[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.

[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'.]

When I first got here, many people assumed because I was a soldier that I was here because I was fighting on the wrong side, and I needed to learn that my methods were wrong or that I was fighting for a cause that didn't need to be fought for. They were wrong.

I was here as an inmate because I let myself get so caught up in the mistakes I'd made that I lost sight of what we were actually fighting for, and wanted to throw my life away at any opportunity instead of caring about what we were trying to accomplish. I'm leaving to finish what was started because I know it's the right thing to do.

I may be back, if given the opportunity. But I can't spend any more time here acting like I don't have anywhere else to go.

[Filtered to Friends.]

Thank you.

[Private to Olive]

I don't think where I'm going is a suitable environment for a cat.

I've had enough of this place.

I've spoken about pacifism at great length here. That it can be achieved and upheld, but now I'm beginning to think I was wrong.

I want to see it from the other side. I want to be able to defend myself here. I'm tired of being the victim and being seen as weak.

I want to learn how to use a weapon.

[Private to Cooper]
Where are you?

[ooc: Heero is unaffected, and will not be trying too hard to act like he is. His counterpart is a pacifist, basically defenseless and tries to help as much as he can, and acts a lot like Relena, which will mean Heero is now majorly drawing from his experience with her to try to approximate how to act.]
