[Beast's voice is meek and quiet, very different from the tone most people would be used to hearing from him by now.]

Have...Have any of you seen a man named Cogsworth? He's...been missing for...some time.

Voice // casually dressed photo accompanying post, yadda yadda, you know the drill.

Perhaps, I'm typically out and about the city. Would you be able to describe him?

[perma-voice]

[tolove-inreturn.livejournal.com]

Portly. Well-groomed. Wears a pocketwatch around his neck.

[keyofthesky]

You... gonna be okay, Beast?

[tolove-inreturn.livejournal.com]

[There's a pitiable growl in response.]

You...

[keyofthesky]

[Clearly nervous]

I... I can try to find him if you want me to...

[tolove-inreturn.livejournal.com]

...Do what you wish.

[keyofthesky]

O...kay?

[You are really worrying him, Beast.]

[Voice]

[beats-in-time.livejournal.com]

What does he look like?

[Voice]

[tolove-inreturn.livejournal.com]

He's a large man with a pocketwatch around his neck. He...always seems to be in a hurry.

[sugaryoptimist.livejournal.com]

Maybe he went home? [She means this in the nicest way possible.]

[tolove-inreturn.livejournal.com]

Went...home?

[sugaryoptimist.livejournal.com]

That's right! Maybe he found a way out?

[tolove-inreturn.livejournal.com]

Then why wouldn't he tell me?!

[sugaryoptimist.livejournal.com]

Um...he might not have had...time? It could've happened suddenly for all we know.

[tolove-inreturn.livejournal.com]

[a gruff, pointed exhalation]

What would you know.

[Voice]

[keep_my_promise]

That girl there might be right, you know. Though he might not have had any choice in the matter.

[Voice]

[tolove-inreturn.livejournal.com]

[a low grumble]

Keep it to yourself.

[Voice]

[keep_my_promise]

I didn't exactly want to believe my friends had just vanished without me, either. ...but you might have to consider it.

[Voice]

[tolove-inreturn.livejournal.com]

You've...had this happen too?

[Voice]

[keep_my_promise]

Yeah. A bunch of my friends... Jade, Asch, Anise, Natalia... Tear... They all just vanished.

[Voice]

[beautiful-tale.livejournal.com]

As the others have already mentioned, he very likely was taken back to your home world. As one of your most loyal servants, I know nothing less would have taken him away from you.

[Voice]

[tolove-inreturn.livejournal.com]

Belle...

You're...You're right.

[Voice]

[beautiful-tale.livejournal.com]

There is some good from this, though. He's safe now. And this should give the rest of us hope that we'll find a way to join him soon.

[Voice]

[tolove-inreturn.livejournal.com]

But...

[Voice]

[beautiful-tale.livejournal.com]

I know you'll see him again. And when you do, you can tell him all about everything he missed while he wasn't with you.
