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.

Comments

[ She'll pretend like 'Switzerland' has any kind of meaning to her. ]

Is that a rhetorical comment, or like do you literally mean the Kedan just like camouflage into the streets so you can't see them?

[bostonhowler]

It's not rhetorical. It's more...

[ She fumbles for the word. ]

It's not literal either. But people don't pay attention to the homeless unless they are one of them, or they've had their eyes open.

[commandandcontrol]

I think you're going for 'figurative.' A metaphor. Which is a rhetorical device.

Don't worry, I got it.

[ Maybe she'd see them now if she looked, who knows. ]

So how is it funded?

[bostonhowler]

I'm well aware. I just fumble with words now and again.

[ Brigid huffs and tucks hair behind her ear. ]

We're funded on donations, completely. I barely take a salary, so that we can make ends meet. I'm still straightening out the books from the month I was gone.

[commandandcontrol]

Oh? Where did you go?

Can I take a look at the books?

[bostonhowler]

I don't know where I went. I went to sleep, woke up and a month had passed. It's very frustrating.

And of course. They're just rather scattered right now.

[ Brigid waves to a pile on the edge of her desk. ]

[commandandcontrol]

[ Sonja pokes at one thing, but she really can't get her head on this until she's got these all organized, so she sets herself towards that task. ]
