Waking the Dead 2.0 || August 6, 2063 || Saturday

[kalikat]

[There's the official word from MayaNET first. A simple message: Brother Assassin has woken up from his coma, and appears to be in good health. The network's been exploding with joy over the news.

For you Hounds, though, Kalika's got a message. Interestingly enough, it's sent straight to your inboxes - hence, those of you who aren't Zangyaku yet are also receiving this.]

SENT: 11:05 AM
Pretty sure that Kaiser Delacroix has had Words with the lot of you already, but it needs to be said.

Bostova, Marisigan, Stevenson: you're benched, and - according to ALL meanings of the word - you all deserve it. Enjoy the break.

As for the rest of you?

Thanks. I hope to see the lot of you walking through the gates of my base very soon, with your dossiers at a ready. :)

Not you too.

Kaiser Delacroix can be incredibly persuasive when she chooses to be. :p

Eeeee!! Sure thing!! :)

[ Brig wakes up from his autonomic control-induced sleep to both messages from Kaiser Liandrin and Magistrate Kalika. He's a bit surprised. And a bit confused. He replies similarly to both as he's not sure what else to say. ]

SENT: 12:03 PM
Did we do something wrong, Ma'am?

[ But happy at the news concerning Fukuzawa-san, he follows up quickly with ]

SENT: 12:03 PM
But the news on Brother Fukuzawa having recovered is fantastic news. We're all very glad he's okay.

[kalikat]

SENT: 1:17 PM
Still considering the Senshi, I'm guessing?

[kalikat]

SENT: 12:04 PM
We're all glad. And you guys DID do something wrong: you all don't know how to take a break. :p

[It's the truth.]

[bostova]

SENT: 11:09 AM
The whole month is too much, though.

[ Yeah, she's whining. ]

[kalikat]

[She knows, Yulia. She knows. :3]

SENT: 11:10 AM
Hey, it's not like you're all completely banned from doing things. Minor engagements are still a thing!

[bostova]

[ :(((((((((((((((( ]

SENT 11:11 AM
But those are boring.

[kalikat]

[Your sadfacing is delicious, because she totally knows you are sadfacing even if she cannot see it.]

SENT: 11:13 AM
You guys need a hobby other than fighting. :))

[atlas_shrugged]

[ Like Brother like Sister. Hikaru did, in fact, suggest that he get some sleep. Now Sister Kalika was benching them too.

Still, after what happened to Brother Fukuzawa, and to Kaz, Brig doesn't think it's such a bad idea. He's been gone long enough from home as it is. Straight to Africa after nearly a month in the US. ]

SENT: 12:07 PM
Acknowledged, Magistrate Shinta. I will touch base with friends and family; been long enough away from home and recent events have put some things into new perspective.

[kalikat]

SENT: 12:08 PM
Good. That's what a break like this is for, anyway - being with people. Learning to be with yourself.

[bostova]

SENT: 11:13 AM
That's still boring.

SENT: 11:13 AM
We'll see.

[ At least she'll try? ]

[kalikat]

SENT: 11:15 AM
"Boring" is a matter of perspective. :3

If you need suggestions for hobbies, I can help.

[bostova]

[ And since she just got Told, she'll bite. ]

SENT 11:20 AM
Like what?

[kalikat]

[She is curious at this oddly receptive Bostova. o3o]

SENT: 11:24 AM
Arts and crafts, picking up a language or several, learning how to play an instrument, traveling, finish a course at some university... there's a lot of "non-Vigil" things to do. :0

[The quotes are deliberate. She has Opinions.]

[bostova]

SENT: 11:25 AM
And what are your hobbies?

[therealbrianna]

SENT: 01:18 PM
Yeah, definitely! I guess I should take this time for preparations? :)

[atlas_shrugged]

SENT: 12:10 PM
I will make the most of this opportunity, Ma'am. Thank you.

Nonetheless, if there are any minor engagements or assignments you would allow us to participate in, I'd be very willing to help. Just to stay sharp till after the bench order is lifted. Any Zangyaku patrols, maybe Pandoran hunts like the one from my Initiation, with your blessing.

SENT: 11:29 PM
Video games and making things to wear. Bags and bracelets and stuff.

[That might explain why she always has funky accessories.]

[kalikat]

SENT: 1:20 PM
Might be a good idea. The faster you get the stuff done, the sooner we can get you started. :3

[Because she is pretty sure that you'll get in. You have her vote, anyway, and you're kind of Tala's bestie and Hikaru's newest daughter.]

[kalikat]

SENT: 12:12 PM
Just check the Boards when you're home. Might want to check in with the Division heads down here too!

[bostova]

SENT: 11:31 AM
I'll figure out what to do.

[ uuuuugh. ]

AND THEN I GOT THE TIME WRONG HERE WRY SELF

[kalikat]

SENT: 11:32 AM
Which is a fun process in itself!

Honestly? I think it'll be good for you. I can't believe I'm saying this given how I used to be, but if it's just about the fight for a Keeper of the Vigil, you're doing it wrong.

I will try and slow down, then.

And find a hobby.
