[ It's approximately 7 AM when this post appears on the network. It's not entirely unusual for Sasha to awaken early in the day; her body is still accustomed to waking up at odd hours in order to stand watch or move deceptively through the land to avoid detection. A number of recent things weighing on her mind rouse her from sleep, too.

A text post it is. 1) It's early and 2) she worries her voice will betray her if she goes with audio. ]

theres a couple of things i need to say. i should have told others who didnt know i had returned that i was ported back in a couple of weeks ago. i am sorry. i know i should have said something.
and i am sorry for not telling anyone who is friends with him sooner that armin arlert has been ported out
i hope you arent mad that it took a while i wasnt sure. i understand if you are though
he hasnt answered my messages in a couple of weeks and he isnt at his place
he left a recording behind too. if you knew him and havent received it ill send you the file link
its a bit long but there are important things he asks of everyone
protecting this world and respecting it. and hes right. this world is very different from ours but theres many wonderful things in it
i know i dont want this world to fall to ruin

[ A couple of minutes later: ]

you know we never got to see california in the end
what are the best sites to visit? i think whenever i go ill take a lot of pictures to show him if he comes back

[ Oh, Sasha. ]

If you need a sight-seeing partner at any point I am totally available.
Or not.
I don't know if you're a company when you're sad kind of person or not. Are you? We could hang out.

[huntergames]

i wouldnt say no to company! i think that would be a great idea
i dont know a lot about that state so it might be best to go with other people

[cupio]

neither have I.
i'm from new york. the sunshine state seems pretty far away from there.
but we can figure it out together.

Thanks for letting everyone know Sasha.

[Just gonna... sidestep what was in the video itself.]

Are you okay? I know it's hard having your people get ported out.

[huntergames]

[ Crashes right into what was in the video. ]

i miss armin and all my other friends
but i will be okay
thank you for asking

[sHIT]

Yeah. I saw it.

I'm going to be cleaning out some of his things later. If you want to come or want me to give you anything just let me know?

[askedtobe]

I've always heard people talk about Venice Beach.

[huntergames]

is that in california too?
armin liked the ocean a lot so i think he woulve liked to have seen that

[askedtobe]

Yeah, it is. I've never been but it's a boardwalk along the beach.

[huntergames]

is that a face?

[huntergames]

is it sideways frowning at me?

[aggressiveapathy]

do we need to cover emotes 101?
:|a

[performance]

I'm sorry. I didn't know him, but it's never easy having friends go home. We don't get to say goodbye here — that's the really hard part, I think.

Are you okay?

[huntergames]

i think so too
armin found a way around it by leaving a video behind but its still a bit surprising

[ However, Sasha is grateful for anything. She's not left to wonder anxiously when it happened or what happened. ]

yes i will be okay thank you

[performance]

That's smart. Maybe more of us should do that.

[ And, so he isn't just a stranger offering awkward sympathy: ]

I haven't seen that much of California since I was a little kid, but I remember thinking San Francisco was cool.

Well... okay, more accurately, I remember being bummed that I wasn't allowed to climb to the top of the Golden Gate Bridge.

[fridgeflower]

I was already telling Jaime that I wish I'd done more to get to know him. If he comes back, I'll have to fix it.

You're alright, right? I didn't want to try to talk a lot about it until you were ready.

[huntergames]

ive known him for three years but it feels like i didnt get to know him all that well
if you know what i mean?
did i wake you up by the way? i made sure i was quiet

1/2

[fridgeflower]

I get you. Maybe he's just a well-guarded sort of person.

You didn't wake me up. I just did. Sometimes I do, and then I sometimes check my phone.

[fridgeflower]

Hot chocolate?
