[The PCD switches on it as drops out of Ryuubi's pocket; he appears to have just woken up, or snapped back into awareness, sitting up with a still-lost and faraway look.

[[I can't remember which name Ryuubi gave Hawke. Was it Gen, or am I mixing him with someone else??]]

Are you well?

Yes. I think. It's -

[He hesitates, then raises a hand and taps the side of his head.]

Not entirely reliable, sometimes.

[Too out of it to get the joke WTF.]

Maybe... shouldn't this device have one? I don't exactly... remember...

What? No, no, no, it's not like that. Adstringendum, right? City? Pocket universe? I'm good! [Why yes he does sound a bit like he's juuuust making sure.]

... I think I've been asleep for a while...

... oh. I didn't wake anybody up, did I? I hope not.

Can't say I rightly know that, unfortunately. Been down n'out for a bit.

[He shakes his head.]
Nah, not here at any rate. I doubt anywhere else too. If they're not up by now they prob'ly don't hear the PCD when they sleep.

[He definitely still does, absolutely, he's not out of that phase of sleeping with one eye open. In fact if he could he would.]

Y'doin' okay though?

Good. Good. I'm glad to hear that. I'd hardly want to be trouble.

[The last thing he wants to do is to worry people. Dreads it, really.]

I'm okay. A little... lost, maybe. It is April, isn't it?

fightingvirtue April 10 2010, 08:39:55 UTC
But if all times are one then - where is the difference? Things echo... how can I remember this place?

[Blink, blink, stare.]

... oh, ancestors. Mr. Hughes. I'm sorry. This is not - never you mind it.

I'm not bothered at all. It doesn't seem like people remember this place when they go home.

It's not the city, but simply - this place. This building. There's just something about it...

Well, maybe I'll recall. And you? How are you holding up?
