After some delay...

I have finally re-verified to the computer system that yes, this is me. So I suppose I should make it official to everyone - yes, this is me, and I am back.

To sum up the pertinent points:
- Yes, Attilan vanished and came back.
- No, I'm not sure how it happened. May be classified as a matter of Attilan national security, I don't really know.
- Yes, I look older. While six weeks seem to have passed for you guys, it was closer to two and a half years for those of us on the island.
- Yes, I still remember everyone, although the whole six weeks/two years thing is difficult to adjust to.
- No, I'm not certain what Crystal and Medusa are up to. I know they have government issues to handle, and are likely to probably be quite busy. The Elpis folks could probably tell you more there than I could. But the last I saw of them, they were fine.
- Yes, Medusa got married and is now the Queen of Attilan. Crystal has been restyled as an actual Princess, so those folks who kept calling her that anyway, now it's accurate.

But all things considered, I should be back to work in a few days once I refamiliarize myself with the system, my lab, and everything else. For the moment, it's just a big game of catch-up.

Mate, whilst a spirited sense of competition is universally acknowledged to improve the social fabric, I feel you are carrying the spirit of one-upsmanship a bit far. Let us examine the facts. I merely went to Europe. You, I am to understand, buggered yourself off onto an island nation shifted out of normal time and space. This I call excessive. Nevertheless, welcome home.

And thank you, for from your absence I have learned a valuable life-lesson. Henceforth it shall be my personal policy to assume the missing to be alive and in another dimension unless presented with physical evidence to the contrary. After having a read of the files, I feel it is the most logical conclusion.

No work! Come have pizza!

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

It totally saves on bruises at least.

[x-roulette.livejournal.com]

Don't do that again.

No giant rush, but do come and see me? You can't miss me. I'm very slow-moving these days.

Save some for me when I get back from Harry's!

Excellent. How's tomorrow?

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

DUDE. UNFAIR.

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

Dude. Tomorrow, we'll get the gang together, pizza. Promise.

I told you, but no one listened to me.
