Petey's gone.

I'm okay, I think, but I'll be with Yana most of the day. Warning for vodka-soaked texts and probable tears later, though.

[st_ormchaser]

Oh, I think I remember him a little!

I'm very sorry, K. I will be here for texts and tears.

[st_alksthroughwalls]

Just so long as you stay here, the 'for' part doesn't matter.

[st_ormchaser]

I intend to stay! I fought too hard to get back here to leave again.

If I have any say at all, we go together or not at all.

[st_alksthroughwalls]

That's my working plan, too.

Um, just because I'm texting, don't feel like you can't stop by or anything. Yana and I are going to be drinking and handing out Petey's leftover artwork in the cafe.

I'll probably still drunk-text you because, well, because. But yeah.

[st_ormchaser]

I might want to see if any of the art would look nice in my room. So it's a good thing I'm not barred. (Teasing!)

All texts from you are welcome.

[st_alksthroughwalls]

Bah! Besides, you and Yana need to talk and stuff.

Tell me who else you've met so far and what you think of them. Be honest. It'll entertain me.

[st_ormchaser]

I have a mask I need to hand over for safeguarding in her library, I think.

It's really just Tony Stark so far! I'm fairly sure he doesn't think about what he says before he says it. I'm not one hundred percent convinced he even knows what he's thinking even when words don't come out of his mouth.

Maybe I should wander the halls meeting people and then report on them to you.

[st_alksthroughwalls]

Today is a good day for that. She needs distractions more than condolences.

Oy. Tony. He's actually a lot sweeter than he lets on. And he's a surprisingly good dancer. Also hot for an older dude. Don't tell him I said that.

That would be awesome. Field correspondent Croft with the news on the hour. ;)

[st_ormchaser]

Then I will swing through, mask in hand.

He wasn’t offensive, I just think he doesn’t necessarily see people he’s speaking to, if that makes sense? And this is me saying that!! (Also not my type. Reminds me of Dr. Whitman.)

Will do then!

[st_alksthroughwalls]

Thanks, L.

Totally makes sense. He's what I would be without growing up X and dancing. (Yeah. I mean, not really my type except for me having generally terrible taste in men.)

Oh! You need to meet James. Very British. Very smart. You'll like him.

[st_ormbreaker]

Hey, I heard you left and came back. Can I ask you a few things?

[st_ormchaser]

Sure, I’d be happy to help. Thor, yes? The one who thinks he’s a Norse god?

[st_ormbreaker]

Yes, Thor, Son of Odin.

I've been told you've left and come back. While you were there, did you remember this place?

[st_ormchaser]

I did, actually! And spent a year and a half or so trying to find a way back. (There isn’t one, I’m fairly sure now. I just got lucky.)

[st_ormbreaker]

So there was nothing linking those two events together?

How'd you end up leaving, anyway? Was it as spontaneous as coming?

[st_ormchaser]

Not that I’m aware of. I decided to restore the sun instead of make a wish, but I turned up here anyway. (Long story.)

I just woke up one day where and when I’d left. The worst part was... when I arrived I’d been banged up a bit, you know? So when I went back I unhealed. Not pleasant at all.

[st_ormbreaker]

Restore the sun????

[st_ormchaser]

Long story!

[st_ormbreaker]

So you went back right where you "exited" from?

[st_ormchaser]

To the second, as nearly as I could tell.

[st_ormbreaker]

Interesting. Thank you for your time.

[st_ormchaser]

Glad to help?

[st_ormbreaker]

Let me know if you need anything.
