[All things considered, he sounds horribly casual and even a bit uninterested for all intents and purposes.] Well. This week has been rather interesting thus far, hasn't it? Knowing Vatheon, we're probably due for some grand finale. I would be lying if I said I wasn't a bit eager to see what it is.

[There was quite the long pause before he he spoke once more. One might have been led to believe that he might have hung up but nope. He hadn't.]

Oh. America went home, too. [...yes. He did hang up that time. It had seemed like an afterthought to add the small announcement, but it was his way of dealing with things.]

...it figures. Seeing I don't think he's the kind to leave without telling me he found a new place, I think it's a safe bet to say that Korea went home.

So. Yeah. Minus one.

Apologies all around. I've been acting like a jerk lately and for that, I'm sorry. I was way out of line. At least... now I have a better idea where true friendships lay and who really is only a fair weather friend or doesn't really give a care. Which is fine. Sometimes it's something we need to figure out for ourselves.

Anyway, I think I'm still going to avoid most forms of contact that are not text or voice until this bubble thing passes as well. It seems to have the potential to become rather... messy.



/--PRIVATE TEXT TO AMERICA

I'm sorry for thinking you cared. So, incidentally, have fun being a jerk. I'm going to save myself the effort and trouble of doing this again in the future by blocking you. Trust me. It's easier this way.

/--PRIVATE TEXT TO N

Sorry for everything lately.

/--END PRIVATE

...sorry I haven't been doing much of anything lately. I know I made a few promises to people and that I've just been dragging my feet about them. So for that, I apologise. I know I owe a picnic to Gracia and camping to Red.

And finishing that organisation for Alfred. Now that things are settling down again, I'll finish up and set down a time for practice for those interested in baseball. More than likely, it'll be this weekend, so take that as a head's up.

I'll eventually get to everything else sometime. I promise.

Sorry for taking so long, everyone.
