[The feed clicks on to show a teenager with floppy black/brown hair and a nasty looking burn scar on and around his left eye, dressed in red and gold old fashioned-y looking clothes. This may be a familiar face to a few of you still on board because yep, he was here a few months ago and doesn't realize that anything's different.

Or maybe more accurately, he hasn't realized he's been gone for weeks, and he looks kind of ticked off.]

Does anyone know why my room is on a different floor? If this is some kind of flood, it's the stupidest one I've ever been here for, especially after that ridiculous "let's kick the dining hall into open space" thing last week. Is anything else going on? Has anyone seen-

[Wait. Something is definitely not right.

The feed cuts off for a few minutes while he checks the network and tries to put together what's going on here. There are a bunch of unfamiliar faces around here now. A lot of unfamiliar faces. And it definitely wasn't winter last time he checked. And-

Yeah wow what is going on here.

And the feed clicks on again, and the annoyance has taken a turn for the 'kind of freaked out'.]

... How long was I gone for?

Did you think you were asleep? [This leaving the Barge shit is weird.]

[restoringhonor]

I thought I was still here.

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

Did you dream about it? The Barge.

[restoringhonor]

No, it was like... I don't know, it's like no time passed at all.

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

Maybe he wants us to go crazy.

[restoringhonor]

He doesn't want us to go crazy.

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

He doesn't do a good job of keeping anyone sane.

[restoringhonor]

But he's not actively trying to make people lose their minds.

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

You don't know that. Maybe that's what the stupid floods and ports are for. Have you asked?

[restoringhonor]

No. But people are here to get better, not go crazy.

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

Maybe.

[restoringhonor]

Not maybe, it happens.

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

Sometimes.

[restoringhonor]

That's enough.
