♕ |[ Day 283 ]| Video;
[It's been a while since Neil addressed the Network, but here he is, folks, wide-eyed and eager.]

Is this a Visitors' Day? I thought it might be, because there are so many new people, and they haven't said anything about new inmates. I wasn't really sure if you had them here.

If there's anyone here from the City-- or anyone who visited the City, too, or from home, if anyone's come that far-- I'd like to say hello. My name is Neil, I used to run the bookshop called Bilton and Scaggs and I put on plays, from time to time.

[He grins.]

Or if you're new, and you'd like to say hello, that's great too! I hope you enjoy your visit. I know it's an odd place, but it's nice. And if it's anything like this used to be in the City, it shouldn't be long.

	[Who else could be so charmingly flustered by the technology? The headsets have taken getting used to-- Neil always did prefer to write to the Network than to speak to it-- but a few weeks in, he’s mostly gotten used to it.] Ohmygod, Rosella, I’m so glad you’re here!

	[...Aha! There it is. She's got it now, she thinks--and sure enough, there's Rosella, blinking a little in wonder but smiling prettily just in case she's done it properly.] Neil! Oh, there you are! My, these rather are a bit different from the usual, aren't they? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[As though you could smile unprettily, princess.] They're a little tricky, but when you get the hang of i-- well, at least you can have your hands free. How are you? Have you been back at home since we had to leave? How long has it been for you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Oh, I'm just lovely, thank you! Things have been a bit, um...well, complicated since I've been home, yes, but it's all been quite the adventure, too! Mother and Daddy send their love, of course, and Alexander--well, of course you remember Alexander! He met a lovely girl by the name of Cassima and I rather think he's set on courting her, too!

[And that's the news from Daventry. c: ]

Do I look that much different? It's only been a year or two at most, you can't possibly think I look much older!

	A year or two? It hasn't even been a month! [Three weeks, really; Neil has been keeping count of the days, unable to entirely let go of the City, even if that measure of time has little meaning here.] I'm glad everyone's doing well-- send them my best, and Todd's too, I'm sure, of course!

	A month! Well, I...that is, I suppose that's really not so surprising, is it? The City was so often the same way, too, what with people going away for years and all, when it only seemed a handful of days for us. But of course, I'll have to take them some good news of you and Todd! What have you been up to...er, here? Everything's all right, I hope? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I guess it's nothing new, but it's strange being anywhere but the City, still. You've hardly changed, though.

[He grins brightly, and the truth is he'd probably say it even if she had, because she wouldn't have changed in any of the ways that matter. Rosella is always going to be one of his favorite people.]

We're doing all right. It's-- smaller, and there aren't exactly curses, though sometimes things happen that are a lot like curses. We've been trying out different classes and things. We joined the baseball team, too.

	Er. A...baseball team? That's a bit rude to the poor ball, isn't it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What do you mean? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	...Well, er, calling it base, rather? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, no, that's what you call the game-- because you have to run around and touch all the bases after you hit the ball, before they tag you out with it. (Reply to this) (Parent)
