No one went missing or anything during that last shift, right?

[That is actually meant as a sort of all-call for his family as a whole (cousins, nephews, nieces ... as much as he tried to, he didn't manage to pick up on everyone over the past few days since that shift) as well as friends, but being that he didn't bother filtering it,

[Chime in you say? WELL, Selphie can chime in no problem!]

Selphie is still alive and kicking!

[once_knighted]

[Oh, hello old neighbor--]

Heh, good to know. This place would be way too quiet if you up and vanished at any point.

[boomchucka]

It'd be pretty boring too!

[once_knighted]

No kidding! Guess it's a good thing you're still around, huh? [A quick pause, then--] So, did you get hit by that thing, too?

[falenandawn]

We all got separated at first, but now everyone is accounted for on our end, Uncle.

Are you ok?

[once_knighted]

All right, good.

[He wasn't completely sure about his sister's kids, after all, so hearing that is relieving.]

It got a little hectic for us, but everything's fine over here, too.

[falenandawn]

I'm glad to hear that. Everything seemed a bit chaotic for a while there.

At least this time it was something easily fixed. [Even if moving your things back home was an inconvenience.] We don't have time for much else with the festival coming up.

[once_knighted]

Yeah, no kidding. [Shrug, even if the journal probably can't pick it up.] Hopefully whoever's in charge of setting things up doesn't do a rush job because of all this.

[returninghope]

What Frey said. Took us a while to track down Kaori, but she's alright.

Why, do you need something, uncle?

[once_knighted]

I see ... [... Yeah, he can see why that could've taken some time. Well, as long as she's fine, then that doesn't matter much.]

Hm? ... No, nothing like that. Just checking in with everyone, that's all.

[returninghope]

Is everyone accounted for then? [It's a large family. :|a]

[once_knighted]

Just about. I still haven't heard from a few people, but ... [... those are mostly on his own uncle's side, and from what he managed to glean, he's handling that. So, he's not going to really concern himself there.] ... Well, I'm pretty sure they're all right, too.

[corrinesbell]

[emerges out of the woodwork to bother him, as usual]

...That's a lotta swords.

[action]

[once_knighted]

[... fffff, cousin. Yuri sighs a little.]

I'm gonna tie a bell on you someday, you know. [But eh, that sounded more on the level of "geeeeeeez" than anything serious. But anyway--] ... I'm not sure which one of these I'm gonna use yet.

[action]

[corrinesbell]

So you think the bell'd ring and warn you, or something?

[studies the swords he has laid out on the ground, with the puzzled face she usually wears around weapons like that. Sheena fights with her fists. Small knives if necessary. It was a war and a half getting someone to even teach her that..]

...Good luck deciding, I guess. I'm outta the tournament, but I'll watch you get beat up.

[action]

[once_knighted]

Well, yeah.

[But watch him get "beat up"? HAH. Yeah, right. ... Well, maybe a little beat up. It's not a fight if he doesn't get a little hurt, right? Regardless, he smirks at that.]

... Heh, like I'd let myself get beat up. The only thing you'll get to see is me taking everyone else down.

[seiriald]

It took a long time to get home. [All three brothers are incapable of tracking her down, it seems.]

[once_knighted]

Not too long, I hope. [Considering her condition, he can understand why it could've taken a while. But ... well, he'll be keeping that to himself.]

[seiriald]

I don't think Dad was happy that none of the boys could find me easily. [Wise move there, Yuri. She loves you as an uncle and all but she would still likely snap at that.]

[once_knighted]

I can't really blame him for that. [He probably wouldn't have been thrilled about it either if he knew about it beforehand.] Things were pretty crazy that day, though ...
