[Annabeth had every intention of making this as normal and casual as possible. But she was already vaguely grumpy (far from even okay yet, really), another friend is potentially gone, and she had to practically throw Percy into the living room to avoid using him as an extra cushion in front of the console. Not that any visual evidence is there, since she opts for audio. Still, her tone is abormally curt and flat and teetering on exhausted.]

So - I've been here over a year now, and I'm pretty sure the number of people who can say the same has dwindled. A lot. I'm just kind of wondering who else is... left. From the very start of this particular wave of the whole "Eshai summoning people" thing. [Wow ok sounding super annoyed at Eshai's general existence right now, too.] Gang wars, attempted executions, all that fun stuff. [y do u sound so blasé about all that.]

[There's a short stretch of silence, and her voice goes even more flat, a carefully constructed neutral.] And if - it's relevant, to people who knew her, I'm fairly certain Doctor Soranik Natu isn't... in Keeliai anymore. [since there's debate over what happens, exactly, to those who disappear, she can't really bring herself say 'went home'.] I had a meeting with her today, and she didn't show, nor was she at her suite. It's really unlike her. That kind of complete disappearance usually means one thing. [Which she's already implied and if you didn't pick up on that too bad!!!]

[And she's done. So uh AWKWARDLY AND ABRUPTLY ENDS THE FEED.]

I was looking at my records for the store this morning, and I realized that it has now been six months since Favrielle nó Eglantine left.

[Alcuin sighs and pushes his hair out of his face, looking rather sad.]

It seems strange to miss her so much when we had never met before my arrival, but it is easier, I think, to have someone who understands where you come from and who shares your values and beliefs. If we had to be in exile, at least we were suffering together.

[A corner of his mouth twists briefly in a wry smile.]

Forgive me, I am not usually so cheerless. But it put me in mind of a poem, one of the most famous of the current day in my land. It was written by a woman who was exiled from Terre d'Ange, but who later returned and became the court poet.

[He clears his throat and recites from memory.]

Beneath the golden balm
Settling on the fields
Evening steals in calm
And farmers count their yields
The bee is in the lavender,
The honey fills the comb,
But here a rain falls never-ending
And I am far from home.


[His voice drops on the last line, becoming quiet and sad, and he hastily ends the broadcast.]

[ Very blankly stated: ]

The Corps is moving its headquarters to WA-1A until further notice. [ a quiet, sharp inhale. It’s taking a lot of will just to remain calm, to say until I disappear too, more like. ] There are currently three active Lanterns in Keeliai and you can contact us there. We’re holding our usual community activities with the locals as per normal, so, if anyone needs a temporary room, or wants to join in, that’s still available.

Please direct your inquiries about the clinic to Mrs. Bianca Reyes.

[ Brief, but highly irritated, tapping on the desk. ]

And if nobody’s heard from them, I guess we have to add Terrence Ward and Rose Tyler to Mr. Wayne’s list.

[ A long pause, and considerably more resigned: ]

Also... after last week, to anyone whose house is now considerably more colourful... I apologise for the graffiti. If you’d prefer it was removed, I’ll do so.

Hi Mr. Sta— Tony. [ Awkward pause. ] Have you got a moment?

[Anyone who saw Tim while he was a speedster will note that he's looking a lot calmer and more relaxed now than he was then. And he is--mostly. But there's a problem, and the problem is clearly visible behind him. And around him. In fact, he's practically neck deep in it.]

May I ask who decided that my apartment needed to be turned into a ball pit?

[He sounds perfectly calm and relaxed, and his face isn't much different. But he is notamused.

Whoever you are, he will have his revenge.]
