So, I'm back. I guess? [Desmond still sounds -- and looks -- a little dazed.] I didn't realize the bracelets were that important. I'll have to keep that in mind.

[He grins, a little, his confidence returning.] So... what did I miss? Did this turn out to be a surreal fever dream while I was out of it, by any chance?

[Desmond can't help but laugh at that.] What, want me to take notes next time.

[digophelia]

Of course not, I was just curious.

[seventeenth]

Can't say I blame you. It sounds like it happens a lot.

[digophelia]

Indeed, it's commonplace, more than those who leave the city and return. They say not to take it off, but I've never seen it first hand. All I heard was that you turn grey and faceless like the others.

[seventeenth]

Seems as likely as anything. Those guys are pretty creepy.

[digophelia]

There is always worse.
