Soooo, since Dien has decided to stay on, I'd just like to nix the Major Angst Plot I detailed above. I'm sure I'll find some other time and context to send Cain back into ptsd and depression and so on and so forth. Because I'm evil and always looking for excuses to torture my pups.
ANYWAYS. No angst, you ask? But then what?
Well. A perhaps-surprisingly mellowed out Cain. Something is obviously wrong!
Talk amongst yourselves.
Of course, with this sort of thing, the two people who's at all likely to think anything is different are Deej and Glitch. But on the whole... I think the trend of the past month or two of Cain trying to actually get to know people will continue along the same path. Networking is a Good Thing, especially in a situation where you're in control of even less factors than back home. Rolling with the punches, sort of. Team efforts!
Well, she's been gone three weeks-a month, and the Talking Thing happened little over a month ago. So if anyone's likely to notice, it's really DG.
Going from reclusive and grouchy to outright extrovert-by-comparison? Yyyeah. For other people, it wouldn't be too big a change as it's happened gradually. But DG hasn't been around for most of it.
Being able to sleep? Makes it a lot easier trying not to go insane. And oh! Cain's started eating regularly too thanks to Paul and Glitch both.
There will be every single awkward glance. All of them.
...also yes, hi. We can do this and then backdate it to before the big hack-crash-unplug, because depending on how we deal with that there may be piles of other stuff to cope with. Sob.
I'll certainly do my best, because as the universe continues to love me Mom's coming up the 31st and will be visiting until the 11th of September. Ems, you said you wouldn't be around mucht eh first week either with school and stuff?
Yeah, I'm on a field trip from the 3rd of September to the 9th of September. I'll be taking my laptop for data analysis, though, so I'll be able to steal internet access from the main building. I'll just be sporadic.
Hmmmm. Couldn't we actually backtag it? As in, someone ups a post with an edited date stamp for before the city wide pause glitch/plug-pulling oopsies?

Good! And what better way to celebrate not going insane than with apple pie?

I certainly can't think of a better one. It could be masked as a yay! DG's back sort of get-together?
