[He tries to filter, but he hasn't exactly had the time to learn how to properly filter. So, this post just comes onto the network like normal. Will is sitting down on a bed staring hard at first, before he finally speaks.]

I've been thinking about this a lot. What makes people strong? Is it being able to defend themselves? Or is it being able to defend others?

[He sighs and rubs the back of his neck.]

I'm not the strongest person, but I guess I've never really tried to be all that strong. So, I was wondering if there's anyone out there wants to help me train with a sword and someone else with my magic.

Even if I can't go home, that doesn't mean others shouldn't be able to eventually.

[He rubs at his forehead.]

I guess what I'm saying is, I want to help so I need to get stronger.

Okay, I'm all for Norse mythology and stuff, but really? This isn't LARPing gone wrong or something, is it?

The forced smile drops for a little bit, though, as she continues.]

Also, I don't know if someone's already made the announcement, but Castle's- [Her voice cuts out for a moment and Kate takes half a second to pull herself back together. A breath, and then she continues.] Richard Castle's gone home.

Which means, [Just keep talking. Keep yourself together, Kate, you're on the network.] I'm in the market for a new roommate. Two or three, actually. I've got paid housing in Sigyn, it's a pretty nice place, too. I just can't pay for it for myself.

[She's not shaking she's not shaking she's not shaking. Kate gives another smile, small. Trying to be hopeful but instead looking even more exhausted. As if she's aged years in just that week.] And if anyone else left while I was gone, could someone fill me in?

Sorry about that. Did anything happen with the Department while I was grey?
