I'm coming home today. Don't argue. [/Filtered]
[Broken Filter to Helios Sprensonne, Mizuno Ami, Archie Kennedy, and Alf]
Ami and I were talking[/Filter End], and we thought...
[Long, tense, horrified pause as Giles realizes that his filter just broke. He practically trips over his words when he speaks ]
...check that thought. If the four of you could just...let me know that you're, youre still here, I would greatly appreciate it. [Even though he knows that only three voices will be replying, he needs to know which three voices.]
Then we can move on to other matters with regards to our project.

S-So, I...was invited to come over for dinner.
Granted, I really only know two of you, so...hello. Nice to meet you.
[/Filtered]
[...right. Now that all of that is out of the way, it's time to deal with more pressing matters this morning.
Chiefly...
The video feed turns on, showing the Battle Dome clinic ward. It turns until Giles' bedside table is shown. And the floor around it. And an unused bedside table from an empty bed.
Every flat surface for five feet is covered in bright flowers of all kinds. The effect is probably a little overwhelming, which is why Giles soon switches back to voice, sounding more than a little helpless and bewildered.]
Does anyone know what I might be able to do with a...truly exorbitant amount of flowers? And would anyone be willing to assist me in getting them there?
[A slightly bemused sigh.]
And to anyone who might have visited? I appreciate it, even if I wasn't quite aware enough at the time to say as much. But I assure you, I'm fine now. Hopefully, this will be the last time I find myself seriously injured for a good long while. And to think, I thought commandeering the manual would help me understand this place. I should have known better - computers can't be trusted.
Did I really miss the New Feather cycle? I'm sorry about that, everyone. S-Still...to all the New Feathers...well, welcome to Luceti. We're sorry to have you, but with any luck things will be far less difficult than they have been this past June. I would say that they couldn't get worse, but I know better, and I hope you do, as well. But, um [damn it, Giles, Paprika told you to cheer up a bit] really, June was an...anomaly, as far as horrible occurences goes. Really, under ordinary circumstances, it's quite nice around here. Lovely weather. Thankfully you arrived before winter hit. F-Feel free to ask any questions. I haven't been here very long, but I have friends who have been.
[Catch Giles around the village today. For a while, he'll be busy relocating the flowers out of the Battle Dome. Then a stop off at Seventh Heaven for real food. Finally, home again, home again. Giles will spend the rest of the day working on The Unnamed Boat.
He'll spend most of that night patrolling. He can't spend the rest of his time here jumping at the wrong shadows. With his recent encouter with Grell hanging over his head, it's gotten a little easier to shake off his fear of Angel.]
((ooc: The PMK crew can feel free to ignore the filter if they want - this is largely Giles' attempt not to walk into a house that's filled mostly with people he doesn't know. We can handwave the introductions if you want.))

Re: [Action]
Date: 2011-07-30 12:15 am (UTC)Although, I must admit, I quite enjoy niceness myself. What I mostly enjoy is being taken even remotely seriously.
[...and watch how some of his friends treat him sometimes, Ginia. Consider how not seriously he must have been taken by the general population back home.]
