[VIDEO -- 10/18]

[Cordelia was called into HQ early that morning, like most of the rangers were. After a large piece of Union came up missing in one night, they were prepped to initiate an immediate response to figure out why, searching various known areas. They had a day to prepare, but instead of gathering her supplies, Cordelia took to the air waves.]

At least two men from my division are missing. Robin and Peter Parker. [She pauses, taking a breath, closes her eyes briefly, and continues.] Robin was last seen last night at his residence, and Peter at the Rangers Headquarters. Neither were present at this morning's check-in.

Divisions 1--my division--4, and 8 will be leaving Union tomorrow morning to begin investigations; 2, 7 and 9 will be staying in Union to act as support to the Seekers, Swords of the Savior and Guard; and divisions 3, 5 and 6 will be on standby and will dispatch as more information becomes available.

Those affected by the disappearances last night, please respond. We are trying to compile an active list of people missing, so that we can better assess the situation. If you know anything about the whereabouts of those missing before their disappearance, please contact us. Thank you.

[ACTION; RANGER HQ -- 10/18]

[In the day she has in Union, Cordelia is scrambling. Obviously deeply affected by her partner's disappearance, she does her best to try to hide it by staying as busy as possible. She can be seen either trying to process Peter's paperwork, working the stables, or preparing supplies for the various search parties.]

[DREAM WORLD -- 10/18-10/31]

[When Cordelia does manage to sleep, her dreams are a bit more erratic than usual. While some do fall under the very mundane--going through routines with a few oddities sprinkled in--this disappearances have triggered a bit of fear in her, drudging up old memories. Stranger still, even if the events and times don't line up, a certain white-haired tactician seems to show up a fair bit.

OOC: Feel free to start a thread, mention whether you want something more normal for the dream log, a bit more traumatic, or if you want me to randomize it.]

[Well this is strange. Is Robin taller? It's very disorienting. Also why is his hair fluttering like this? He is going to stand confused for a bit.]

[For dramatic effect, of course. Also he's in a suit and tails. Why? No one knows. But those tails are definitely fluttering in the wind as well. You know, the wind that it somehow in this closed off parlor room, somehow. It's weird. Everything is a bit over-exaggerated here, even his height. Go big or go home.

If he happens to investigate, he might see a bit of red passing through the halls. Someone with long red hair, perhaps?]

[Oh good a person. Wait is that...]

...Cordelia?

[The woman stops and turns. It is, in fact, Cordelia, and she's in a very fancy dress. ~~Also is she a bit more... filled out than usual?~~ Her face turns a bit pink.]

Robin! You--you aren't supposed to be here yet! I'm sure you know it's bad luck to see each other before, well...

[She turns, smiling cutely.]

But I suppose what is done is done.

[And she turns toward him again, beaming.]

How do I look?

You look wonderful! I wasn't aware you were getting married.

[Oh Robin. Robin, Robin, Robin. What kind of silly question was that? She laughs a little.]

Not just me, Robin.

Who else, then? It seems a fine day for a wedding.

I wonder.

[Is she reaching for his hand?]

[Dawning realization]

Wait but... hang on... I hadn't finished saving for the ring yet... had I?

[Well if you're not going to take her hand, she'll just grab yours.]

I know that, but it's all right. That doesn't matter to me.

Well, I'd hoped to be a bit more prepared, but in the end, so long as it's with you it doesn't matter.

[She blushes a bit, smiling brightly. It isn't as flowery as her usual dreams of him are, and the ring thing is a bit different, but she'll take it. He always was a bit more sensible anyway.]

What did father say when you asked him for my hand?

[Robin's still a bit fuzzy on this, not sure he isn't himself dreaming. His mind is racing trying to recover some kind of memory since obviously he should remember this. Something comes to him, although he's not sure where it was]

Oh, er... he was stern but made me promise to be a good husband.

That sounds like him.

[Safe for now.]

And mother?

[Or not.]

[This one seems to come a lot easier]

I had trouble hearing out of my right ear for a time afterward.

[She looks confused.]

You did? Why is that?

She screamed in excitement. It was a bit loud.

Oh, I see!

[She laughs a bit. Of course, of course.]

I hope that she didn't give you too much trouble about your height. "He seems like a wonderful man, Cordelia, but he could be so much taller."

I didn't realize my height was such an issue.

...

Speaking of which, do I look a bit taller to you than normal?

Really? Usually that is the first thing my mother says to me when you come up in conversation.

[She looks a bit confused.]

Now that you mention it, you do seem a bit taller.

I don't think your mother says that to me, typically. Probably just you.

[He looks a bit more closely]

Yes, this is most curious indeed! I appear to be taller than you, even!

Have you grown a bit? You appear to have grown a bit.

[She doesn't seem skeptical about that. It totally makes sense to dream Cordelia that he would instantaneously grown pretty much overnight.]

I don't exactly remember anything of my past but I feel secure in stating I don't think I've grown in years.

I see.

[This should probably matter, but dream Cordelia doesn't seem to connect the dots, and instead smiles before gently brushing her lips against his.]

That's all right, I like you as you are now. Shorter or taller, it doesn't matter to me.

[Welp. That short-circuited something. Sorry, your Robin is rebooting, please stand by. While waiting, please enjoy this doofy grin]
