All right. Someone needs to tell me why more of Chicago's fallen down than usual, why our friends the CLF are back and making life miserable, and - most importantly - WHERE THE FUCK I WAS WHEN ALL OF THIS WAS HAPPENING.I really don't appreciate walking into my office in the morning

Uh. I think if you'd been gone I would have noticed...

Though hey you've been kinda quiet all month. No wonder I wasn't feeling all that captain angst.

CLF's got a new leader. Or well, he looks like the ringleader with the way he's answering everyone. Apparently a demon if journal entries are to be trusted which they're...not but it's info so whatever, I'm telling you. There was a video of him killing three wanderers. It wasn't pretty. A lot of the wanderers are freaking out. Especially the newer ones who aren't used to the CLF being the CLF.

A Barnam got into it with the guy. You know what that means.

Things are a clusterfuck. Basically.

Whiskey?

Whiskey. It'd be hypervodka, if anyone around here sold it. Actually, I'm surprised Chicago is still standing.

Does this happen often in this universe? I think if I fell through a rift and came out a few months later, you'd have felt that.

Hey, it's gonna take a whole lot more to burn this place down once and for all.

It kind of does? I'd have definitely felt it if you fell through a rift to somewhere else cause of the physical distance but there are also Rifts that can deceive the people around you into thinking you're actually around when you're not.

...Which is kind of creepy.

You okay? You need anything?

I believe your guardian summed it up. There was a tornado as well, but that missed most of the city.

It's been a long month, which is nothing new in Chicago as we know.

It's good to have you back, though I honestly had no idea you were gone until I read this entry, which is when it actually hit me. I've heard of it happening before. Ariel told me about the times that it happened to her. No one noticed that she'd been gone either. I don't know what it's called, but I'm sorry that it happened to you.

Welcome back?

Thanks.

I'd say it's good to be back, but there are at least three things wrong with that line.
