This is Sabriel. I'll try to keep this brief. [The tone is curt, informal, and a little baffled.] How much did I miss this time? Has anyone learned more about the OTO?

[And then, more to herself-]

I can't believe I was ported out and then in again.

[secondplacescrow]

Well, I haven't heard anything useful.

[bindsthedead]

What about anything useless? [Sometimes something useful could be teased out of the most mundane detail.]

[knaval]

Nothing interesting as far as I can imagine, unless you missed that time loop thing.

[moving on to more important things.]

I missed you! There's a new café opened up I think you'd like, I was worried I was going to have to go alone.

--Sabriel! You're back!

[Blue grins cheerfully into the feed, giving a little wave.] Mmm, let's see, it's been a few months now, huh? Um, lotsa stuff had happened I think, I dunno, I didn't really pay attention to much of it...

[And some of it he flat out doesn't remember, and doesn't want to think about, either. Sorry he's so useless, Sab. He gives a dumb little laugh.] --I've gotten better, though! ..A little.

[darkpants_warmfeeling]

Welcome back, Sabriel. Some of us tried talking to the OTO a little while back. It didn't go so well.

[So much for trying to find a peaceful solution.]

voice

[bindsthedead]

I did miss that, actually. What happened?

And I- I wouldn't mind going with you.

[bindsthedead]

Then I'd be delighted to see what progress you've made- and continue your education.

[bindsthedead]

Let me guess- they insisted all their actions were completely justified and any deaths, however regrettable, served the greater good? [Sabriel's tone is bone-dry.]

Did they let anything slip?

Giant missile was gonna hit Heropa but it got rewound by the... Porter, I think? Every time. Sucked. Died a bunch of times.

When are you free?

voice

[bindsthedead]

Do they know who launched the missile?

Give me an hour and I'll meet you there.

Re: voice

[knaval]

Some idiots on Mars.

[he lights up at that; it's clear in his voice. the co-ordinates are pinged over... it's a cat café.




but goth.]

Re: video

[halloflamer]

Yeah, sure thing!

--Oh, I dunno if you saw, but... Probably, me and Red're gonna go stay at Archie's place from now on. Cuz... his house is kinda empty now.

[That's the nicest way to put it? Sometimes Blue can be tactful.]

I'll be around to visit, though!

Re: voice

[bindsthedead]

The OTO?

[Well, at least Sabriel likes cats?]

video

[bindsthedead]

Good! I'm in house number five in De Chima now.

Re: video

[halloflamer]

--Oh, Red's place! Well... a lot of our stuff is there still, at least- we were only gonna stay here temporarily, after all.

So I guess I'll see you soon, when we officially move over!

[drivesadesk]

Well, there was the time loop thing, so we know they're willing to bomb a city. We tried contacting them, but we didn't get much out of that.

They responded in meme.

It depends on what you remember of your time here. Though others will likely tell you of the temporal anomaly and its effects.

Voice

[namesaquestion]

Hmph. You didn't miss much.

[Not like he can talk...]

[bindsthedead]

Given their previous actions I didn't expect much in terms of respect for life from them.

video;

[bindsthedead]

Riptide mentioned that. And something about a missile?

Voice

[bindsthedead]

Not from what I've heard.

video;

[art_of_war]

Some form of a nuclear device, which I find highly inefficient.

[ Not like that sounds weird or anything. ]

It was problematic that only imPorts were able to recall there was a missile at all.

Voice

[namesaquestion]

Oh, right. You're a police officer. Tch. Most of it was dumb things.

Even the Swear-In was stupid.

Voice

[bindsthedead]

'Being attacked by something' stupid, or 'the government has an odd idea of fun' stupid?

video

[bindsthedead]

All right. I'll make sure to get you a housewarming present!
