[sithiche]

[ When the camera turns on, Artemis' expression is carefully neutral-- almost bored. ]

As much... joy I feel to be back here, I would have thought you could have at least cleaned up a bit. This place has just as much charm as it did the last time around. [ He punctuates that statement with a bit of a sneer, before his expression returns to its blasé state. ]

Would anyone mind filling me in on what I've missed? Sparing none of the grim and gritty details, of course.

[ There is a pause, before he adds: ]

Don't tell me those sods bombed this place again.

At the very least, you're not alone.

[ overwhelming

joy

from this guy ]

[sithiche]

Be careful, love, someone might mistake you for possessing enthusiasm.

[spellcastes]

I certainly possess it, I am not devoid of feeling.

voice;

[bloodspeaker]

So you've come back, eh. Sorry to see you.

[His tone isn't hostile. Just tired, and a bit sad, because most people don't want to be back here.]

permavideo;

[sithiche]

Don't sound too overjoyed on my behalf. You might strain yourself.

[ He gives a bit of a shrug. ]

I'll... adjust.

[bloodspeaker]

Why would I be overjoyed? As you just observed, this place isn't exactly a utopia.

[he sighs.]

I'm only glad that your disappearance meant you were home, and not in some other trouble.

voice

[implying]

Now there's a welcome haughty grandeur!

[sithiche]

Did you miss me?

[implying]

Oh, daily. To be quite honest, I'm not sure why I hadn't succumbed entirely to the grief of loss and done away with myself.

[miscreant]

[Doesn't know this guy, but that last line makes her laugh. Did you miss the death knights, Artemis?]

As it happens...yes. They did.

permavideo;

[sithiche]

[ Of course, being surrounded by the undead makes his days brighter. ]

They're not very good at that.

permavideo;

[miscreant]

Well, it doesn't seem they need to be particularly good at it in order to cause damage.

[deadelfwalking]

[HERE'S ANOTHER DEATH KNIGHT.]

Artemis. You look well.

[sithiche]

[ he collects them like pokemon cards. ]

That's good, because I feel like a bus hit me.

[ He gives a bit of a shrug. ]

Are you doing alright?

[deadelfwalking]

[Koltira shrugs. Other than the two maniacs running around in place of his friends and the increasingly insistent whispers from Byfrost, everything is peachy.]

It's a difficult time for everyone right now.

[bodilesswarrior]

Again? [Her voice is sharp, gaze intent. Her interest was already piqued - she hadn't heard of people leaving and returning - but that's what she zeroes in on. She knows about one bombing; she didn't know they'd tried before.]

permavideo;

[sithiche]

It made for a really spectacular welcoming party when I came here last September.

[bodilesswarrior]

I can imagine. Who needs confetti when you've got raining debris?

video;

[sweetling]

What, they make a habit of bombing this place?

[That is alarming. 8( ]

permavideo;

[sithiche]

Apparently.

[video]

[scornful]

There was some sort of epidemic. Fever, vomiting, death, all sorts of exciting and not at all disgusting stuff. And some bombs.

Hm. I think you are before my time, however.

permavideo;

[sithiche]

So I've heard. I'm sure you can see just how disappointed I am about missing all that.

[ He seems to give the screen a moment of consideration. ]

I'll take your word for it. Some names and faces are still a bit fuzzy for me.
