011 [Video]
[Lance is clearly back in Hadriel since the video is catching the backdrop of his kitchen, nondescript and standard as always; he really should decorate this place at some point. He's finally done something about his hair though, so although it's still long enough to curl a little it's back under control, if not exactly masterfully styled. He did his best.
But the biggest change after his vacation is that he seems a bit brighter than he has been recently, not as tense and distracted. Things aren't perfect or even really close to truly resolved, but they're better enough that he's making this post.]
Hey, so, I'm back from exploring, and therefore both my actual and metaphorical vacation; this means that if anyone needs any professional advice, or just to talk to someone, I'm available. Especially since the latest event seemed...
['Not great' are the words coming to him, but those aren't particularly professional, so--]
Particularly stressful, to all those involved, for reasons that may be more complicated than usual.
[He also totally stalked all those network posts that happened at the time, and is really glad he missed this event himself. He's keeping in mind the possibility of leaving the city to avoid others in the future if possible, though it's such a simple solution that he's not sure it'll work.]
I'd also like to remind those here, especially new arrivals, that we've recently compiled a list of people willing to teach different skills, and if you'd like to teach something just let me know what. Hopefully we can all stave off boredom and learn something useful at the same time.
[That part addressed, he feels like he should add something else he's been holding off on; it's been awhile, so surely people have noticed by now if they were going to care, but still.]
For anyone unaware, Dr. Brennan disappeared early last month. That means I have her book, if anyone who wanted to read it hasn't had a chance to do so yet.
[Because that's, of course, the biggest issue here. The book.
And, so as not to leave off on a somber note--]
Is there anything important that wasn't on the network that I missed while I was gone?
[Fill him in on stuff, people~]

It isn't something to apologize for; I really appreciate it. The more options the better, considering the alternative.
[Which is, you know. 'Go home and die.']
[Private]
[Kyna's quiet for a moment, not entirely sure what to say. Part of her wants to try to explain how deeply, horrifyingly unfair it feels for him to die the way that he does, or to tell him how amazing she thinks he is, or maybe to admit, selfishly, that she just desperately doesn't want him to die. But she doesn't know how to say any of that, and she's not even sure she should.]
We don't have to talk about it if you don't want to.
[Private]
I appreciate the offer, I just don't... I can't do anything about what happened at home, and that makes it difficult to figure out how to handle it. But having some options, even if I'm conflicted about them, is a good thing. It helps.
[Even though this is all so complicated and just generally a mess. He hesitates a moment, then continues--]
It also helps that I don't have to try to figure it all out alone, so... Thank you.
[For the offer of to go back to her world, and trying to find a way for him to have another option to get home alive, and just generally caring.]
[Private]
You're welcome. Uh... I'm really glad you're here.
[Maybe that's selfish, too, but there it is anyway.]
[Private]
[It isn't selfish, as far as he's concerned; he's one of the people for whom being here really is better for them, as difficult as it can be.]
Um, could you send a message next time you're not busy, for the magic stuff?
