[Amal is dressed a little differently today. Repping Thavnairian weave and a ribbon in his hair, he's seemingly conquered the incredible bedhead he's nursed for several weeks.]

Hey everyone! Did you think you were rid of me? Sorry to disappoint! Being exceptionally difficult to get rid of is one of my many talents, as it turns out.

My birds are acting like I was dead instead of asleep, when I don't even remember going to bed. But I remember a lot of other things—it was like I was home. Like I never left. Maybe... my body was here while my soul was there? I have no idea, but I'm awake now, and I have every reason to believe what I saw happen... uh, happened.

So. What'd I miss?

[A pause.]

Oh, and what's a BBL? I woke up to a bunch of texts from work asking if I'd 'recovered' yet.

[He can kind of guess, simply because he's done that himself!]

You guys are acting like the world ended or something.

[chatterboxing]

Eeeeeeh, I wouldn't say the world ended, but the last few weeks, to put it in the nicest terms I'm willin' to use, was a fuckin' mess.

There was this murderghost goin' around drowning people because of somethin' to do with the Spirit Realm, and it only stopped cuz a bunch o' people here agreed to go play a game o' death soccer, and the losing team got killed, because of course it did.

Little while after that? Some of the people that either drowned or lost the game started comin' back. Like, as themselves, not zombies or whatever other undead nonsense y'might expect. But, so far it looks like it's only people who were on this dumb app?

So. Yeah.

[thavnairian]

[This is a fairly detailed enough explanation that it gets him to pause and think about it. After a minute, he gives a great, heavy sigh.]

Let me guess... there was no way to interfere with the ghost directly. Because killing things is usually better than trying to deal with whatever stupid deal monsters try to make...

Who was on the losing team? Do you remember any names?

[chatterboxing]

Honestly don't have an answer to that first bit, I mean, it did get one o' my friends, but I wasn't there in time to even try t'do anything to stop it.

As for who all got got, I didn't see the game itself cuz I had other stuff goin' on, like penguin-sitting, but lessee... [She pokes through a few semi-recent posts.] Rean, Arthur, Izuku, Hunter, Ken, Miyako aaaaand Zelos. I know at least a few o' them are already back.

[thavnairian]

Damn... I'm sorry to hear that. I'm sure if it was an option, someone would have done something.

[What a mess. He isn't surprised to hear some of the names on that list, which says a lot. He has some screaming to do.]

Sounds like I'll be making some personal visits now that I'm back. Thanks.

I'm Amal, by the way. I'll try to be around next time a god needs punched.

[chatterboxing]

She did get better, but yeah that wasn't exactly a great week.

An' I'm Lita. Not badass enough to go punchin' any gods yet, but I'm tryin' t'do what I can where I can. [So far, this has largely meant trying to make sense of certain things that have been going on, with little success thus far.]

[thavnairian]

Nice to meet you.

Give it time, practice a bit. Knives help!
