[The phone pans quickly over grungy, torn clothes, an astonishing array of scrapes and bruises, and Homura's other hand, clenched tightly into a fist around something, before settling on her face.]

I'm back.

Is all of that nonsense over? 'Cause I'd like to leave my place without thinkin' somethin' else will explode.

You were all busy doing crazy island happening things while I, being the completely reasonable one here considering me and island happenings are not close friends in the slightest, avoided it by becoming a hermit. (Pizza making aside. Open late. You should try the breadsticks.)

I got like fifty thneeds done, invented stuff, wrote songs, and I learned about whales. Meenah, I made you an entire album about fish and sea-mammals. Remember I said I'd do that? 'Cause I did it~♪

Did you all know there was a bunch of whale shows on? Probably not! You all missed it. You wouldn't know unless you were partaking in the wonderful benefits of never ever leaving the house this weekend slash all of last week because I might've been doing it prior to the future nonsense for reasons.

It was inspiring. I think I'll do this for every event that may end in my brain getting scrabbled. I'd go full time hermit but business is business and business must grow and growing in a hermit shell seems impractical. And flowers are too pretty.

In other news: I think my roommate situation just got 110% cooler.

See, now that's how you do things right. Crazy people all running around, things exploding, clones or duplicates or whatever. Totally cool. Does this stuff happen a lot? I know that there were some people talking about "events" or whatever, but is it always that algebraic? I can't wait to see what happens next!
