The Disappearance of Kevin from Finance

|= Messages ^^[[ Jonathan Floyd (1) ]]^^ ||||= ''Margret Jacobs '' Dear All, As some of you might know, an incident has occurred to our colleague. Mr. Kevin Miller from our finance department was reported missing as of last night. All we know of his last whereabouts is that he took the 21A bus from down the road and got off at Moss Street at 09:23PM. There is no trace of him since that time and location. If anyone knows anything about Kevin’s potential whereabouts, please ping Sandy so she may pass it on to the investigators. For those in office, your cooperation with the investigators is of utmost importance. They will be conducting interviews up until noon, please provide any and all information you have about Kevin. I will be providing updates about Kevin in the this all-staff general channel thoughout the day. Sending my thoughts and blessings out to Kevin’s family and friends. Let’s all stay strong and hope Kevin will be returned to us soon. Sincerely, Margret Jacobs Director of Jenyeric Ltd. she/her |==|

[[But we've spoken to him]] [[That's true]] |==|

=| Messages =||||= Jasmine Diaz 🟢 ^^_________________________________________________________^^ Morning! Did Kelly with the login/payment problems contact you again? Also, how wild is this thing about Kevin? Hope he's doing okay. Did not expect to wake up to an email about a missing colleague. This is absolutely unreal.

[[Jon might turn up with something]] |==|

=| Messages =||||= Jasmine Diaz 🟢 ^^_________________________________________________________^^ (align:"==>")+(box:"=XXXXXXXX")[//Actually, I'll also be looking for Kevin.

=| Messages =||||= Jasmine Diaz 🟢 ^^_________________________________________________________^^ (align:"==>")+(box:"=XXXX")[//Jon might turn up with something//] I'm not confident he's charismatic enough to get anything out of anyone I won't tell Ruth, but he better get back to me by the end of the hour Don't get looped in with his schemes btw [[Can I reassign my cases to you?]] [[I won't...]] |==|

=| Messages =||||= Luke Axford 🟢 ^^_________________________________________________________^^ Morning! Your teammate Jonathan mentioned that there's a case you need some assistance with. I can take a look at it if you've got the invoice number? [[It's about Kevin]] |==|

=| Messages =||||= Willow Roberts 🟢 ^^_________________________________________________________^^ Hi there, Jonathan from customer services notified me of a financial request you're having trouble with? [[Actually, it's about Kevin]] |==|

=| Messages =||||= Luke Axford 🟢 ^^_________________________________________________________^^ (align:"==>")+(box:"=X")[//It's about Kevin//] Oh, well If you happen to know anything about it, please give Sandy a shout [[I was hoping you could tell me more about him?]] [[Are you close with Kevin?]] |==|

=| Messages =||||= Willow Roberts 🟢 ^^_________________________________________________________^^ (align:"==>")+(box:"=X")[//Actually, it's about Kevin//] Was there something you needed him to do for you? I can takeover for now. [[I meant about his disappearance?]] [[Were you close with Kevin?]] |==|

=| Messages =||||= Luke Axford 🟢 ^^_________________________________________________________^^ (align:"==>")+(box:"=XXXXXXXXX")[//I was hoping you could tell me more about him?//] Well, there's not a lot I know about his private life He's real quiet, even during non-work hours Keeps to himself a lot, which I understand. Everyone's got boundaries. Just hope he could've spoken about himself more so that maybe we'd have more to go on I hope he's just... visiting someone out of town and forgot to charge his phone or something [[Does he have family out of town?]] [[Is he forgetful like that?]] |==|

=| Messages =||||= Luke Axford 🟢 ^^_________________________________________________________^^ (align:"==>")+(box:"=X")[//Are you close with Kevin?//] He's a good colleague. Quiet for the most part but cracks a good joke or two sometimes We get drinks sometimes, usually when the suns out for longer It’s a toss up whether he’ll come I think he likes a good hour and a half away or something Genuinely hoping he's just visiting a family out of town or something and his phone died Really hope he gets found soon [[Does he have family out of town?]] [[Is he forgetful like that?]] |==|

=| Messages =||||= Luke Axford 🟢 ^^_________________________________________________________^^ (align:"==>")+(box:"=XXXX")[//Does he have family out of town?//] Doesn't everyone? Kevin probably just took a day off to travel but forgot to actually ask for the day off And didn't charge his phone or something I overheard that his emergency contact couldn't get a call through either, so the phone battery's probably busted. Or the phone's just off. [[Does he turn off his phone often?]] [[Kevin's emergency contact?]] |==|

=| Messages =||||= Luke Axford 🟢 ^^_________________________________________________________^^ (align:"==>")+(box:"=X")[//Is he forgetful like that?//] In my years of working with him, not forgetful Just not very interested in connecting with the rest of the world, would be the best description There's not much difference if his phone is on or not since he's not on any socials But he tends to keep his phone charged since it's a bit of a commute to get home for him. [[Where does he live?]] [[Does he turn off his phone often?]] |==|

=| Messages =||||= Luke Axford 🟢 ^^_________________________________________________________^^ (align:"==>")+(box:"=XXXX")[//Deos he turn off his phone often?//] He's unreachable at 9PM sharp Once tried to call him because an overseas client was looking for him And no one could get through! He's a generation or two older than myself, I think, so he probably sleeps early. [[How old is Kevin?]] |==|

=| Messages =||||= Luke Axford 🟢 ^^_________________________________________________________^^ (align:"==>")+(box:"=X")[//Kevin's emergency contact?//] No clue who it is But it's reassuring to know that at least someone close to him knows about this At the same time, though, a little anxious about that fact that his emergency contact also has no clue where he is And that we can't get through to him [[Does he turn off his phone often?]] |==|

=| Messages ^^[[Jonathan Floyd (2) ]] [[Jasmine Diaz (5)]]^^ =||||= Hi Team, It's been a crazy morning for everyone. Gossip spreads fast and I must remind everyone to keep this incident under the radar. Do not post about this on social media. Kevin's loved ones are stressed enough as it is. Additionally, mental health services are available and accessible by messaging one of our Safety Officers. If you feel you are in need of those services, please do not hesitate to seek them out—they are here for a reason, and they are here for you. Otherwise, please proceed your work day as usual—we will fill that Kevin sized hole in our hearts soon! Despite this heartbreaking news, we must push on. We've got a big backlog on missing payments/payments that didn't go through. This will need to be sorted before EOD. I've been hearing chatter about trying to find Kevin on company time. ''Please do not take matters into you own hands. This incident will be handled by law enforcement.'' If you have any concerns, feel free to send a quick email or a message. Please take care and thank you for your discretion, Ruth |==|

=| Messages =||||= Luke Axford 🟢 ^^_________________________________________________________^^ (align:"==>")+(box:"=X")[//Where does he live?//] Not sure. Again, he’s not one to offer information about himself. Just know that he lives alone. If he has a spouse or partner, I wouldn't know. He doesn't wear a wedding ring, I assume he isn't married. Whoever the police contacted as Kevin's emergency contact probably wouldn't be a romantic connection. [[Kevin's emergency contact?]] |==|

=| Messages =||||= Luke Axford 🟢 ^^_________________________________________________________^^ (align:"==>")+(box:"=X")[//How old is Kevin?//] Probably... fifties?? Maybe sixties? He hasn't aged a day since I started working here, and that was five years ago You know You're asking a lot of questions about Kevin. While I appreciate your concern, I wouldn't dwell on this. I'm sure Kevin's fine. We have a whole investigation team trying to find him. [[And I'm trying to help]] [[This is the most interesting thing that's happened here]] |==|

=| Messages =||||= Luke Axford 🟢 ^^_________________________________________________________^^ (align:"==>")+(box:"=X")[//And I'm trying to help//] I'll be frank with you, I don't think you'll get very far asking me Or anyone in the company Even the officer's here have a better chance asking around his neighbours than at his workplace It's always the neighbours that know something, right ? In those mystery novels? [[Mystery novels?]] |==|

=| Messages =||||= Luke Axford 🟢 ^^_________________________________________________________^^ (align:"==>")+(box:"=XXXXXXXX")[//This is the most interesting thing that's happened here//] Hah! I don't disagree. Knowing Kevin and his elusivity, this could very well feature on a crime podcast. Crime's too strong of a word. Mystery podcast maybe. Pretty sure Kevin was a fan of mystery novels too. [[Mystery novels?]] |==|

=| Messages [[Jonathan Floyd (2)]] =||||= Luke Axford 🟢 ^^_________________________________________________________^^ (align:"==>")+(box:"=X")[//Mystery novels?//] I remember Kevin was reading Sherlock the other day or Poirot. Probably Poirot actually, but I didn't get a good look at the cover As much as I would like to continue this conversation, I do need to get back to work. The backlog is piling up and it's not even noon. Without Kevin, it's one less pair of eyes and hands processing numbers You should too. Take care. |==|

=| Messages =||||= Willow Roberts 🟢 ^^_________________________________________________________^^ (align:"==>")+(box:"=XXXXX")[//I meant about his disappearance?//] I see As I've told the investigators, I have no clue why he would be up and gone the way he did And before you ask if he showed any signs of distress piror to last night, the answer is no. [[Are you aware of any suspicious people around Kevin?]] [[Do you know where he could've went??]] [[Was he easy to get along with?]] |==|

=| Messages =||||= Willow Roberts 🟢 ^^_________________________________________________________^^ (align:"==>")+(box:"=X")[//Were you close with Kevin?//] I'd say so He showed me the ropes when I started working here And back then I had just switched career paths too, so He's a bit of a mentor figure to me Before you interrogate me further, as you so clearly seem to be doing, let me just say that no, I didn't notice any difference in his behaviour prior to last night [[Do you know where he could've went??]] [[Are you aware of any suspicious people around Kevin?]] [[Was he easy to get along with?]] |==|

=| Messages =||||= Willow Roberts 🟢 ^^_________________________________________________________^^ (align:"==>")+(box:"=XXXXXXXXXXXX")[//Are you aware of any suspicious people around Kevin?//] Straight to the point, aren't you? Making me feel like I'm back in the interrogation room I just came out of. But no, I don't think so He doesn't seem the type to be involved with anything shady But then again, I don't really know anything about his life outside of the office Kevin's quite the private type of person Even though he has social media, he's barely posting anything [[He has social media?]] [[Shady?]] |==|

=| Messages =||||= Willow Roberts 🟢 ^^_________________________________________________________^^ (align:"==>")+(box:"=XXXXXXXXX")[//Do you know where he could've went??//] Here's the thing, I've been wracking my brain to try to narrow down where he could possibly be visiting if he's willingly up and dissappeared I mean. He hasn't mentioned wanting a holiday, or visiting anyone or anything He's most excited to go home usually I don't remember him showing any interest in going anywhere outside the city on his socials but he also isn't very active on them [[He has social media?]] |==|

=| Messages =||||= Willow Roberts 🟢 ^^_________________________________________________________^^ (align:"==>")+(box:"=X")[//He has social media?//] Yeah He might be one of the eldest members of the team, but he does have both a twitter and instagram Nothing on his instagram, though [[Would you mind sharing his @?]] |==|

Nature is calling for me to go hiking soon. ''Kevin Miller''@KevinMiller12171 ^^21 February 2017^^ It seems like a pattern that I’m not the fondest of has formed from my newfound habit of eating earlier. The sooner I have dinner, the sooner I’m asleep. ''Kevin Miller''@KevinMiller12171 ^^2 January 2017^^ Tried a new tea today. Have never been a fan of floral blends, but Walsburi’s newest elderflower, jasmine and rose tea is a gateway tea. ''Kevin Miller''@KevinMiller12171 ^^2 December 2016^^ I will never not be baffled by the determination of that punk down the street, revving his engine past midnight every day. We get it, you’re home! Pipe down! ''Kevin Miller''@KevinMiller12171 ^^21 October 2016^^ An unreal, insane, colossal waste of a workday. The temps have their training today, and instead of simply training our new colleagues ( … ) | my entire team also underwent the same training despite having been at the company for ages! The nail in the coffin? (…) | Training was 5hrs & led by our newest colleague. I’ve never experienced a more redundant day at work. ''Kevin Miller'' @KevinMiller12171 ^^21 July 2016^^ The A.B.C.

''Kevin Miller'' @KevinMiller12171 ^^21 March 2016^^ Every time my back cracks a little, I wonder if I should switch to a more active job, rather than sitting in a chair for eight hours a day… ''Kevin Miller'' @KevinMiller12171 ^^21 January 2016^^ Been in bit of a reading slump recently, but picked up an interesting-looking second hand book on the way home. Will post my thoughts soon. ''Kevin Miller'' @KevinMiller12171 ^^21 December 2015^^ That urge to simply venture into the depths of nature is so very appealing after 10 hours at the office… ''Kevin Miller'' @KevinMiller12171 ^^21 October 2015^^ My friend from my bo0kclub shared the most insightful reading of Bleak House. Inspiring how young he is and how deeply he contemplates. ''Kevin Miller'' @KevinMiller12171 ^^21 August 2015^^ While exposing age known on the internet can be embarrassing, and I absolutely hate to say it, but sometimes, the speed of our present is truly wicked. | Pausing time (every 2 business days) would be appreciated just so we all get some time to enjoy and live life, which is what we were made to do ''Kevin Miller'' @KevinMiller12171 ^^21 June 2015^^ Saw kids buying vinyl records on my way to a cafe.

... [[......]] [[Hello?]]

... [[... ...]] [[Hello?]]

... [[... ...]]

"I was wondering if you would be able to figure it out..." [[Hello, Kevin Miller from finance.]]

"I'm glad you could figure this out." [["Come back to work"]] [["People are worried about you"]] [["You've wasted my entire day. I'm going to let Sandy know I've found you."]]

"A bold demand that I will have to politely decline. I will return when I feel like returning, or rather, when you are able to find me." [["I've found you. I'll share this phone number"]] [["Worrying everyone is not polite"]]

"People are worried about me? Who, pray tell, are worried?" [["People..."]] [[Your colleagues, like Willow]] [["Your emergency contact"]]

"I must assume Sandy from human resources is facing the burnt of it all, which was an unavoidable result. I hope I haven't caused her too much trouble. Do tell me how I've wasted your day though? Did you not choose to chase after a mystery willingly? Instead of leaving my disappearance to be solved by professionals, you've spent a good chunk of your day searching for me. How does it feel? The thrill of it?" [["Not good"]] [["I was trying to be a good colleague"]] [["People are worried about you"]]

"Not good? And yet you still didn't give up." [["I was trying to be a good colleague"]] [["Well, you've manufactured this mystery"]]

"How very upstanding of you. And yet, I have to wonder whether you took this upon yourself for the right reasons? Rather, if you're such a good colleague, why was it that you knew nothing about me piror to today?" [["You're not very memorable"]] [["I've found you. I'll share this phone number"]]

"Hm. Very telling that there is no one worrying over me. Perhaps except for you? Although, I have a feeling that you finding me was either a product of coincidence, a demonstration of cleverness or a pursuit of a mystery. It could also very well be all three, but I am most inclined to lean towards the most latter of those options." [["Well, you've manufactured this mystery"]] [["You're hard to approach"]]

"Ah yes, Willow. She's a nice girl, I hate to have worried her. She's got a good head on her shoulders, I'd like to see her be more ambitious. Climb up that corporate ladder. Speaking of which, wasn't she the only one who really cared about me in the office? [["Everyone's worried."]] [["Yes."]]

"Yes, well, my niece should know where I am once she figures things out. But you, on the other hand? I wonder if you're taking a close enough look at everything. What relationship we seem to have, us surface-level colleagues, is a plague upon our world, don't you think? I bet you didn't even know my last name until I took an action as drastic as this. Am I right? Why do you think you, or anyone in our office, had such a difficult time seeking me?" [["Because we're not always in the office"]] [["Because we're in different departments"]] [["Because you're not very memorable"]]

"Everyone, you say? I'm willing to bet you don't even know anything about me. Well, perhaps you know me better now, but if I hadn't taken drastic measures, not many people would have really seen me." [["Because you're not very memorable"]] [["Half of us don't even know you"]] [["I've found you. I'll share this phone number"]]

"I quite like your boldness. In a company with as many employees as we have, a good ten-plus people in my department, why is it that only one person worried about my wellbeing?" [["Everyone was worried"]] [["You're hard to approach"]] [["Half of us don't even know you"]]

"And yet, you have no problem coming to me when you need me to do something for you. We have formally met once, at the all-staff on the second week of January. You do remember seeing me there, don't you?" [["I'm afraid not."]] [["You're not very memorable"]] [["I've found you. I'll share this phone number"]]

"And half of you didn't care to. I've been in this company a long time, and I'm willing to bet half of you don't even know my last name. Why do you think that is?" [["Because we're not always in the office"]] [["Because we're in different departments"]] [["Because you're not very memorable"]]

"Feeble excuse. It's almost like you're unwilling to make choices for yourself? Pushing the blame to something uncontrollable despite having some agency in the situation." [["Both sides are at fault"]] [["Please just stop."]]

"Hah! That's rich. I'm not memorable, you say, then how is it that I can name everyone else in the company? Yes, even the interns that will soon depart and we never hear from again. Can you name those interns? Because I can. So I'll ask you now: who is to blame when someone is not memorable? Who is to blame for not knowing a colleague's name? [["Still yours"]] [["Both sides are at fault"]]

"Hm. Bold words for someone who knows so little about who you are accusing." [["So why don't you share something about yourself'']] [["Please just stop."]]

"Hm. I'm suppose there is some truth in that statement. Well, in this case, I would like to offer you a hint as to how to pursue your search for me, should you rise to the occasion." [["Please just stop."]] [["Okay. I accept."]]

"We're sorry; you have reached a number that has been disconnected or is no longer in service. If you feel you have reached this recording in error, please check the number and try your call again." //Call [[+XX 311 825 5148]]?// //Call [[+XX 431 845 2615]]?//

"You are operating under the understanding that I do not want to be found, but you're very far from the truth. In your investigation into where I may be, have you really understood everything you've come across? Are you really willing to let it end like this?" [["What are you trying to say"]]

"Everyon's worried about me? Who, pray tell, are worried?" [["People..."]] [[Your colleagues, like Willow]] [["Your emergency contact"]]

"Nearly all mysteries are manufactured, aren't they?" [["I've found you. I'll share this phone number"]] [["Half of us don't even know you"]] [["Not like this though"]]

"Honesty is a good virtue to have, and I appreciate your candor. I can't deny that your admission is hurtful, but I am glad you are willing to be open with me. As thanks, I would like to offer you a hint as to how to pursue your search for me, should you rise to the occasion." [["Please just stop."]] [["Okay. I accept."]]

"You seem to think that you've found me. You haven't. You can give this phone number to investigators, and they can try to find me, but you should know that by doing so you would've given up halfway. And you don't seem like a quitter to me. But then again, we don't know each other very well. I wonder why that is?" [["Because we're not always in the office"]] [["Because we're in different departments"]]

"No? What makes my disappearance different from, say, a friend's? I notice you're not informing anyone else about your discovery, or that I'm safe. Or that I've, as you said, 'manufactured this mystery'. Was this not just a thrill to you? Was trying to find me because you don't want to be performing your work duties?" [["What are you trying to say"]] [["I'm afraid not."]]

"If Willow has shared my socials, then you already have everything you need. I would urge you to continue your investigation and not inform Sandy of our communication, but you're a quitter after all. A shame." //[[Call Disconnected ]]//

"Good to hear. In this case, I must ask that you hold off letting Sandy from HR know about our line of communication. Deal?" [["Deal"]]

Additionally, a warm reminder to everyone requesting for a leave day to please complete the form in the drive AND to send it to both your department lead to sign off on it. Please also go complete the online form for this so that Sandy can be made aware of this. That's all, enjoy the rest of your day. Sincerely, Margret Jacobs Director of Jenyeric Ltd. she/her //] //[[The End]]//

Thank you for playing! Hope you enjoyed the journey of finding Kev from finance (who is, at the end of the day, just a weird pretentious little old guy that needs some friends!) As this is my first full game that I've worked on by myself, any and all feedback is welcome in the comments! Special thanks to Magda Barbosa for designing the cover art & Herrick for playtesting.

Dear All,
As some of you might know, an incident has occurred to our colleague. Mr. Kevin Miller from our finance department was reported missing as of last night. All we know of his last whereabouts is that he took the 21A bus from down the road and got off at Moss Street at 09:23PM. There is no trace of him since that time and location. If anyone knows anything about Kevin’s potential whereabouts, please ping Sandy so she may pass it on to the investigators.
For those in office, your cooperation with the investigators is of utmost importance. They will be conducting interviews up until noon, please provide any and all information you have about Kevin.
I will be providing updates about Kevin in the this all-staff general channel thoughout the day.
Sending my thoughts and blessings out to Kevin’s family and friends. Let’s all stay strong and hope Kevin will be returned to us soon.
Sincerely,
Margret Jacobs
Director of Jenyeric Ltd.
