I'm so happy to be back in a time with raspberry hair gel.

[motioned]

I bet most of us are glad to be back here after all that.

[A pause; her voice is without it's usual spirit and cheer, though not downright somber. She's just exhausted, even after a full rest.]

I hope all of us are okay after everything that happened, but I'd like to make sure, too, so... If anybody knows someone who was hurt, or something worse than that, or knows people who are okay, I'd like to know.

I hope anyone who got hurt is seeing a doctor, too, even if they think it might not be that serious. It's always better to be safe than it is to be sorry. I'm sure you'll be glad for it in the end, and your friends, too.

And? How did you present-day types like my era? Hardly, I'll bet. Don't worry, I agree with you. All things considered, it was shit. That is, unless you were wealthy and well-respected, but even then, I'd be sad to miss plug-in night lights and Angry Birds and ModCloth. Actually, even here was a little forward of when I came from... A little west, too. [Though his Queen's English surely gave that away already.

Alois is all dressed up to go out, just doing up the gold buttons on a winter coat as he stands in front of the NV.] I hope you all understand, [he says, chin tilted down to watch his fingers, and a little bit solemnly,] how lovely we can have it here.

Ciel should be home soon. [His head's up again, and he tugs his coat down to straighten it, and then reaches out of frame. There's a rustling, and when his hands are back in view, they're holding a bouquet of white roses and baby's breath.] I'm going to see him now, and he's feeling better. Should get some cookies from the kitchen before I go... [Cos fuck hospital rules on food. He'll probably end up getting in trouble with the nurses... He reaches out to switch off the video, but pauses to add: ]

Times like these we get our hands dirty, don't we?

[rewritter]

Well, that... was an ordeal...

Can we make an agreement to never do that again, or is even that asking too much of the Core now.
