[So the fighting may be over, but that doesn't mean everything is going to be immediately fine. Finally having the time to really think about everything that's happened, and for everything to sink in, is going to make the next few days and weeks just as much of a challenge for some here as the last have been, if not more so.

But that is, hopefully, something he can help with, if at least a little. And there are new arrivals as well, who not only had to deal with the end of the invasion but also everything that goes along with suddenly finding themselves in an entirely new world, not to mention the sudden setting change too.

So he's trying to look as composed and calm as possible, which is a bit of a struggle since--like pretty much everyone else--he's exhausted and didn't get out of the whole ordeal with the Null entirely unscathed. Compared to some people he definitely fared better, but there's still a pretty obvious bruise across his cheekbone and around his eye; it's not too serious, but the main problem is that it's also not very helpful in looking as professional and put together as he's trying to appear.

Still, he's doing his best, and he lifts his chin a little and takes a deep breath before speaking.]

If anyone is injured, or just in need of somewhere safe to rest, the hot springs and the fire station are both serving as temporary locations for the clinic. Additionally, considering the seriousness and extent of everything that's happened in the last few weeks as well as the arrival of new people, it's worth reiterating that I'm a psychologist and so if anyone wants to talk, whether about recent events or otherwise, I'm available to meet.

[A short pause.]

I'm... Not exactly sure where, since my office doesn't exist anymore, and I probably should've thought about this before making this announcement...

[That would've been good planning, if he weren't so tired and scattered, but okay, refocus--]

But that can be decided on an individual basis. Additionally, if you'd like to respond privately, you can do so.

[And he includes a brief explanation of how to make a conversation private. With all of that out of the way, he'll put a filter on the post himself and add another message.]

[Private to friends and coworkers]

I hope you're all okay, and... If anyone who wants to let me know for sure that they are, that would be great.

[He's worried about everyone. :c]

Yes. And shaving cream in the hand, dunking your hand in a glass of warm water because in theory, it'll make you wet the bed. And that's not counting your usual preteen bitch factor.

[she was forced to in an effort to help her make friends. it failed. miserably]

Do we have any free beds in the clinic?

Kids are definitely creative.

[Preteen Lance was finishing high school and also in his metal phase; he wasn't doing super well on the friends front either.]

I'm not sure, since I haven't been to either of them in awhile, but I think so. Maybe try the fire house location.

[Lance had taken a rest there a few days before.]

[toiletseat_girl]

Yeah. Creative assholes.

[she would love to see pictorial evidence of that]

How far is that from the hot springs?

[lifetothefullest]

[n e v e r]

It isn't that far.

[And insert directions here, so as not to mess up where the fire house actually is.]

[awwww, come on!]

Okay. That's not so bad. Maybe I'll just [yawns] move into the clinic. Wherever we end up putting it. Do we know yet?

[lifetothefullest]

I don't; I think everyone needs some more time to recover before working on anything like that anyway, so I'm not sure when it'll be decided.

[The answer is apparently not long after this post, but he doesn't know that yet.]

We should build it where the old one was. Just as a final "fuck you" to the Null.

[she doesn't know yet, either. but still likes her idea]

I'd be all for that; besides, there's a reason that location was chosen to begin with, since it's close to the arena.

[He likes it too.]

[toiletseat_girl]

And the arena tends to churn out wounded people once a month. Plus, it's easy to find that way. The arena does kind of stand out.

[lifetothefullest]

Yeah, exactly.

[she yawns and stretches]

But I'm warning you guys in advance, I don't know the first thing about how to build a building.

[lifetothefullest]

That's okay, neither do I.

[Although he's not really intending to actually do any of the heavy lifting anyway. The concussion's a great excuse for that.]

But aren't you supposed to be going to take a break?

private video

[toiletseat_girl]

Great. So we'll both be clueless and probably drop hammers on our feet.

[George figures she doesn't have much of a choice in the matter. stupid Reaper metabolism]

Oh, yeah. That was something that was supposed to happen.

[lifetothefullest]

I'm just going to try avoiding picking one up to begin with, since then I can't drop it.

[Flawless logic.]

Yeah, it was. Go; I'll talk to you later.
