Dr. Who and Chameleon Circuit

[Robin]

Ditto! I don't know...Is his wife on GR? Or message one of his friends?? SCARY!

[Khalif]

Guys, guys, guys! Kyle is a GROWN MAN not some teenager that goes and offs himself after one bad day. I say that we just give him some time to cry. Who knows, this could be a whole misunderstanding. Maybe he said that he was having a bad day just to say that he was having one. He probably didn't mean anything by it. Sorry if I sound like a jerk right now, but someone has to be rational.

[Sarah, The Random Nerd]

I don't think his wife is on GR. Uh, I think I'm having an anxiety attack right now, OK, looking for online suicide watch... And, um, yeah, I'll see from there I guess...

[Khalif]

But if you're that worried, then I say that one of you should message him now.

[Robin]

Yeah, I know, Khali, but that's not like Kyle AT ALL. Unless he's been lying to us for a few months. I dunno. And sometimes grownups need help, too. I think he's offline now, though.

[Fran]

I agree with Khali but I think that I'm gonna try to contact one of his friends on GR... Better safe than sorry.

[Sarah, The Random Nerd]

I don't want to make him mad at me, and I'm really scared because I've NEVER seen him act like this.

[Robin]

I'll shoot him a message. He's mad at me all ready 'cause I made a joke about his nephew.

[Sarah, The Random Nerd]

Okay, Robin. *still searching*

[Robin]

Never mind-it says he's not accepting messages.

[Sarah, The Random Nerd]

O_O Right, OK, what now?

[Robin]

I think we sit and worry.

[Sarah, The Random Nerd]

Uh, okay, but um... Do you think we should find a way to put him on suicide watch? I'm not having any luck finding an Internet place, but maybe I can call somewhere and say Kyle Forrester in... I forgot where he lives, but it says on his profile...

[Robin]

I would give it a week. I think his wife should be able to handle this if he's having trouble.

[Sarah, The Random Nerd]

OK. But what if he's having trouble with his wife...? That's the problem; we just don't know...

[Khalif]

Maybe his wife is the reason that he's upset

[Robin]

Then I think his wife could handle it. Or she would get help. I'm assuming his wife is an intelligent person.

[Sarah, The Random Nerd]

Right. Again, I don't want to overreact, but there's that one in a billion chance his wife is truly insane, and... I don't know. I really don't know.

[Khalif]

What i mean is, maybe his wife left him.

[Sarah, The Random Nerd]

Maybe, Khali, I'm thinking similar thoughts. Because why in the world would he try to bring up his problems on the Internet instead of telling his wife?

[Robin]

I don't think so. Have you seen his profile? It's full of pictures of his family. And all of them have comments like "I'm blessed to have such a wonderful family!"

[Sarah, The Random Nerd]

Okay... I'm trying to calm down now. I'll get that message sent and wait a little while to see if he responds, and we'll figure it out from there.

[Robin]

Yeah. Go drink some tea.

[Fran]

True, I was thinking that or maybe he lost his job... I say we give it a week as well. I sent one of his friends, Stacey, a friend request (another this person isn't accepting messages. She looks like she would have one of the highest chances of knowing Kyle personally. When I requested her as a friend I left a message saying that we were worried about Kyle.

[Sarah, The Random Nerd]

Robin wrote: "Yeah. Go drink some tea."

Still mid-anxiety attack, not going to make tea until I send him a message.

[Robin]

Sounds good. But I saw on his profile that someone on one of his groups asked "How was your weekend" and he said "Awful. I was lousy and depressed all weekend" or something, so it must have happened before Saturday.

[Khalif]

guys, Kyle un-joined the group.

[Fran]

Good thing one of us had the sense to friend him.

I'm actually taking it as a good sign that it happened before Saturday. This proves that he's not going to do something drastic in the heat of the moment...

Khalifaziz wrote: "guys, Kyle un-joined the group."

Yeah, I saw.

[Fran]

Yeah but something could've made it worse this week...

[Sarah, The Random Nerd]

True, Frances.

[Robin]

I gotta go on this low note. Bye.

[Sarah, The Random Nerd]

Oh... Bye...

[Fran]

Bye, Robin. Hopefully it'll be good news tomorrow.

[Sarah, The Random Nerd]

He's online right now. I just sent the message...

[Fran]

Okay. Hopefully he'll see it right away. He could be looking at this right now actually...

[Sarah, The Random Nerd]

I think he's talking to some of his GR friends right now. It's scary, he just added a few suicidal quotes to his profile...

[Fran]

Umm that's not good... Shoot. My mom just told me I have to go. She has to do my work at my desk. I might be back in a few minutes though.

[Sarah, The Random Nerd]

Bye Frances. Please come back if you can.

[Fran]

Okay, my mom is on the phone... I'm might go off for a minute unexpectdley but I'll try to get GR on my mom's iPad.

[Sarah, The Random Nerd]

OK. I'm going to have to drop it now, since there's nothing else we can do. I wish all the best for him, but he obviously doesn't want to talk to us, and there is truly nothing else to do.

[Jocelyn]

*positive thoughts*

[Sarah, The Random Nerd]

Positive thoughts are good things... And I just realized that today he made plans for April 1st. *relieved*

[Fran]

That's good. But dangerous. That is April Fool's Day! XD

[Khalif]

well, it looks like he's feeling better. I saw that he got rid of the suicidal stuff on his page. But, I don't think he's coming back.

Let me save you the trouble: "Really? Thank you, Captian Obvious!"

[Fran]

I don't really want him coming back. That might sound harsh but he scared me last night. I just want to know why he did that...

[Khalif]

that isn't a little harsh, it's very harsh. But, I can see your reasoning. I was wondering what a middle aged man would be doing in a chatroom full of teens, most of whom, girls.

[Sarah, The Random Nerd]

What he did last night really wasn't OK. We're young, and he shouldn't have brought that up with us. What did he expect from us, anyway? When we tried to reach out to him, he left the group... I just don't understand. And now he's just commenting normal stuff on a bunch of other groups.

[Robin]

Dude, I feel creeped out. I mean, he was fun, but what the heck was last night about? He knew we were teenagers, so why would he comment so much about it and then refuse our offers of help? He couldn't have just been like, "Oh, yeah, sorry for being a rubbishy creepo last night!" today?!

[Sarah, The Random Nerd]

I KNOW!!! It's so weird. I mean, that totally wasn't like him. Honestly, this is going to sound harsh, but I think it was an attention thing. He didn't even try to talk about what was wrong. I really thought I would hear from him again this morning, when he calmed down, because... I dunno. He was just always happy and upbeat, so this is a total shock to me.
