Just 'woke up' - came back to life? - in my bedroom. With a handy 'Thanks for Donating' sticker on my chest. Wow. Thanks, Deities. Really. You couldn't have just asked? You had to have me ripped apart by a -

Damn.

Well, I'm not even City Dead, just really alive, so that's something, I guess, but I don't think the memory of... of what happened to me is going away anytime soon.

Mara? I'm back. I'm home and I'm back and I'm alive and thank you so much.


[Private to Derek]
Derek? I'm here. I'm alive. I'm... it's okay. And I'm so sorry you had to see all that.

Where are you? I... I need to see you and touch you and know that I'm real and whole again.

[End Private]

The Magic Shop is closed for the rest of the week - unless some of the other employees want to open it. I'm staying close to home. Happy Thanksgiving.

Glad I was able to avoid all the beer yesterday. I did get an unpleasant shower surprise and was determined enough to do a very quick wash off in the ocean. I'm still shivering just at the memory.

Anyway, given the hangovers some of the people I've run into today have had, I'm doubly glad I passed.

Private to Derek

Hey... are we...? I mean, after that curse...

We said a lot of things and... I just want to make sure we're okay. I want us -

I know a lot of things came out that we - that I - hadn't planned on admitting, but...

I still, you're still my best friend here and I don't want that to change.
