History is the version of past events

[There's a clearing of a throat, yet the voice sounds rather unused. Because for a week it hadn't been used at all.]

Lavi here, just saying that I'm back and lessons will continue like normal. First group, I'll see you tomorrow, second group the next day. I'm still not up to having a class right now. However if you need help with something I'm on the top floor, room 905. Sorry to all those I worried, I just...needed to get away. [Again.]

I see that we got another new round of people, sorry that you're stuck here with us. But we can always use more hands on getting this place ready to survive another winter. My name's Lavi and I'm the resident encyclopedia if you will, I know a couple of languages and am in the process of teaching Russian to a fair number of your fellow kidnapped. If you'd like to join up, let me know. If you have any questions not answered, you can ask me if you like and I'll try to answer them the best I can. Our normal Q&A-er for newcomers has managed to get himself lost again.

[Private to MIKK (AU)]

You mind having a spar with me, I still need to let out some steam. I'd ask Kanda but... Not ready to see his face yet.

[Private to CROSS and/or LINK (DGM) and ALLEN (if he's around)]

Have you seen Allen lately? I don't think he's gone home, Libitina should have left some kind of marker if she had lost her hold on him or something.

[Private to LENALEE]

Are you still here...?

[Everyone should have found a small bundle of food and some first aid items wrapped in a blanket. It was separated to make sure that everyone got the same amount of the items. But there was an apple in every bundle! And if there are pets, some extra food for them.]

[Hours later]

Hope everyone got everything alright, made sure the rooms were occupied before I left things. It's all that was in the first pile of leavings at the bridge. I know some of it might be stale but it's all that they cared to leave us.

[Grins] At least we know there are some compassionate hearts out there.

[Hesitates a moment, unsure if he should lock this or not and decides not to.] Karkat, if you guys have the words you want in the pamphlet ready I've found some paper that'll work for what you want.

[Another pause] Anyone know if Allen and two-spot are back?
