[So, Heero has been back for a few days, and it's sort of not really occurred to him that he hasn't actually formally announced this to anyone. He may have graduated, but he is still not exactly a totally functional human being in the traditional sense.

He switches on the video feed, and those who are familiar with him may notice he seems a little older, but otherwise seems much the same. Also he's alive! And a warden now! So those are pluses.]

My door handle broke, and the toolkit I've got with me doesn't have an appropriate screwdriver to put it back together. Does anyone have one I could borrow?

[Pause. Realization that that was a weird ass way of announcing to everyone that he was back.] For anyone interested, I've decided to come back as a warden. The situation at home has resolved itself.

[Private to Kay]

I visited Cooper. He's doing well.

[Private to David]

[And he is holding up his new PS3 controller.] Thank you?

[This is equal parts 'what am I supposed to do with this' and 'I'm surprised you didn't get me like, a decapitated small animal as a warning or something'.]

Oh, hey. You're alive. Guess that means the Playstation bomb was a dud, huh?

[Yes, Heero, that was David's idea of a joke.]

I got the book you sent. [Oh-so-nonchalantly:] Interesting read.

[most_feared]

Good. How's his family and uh... how did that situation resolve itself?

[truth_is_cold]

For the best, I hope.

You're looking fit. [Nietzscheans give weird compliments.]
