This is Arthur. [He pauses for a beat.] I'm looking for any familiar faces, so if you're out there, drop me a line.

[Especially you, Ariadne.]

[ooc: lolol this is the most low effort post; I'm sorry.]

Yep. Boring, real-world stuff. [Her look turns a bit wry. After everything she experienced on the Barge, on top of dream sharing, well. It's kind of amazing she can even stand it.]

How have you been? Barge hasn't kicked you around too much, has it?

[paradoxlol]

Must be quite a change from the Barge.

[Arthur shrugs slightly.] No, it's been pretty quiet here for me. You've got your usual floods and deadly ports, but they haven't hit me hard.

[buildindreemz]

A lot safer, anyway.

[She tilts her head a little, a curious look in her eyes.] What about Perry?

[paradoxlol]

We've been working on things, but it's slow going. [Pause.] I think he's making progress. [He wants to say he'll be home soon, but he doesn't know if that's true.]

[buildindreemz]

Progress is good. I'm glad he's still there, at least. [So maybe she's been a little worried that Perry would vanish and Arthur would get reassigned and have to start over again from scratch or something. This? Sounds better than her worst-case scenario.]

But if you don't hurry up, I might have to find another point man to work with. [JOKING.]

[paradoxlol]

[He smirks.] Are you giving me a deadline?

[buildindreemz]

Would it get you back here faster? [Her own smile turns almost sheepish - like she's a little embarrassed to admit how much she misses him, even though it should probably be self-evident.]

[paradoxlol]

I do work better under pressure.

[buildindreemz]

In that case, consider yourself pressured.

You want to be here for my graduation, right? And I'll want to show you my thesis project. I think you'll like it.
