Surpise.

TEXT TO MATT MURDOCK:

--I know you're all probably busy, so I'll keep this short. I just wanted to say I miss you.

I've lost my abilities before, too. I was very dramatic had swelling from having a building fall on me some trauma. It was very frightening.

I just want to say I think most you are doing very well adjusting. If anyone wants additional practice to take the edge off, I'm here for you.

Okay, I’ve been thinking. I’ve been here nearly a year (how the hell has it been that long already?) and I’ve seen a lot of shit that shouldn’t be possible. Turning into animals, randomly aging a handful of decades, turning into a man, essentially being kidnapped out of my bed for simulations I still don’t understand, living an entirely different life -- and as interesting as some of it has been, do we really know if it’s safe? Has anyone done any studies about that? We assume - or we’re told - that some of it is just Atlantis and it’s no big deal and it’ll go back to normal, but how do we know that for sure? Has anyone else ever wanted to look into what effects it all might have on us? And are there any limitations on who goes through it? Age limits? Do pregnant women ever get picked, and does that have impacts at all? (That isn’t any sort of hint, before anyone asks.) How does this change development on a cellular level? Do we know if it really is harmless, or is that something we’re all just trusting? Who or what really is behind it? I don’t trust easily. We shouldn’t trust easily.

I’m sure I won’t actually get answers that satisfy my questions. I mostly just wanted to know if other people have the same ones.

On behalf of the fir tree by the lake:

If there are picnics beneath this trees boughs, ensure that you pick up after yourself because when the rain comes the water that seeps into its roots is laced with the stench of people (and you should pick up your trash - that's from me).

Trees can speak to one another through a complex web of fungi that connect their roots to one another and they talk about us when we're scurrying about. They think it's funny when the breezes ruffle our hair and make us look unkempt.

They hope for rain and suggest we get stronger umbrellas or better yet, raincoats.

Anyone who wants to channel their feelings into some productivity can meet me at the base after dinner for additional training. I won't tell you not to let COS or the glitches get the better of you; it's good to feel what you're in. This life is tenuous and precious. We're at the mercy of forces outside of our control all while trying to save our own worlds and live a little while we're here.

So go ahead and feel it. But it's also good to give your feelings the legs they need to keep you moving forward. Consider it.

[MARCOS]

I read your exchange with Erik Lehnsherr. Your perspective was appreciated, I just want you to know that.

[CLAIRE]

That goes double for you.

MATT MURDOCK

Look what showed up by my bed yesterday.

KAREN PAGE & MATT MURDOCK:

Okay, so here's the deal. I'm not big on the whole bachelorette party scene, and I doubt Matt's dying for strippers, so I'm thinking the three of us get dinner together tomorrow. We can get a print out of Foggy's face so it feels a little more like he's here, too. Sound good?

MATT MURDOCK:

Still no cold feet?

We're back to business as usual; your training rotations start on Monday.

[CLAIRE & EDMUND]

Edmund, I wanted to reach out to you as a lawyer and a king. I know you've been through a lot and if it's a lot please feel free to say no. But do you have the ability to officiate a wedding? Let us know what you think.

[HERC & MARCOS]

Are we friends? I need us to be friends.

[CLAIRE]

Edmund isn't a priest. We can't have a Catholic ceremony.

[Matt Murdock]

Do you have that ring?

Hello. I understand that many are very tired of watching the games. But if someone could please help summarize events, I would greatly appreciate it. *

[COMMAND + LEADERS]

Certainly you know this already but I wanted to tell you that before I woke in medical, I was in another room entirely and there was something in my hand. Did you ... retrieve it? It felt ridge-like. Almost like a comb or a puzzle piece.

In the meantime, I am not interested in counseling or in sitting and thinking. Put me to work.

[ARENA]

There's a different energy in the air; smells like a storm. Those of you with (or without) the group should take shelter. The caves are probably the best place. If you need help getting there, I can come looking for you.

What's the goddamn point of I didn't think we needed another lesson in the fragility of life and in how quickly everything can change. From what I know of a lot of the places we're all from, we already knew that.

KAREN PAGE:

Hey. I'm sure this doesn't really need to be said, but can you help me keep an eye on Matt? Ezio and Leonardo were our first friends here - we were all friends in that alternate reality or whatever the hell that was before the two of us actually woke up in Atlantis. So this is ... pretty brutal, to be honest.

My compliments to the ladies of Atlantis. I didn't previously consider the ins and outs of your particular situation so I am taking this opportunity to be instructed.

Don't think, however, because I lost several inches and pounds, that training will be light. This body gives us the opportunity to cover a wide variety of different combat scenarios.

It's hard to keep to Lent when you're not in a place that you can feel appropriately comfortable to go without, particularly when you are not sure what without might be. As it is, I suppose the mission did my choosing for me. I was glad to go without the limits I'd placed on myself and glad to lend a few fists to beat back the COS. To the team who hosted me, I am thankful for your deferential treatment and your kind ability to trust a blind man.


To my training students: I'm back. I hope you were practicing.

[CLAIRE, EZIO, LEONARDO]

I'm home; it's been too long. I'm dirty and I smell like prison so don't come looking for me yet but tell me about what I missed. Particularly:

What happened to Leonardo with the Strigoi?

Why are you asking Claire questions about my sexual preferences?

[KAREN]

Have you been on a mission yet? You should consider going on one. And did you miss me?

[MARCOS]

Forgive me for having been away for a few days. I wanted to pick back up the thread of greeting we began.
