[THIS HAS BEEN SUCH AN EVENTFUL DAY. Kashuu's sitting on the outside of Itsuki's house, just vibin, though he'll wave whenever Jiuqing stops by. Presumably on her way to Chang Geng's house.........]

I feel like I've aged a hundred years in just one day. But, like, in a good way? Mostly. Weird.

[countermeasures]

[the smile she shoots him is tired, but - it's absolutely delighted, too. they're back. they're really back! she'll take a seat next to him, though.]

It can be as weird as it wants, as long as they're back with us again.

[slashay]

[STOP I'M RIGHT.

But phew!! They sure are... Kashuu just huffs out a little laugh at that, reaching out to bonk against her shoulder gently.]

You can say that again. This was even sooner than I was expecting, honestly...

[countermeasures]

Me, too. I thought - well, I thought we'd have to find more things or do more things before they could come back, but...

[they're here now. it's a start.]

[slashay]

Yeah, I was kinda expecting an uphill battle...

{Dramatically having to tear their dead from the embrace of the prism... He's grateful that didn't happen, though.]

It'll be way easier to coordinate and face what's next now.

[countermeasures]

That's true... we don't have to worry about having enough space on a letter, or even about having to look for them in the right places to find them.

...when we want to talk to them, we can just go see them and do that.

[slashay]

[He's just giving her a little nudge...]

Takes a weight off, right? [He's glad Chang Geng came back alive and well and specifically mentioned knowing that letter (or lack thereof) would trouble her!!]

[countermeasures]

It really does.

[she's, like, 50% less mad at him for not writing now since he copped to it immediately.]

[slashay]

[He knows how to handle her anger... God bless.]

You really helped a lot of 'em out with all that stuff you gathered up, too. You and Percy and the other guys who put a ton of stuff together.

[even if some of it was lost in the shuffle because i aki was like SURELY THIS MUCH WOULDN'T BE ALLOWED,, little did i know]

[countermeasures]

Well - better to be overprepared than underprepared, right?

...I'm glad it helped.

[slashay]

Totally true, yeah. [A solemn nod...] --Malik said thanks for the TV, too.

[He says this with some fondness. Their skrunkly apartment raccoon.]

[countermeasures]

...good. It worked out, then.

[slashay]

Yeah - I'm kinda surprised? I was worried it wasn't gonna work, since I was like, do they even have electricity over there...

[countermeasures]

They had an Applebees, apparently. Whatever that is.

[slashay]

Apparently it's a place with food that people thing is either bad or mediocre... They had motel rooms, too?

[countermeasures]

Oh...

That sounds unpleasant.

*think... help

[slashay]

Oh, yeah, the whole place sounds like it was garbage.

[countermeasures]

Good thing they made it back! At least they don't have to put up with that anymore.

[slashay]

Totally! Like being dead isn't bad enough... Going from this to that had to have sucked.

[countermeasures]

Definitely... At least there were somewhere at all, but it could have been a little nicer.

[slashay]

Yeah... What'd they call it - being quarantined or something? I wonder if the other residents from that side were the ones who made that place.

[countermeasures]

Speaking of them, where are they?

[slashay]

I dunno, but I've got a bad feeling about all the eyes.

[DREAMER (DEROGATORY).]

[countermeasures]

I do too...

[slashay]

I guess we'll have to watch 'em... I'll cover up the ones that appeared in the dojo later.
