( Peter is clearly on top of something high when he turns the magitek on, magitek that isn't his but anyone who knows him will recognize him, whether his name is paired with the message or not. he hesitates before he starts, but he's hesitated about a week now. he's sort of out of hesitation time. )

I am guessing most of you remember me, but if you don't, my name is Peter. I just... I wanted to apologize. I get that doesn't mean much, considering how many people I hurt and I should have seen it sooner and prevented it in the first place. ( he shrugs, looking down and his shoulders in a weary slant. ) I'm still sorry. If you got caught up in it, or... you know someone that was. Sorry won't make up for it, but I... I'll do whatever it takes to make sure it never happens again.

( it means more honesty than he's ever had on a large scale, and that's the terrifying part of all this. he doesn't see an option in it anymore. ) I'm sorry I didn't talk about... what I can do. It's a long story. ( a long story with dead girlfriends, so no, he doesn't wanna super get into that part. ) I should have said something before it got so bad. It's too late to go back, but maybe I can say something now. If you want to know, I guess I'll try and answer.

( he looks uncomfortable, but hey. it's at least a start. last but not least, though, he sighs and rubs a spot behind his ear. ) If you don't want anything to do with me, after... ( after he went feral and tried to eat people, is the part he's not saying, ) I get it. I'll try and respect it, if I know, too.

( and, last but not least... ) I think we should consider the endgame of the people that were effected by Bristol. There's a lot to deal with after you get the cure, especially those in late stages of infected. ( speaking from experience... cough....... ) If we can get donations together, provide any kind of support for the people that got sick or ... lost someone. If we can I think we should.

( Peter definitely feels like he's talked enough (for prob the second time in his entire life, and coincidentally the first time was just a few days ago, w e i r d), so with that he's done. at least for now. he probably has a mystic samurai coach to keep an eye on, anyway. she might claim to be petersitting but if anyone is at risk of falling off the building, it's not Peter.

because he doesn't fall off of buildings, he jumps off of them completely intentionally. )

right, police department, sorry

( when Peter Parker texts with his brains, he makes shortcuts. lots, and lots, of shortcuts. )

well, woodhurst still has a longterm to worry about, though we're less capable of affecting it
we've got to do what we can to make this period of transition either, so longterm will fall into place on its own

i'd really appreciate the help. i can see what i can do about collecting names from anyone i cure... we can use those to find family, what have you, if you'd be interested in doing that?

[onethousen]

I'm interested in doing that yes. I'm quick, and I know more about Woodhurst since when we first got here, as far as going around. Plus I don't always need translations to read the names and things.

[webdesigned]

translations?

( since magitek was an automatic translator, it's easy to forget that not everyone Audentes shared a common language. )

i'd appreciate the help, definitely
i can compile some routes and details for you and get them to you soon, probably by tonight so you can start tomorrow

i'm peter. by the way

[onethousen]

To kana when it's all in English.

Thank you, Peter. I'll make sure to work extra hard.

And, um, I'm Chihiro Ogino. It's nice to meet you officially.

( ......................... even on this... post. with everything that it's in reference to, and, ah... yes. )

[webdesigned]

right
right, of course, sorry

( it shouldn't surprise him, but to be fair, his thoughts are all over the place these days. )

i can get you a route, so you don't have to worry about translations

yeah. it's nice to meet you too, chihiro.

( look... this conversation isn't uncomfortable, so it's practically a blessing. don't even worry about it, Chihiro... )

[onethousen]

What are you apologising for? It's okay. We all speak different languages, and the magitek helps with translating things when you use it right.

Thank you! That'll help keep things smooth. I know a lot more since we've been here for as long as we have, but it'll still help.

Oh, Peter! Do we know if there's anyone helping with lost pets? I know it's not as important as people are, but... before things got so bad, there were families and kids worried about their pets. Is there a pet shelter or something like that in Woodhurst? I never thought to go looking.

[webdesigned]

that's got to be hard, dealing with a language barrier. i'm glad you figured it out, though

i'm not really aware of any efforts to reunite owners with their pets, but that doesn't mean it isn't happening

there is a shelter, though, i remember taking pictures of the animals for the watch.
woodhurst watch. that's the paper here.

[onethousen]

It's not so different than what everyone had in Perdition's Rest. It was kind of weirder here? America has all these little things that are different and I didn't really know until we were here. Stuff is similar, but then it isn't, and that feels strange.

Maybe we can keep an ear out for that, too?

Oh! The Woodhurst Watch? I thought that was something completely different, but it's the paper? Are they running still or... will they be, I guess, will they be running soon.

[webdesigned]

if you ever have some pop culture questions, i can help, but ah... guess we're leaving here pretty soon

yeah, of course.

it closed down a few weeks ago, yeah, but i think they'll be opening again soon. i've gotten some calls about it.

( not that he'll be a helpful photographer for very much longer. )

[onethousen]

I might? Even back in Oska people say things on the jewelcomms that doesn't always make sense. Would that be okay?

That should be good! It's an important way to get information to people. Makes things a little more like normal.

[webdesigned]

of course. i'll do my best, anyway

( lbr he'll be the one making confusing pop culture references most of the time... sorry chihiro )

yeah, i think so too. and the people of woodhurst deserve to know what is happening. good and bad
