[Part of Chris thinks he should've made this post awhile ago, and part of him still doesn't want to. But it's a compromise to do it now, and it's probably the best time for it anyway; the last event is over, and new people haven't arrived yet. It's the calm before the whatever, storm or otherwise.

But he's going with text because even though it's been a little while, he doesn't want to try to say the first part of this post in anything other than text.]

Hey everyone. So I guess I'll start off with the bad news: anyone who were friends with Ashley or Josh should know they aren't here anymore. Also, I'm going to add that if Josh owed you money or favors or whatever else, you're totally out of luck because I'm not honoring them no matter what he might've told you.

[Jokes make this not heartbreaking, right? Definitely.]

Though I guess this is also a good time to mention that if you're working on anything important or even just keeping general notes or something, you might want to consider sending them to a friend every so often. If whatever it is is just on your phone when you disappear, it's pretty much as gone as you are.

So yeah. Back up your data and all that. Even if you don't want to send an electronic copy to someone, at least keep paper notes or something.

[Semi-relatedly...]

If anyone needs help with how to send files or whatever, just let me know. And I'm finishing a program for something else right now, but then I guess I'm taking requests? If there's something you'd like a program on your phone for, I can see if I can figure out how to do it. It's not like I have a whole lot else better to be doing, so feel free and ask even though I can't totally promise I'll be able to do it.

[But still, please ask. Please give him something to do other than miss his friends.]

And okay, last thing I swear, and it's the good part. For everyone who's new here and doesn't know, we have pretty awesome coffee at the bar thanks to Delight. Usually either Emily or I are there to make it, but if we're not just send one of us a message; it's part of the deal with Delight about the coffee to make it, so you're not bothering us or whatever.

So yeah, you might be stuck in a shitty cave, but at least there's coffee. That's something, right?

It uh, wouldn't be cool for me to volunteer people or anything but I can say for sure that there's at least one person who could handle getting my phone up and going, so you've got a good shot with the Vita.

[Though he understands the hesitation. He'd been pretty nervous about his phone, but the risk was worth it and everything turned out okay.]

You might be able to make a deal with Delight or Hope for a charger, though. They're both pretty cool about stuff like that.

But uh, yeah, definitely. It's almost depressing how many people don't have computers or games or whatever where they're from.

[It'd be a sad, sad life without electronics.]

I've been meaning to talk to Delight, but I thought I'd save any requests for something more important. I'm sure whoever this fellow you know is wouldn't mind lending a hand once in a while, would he? I'll just ask nicely, and if he doesn't feel in the mood to try, it's not a big deal.

Yeah, he probably won't mind. I can send him your name and have him message you, if that's cool with you.

[And don't mind the camera moving around; Chris is pulling on his shoes and going to look for the most difficult of the handheld games that are lying around the house.]

Certainly. I'm looking forward to hearing from him.

I'll meet you down at the bar. See you then.
