[ This time, there are no nightmares and no screaming, no malfunctioning PORTAL broadcasting something to an unintended audience. Instead, it's just Ariadne giving everyone a slight smile from beneath her red mask, looking a bit sheepish. ]Hi everyone. I know it's been a few days, but I wanted to make sure everyone was doing all right after this

[A small smile.] Been a shit weekend. [There's marks around his neck, and he doesn't look exactly comfortable.]

[ She matches the smile with one of her own. ] Hey. [ She was worried about him.

And Ariadne nods, looking around her room. It looks just as it did before all of this happened, but she remembers looking at it with fear-hazed eyes, and she sighs. ] You can say that again. [ Those marks around his neck worry her, though, so she redirects. ] You okay?

[He looks away from the camera, unable to look at her. He wasn't good at admitting these sort of things, especially when it came to his family. He's quiet, mostly still.]

Been better.

[ Shit. ]

I'm sorry I couldn't do anything.

[ She wishes she knew how to help. ]

[His eyes flicker back to her.] You had your own hell to deal with. Don't need to be apologizin' to me for somethin' ya couldn't even help.

[oneminutemaze]

Still. I wish I could have done something.

How are you? [Because he really doesn't want to talk about getting the piss beat out of him and having to kill his father half a dozen times.]

I'm okay. Just... wondering where Arthur got off to. [ She sighs, sinking down onto her couch. ]

[hellsadogfight]

[He sits up.] Somethin' happen?

video;

[oneminutemaze]

I'm not sure. He went off to check on things during the weekend and we haven't heard from him since then.

[hellsadogfight]

Any sign'a him? Anyone else see him?

video;

[oneminutemaze]

Nothing. If anyone saw him over the weekend, they might not even have known it was him.

[hellsadogfight]

What do you mean? What happened?

video;

[oneminutemaze]

Well, if people were hallucinating, he could have looked like someone else, right? Or something else...

video;

[hellsadogfight]

Right. Good point. This isn't good.

[oneminutemaze]

I know. [ She sighs again, running a hand through her hair. ] I've got no idea where to start looking, though, and if he doesn't want to be found...
