[The feed cuts on and a voice starts up almost immediately.]

Soooo... [He pauses.]

I was gone for a week, like the Initiative said I would be, but I get back and it's been more like- [Hums a little, as if he's calculating it] -six weeks give or take, according to the network date here. It looks like everything caught on fire while I was gone, too. Go figure.

Not only that, but there's a flood of newbies, too, as well as people I missed from the last one. Anyone willing to give me an update? Or link me to where another thread that explains it would be fine, too.

Anyway, I'm Blaine. Good to meet the new people, and for the old crowd, I'm back.

Not all parents. Mine never laid a hand on me.

[ ... she's not sure she should mention this now, Blaine. Two trolls in one place? You'd combine your powers for evil. Especially since you BOTH figured out Lucy and Natsu were dancing around liking each other. ]

I'm not sure. I have a feeling you two would probably get along.

[strategic_guile]

You turned out all right, so maybe you didn't need them.

[ Now, now Lucy. You and Natsu were so obvious only those totally unwilling to see it Juvia *cough* were blind to it. He's smiling.]

I could always use a few more acquaintances. What's wrong with getting along?

[celestial_wizard]

[ Not obvious! They're just friends! Lucy will insist on this until she stops. ]

Well -- nothing? I mean, I wouldn't try to stop you from getting new friends!

[strategic_guile]

So, introduce us?

[celestial_wizard]

Oh I -- I can do that, sure...! When are you free to meet him?

[ She's going to doom herself with this. D: ]

[strategic_guile]

[Heheheh, Blaine's sure she is dooming herself, and he likes corralling her into doing it.]

How about in three days? That'll give me a chance to settle back in and catch up.

[celestial_wizard]

[ Terrible. Just Terrible. Shame on you Blaine! ]

All right, that sounds good. I'll get in touch with Sohki. I know just the place we can meet.

[strategic_guile]

[No shame at all. Hear him grinning through the 'phone'.]

Oh? What place is that?

[celestial_wizard]

[ Ohgod. ]

When she was here, Erza found a building that had been abandoned; we converted it into sort of a guild hall, kind of like the one we had back home.

[strategic_guile]

I remember that place. I swung through there briefly.

[Because the mun fails and didn't manage to do any threads, but he was at the Guild Party.]

[celestial_wizard]

Good! You'll be able to get there okay then!

[ Patpats! XD ]

[strategic_guile]

I look forward to seeing you then.
