Hey, um... [ There's Yukiteru again. In the very corner of the screen, someone might notice that he found four white ribbons that are situated neatly on his bedside table. He looks like he's adjusting slightly better, but he still sounds distinctly sad. ]

How do you guys deal with something you became really dependent on, but might not have been able to bring with you?

[ He's trying to be vague on purpose. In the off-chance he gets his Future Diary back... well, with his new powers, it's one of the few things that can still kill him relatively easily if someone knows that breaking it is his major weakness. ]

[Anduin's face is a touch too-composed as he edges into view, gazing silently at the screen of the tablet for a moment before leaning forward. Giving a quiet sigh, he rests his chin on his hands, elbows on the desk. His expression is a somber one, and yet he still smiles softly as he looks downward slowly.]

My apologies to those I was talking too awhile ago. Things have been a touch ...busy as of late.

[Busy in the avoiding everyone that he can sense, at least. Still, it's rude to try and shut himself away for so long no matter his feelings and it isn't what Varian would want. Using that resolve he sits up a little straighter, lifting his head. When he finds his voice, there's a newfound ring of pleasantry to his tone, even if he doesn't exactly feel the quiet cheer he is working into his voice.]

I just wanted to thank everyone who was kind enough to help me look for my father. I greatly appreciated your actions despite the actual outcome. It means a great deal to me that you took the time to help me, and I truly am grateful.

[It does no one any good to sit and pout and sulk because his father isn't there - things will be alright, really! He just has to convince himself of that, now. There is little to say now that he's offered his thanks, but still Anduin pauses for a moment, eying the tablet screen thoughtfully for a moment before speaking again, impulsively.]

If I can do anything in return, or ...if anyone would simply like to talk, by all means. Thank you again.

[And with that he cuts the communication, determined to force himself out of the slump. He had handled worse before, after all! This would be easy in comparison!]

[ Feferi doesn't look like she just got back from a three week mission, she's made sure of that. She is staring a little too intently at the camera, and looking a little too cheerful-- normal for her. ]

Hello Exsilium! It's so good to be back, but it looks like I miss one shell of a mission! I had my own to be on, but it sounds like it was a lot of fun, from what I've heard so far. And I missed the new arrivals? [ She raises a hands a gives a little wave. ] Hi to all of you too!

Oh, but I wanted to ask something too! Is anyone here really good with making furniture?
