{ 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.

[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.

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.]

Hey, at least I didn't make the post all about you being a dumbass. Even if you would have deserved it.

[Instead he basically insulted all summers.]

Good luck with your business though. Hopefully I won't see you as one of the convicts - I know a certain cop who would looove to see me behind bars.

[He really needs to ~~torture~~ stop bullying Hijikata so much.]

[ On one hand, this sounds like a great idea -- offering assistance to the people who need it the most. On the other, something about the word reform grinds his gears a little bit. He never needed to be "reformed", and neither did the orphans that Historia took in. What they needed had been a change of circumstances from the ones designed explicitly to exploit them, that's all. ]

[ So he doesn't immediately jump to it, instead observing Ezra with a level stare. ]

[ (He'd say some things about the dying, but if Annie was there, he trusts it has been taken care of in the appropriate way, at this point.) ]

Are you planning to actually help them, or just slap them on the shoulder, tell them crime is bad and expect them to starve rather than steal a loaf of bread next time?

[ ...so people were going to jail for pretty small things where he's from, if they got caught. Don't worry about it. ]

[ At least, from his tone that's a bit less tirely level than usual right now, it should be clear enough he knows the ins and outs of this situation extremely well. On a personal level, even. ]

I'm sorry to hear about you dying. If you need someone to talk to, I can listen.

[He definitely looks distraught. Dying wasn't a small deal even if you could return back to life here.]

Ezra!

[A little distressed!

He knows about the plans - they talked about them, Ezra already knows he approves. He'd also been aware the man managed to die, thanks to his occasional browsing of network chatter. Just how he'd be feeling when he came back, though, Edmond hadn't been sure of.]

Are you-- Are you all right? [His voice is very concerned.] Do you need anything?
