[ The video feed starts up, and right off, it's pretty easy to tell that Blaine is worried, and most definitely confused. ]

Hey, guys. So I know it's going to sound stupid, but what happened?

[ The backdrop behind him is more or less a scene of carnage, and it's not at all what he was expecting to see upon his return from Vanaheim. ]

I was gone from the city, so I obviously missed a lot. [ And he's going to feel bad for missing whatever it was that went down. It doesn't feel right that so many of them were having a good time in Vanaheim, while bad things were happening here. ]

If anyone needs a hand with anything at all, let me know. I want to help you guys out, if I can.

[ It feels like the least he can do, after skipping town, so to speak. ]

There was MUCH tension caused by Thiazi. Those in the city and not off at Vanaheim suffered from exhaustion and anxiety and some few were hurting others in the midst of the hold that the queen had over them. Many were lost...

[It's a wonder she can say this all over the feed without a lot of emotion on her face. She contributes it to how tired she is and how much of the clarity fruit she had eaten just to make sure she wouldn't wind up like one of the corrupted.]

You are fortunate to have been elsewhere.

Tension? And people were lost?

[ Blaine is just frowning so much right now. ]

I wish I wasn't elsewhere. I have friends here, and I wasn't around to do anything.

[ Not that he could have done anything, but he's still annoyed with himself. ]

Yes. Many. Others were being attacked. Wounded. Killed.

[She has some sympathy for him. He has a noble heart to want to be here so he can help those that he cares for.]

Have you checked on your friends?

So that's it? They're just gone?

[ And now he's really starting to panic. He hasn't contacted Sam yet, or even found him, and Leeloo's explanations aren't helping allay his fears. ]

No, I haven't. I'm trying to find them, though. You haven't seen or heard from someone named Sam Evans, have you?

[ In hindsight, leaving Freyr probably was a bad idea, but he'll head back there as soon as he can. ]

No... I have never met any Sam Evans.

[She mulls it over in her head. Trying to decide what's right, sheltering the truth for him or being open and honest. In the end she decides it might be best to show him respect as another traveller.]

Those that were infected by Thiazi. They turned themselves in the deities here. They took care of them, and of the illness.

He's pretty tall, a little taller than I am, and he has blonde hair. He's in the same district as I am, Freyr district.

[ But if she's never met him, then his descriptions probably won't be much help. ]

So that means they're all right somehow?

[ It's weird, and makes about zero sense, because dead people stay dead. But then again, he's in a world where gods just walk around, so anything's possible. ]

I would think so. People. They come back here. I may not know your friend but if he is here he should be okay and if he is home he knows that comfort.

I don't get how that's possible, but as long as they're all right, that's definitely a good thing.

Hey, thanks for your help. What's your name?

Those that are here call me Leeloo.

[She understood that her true name could be very long. She's glad the conversation about his friend has ended. Even though she wanted to help, it made her uncomfortable.]

What is yours?

Miss Leeloo has filled you in on how they were caused. As for what you can do to help, there are plenty of places all around the city that could use any type of help, from sweeping up debris to washing off graffiti.

[Owen looks calm, but at the same time you can definitely tell he's a bit exhausted.]

I'm ... not certain that many people will take you up on your offer.

But thank you.

Leeloo, huh? Well, it's great to meet you. My name's Blaine.

Great, thanks for the tip. I'll keep an eye out for anywhere that looks like it needs cleaning up.

[And maybe once he locates Sam, he'll enlist his help, if he's up for it. If not, Blaine feels like he owes the city something.]

No problem. I just feel like I need to do something to make up for not being here.

To be honest, I spoke with someone, and I think that we were worried that it was worse there.

I'm more glad that it wasn't.

Blaine. It is good to meet you. I would like to have met you when you were more secure about your friends.

[ Sam has never been gladder to see you, Blaine. ]

Dude, you're back! You missed a lot. I'm not even sure I understand what happened... It was like one of those serial killer shows but with more than one killer and nobody knew who to trust and I think somebody ate some puppies but it's all over now. [ Sam finally breathes after speaking without any pauses. ]

You'll find that almost everywhere looks like it needs cleaning up.

A lot of bad stuff. [ -- but it looks like he's already been filled in, so Jade won't rehash that. She is oddly subdued, though. ] How was the trip?

Well, it doesn't look like anyone's going anywhere, so I'm sure we'll meet again sometime when things have calmed down.

[ If they can calm down, anyway. ]

Well, then maybe I'll just start with a spot in Freyr and work from there.

Yeah, it was great, but it feels wrong that we were over there having a good time while all those bad things were going on here.

[Guilt is a complicated thing, but Harry's probably well acquainted with that.]

[ The feeling is so mutual, Sam. ]

Sam, are you okay? I mean, whatever happened, it sounds like it wasn't good. [ Definitely not good if Sam's comparing it to a serial killer show. ]

I heard. Sorry you all had to deal with that. [ He sighs and shakes his head, not for the first time. He still feels bad. ] The trip was great, though. Vanaheim's really neat.

A smart move, Mr...? [A pause, like he's waiting for his name.]
