[Costigan runs a hand through his hair, looking at some paperwork on his desk. Then he looks up at the console, clearly distracted.]

For those unfamiliar, Catty Turner and Vanessa Cleveland started an Outreach Program to try to combat the spread of the drug Dust. With the two of them leaving, I, uh.. I'm funding it. It's going to be a Rehab Center, for any kind of addiction, stress relief, anything. Kedan or foreigner.

We need more people. If you're willing to do some kind of.. therapy b- [He cuts himself off before he calls it bullshit.] -business or- or relaxation, training, I don't know. [An exasperated sigh.] You know what I mean.

If you want help of any kind- you have an addiction or want to talk to someone, let me know. I don't fuck around with confidentiality. You want to be involved, wanting help or giving it, you don't fuckin' share what happens and neither will I.

It's Billy Costigan, by the way.

[ooc: Anyone interested in their character being involved in ANY way, please check out this post for more details.]

Their files say you were involved in this place. I'd appreciate if you would stick around, but you'll have to tell me what you do and tell me if confidentiality is going to be a problem for you.

You serious about managing this place?

I was going to say deadly serious, bt that would have been in poor taste. [He's not looking the best, though. Family matters and all that. But he looks determined.]

I want to manage this place. I think I can do a lot of good here, and we can keep it open if we have people who want to help, and others who have money. Or both, anything. [He smiles.] I want this.

We should grab a drink and talk. If I like you, I make you manager and that's that. I don't micromanage, I don't ask you to keep me updated unless you need something, but I'll always be available if you do and I'll make sure the place stays open and gets the help it needs.

That sound fair to you?

[video; encrypted 97%]

[bludhavenknight]

Sounds fair to me. I know I can sway your vote my way over a drink or two and some talk. [He grins.] But really, sounds good. We're already doing good, we just... need to keep doing it, honestly.

I don't want that to stop.

Drinks tomorrow?

[bludhavenknight]

Sure. Brazen Turtle work for you, or do you have a better bar somewhere?

[ She misses Catty and Vanessa, too, and the paintings are still in her suite, good thing she has no reason to part with them, with her dad staying there most of the time. ]

[ This, though... ]

Um. Hi, my name is Cassie. Do you think... there are people there who can use talking with somebody their age? I mean, if they're my age, obviously.

[ Because she does know very well how hard it can be, sometimes, talking to adults. ]

[lostundercover]

Sure, yeah. How old are you?

[ Cassie opens her moth to say 'Sixteen. In June.' but then remembers that she might, possibly, disappear before that, and that means she never will turn sixteen, and so she answers, even more subdued, ]

I'm fifteen.

No offense, kid, but you might be a little too young.

[ It's good to see Costiagn pulling this together and, shelving his own inner turmoil for the moment, Jack gives the man a slightly weary smile on the feed. ]

You'll do a good job, Billy.

[Costigan's hands still and he gives an actual pause as he looks at his friend. He can't bring himself to say thanks for what feels like undeserved praise.]

I'll be happy if I can keep it open.

Sometimes that's all the reason you need.

[ He ran the fishing shop in Finnick's stead not because he liked the work or even because he's invested money in it but because it was how he remembered his friend. And the welcome center was an evolution of the committee Pepper had organized and he missed her terribly. ]

[Costigan gives a nod.]

Thanks, guy.

[whitelotustile]

I have offered to provide some tea and conversation. I also have been learning some of the local board games.

[lostundercover]

[Costigan glances down and flicks through a few pages.]

Iroh, right? I remember talking to you. You're on the list, guy, thanks.

[whitelotustile]

Yes, that's right.

Is confidentiality going to be a problem for you?

[burnseternal]

I am well versed in the art of meditation. I have not worked with addiction before, but I am no stranger to emotional turmoil, and if you would have my help, I would be happy to provide it.

[lostundercover]

Sure, yeah. I'd appreciate the help. What's your name?

[burnseternal]

Think nothing of it.

[He slowly inclines his head towards the screen in greeting.] I am Saint Walker.

I'm still available, and I'm fairly certain you know what I do.

[haha no he doesn't]

[video; encrypted 97%]

[lostundercover]

I know you're a shrink. You'll have to elaborate for me.

And I'm assuming confidentiality won't be a problem for you. Is that right?

[myownbestfriend]

Oh, I'm very good with other people's secrets. It goes with the territory. [of being a telepath] Though of course I'll comply with court orders or the dictates of my conscience.

[Her willingness to comply with court orders is open to question, actually.]

I'm a licensed [sex] therapist, but my preferred modality is... [her lips twitch in an unidentifiable expression] ...unconventional.

[Costigan frowns very seriously.] You sound like Hannibal.

Care to elaborate?
