I believe she's honest with me. No, of course, she's never told me everything. Everyone has their secrets to keep. But, no, I don't believe she has any dark secrets she's hiding to herself... No, she's never been depressed. Though she's been having frequent headaches the past few weeks and she hasn't been sleeping so well. Stress induced and work schedule related. We've seen this before when she was still in med school. That's why I suggested he let her go on a vacation. He means to turn her into the best eye surgeon she can be but sometimes he's like a slave driver. And my Zionne never backs out of anything no matter how difficult or challenging. But occasionally, she needs to unwind. And this is one of those times...But not to the point of her disappearing. Please, please find her."

Amelia Perry, RN
Chief Nursing Officer, Ridgeview General Hospital
- "Zionne? Well, she’s hard working and stubborn just like her old man. Always puts the hospital and the patients first. Her father is extra demanding towards her. I see that she sometimes struggles with the expectations but she always rises to the challenge. We all have high expectations that she'd someday sit on the chair her father is sitting on now."
- "That blue hair and facial tattoo though... she might be as brilliant as her father but patients might be turned away by her unusual appearance. Those hands, however... Those hands are no doubt a surgeon's hands."
- “The last time I saw her... Ah, it was a few days ago. She just finished her 12 hour duty shift.... Yes, I heard from her father that she's missing. Well, she did say she was going on a short vacation before she left. Maybe she just took a quick detour. If anyone deserves a break, it’s that girl.”

Ivanna Moore, MD
Fellow Resident in Training
- "She's the golden girl. Even if she slacks off, I'm sure she can get away with it. Her father's Department head AND Acting Chief Medical Officer anyway.
- "Jealous of her? Me? Of course I'm not. Why should I be jealous? She's good, I admit. But I'm better. And just look at how she looks. Blue hair? Couldn't she have placed that tattoo somewhere less conspicuous? Would you want her as your surgeon?"
- “Missing? No, I have no idea where she went. We work together, sure, but I don’t really care to know where she is 24/7. I’m sure she’ll turn up eventually.”

George Hudson
Ridgeview General Hospital Patient
- "A brilliant, brilliant doctor. At first I had my misgivings. Why would they assign a trainee to my case? But, boy, was I proven wrong. Turned out she was Dr. DK's daughter. She never flaunted it, even refused to admit it. Good genes. My eyes are so much better now because of her."
- "Her appearance? Even if she dyed her hair neon yellow, it doesn't matter. Her skills speak louder than her appearance."
- “She’s what? Missing? Hold on, hold on, let me remember the last time I saw her... It was a few days ago... Yes, that’s it, she came over to my room and visited me right before she got off her duty. Told me she’s going on a short vacation to visit family. I told her it’s about time she got some rest and relaxation. She smiled and told me she’d come and check on me as soon as she got back... No, there was nothing strange about her or her behavior. She's always been pleasant even though it's obvious that she sometimes lack sleep.”

Angelina Lee
Bestfriend
NOTE: Interview done through video call
- "She disappeared? What do you mean disappeared? Nobody just disappears into thin air. Was she kidnapped? Have you searched everywhere? Wasn't there any witnesses? ...okay... okay... I'm sorry... I'm calm now. Okay, you can ask me questions now. How long have we been friends? Well, we've been friends since we were kids and even when I moved to China, we remained friends. We even got the same facial tattoo the day before I left. It's supposed to be a promise that Z, Irina and I will remain friends forever. It wasn't hard keeping in touch. We chat everyday on Whatsapp."
- "Describe her...She's loyal, sweet, caring and understanding. Also crazy stubborn. She's the type of person that would keep on trying no matter what until she succeeds... Work? Well, I haven't really seen her in action cause, you know, I moved way before she became a doctor. But from her messages to me, I think while she's stressed with her training, she actually enjoys it."
- "The last time we chatted? It was Saturday night around 9PM... Saturday morning for her, should be around 6AM. She told me she's going on a long drive to their log cabin in Michigan but would be passing through Caulder's Hollow on her way there. She said her father asked her to pick up a painting that Uncle Peter was supposed to give him before he disappeared. It was suprising that she'd agree to do it. She was the most upset when her godfather disappeared. That was the last I heard from her. I called her several times but she never answered any of it... Yeah, sure, I can send you a screenshot of our last conversation." (See Attachment #1)

Irina Chekhov
Bestfriend
NOTE: Interview done through video call
- "So that explains why she wasn't responding to texts or calls anymore... Yes, her parents called me up. And yes, I was in contact with her just before she left her house. It was on Saturday. I think it's around 7AM in LA. It was 5PM here in Moscow. I was busy in a dance rehearsal so I don't know much about the details of the trip. Angie later told me that she was going to the family's log cabin in Michigan and would be passing through Caulder's Hollow to pick up a painting for her dad...a screenshot of our last conversation? Sure. I'll send it over." (see Attachment #2)
- "Uncle Peter? Of course I know him. He's Z's godfather and Uncle DK's bestfriend. We used to hang out a lot at his place when we were kids, or at least until his daughter died. I don't know why she did but we stopped going to his house after that. Z was so upset when he moved away. Just like when Angie and I moved away too. That's why we all have this face tattoos. It's to remind us that no matter how far we are from each other, we'll always be friends. We all got it the day before Angie flew to China. You should have seen our parents' faces when we came home with it. I was grounded for a month."
- "Of course Angie and I didn't try to text her while she was on the road. When Z goes on a long drive, there's no texting until she gets to where she's going. That's how it is for her. I think maybe that's her chance to be alone and think about things. Especially if she's going to Uncle Peter's house in Caulder's Hollow. I can only imagine what's going through her head...if his moving away upset her, his disappearance devastated her. Yeah, Angie and I got so worried that she hadn't contacted any of us after a more than 24 hours. I tried calling her several times just like Angie did but she never picked up. Please find her."

Zionne’s Stat Sheet

TRAITS & ARTEFACTS

◈ ◈ ◈

ASPIRING:

[+1 SPEED ; -1 BODY] Zionne is on her last year of residency training. She learned the craft mainly from her father and a handful of his colleagues, respected eye surgeons from their own subspecialties. She has developed her own techniques through assisting and observing this group of doctors, making her hands dextrous in performing micro surgeries. She believes that there is more to learn and strives to continue improving herself as a surgeon. However, due to always being in the operating room, she is not at all sporty.

METHODICAL:

[+1 MIND; -1 WILL] Through years of study, she developed a good clinical eye and medical know how through systematic assessment, especially when it comes to her specialization, the eye. However, study and training gave not much leeway for rest and relaxation making her vulnerable to the temptation of vacation and recreation.

FOCUSED:

[+1 COOL ; -1 BODY] Training in microsurgery taught her to focus on nothing else but the task at hand. It honed her to drown out all other external factors that could distract her. Do it fast while doing your best and nothing else matters had always been her motto while in training, making her level headed despite being under pressure. Constant training of the mind, however, left her weak to other worldly temptations.

Allegra

Name

Allegra Lane

Age

24

Place of Residence

Glenview Apartments, 4th Floor, Apartment 405

Personality Traits

Allegra is a daydreamer, always imagining things and coming up with fantastic stories in her head. She is often seen scribbling stories, reading a book or sketching, making her appear aloof and inattentive to anyone and anything around her. Alone, she loves singing and pretending to be characters from the books she have read. She is also naturally doubtful of people, a trait greatly influenced and encouraged by her mother, who, time and again, reminded her not to carelessly trust people around her. She can, however, be friendly when she wants to be, especially towards people she feels comfortable with.

Background

Allegra is the younger of two daughters born to well off, physician parents. Born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, she grew up comfortable with all her needs provided for. The only thing she ever wanted was more time with her busy parents. One good thing about her parents' continuous absence, however, was that she grew close to her sister, Alycia, who was a whole 6 years older than she was.

Expected to follow in their footsteps, Allegra's parents constantly encouraged their two daughters to pursue a career in Medicine. As a result, Allegra already knew basic first aid at a very young age. However, her interest lied somewhere else. Instead of what her parents wanted for her, she dreamt of going into acting and theater. This was disappointing news to her parents and they attempted to sway their youngest daughters to change her mind. The only person who supported her was Alycia.

Alycia decided to follow the path their parents wanted both girls to follow, a huge part of it was to allow Allegra to pursue her own path. Free to pursue her dreams, Allegra eventually left and found herself in Boston. She graduated with a degree in performing and theater arts from Boston University and was just about to leave for New York when the Fog happened.

Other Info

- Slender and of average height, Allegra weighs 120 lbs. and stands 5 feet 4 inches.
- Her choice of clothing is heavily influenced by her moods though she almost always chooses ensembles that are both comfortable and trendy.
- She loves pets and wanted a cat but got too busy to adopt one.
- She seldom talks to her parents but maintained contact with her sister.

Oh, cool. I'll move Allegra then. ^_^
