[ 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?

[That's a whole lot of shit to go on one person's shoulders. For any other person, she'd send her condolences and be done with it, maybe drop by if they were close. And now she has the pleasure of adding to his pain. God, sometimes she feels hurting people is all she'll ever do. She takes a quick deep breath, holding her composure.] Diana's gone, too.

[No more than a second later.] Asking if you're holding up okay is just stupid, so get over here.

audio; same encryption; fight him

[A very, very audible exhale, trying to keep together is hard, he's so glad she's just cutting to the chase.]

Did you manage to get her stuff before they took it?

[ She doesn't have the same enthusiasm as usual, it's toned down to a sort of quiet concern since he seems off, she just doesn't know why. Also, audio out of respect, even though she usually uses video. ]

Hey, what's up?

[A soft sigh. He's been irate since Annabeth's confirmation of what he suspected this morning, and it has nowhere to go.]

Just collating a list of the missing. [A beat.] Sora's gone.

[backinakidflash]

[Oh, ouch. Bart's at a loss for nice things to say that don't sound cliche or lame. Kyle probably needs time to mope.

Too much moping is unhealthy though.

With a faint smile, Bart opts for a tiny joke.]

If you're still feeling artistic, I volunteer Tim's place.

[Cheer up, space ranger.]

[imaginate]

[At the other end of the feed, he smiles, very slightly.]

Anything specific, or should I just go wild?

[backwordscompatible]

[Well...shoot.]

Something tells me this is one problem even ice cream can't fix.

[imaginate]

[Almost makes a joke about enchanting it, and thinks better of it.]

No, but more graffiti probably could.

[unetrustworthy]

Do you need help with the moving?

audio

[imaginate]

Sure, if you like. Come by whenever you want.

[tactile_telekinesis]

[Kon is frowning because he thought there was four if you counted other newbie Hal. So that can only mean one has disappeared and given the place had to change, he can maybe guess who. He's also shocked to hear about Rose, he only spoke to her every now and then and had liked her.]

You need help moving anything or in general, you know I'm here to help, right?

[Audio]

[imaginate]

[Kyle is relying on people having seen Annabeth's very suggestive announcement. He doesn't want to explain it all over again.]

There's not much, but if we need a Super, you're first on the list.

[ Oh dear. McCoy doesn't like some of the phraseology in this. ]

I'm workin' a lil' late tonight, but afterward, if you're up for some company... [ And booze, but that goes without saying. ]

[He shouldn't be drinking. He really, really shouldn't.]

Sounds good, I'll see you there.

[parallels]

[Clara doesn't respond to his network post. Instead she rushes over to the bakery and whips a batch of heart-shaped cookies. Cheesy as hell but... maybe it would make him smile.

She leaves them at his front door with a note that says her name on it. If he's up for talking, he can give her a ring. If not, at least he'll know he's on her mind.]

[imaginate]

[He appreciates them - comfort food isn't something he gets often, in Oa's mess hall, and thus there's just a note in her inbox.]

A+, would eat again.

What are you talking about? [ Donna is more than a little alarmed, nto just at what he's saying, but what he's not saying. ] What happened?

What do you mean, if nobody's heard from Rose?

video

[imaginate]

[There's not enough "oh craps" in the world for this. Kyle switches to video and desperately hopes he's the picture of calm.]

Nobody's sure how or why, but people disappear from here sometimes. The apartment's usually empty, there's no sign they were ever here except for the people who knew them, and network records.

[A pause.]

I think Rose is the latest.

[corage]

[Oh look guess who finally is showing his face again... although only to Kyle. Big Hal is still a jerk. :T]

Graffiti?

[imaginate]

[Ohey bro :T]

I was seven years old last week and decided to paint the city red.

... Literally.

[definingfuture]

Kyle. Nice catch.

[He notes the pause and smiles a little.]

You're a nice guy and I have a lot of respect for you. And some day you'll meet someone special.

[He can't tell if Tony's making fun of him or just being Tony or if it's both.]

[It's probably both.]

Uh - thanks?

[even more awkward. Right. He had a thing.]

I have a... bit of a sensitive matter to discuss, do you mind doing it in person?

video; forever laaaaaate

[zinthosmantra]

Kyle?

[ She refrains from asking if her healing services are still required -- down one doctor, the question seemed unintentionally barbed. ]

audio; never late

[imaginate]

Hey, Raven.

[While warm, he sounds tired.]

[video] 13 dys isn't too long for a tag right?

[bludhavenknight]

...I thought the graffiti was nice? [But his smile isn't very big, because Kyle looks so damn tied.]

[video] never late only fun

[imaginate]

[He lifts a shoulder in a half-shrug.]

What'd I draw on your building? A cityscape?
