 [There's the tail end of muttering 'Can't even tell the passage of time.' when the signal comes on. 

Irving is, of course, immaculate, but he's also a touch resentful looking.] Have I been... absent... at all?

[Maglor] 

Well, I hope you stayed in bed last night, for I wouldn't have woken up for anything, it seems.

[Naoto]

I can confirm that 'returning home' does indeed occur.

[beforethewar]

Er...no. You were just at the house last night.

Why?

[Video | Private]

[becauseichooseto]

For me, it's been… well, quite a while.

[Video | Private]

[beforethewar]

I've...heard of it happening from time to time, but it isn't that common.

[He gives Brax a look.]

I take it your time wasn't pleasant? You don't look particularly happy.

[Video | Private]

[becauseichooseto]

[He waves his hand dismissively.] I had my ups and downs. My position has altered somewhat. To quite what... [He frowns thoughtfully.] I don't know yet. It might be nothing.

[Video / same filter as yours ]

[bythewaves]

I did, yes. Is ought wrong?

Private Video

[becauseichooseto]

Wrong? No. But given I was mentally absent for the period, it would have been a shame if you hadn't taken advantage.

[bythewaves]

Mentally absent? Forgive me, I was asleep and did not know. You are well?

Private Video

[becauseichooseto]

No forgiveness needed: how were you to know regardless?

I'm… well, yes. But my mind experienced home. Eh… where I'd come from anyway. And it was rather too jam packed to be any kind of a dream.

[investigatetime]

Did you.... disappear?

[Sarah hadn't had a chance to properly meet Irving, but she's still trying to learn the who's and what's of this place too.]

[becauseichooseto]

[He considers a moment before he speaks.] No, it would seem not. Merely my mind elsewhere.

[investigatetime]

But does that happen often? I mean, thinking you've left? Or maybe something's causing it?

[Oh Sarah Jane, you've been traveling with the Doctor far too long!]

[becauseichooseto]

No, I don't think I've left, they're most certainly memories. I know the difference. [...Unfortunately.] And it's a relatively common phenomenon, I've been informed.

[comeonthensexy]

If you were, it was just overnight.

[Video | Who filter]

[becauseichooseto]

Well, I suppose that's convenient.

[Video | Who filter]

[comeonthensexy]

Pretty much, yeah. Asleep, then?

[Video | Who filter]

[becauseichooseto]

To all appearances.

[detects]

[There's a pause before she speaks.]

Then I take it you saw it for yourself?

[private]

[becauseichooseto]

I experienced it, yes.

[private]

[detects]

I see. [She sighs a bit, relieved. Although...] Could you also confirm that time did not pass while you were away and that when you returned it was like you hadn't left?

[bossily]

I just saw you the other night, so I haven't noticed any absences.

[There's an awkward pause as she pieces things together.]

How much time did you lose track of, do you think?

video ; private

[becauseichooseto]

It would seem I wasn't gone very long at all.

[bossily]

When you went back, did you remember anything about being here? I've heard people say you don't, but getting a firsthand account..

[Well, it'd help a lot.]

( video | private ) /late to this whoops

[utopianist]

No one had made mention of you going missing in the past evening.

[ There's a brief pause. ] Is everything alright, Brax?

( video | private )

[becauseichooseto]

I returned. To where I had been.

( video | private )

[utopianist]

You did? What had happened then?
