[ when the screen turns on, the man on the other end looks more exasperated than anything else. mildly annoyed, perhaps. like this is all just a big inconvenience to him that he'll surely be over and done with soon. right? that's how these things usually work, anyway. ]

Okay. I've been around the block, even been to hell dimension once or twice.

[ actually probably more than that, but who's counting? ]

But this... This is new. I mean, sort of new. Actually, now that I think about it, the details are different, but it's actually pretty similar to that one time I... [ oh wait, getting sidetracked. ] Never mind. The point is, I'm not interested. I've gotta get back to my city and to my people... last I saw of them, I'm pretty sure they were being plunged into hell. Literally.

[ a pause as he thinks for a moment... ] Alright, when I put it like that, maybe I'd actually rather stay right here. { sigh. ] But I can't do that. There was a dragon, you see? Flying around in the sky, acting like a dragon flying around my city is perfectly normal and acceptable. It's not. So I need to do something about that. Like, right now.

So... sending me back yet? Yes? No? [ he'll just... wait. hopefully. somebody please get back to him on this. ]

[When the feed starts, there's Inara sitting on her couch, nursing a cup of tea. She looks a little washed out, tired even, but such is the effect of having been gray for however long she'd been. She is slowly getting more color in her cheeks, so for that, she is most grateful.

She lowers the cup and offers a small smile.]

Nǐmén hǎo. Seems many are coming back from unexpected... uncoloring. [She frowns slightly because that just does not even sound right. But, it's what had happened to many.]

I'm not entirely certain how long I was not myself, but it would be nice to know what I've missed in my absence. Perhaps someone would be kind enough to fill me in?

[Filtered to Malcolm Reynolds and Simon Tam]

I hope the two of you are well and staying out of trouble. Perhaps we could all meet up, maybe for dinner?

((OOC: hover over the Chinese for translation :D ))

[it may take her a few moments to remember how this even works. Regina is looking a bit on the ragged side once again, with her white robes in one hand and her bracelet in the other. For one thing, the city needing color... It seems familiar. Does it? It's starting to hurt her head. As she glances around, even looks at the natives passing by. She simply sniffs the air, out of habit, waiting to catch something off.

She feels heavy, taking a clawed hand to push white strands out of her head.]

Gcás gach duine... Nn. O, mae hyn eto.

[It feels so weird speaking in Welsh again, after speaking in Irish for so long. Her mother's tongue, she can't help but let it escape her mouth again.]

Rwy'n meddwl fy mod yn gwneud gyda hyn. Pryd alla i fynd yn ôl Cymru?

...



Freya, what will make you happy? Shall I find something outside of a goat to sacrifice to please you?

[ooc; welsh and gaelic translation to the texts above: Where is everyone? Oh, this again. I thought I was done with this. When can I go back to Wales?]

[Euri takes a deep breath when the feed starts. This seems a little weird, asking everyone on the network instead of hunting down the people she already knows, but this might be the better option.

She hopes.]

I bet some of you have already noticed the gods sent Crow - Senji home. For those of you that didn't know him he was amazing and really, really great. And the best fighter here ever. He could kick anyone's ass!

So... before he left he was training me to be a better fighter. Now that he's gone I need a new trainer, because I definitely don't want to just stop. There's a certain bastard obsessed with fire whose ass I still need to kick, and there's the war to worry about.

I can pay runes! Or I guess if anyone really wants, potions or charms or herbs - stuff I prepare for the store. I can cook, too. Mostly. So if there's anyone who can fight and is interested let me know!
