[Sabriel's sitting straight up as she makes this post- while she's still unnaturally pale, it's more her normal complexion, and she's no longer drained of energy.]

If anyone requires additional healing, or help purging the remnants of the poison, I'm willing to offer my services.

I'm also looking for a roommate who doesn't mind large amounts of magic and some... unusual pets.

[Locked to RISE]

Is there aspect of the attack I should be investigating? I'd offer to speak with the dead, but under the circumstances... I don't think there's anything to be learned from them, beyond what they were hallucinating when they died.

Also, I- noticed something about Lucifer at the swear-in. Or rather, that dog he had with him.

[Locked to Harry Hart]

I think I need to commission another suit from you.

[Locked to her students]

Are all of you well and safe?

I want to remind you that healing spells can purge poisons and other drugs from the body, if used correctly. If any of you want further instruction in this, or spells more suited to incapacitation or battle- I'm willing to teach you.

Guess we held up our bets, huh?

[Hi Sabriel, guess who's stuck in bed recovering from the effects of the swear-in. Don't mind the massive bruising on his neck and face, or the burns on his arms.]

Kaneda!

We did, but- are you going to be all right? [Seriously how many people did you fight, Kaneda.]

[There's a hand wave, dismissing her worry. Honestly, this is the best he's felt since then--but...he also went through three healers to get to this point. Best not to mention that part...]

Don't worry, I asked for it.

[No really, he did.]

Bruises are the easy part!

Well, if you say so. Just make sure to recover before you get into another fight, or I'll hand you off to some of my students as healing practice.

[There's a helpless shrug, smiling a she leans back into his pillow.]

I don't think Charlie would have it any other way.

You're looking better from the last time we met, though. Got it all out of your system?

[The toxin, that is.]

I was lucky- I didn't breath much in, before I got the mask on. But I'm fine, really.

[He seems to relax at that, glad she's not having to deal with that recovery at the very least.]

Gassing a swear-in.

Ken said something about these things being targets for attacks.

[Ken. Now that's a sore subject--but he'll fight that back for now.]

Yes. By the Soviets, before my arrival here- and by the Hornets, at my first swear-in.

It's one of the only times most imPorts are in the same place.

Why keep holding them like this if it's just a target, you know?

Seems like they'd think of another method.

To highlight imPort cooperation with the government, most likely.

Honestly, I think it might make more sense to hold them in the same place each time- security would be easier to manage.

Depends on who's doing the security.

[It's mumbled, a bit darkly.]

If it's been happening a lot, maybe it's not the place that's the problem, you know?

Probably RISE, and some volunteers.

Well, we've been able to go a few months in a row without incident before. Perhaps this is just bad luck.

Well, I trust you, you're part of that RISE thing.

[There's just the whole everything else.]

Luck...you think so?

[His hand reaches towards his nightstand, holding a coin in his palm and pushing it around.]

That and deliberate malice on the part of whoever's responsible. But two swear-ins having incidents in a row was probably a coincidence. [She hopes so, at least.]

They're not really connected, I guess. So you've got a point.

Still, don't see how the turnout rate is so high despite that, you know?

Well, there's free food and entertainment. Who doesn't like a good party, even if there's a risk of violent lunatics ruining everything.

...

Well, can't fault em there. That's how I always show up.

[And it gets a laugh out of him.]

They're good at this.
