[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! ))

[Barabas will still likely take his chances. But he nods, offering another shadow of a smile.]
I'll call before I show up. That seems like better manners. But maybe later today?
[Go wash, Hank. It'll make you feel better anyway. Salt water is the worst.]
I can supply a glass.

[Hank runs a hand through his hair. When he'd answered this post in the first place he hadn't really- Well, yeah. Obviously. When he offered he was only thinking- well, it'd been a split-second thing, a little thought, fuck, wouldn't it be a relief-
And it's happening now, probably. So.
Hank digs around in his head, trying to remember how this sort of thing goes.]
Uh. See you then.
[That's how people sound when they're not realizing all at once that offering to be a welcoming, friendly human being for a while is setting this guy up for disappointment. Right? That's what normal sounds like? Well, it's happening. Time to figure out the bare minimum of hygiene standards in this situation.
Hank gives a self conscious little smile, then cuts the feed.]
