Well.

[ Here's someone not seen for a while. She looks a little disheveled, but otherwise, whole and hearty. ]

I think I disappeared from here? The date seems to be quite different from what I remember. I've already stopped by and seen that the shelter is still running.

[ The paperwork is a mess, but she'll straighten that out soon enough. ]

On to more important business. I need help at the shelter. Several people would be ideal, but what I need is a head honcho. [ Yes, she just said that. ] There's relatively little money in it, but doing good works is its own reward?

[ To Jackie: ]

Are you still here, Jackie? I'm sorry I disappeared, I just went to sleep and when I woke up an entire month had passed. It's a bit disconcerting, really.

[He's completely flummoxed. People disappear. People don't come back.]

...Brigid?

[bostonhowler]

Yes.

[ She's a little embarrassed. Maybe he's found someone else to date? ]

[jinzhong]

[He's still so confused.]

I didn't think you'd come back. People usually don't. Especially not so soon...

[bostonhowler]

Oh. I -

[ Well, this is awkward. ]

I don't know why I left.

[jinzhong]

Yeah, it's...kind of random.

[And he smiles at her.]

I'm glad you're back.

[bostonhowler]

[ Oh a smile! That's a good thing. Maybe this isn't horrible? ]

I'm glad I'm back too. Perhaps we can get together soon?

[jinzhong]

Y-yeah, of course! Where are you right now?

[purrns]

I guess it's less a welcome to the turtle and more of a welcome back to the turtle, then.

How long have you been away?

Video

[bostonhowler]

If the dates are right.... about a month.

Video

[purrns]

Oh, not too long, then. That's not so bad.

Video

[bostonhowler]

A month is a long time to sleep.

Video

[purrns]

Wait, so your body didn't actually leave?

...

Okay, yeah, I take it back. That's pretty weird.

Video

[bostonhowler]

I don't know if I left? I'm a bit confused, about it all, really.

[commandandcontrol]

There's a shelter now?

[ She could run a shelter. ]

What's involved? Is there a funding structure in place already? Would it be volunteer or paid work?

Video

[bostonhowler]

There is a shelter. It's for Kedan and Foreigner alike.

The position is paid, but it's a rather meager salary.

[commandandcontrol]

If it's enough for room and board, and maybe a few books here and there, that would be enough.

Where is it, I'll come by.

[bostonhowler]

[ Insert directions here. ]

I need someone to help me go through the books, before I say how much the work is worth.

[commandandcontrol]

[ Sonja arrives promptly, and stays outside for a few moments just to admire the place.

She knocks on the door politely. ]

[bostonhowler]

[ One of the Kedan shows her to the office, where Brigid is bent over a book, with a small calculator, going over the books.

She looks up at the tap on the door. ]

Oh! Come in. Come in.

[ Brigid's hair is up in a messy bun, and she's got ink stains on her fingers. ]

Please have a seat. I'm going over the books right now. Was there any questions you had?

[ Elizabeth doesn't know who this is, but she doesn't care. Everyone who seems friendly is worth talking to! ]

Then it's appropriate to say welcome back, isn't it? So... welcome back!

[bostonhowler]

Thank you!

Re: video;

[isochrone]

[ Elizabeth waits, but apparently nothing beyond that is forthcoming. Oh, that's awkward... but she'll soldier on with a smile. ]

Well, my name is Elizabeth. It's very nice to meet you.

Re: video;

[bostonhowler]

I'm Brigid. Are you new here?

Re: video;

[isochrone]

I've been here about a month now, but I still feel very new. This city is enormous, I'm still finding new places every day.

[bostonhowler]

Oh, you must've showed up right after I disappeared. It's very odd coming back and knowing that people arrived and I didn't know about it.

Have you been to the Fire Sector? Their fire fountains are beautiful.
