[Someone has gone through several cups of herbal tea this morning before feeling assured that he's calm enough to come to the network. If he didn't have classes to teach today, he'd spend the entire day doing a thorough physical on himself. (Get your minds out of any gutters they've fallen into.)

As it is, after the initial incredulity, shock, horror, and rising fury passed, he's thrown on a button down shirt, shoved his hair out of his face, and settled down in front of the video camera.]

Broadcast to any students in his class
Good morning, students. If you're thinking about skipping class today because you're suddenly confused about which bathroom to use, don't. I'll be there and fair warning to SPU faculty, I'll be using the men's room.

Biochem students, yes, we will be having the scheduled exam.

Loki. I want a word with you.

Kevin Ford's NV is offline and Mimsy is gone.

I seem to be living alone now.

At the same time, two people I know from home are in the Port. Strange how things work here.

[Bruce's hair is wet from the shower and his bedroom is visible in the background, so he must be home.]

I'm home. It's a long story. Let's just say that no criminal charges need to be pressed.

Leonard, I'll be by this weekend. Scathach... bowling? Kevin, do you need me to go out for any groceries?

Email to SPU students in any of his classes
I hope you used the unexpected week off to keep up with the syllabus. If you haven't, you have the weekend to catch up on your reading. Classes will resume on Monday. Any scheduled quizzes will be deferred, but we will be doubling up on the coursework to get back on schedule.

If you had any parties planned, you should reschedule.

[ooc: Bruce is clearly no longer a plastic toy. Out of concern for Jesse, there are very few people with whom he will share the details of his week out of action.]

[Bruce is talking fast and sounds a little agitated. There's sound of movement in the background - sweeping, shuffling, papers being moved, things being picked up and put down, pillows being fluffed, etc.]

I'm ready for the fall term to start. Lesson plans ready, reading list prepared, books, papers, presentations, tests, quizzes, studies, labs. I might even get a haircut. Can I cut my own hair? I bet I could, but I don't know if I want to get in front of a class afterwards.

I need... Wait, I started this for something, then I got distracted. Backtracking - haircuts, study guides, the apartment's full of baked goods, um... right, where can I get electric toothbrushes? I have a project I promised someone we could try.

[ooc: Loki'd once again. Bruce is unaware that everything he touches becomes caffeinated, and since he's had just about zero caffeine intake for years, he is wired out the wazoo.]

[It's after the night siren and Bruce is looking frazzled, irritated, and... like he forgot that he'd been getting ready to sleep, since he's wearing boxers and glasses and apparently nothing else. As he settles his NV, a pair of mice skitter across the desk he's set it on. There are little movements in the background and Bruce has to stop and hop around, cursing under his breath as something apparently runs over his foot.]

Okay, look, the Darkness thing I'm up on, but is it common for random objects like, say, my pillow to turn into mice?

[It's Saturday morning and Bruce's NV is propped against something to show him seated with a cup of something (tea, considering the string and tag hanging over the cup's lip) in the foreground. People move behind him, some holding cups of coffee before they take seats out of the camera's view. Looks like he's at an outdoor cafe. It also looks like he's found a charity that offers clothes to the poor and/or new arrivals because he's wearing a slightly dingy pale green button-down shirt with the cuffs rolled up over his forearms and a couple of buttons left open at the collar.]

Hiring in Siren's Port doesn't go the way it does most other places, does it? I couldn't give the panel at Siren's Port University my CV and published papers for examples of my work, but a few days of filling white boards with equations seems to have done the trick. It's much faster than hiring back home, too, but I guess there's a lot of turnover around here.

In addition, I'm offering my services as an after hours tutor while the days are long and until I go home, whenever that may be. If you need help with math or science up to the post-graduate level in most disciplines, contact me [he leans forward and swipes his fingers over the display, and a link appears at the bottom of the video screen] and we can make arrangements.

In the meantime, I'm at Cafe Bijan, and there are a few people who have been helpful to me since I arrived that I would happily buy a coffee. [He smiles, and the humor is meant mostly for himself and maybe one other person.] Unless you don't drink... coffee.

[The man on the screen looks utterly exhausted. Haggard might even be apt considering the greyish pallor of his skin under his dark stubble and the even darker circles under his eyes. When the video jostles in his hold for a moment, it displays his bare chest before coming up to his face. He looks like he tried to wash off some combination of mud, sand, and various other things best not examined too closely and didn't do too great a job of it. Despite that, he tries for a tired smile and a finger taps the screen before withdrawing.]

First off, I'd like to say that Tony Stark makes the world's most durable phone. I'd do a testimonial commercial, but that might be in bad taste.

Second, I've read some of the information available and I think you'll understand it's not the easiest thing to swallow, but I'm going with it as a working theory for now. Don't ask why, it's a long story.

Third... [He trails off and turns his head away from the camera before looking back at it] I don't know what the third is, let's say I want to issue a blanket apology and leave it at that.

[ooc: The Hulk ended up getting stuck outside at sundown and fought (pounding and getting pounded on) all night. Between that and a chitauri invasion, I figure Bruce is feeling a little run down.]
