[While he'd only been effected by pestilence, Tadashi hasn't kept up with much of the network or anything else happening. He doesn't know there's two other plagues happening or even that it was a plague. What he does know is he desperately needs some time away to think. About a lot of things.

But first thing's first.]

Hey. Been busy the last couple of weeks - have you moved to the school yet?

[pushtheboundaries]

[on the bright side, Tadashi asking this means he probably doesn't know about the whole Incident, which means he won't ask about it, which means Callaghan won't have to talk about it.

still, he does hesitate to respond. not that it can really be...noticed...with the medium.]

I moved on the first.

[a few moments later;]

How are you doing?

[tadeadshi]

[And he's not exactly the most forthcoming with honesty either, Callaghan asking that. Unpleasant dreams and then nightmares, about his friends and himself and the whole situation.]

Remember sometimes I'd fall asleep in Fred's chair for a power nap and wake up worse?

About like that.

[pushtheboundaries]

My sympathies. For what it's worth, I think a lot of people have had it rough the past few days.

[tadeadshi]

Seems like it.

What about you?

[pushtheboundaries]

I'm just enjoying the new campus and being busy again. There's been a few quirks, but they're manageable.

[all he has to do is shove them in the closet]

[tadeadshi]

[Gosh Cal, we can't all shove our problems in closets.]

Yeah? Mind if I come see? Could use a break from packing.

[pushtheboundaries]

If you'd like, and wouldn't mind explaining what you're packing for.

[tadeadshi]

I'll be by in a few then.

Oh right. Forgot to mention, me and Hiro and the others are going out of town for a couple weeks. Kinda been planning it since before you got here.

[pushtheboundaries]

[erp. guess who still has a bruise or two?] What about tomorrow? I've got a few things to finish here for today.

As for your trip, you've been sitting on it for a while, then, haven't you?

[tadeadshi]

[Aahhh right, he. Probably should have asked first. He's used to the lenient schedule he can set for himself at StarkTech, he forgets.]

Right! Right sorry, tomorrow.

Yeah, since February.

[pushtheboundaries]

Tomorrow it is. [the bruises will be...a bit more less noticeable, then. they've already had a few days to heal, but...]

Where are you going?

[tadeadshi]

West coast. [Not 'home'. Can't go home, fricken alternate universes.]

How're you settling in?

[pushtheboundaries]

Going to explore 'San Francisco' at all? [what a weird name. seriously.] And I'm doing pretty well. It wasn't quite as difficult as I worried it'd be, but knock on wood.

[tadeadshi]

That's part of the trip, yeah. Wanna see what the big deal is about it.

And I told you you'd be fine.

[pushtheboundaries]

Let me know what's in SFIT's place.

And so you did. Knock on more wood that it'll stay that way, and that we won't have any more surprises like the last few days.

[tadeadshi]

Will do. Hopefully something interesting.

Agreed, let's hope so.
