[Sounds come first, scraping and rustling with a black screen until the viewfinder is finally shifted enough to catch a glimpse of the outside of the Moon Knight's HQ before turning fully and capturing a very haggard, exhausted, pale looking Lie Ren, one hand picking bits of crystal out of his long unkempt hair and the very red remnants of what killed him on his face and neck. Not scars exactly, and they'll fade with time, but for now it's a painful reminder on his skin of what happened to him.

He blinks in an almost startled manner after a moment, seemingly catching his own face in the video. He quickly tugged a hood over his head then shut the video off, opting instead for text.]

I'm back.

I know people were looking for me.

I'm sorry for being the cause of worry.

I'll be heading back home shortly.

[He doesn't offer an explanation for anyone who missed what happened. If asked he'll say, but he won't name the person responsible if it's not already known.

He could also be run into on his way back to Level 2, if anyone chances upon him that way.]

Aren't we all just sort of an amalgam team at this point anyway?

[NO HE LIKES THAT IDEA DON'T JOKE ABOUT IT]

[schmisse]

I'd hate to leave Yang behind... I guess we'll have to be a six-person team.

[sleepinglotus]

Yang can come along, too. She can help me get better at video games.

[schmisse]

... Seriously?

[ Ren, she thought you were the smart one. ]

[sleepinglotus]

What? I can like video games and books just the same. ... maybe not the fighting ones, though. She got annoyed the last time I tried to pick apart some character's form.

[schmisse]

She didn't punch you, did she?

[ You know how Yang gets... ]

[sleepinglotus]

Lightly on the arm.

[But of course for Yang "lightly" still leaves a damn bruise.]
