{ it's been a while since he last posted on here, and he honestly looks tireder, it takes a moment for him to recognise the video is recording and he'll start--finally offering a smile. it isn't a very big one, and a bit more sheepish. }

I saw Loki already made comments on another post about what happened, but I wanted to say sorry if I worried anyone. Both Annie and Loki already gave me hell for dying, no one else needs to. Really.

{ he takes a deep breath }

But I had been working on something before all that happened. I've been working with Harrison since there isn't exactly much in place to help prisoners actually re-engage with society once their time inside is up, so I've set up a Reform Program in collaboration with the police. I'll be the only one working cases to start, but if anyone thinks they could be a positive influence on someone's life and wants to make a difference, hit me up. Hopefully we can make this world a better place outside of just the darkness.

If you have any questions ask away, I'll do my best to answer them.

Welcome back to the living. This is a noble goal, but be sure to take some time for yourself and your recovery as well.

[He knows better than most that the mental wounds don’t heal as easily.]

That's great! I mean, not dying, don't die, but helping people get better? That's definitely what we need!

Why I think that is an excellent idea. My only question is, do you have the space? Because if not, I would be glad to offer the Haven Hotel for both temporary housing for these former prisoners as they transition back to civilian life as well as meeting space for rehabilitation classes and group therapy sessions.

Thanks. On both counts. Unfortunately I did kinda have it happen both here and at home so the timing kinda sucked... but I'm also doing better. You don't have to worry about me, promise.

{ actually that's a good point- }

Actually, No idea if you remember we talked about it before but--I can probably say this since I know there's no chance of Beelzebub harassing anyone back home anymore--He's gone for good. Hard to feel down about it when that's over.

{ rinku pls... }

I mean I hope you wouldn't think me dying was great. But yeah. Someone made me realise we really don't have much for it here, so I'll do my best.

To start with it'll be within the centre itself, just because ideally we want to give people time to actually process things and y'know... get some training in. But that honestly sounds like a great idea for when their sentence does actually end. Most prisoners are probably just released without anything, so at least having temporary housing until they find a place and a job would really help.

[A wolfman butler appears on your screen Ezra. He is holding his chin in thought for just a few seconds.]

Often etiquette and manners suffer during incarceration. I would gladly volunteer to assist with this rehabilitation project. If you are accepting volunteers at this time, of course.

Also, my condolences for your recent passing. You are taking care of yourself and allowing for time to recover, yes? Have you been sleeping well?

I knew there was a reason I liked ya.

{ hilariously he recognises him from the posters- }

I mean I still have to go through an application process with people to ensure no one is trying to get in to cause further problems, if you're okay with that I can take your name and get in touch?

And it's fine, really. The thing here was really stupid timing that I'm mostly just kicking myself over.

I see. Then perhaps a consultation with one of the staff near the end of their sentence. Or with me. To understand what they want to focus on. That way the hotel can prepare therapy sessions, career training, and a room for them, should they elect to come to the hotel after.

I'd also be glad to teach singing or instrument playing as a rehabilitation class at the center.

Are you certain? Dying twice in a short span of time… I’m deeply sorry you went through that, and if there’s anything I can do at all for you…

I can help, nanoda! I can teach them acrobatics, nanoda! It's good work, nanoda!

[Bu-Ling is bouncing on the balls of her feet as she talks, so the background's a bit shaky.]

[He recognizes Ezra from the posters as well.]

Of course. Von Lycaon. I am available any time for the application process.

If you are sure. I do have a tea brewing method to encourage quick and deep sleep. Should you be interested. I could not mind preparing it for you.

{ ok but. chipp is part of the reason this is happening. how does he respond to this without saying that outright though bc that's weird and a bit embarrassing right??? }

I wouldn't exactly be worthy of Gabriel's faith in me if I didn't keep trying to help people, y'know? But uh. Thanks.

That does remind me though. I promised to let you know if I unlocked all that, right? Turns out I had a trip home during the whole being dead thing and I may have unlocked his blessing fully now. Surprise?

{ is it so bad when you get kissed back to life in one of those scenarios though- (yes, yes it is) }

I mean I wouldn't say no to seeing a friend.

[That does make it less bad, but still bad.]

Shall I bring you some baked goods while I’m at it?

[Hey now, if anything, Chipp would be flattered!!
(And pleased. That's the whole reason he kills criminals in the first place, after all.)]

Tell me if you need someone to talk to them from their level, ouais? You know I been there.
Not all of'em are gonna wanna talk to someone who ain't been behind bars before.

As for your blessin'... kinda wondered where you been! Noticed I weren't seein' you 'round the city much as I usually do.
Guess we gonna need to rent out the Titanic Dome sometime soon, huh?

Yeah, that sounds perfect. A lot of the time people aren't given much choice and some will be more ready than others, right?

You can sing and play an instrument though?

{ why is that a surprise- }

{ ok to be fair to bu-ling... he did not specify WHO could apply but uh- }

Uh. Are you old enough to work yet?

I can work, nanoda! I worked all the time back home, nanoda!

[That's not a good thing.]

I'm 12 now, nanoda!

Awesome. Then I'll be in touch in the next few days. I promise it's nothing long or weird, it's just to understand everyone's experience and expectations.

But really, yeah I'm sure. Both times I was trying to save someone else, it may have sucked but I won't lose sleep over it.

Then how do I sign up? Is there an application process?

Oh yes I can. Well I play multiple instruments. [He busts out the golden fiddle out of nowhere. Just because.]

I could sing for you sometime, if you'd like.

{ to be fair, now he's said the rest he may as well be honest about it- }

To be fair, that's why the idea occurred to me to begin with. And... { honestly chipp's wording there is just unfortunate. he's been behind bars, just not prison bars. } I probably know in a different sense. But that. That isn't really something for here.

{ certainly not in front of everyone. }

And yeah, there was a whole thing. A lot happened. I have no idea what my limits are still but it's worth trying to figure out I think.

{ gotta look on the bright side- }

Sure, why not? I'm in the city now anyway, so I could meet you somewhere to catch up?

...

[He's quiet for a moment, thinking on that - the phone managing to pick up the soft beeps and blips from his helmet as if it's trying to convey the fact that his mind is working.]

Do you... need to talk one on one? I ain't busy.
