[Barabas looks subdued. It's not long after they were all snapped back out of Akvos. Long enough that he's clean and dry, looking less put together than usual, but at least not like the half-drowned ginger that he'd been when he landed back home.]

So. That was horrific.

[To the point and just this side of blunt. His usual, really.] I'd ask if everyone is okay, but I think that answer is probably already obvious.

[He sighs and manages a terse, tense almost smile.] I know a lot of us are still reeling. And still taking stock of who is still here.

In that vein... while what happened is still sharp in our minds, if anyone would like to stop by the office that Maes and I have established in the Temple to record their experiences, it would be appreciated. If we want to prevent this history from repeating, we'll need to learn from it.

I'll likely be here more often than not for a while, if anyone would like to stop by.

[Even if they're all exhausted and physically and emotionally drained.

He's quiet a moment, as if he's not sure of what he says next.]

But more than that... we need to allow ourselves to mourn as well. Perhaps a small vigil by the lake? Silence, remembrance... maybe candles? These things aren't my strong suit, but it might be a start at closure.



(( ooc: barabas will be hanging out in the office if anyone would rather an action thread. and really, anyone who'd like to add some words to the chronicle for akvos or anything else, please hit it up! ))

[Hank's on his bed, leaning against the wall. The room's almost dark, so he might look at least a little less hungover than he would if he opened up the windows. Fuck those windows. Who needs sunlight anyway.]

You know what'd give me closure? Some better goddamn intel next time. I don't even know what the fuck happened back there.

[He takes a breath, running a hand over his face, and turns his tone down a couple notches.]

I mean- I just- Okay. Obviously miss knows-everything is too busy talkin to her invisible friends to tell us what the fuck, so unless I'm just way behind the rest of the class what the hell's going on here might be somethin we need to start figuring out too. Maybe you oughta put a little section in your notes for uh- I don't know, unexplained shit, ongoing uh, magic bullshit disasters, or whatever. If anyone else heard what she said when we went into that, uh- that thing, in the water, before we saw, um... all those memories and shit, I think she said a little bit about what it was. That might be a place to start.
