[ video | day ] 'cause one of us is gonna die young

[ A few of Promenade's residents may recognize the area that Rebecca is sitting in as Tony Stark's workshop -- or at least, what was Tony Stark's workshop. It's bare of the Iron Man suits and everything else that was identifiable as belonging to Stark Industries, along with a few things that weren't. Rebecca is sitting in Tony's chair with a book

[Madsen's jaw is set, but she takes a deep breath and steadies herself. It's better they get things straightened out now before things get worse.]

I'll be ready. I don't know exactly who else is gone, but ... it's a lot.

We will get through this. [Though that last statement is more of a reassurance for herself outside of for anyone in general.]

If the pattern holds, it's right before the flood of new arrivals, too. Man, this is... weird.

[ She can't bring herself to say that it sucks, not if there's a chance they went home. ]

Yeah, we will.

That's about the understatement of the century right there.

If I know of anyone else that might be interested in helping out, I'll bring 'em along. Gonna need to figure out how to organize things on my end, though that shouldn't be too difficult, thankfully.

Considering all the things that have happened since January, I don't think anything is ever going to make my jaw drop again.

That would be great. I want to talk to you and Ichigo, too, but I was thinking I'd let emotions calm down before getting too into the nitty-gritty.

Don't say that, our oh-so-gracious hosts might actually take that as a challenge.

Though waiting is probably a good idea. I'm ... pissed, but I think this hit Ichigo harder than I originally thought. He'll need a couple days to vent beforehand at least.

[ Rebecca's just going to mime zipping her mouth shut. ]

Yeah. I think I'm going to need a few days, just to get my thoughts organized.

[Thumbs-up!]

Probably for the best for all of us, really.

If the pattern's going to hold... Do you think we should wait, let the new people come along? [ There's always the off-chance that Tony will come with them, too, but she's trying not to think about that. ]

Might be a good idea. Never know who might end up popping in, and I'd rather see for myself with a decent-sized group, take care of it all at once.

Want to help play recruiter, then? As terrible as it is, they're pretty vulnerable when they first show up. Better we get to them than the guards.

Can definitely do that. It's better than sitting on my ass and doing nothing.

You've got that right.

... You don't want a piglet by chance, do you?

Not really sure I have the room to start a zoo, if that's what you're getting at. I already got a kitten and Nithal, think a piglet would just make it worse.

I'm sure Nithal appreciates being considered part of the zoo.

I got a message a little while ago -- I don't know if you met him, but Jacob Glaser disappeared and left me all five of the piglets he hadn't adopted out yet. I'd already adopted one and I have my dog, too, so...

Eh, he's going to be annoyed about it one way or another. Apparently T.O.'s already taken to trying to bat at his tailfeathers when he decides to show his feathery face around here.

Sorry, otherwise I probably wouldn't mind. Dunno who else would take one, though.

[ Snort. ] Cute. I hope that kitty is fireproof.

It's okay. I'm trying to con Charles into taking one, he's got the room.
