Video, backdated to the day of Noelle's disappearance.
[A few hours after the first news of Noelle's disappearance breaks, everyone receives a video message. In the center is a now-familiar bug; Mr. Tenna looks haggard, shaken, and distraught, though he's putting in a valiant effort to stay put together. All the valiant effort in the world doesn't stop the river of grief pouring through, though, as tangible as emotions get. His hands tremble a little as he fidgets them together, unused to not at least having a microphone.
His tone is somber when he speaks.]
H-hello? Is this thing on? Goodness, it's still so hard to- well, nevermind that. [He straightens out, looking serious for once.] We've got an emergency on our hands! Our beloved Noelle Holiday has gone missing! Her last known location was the Pokeclinic at around 6.30am, and has not been seen since! You can recognize her by her- I mean, she's a deer! [He stumbles over his words a little.] Right now, her pelt is dark brown with a creme face and belly, and there's a large yellow flower growing on her head! She's cute as a button and as nice as ice cream, so you can't miss her!
[His lip trembles, and he reaches up in surprise- his eyes are watering, and he hastily blinks them away before continuing.]
If you've seen anyone like this, please report to a nearby guild member! We'll take all the information we can get! We all want to find Noelle as soon as possible, so please, please cooperate to the best of your abilities! Thank you very much! Let's find this deer together!
[He holds a determined pose for a moment, before slumping, sighing heavily. Does he realize he's still recording...?]
Oh... Noelle... where'd you go...? Why'd you have to leave...?
[He sniffles, holding back a sob, before the feed finally cuts out for real.]

... more genuine than their own, probably. Unused to the pearls, they can't quite hide the tangle of guilt and doubt that lingers around their mental presence... but this isn't the time to think about that, either.]
I'm working on it. [whoa what's with that weird reverb effect?? probably not important] ... tell me if you hear anything new.

Kris? I... [he trails off, guilt grief anxiety guilt guilt pouring through the connection by no will of his own. He doesn't even notice that part of those emotions are Kris'.] Of- of course! You can count on your pal, Mr. Ant Tenna! I'll do whatever I can from my end!
