[Sheska's sounding a little breathless and wilted at the moment.]

I'm sorry to interrupt your weekend, but I thought everyone should know... The release list has arrived. Since the two officer who would normally be in charge of this sort of thing are out of commission for the moment I, um, I thought I'd give everyone the bad news. S-so here it goes.

The released persons over the last month include:

America Chavez
Aradia Megido
Archer
Billy Kaplan
Damian Wayne
Hanamura Yosuke
Ian Yorkland
Jason Todd
Link
Namine
Peter Parker
Ryu
Sif
Stephanie Brown
Terra
Texas
Thor Odinson
Tommy Shepherd
Vanitas
Wally West
Yatogami Kuroh


I... I'm sorry. If there are any questions I can answer, I'll do my best. [A thoughtful beat.] Unless it's about the heat or the air conditioning, because I'm afraid the police don't know anything about that, and are suffering as well. It's not something we can fix, unfortunately.

oh no!!! Grossuke!!

[freezespirited]

Sif and Thor. He followed her.

[librariansheart]

I-I don't know... It could have been that way.

[freezespirited]

Since she isn't here to beat me up for suggesting that they're a couple, I can say that.

[peckish4action]

Thank you for letting us know.

[librariansheart]

You're welcome. I'm sorry that it isn't better news.

[peckish4action]

Who knows? Maybe that is the better news - for them.

Thank you for the update.

[librariansheart]

I only wish it were better news. If there's anything I can do, please don't hesitate to let me know.

[thneed]

I was kind of hoping Aradia wasn't actually going to be on this list.

You sound pooped.

[librariansheart]

I'm sorry... I know you two were friends.

I'm all right. Just... just hot, I think. It's very draining. A-are you doing all right?

You alright, love?

[Well, she looks just as wilty as she sounds. Overwarm, possibly dehydrated, everything about her implying a weariness pulling at her. But she does manage a smile for him.]

I'm all right. I didn't...

[She shakes her head.]

I didn't expect to be doing this, that's all. I didn't lose anyone myself this time, but it's a long list. A lot of people. Which means a lot of people are hurting right now. And this heat isn't making it any easier on anyone. But I thought they should know.

[dontmindmepleasecontinue]

...You should have mentioned the list had come in, Sheska-kun, I could have taken care of it.

[librariansheart]

No, Koizumi, you're on leave. I'm not. You should be resting, and healing.

[tookthename]

[Wow, this round of releases didn't end well for Carol.]

Thanks for the information, Sheska.

[librariansheart]

I'm very sorry, Ms. Danvers. Can I, um, maybe bring you something, or help with anything?

[ricinbeans]

The DeLorean dude? Damn, man. This is harsh.

Yo, this is a shitty job they got you doin'.

[librariansheart]

Yes, I'm sorry... This list wound up much longer than we've had in a while - a lot of people are going to be affected, I think.

I'm not usually the one to deal with the releases, but with our acting commander out of the office at the moment... I thought maybe it shouldn't wait for him to get back.

[trytryagain]

Aradia.

[librariansheart]

I'm afraid so. Is there... anything you need? Anything I can get for you, or take care of?

[badnewsboy]

I'm aware.

[librariansheart]

I'm sorry that it isn't something better. I don't know if I could bake in this heat, but should I maybe bring you some ice cream?

[Quiet and concerned and calm, for once, Aisling looks silently into the camera a moment before speaking.]

It's cooler under the trees, and there are less people here, if you wanted.

[trytryagain]

Where are you?
