Wakey-wakey eggs and bakey~.

[Have one smiling treasure hunter to greet you all. It's been quite a year! She's seen a lot of this world, but now it's back to business, it seems.]

Communications are back online! At least for us. I'll bet the seelie have theirs online now, too. How are we supposed to banter back and forth though? It's not as fun if we're not glaring at each other and shouting death threats.

Oh well, we can still glare in spirit, right?

[Let's see, what else is new?]

Have all the sleeping people woken up? You should know that while you were sleeping, we stripped you naked and made an Unseelie 2702 calendar. And if you weren't asleep, don't tell them that's a lie, you'll ruin the surprise.

I'll miss the ham-fisted Cold War references. For those of us who understood 'em in the first place, anyway.

[Kayneth had made quite the impression on Jason. Plus, he still thinks it's utterly ridiculous that any conflict here was compared to that.

There's a long beat before he adds:]

Long time no see. Having these back helps in another way, at least.

[desperate_times]

[She smiles at seeing him.]

Yes, it's been awhile. Though I was hoping I'd hear from you.

[They had such a good time at Samhain, after all.]

Glad to see you're in one piece.

[uneulogized]

Not for lack of trying to fall apart a few times. [Though he could be bullshitting on that front.]

Guess we won't have to wonder much anymore, thanks to these. Nice of them to give them back finally.

[desperate_times]

Yes, the air was too quiet for my liking.

And it does make it easier to get in touch with people.

What do you think will happen now? Do you think there'll be another battle like before?

[uneulogized]

We've just suffered a great deal of losses. [He considers that for a moment, allowing his initial words to hang in the air.]

I don't think it'd be a good idea to keep letting things screw us over. We'll have to act. We wasted the last year, after all.

[desperate_times]

Not like we could do anything last year.

[They had no leadership.]

What are you suggesting? A full scale assault? Not sure how that would work out for us.

[uneulogized]

Hey, did that sound like a suggestion? [He offers a faint smile.] I'm just not one for sitting on my hands and letting the world end, that's all.

[tacticalturtleneck]

Listening in on the losers isn't worth the lost brain cells. I'm losing enough with alcohol, I don't need people I hate doing it too.

[desperate_times]

Your hatred for the enemy is admirable. What do you think will happen now that the monarchs are back?

[tacticalturtleneck]

Do you want the details or just the summary?

[desperate_times]

Give me the dirty details.

[tacticalturtleneck]

We can start with the part where Morla is totally going to ask me to bang her. That's step number 1. Step number 2 is that I remain awesome and number 3 is probably something important but not really worth it.

[desperate_times]

[That gets a laugh. He's funny in a weird sort of way.]

Step 3 isn't something even bigger? Like becoming king of the universe?

Eggs and what?

[desperate_times]

Bakey--I mean, bacon. You must have had bacon before.

[invisibletouch]

What does it look like?

video;

[desperate_times]

It's.. bacon! You know just.. bacon.

It's strips of meat and it tastes like heaven.

[invisibletouch]

That doesn't tell me anything.

[desperate_times]

It's difficult to describe, but if you ever have the chance to eat it, you definitely should.

[notavirtue]

I admit, I was surprised to hear you survived the ship crash.

[Yes, it really has been that long since they'd seen one another. The world got a lot bigger without fairy rings or lockets, apparently.]

[desperate_times]

[A very long time!]

I'm surprised you're still about as well. What've you been doing all this time?

[notavirtue]

I have survived worse wars than that one. [He might be no fun at all, but he did know how to get out of some crappy situations.] After the battle, I was given the position of captain within the Unseelie army. With no real battles to fight, however, I simply traveled.

[Not much different than his first year here, really.]

Obviously our paths did not cross, whatever you might have been doing.

[desperate_times]

I did a lot of traveling, as well. It's a big enough world I guess that our paths didn't cross.

It's a shame about Mair, though. I had hoped to build a business in trade there.

[notavirtue]

[A pity the world now felt a lot smaller, with the Void creeping up on them.]

There are still eight spires to consider. Most have active towns and ports of some fashion.

[desperate_times]

True. Are you running any of those?
