text - PSA from Attleton Guardian's office

The effect on Attleton has faded. The town is safe to return for all who have evacuated, life is starting to return to normal.

An announcement regarding the October projects which had to be rescheduled will follow once normal conditions have been restored, at which point the Guardian's office will also hear your concerns.

I'll take her home as soon as she's ready.

[He pursed his lips at the message. He'd fully been expecting to be called out on fleeing the city entirely, not be given extra responsibility as if he'd done nothing wrong. He won't bother expressing his doubts, it'd be a waste of time.]

Roger. Got a set time frame, or is it just "until we get back"?

[ Just because he's prioritizing doesn't mean that won't come up, sorry, Mobius. ]

Just a couple of days, a week at most? I have such a backlog, October was a total loss for all my projects.

Once I'm back we'll need to talk about you taking time off during a crisis, too. I understand you couldn't stay, but it was unfortunate.

We can just talk about it now and get it over with.

[If it's going to come up, then fine, but he's not going to sit around just waiting for it.]

I can assure you, "time off" is the last thing I considered it to be. I feel guilty as it is even without the nightmares I'm still reeling from.

Very well. That wording was unfortunate.

I know it wasn't a vacation. I understand it's a hard choice for you.

[ He hesitates a little before continuing. ]

I'm not angry. Just frustrated with the circumstances.

I'm glad you'll be coming home now.

You aren't the only one frustrated. Believe me.

[In fact, Mobius was kind furious with himself. The only way he could try to forgive himself for it was by saying he was getting Sonico out for her safety, but that doesn't excuse him for staying gone entirely.]

I'll work overtime for a while. It's not like I'll be getting any decent sleep anytime soon anyway so I may as well actually be useful.

[Kind of hard to get any sleep when you're haunted by the onslaught of imagery of your dead friends around you. hahaha fuck his life]

Work is the best way to move past such experiences anyway.

[ No, it's not, Cassian, but it's the only way he knows to help. ]

I'd appreciate your overtime right now. Not as a punishment, but to make up for Kay and me being out of town for a couple of days.

I do want you back. Your work is valuable.

[ Look. This. This is awkward. ]

[Wow. That statement sure is reminiscent of Caelestis. He'll just quietly disagree that "work" is the best remedy, but it's not like he has better options right now. The only solace about this conversation right now is at least knowing he isn't getting fired outright, even if he technically deserted.]

I'll be in the office as soon as I get Sonico home. I'll get Stardust to stay in the computers for a while longer each night to pick up the extra slack.

[Maybe he should just camp out in the office for a while. It was comforting to know that his Pokémon could take care of Quatre with no trouble while he'd been away.]

[ Yeah, unfortunately that's the only remedy Cassian knows. Yay for getting advice from someone with unhealthy, self-destructive habits. ]

[ Alright. I'll be at the station for most of the day, just tell me when you get here. Having Stardust back in the computers will be a relief.

It was strange using them without her running commentary. ]

[ Don't do that, Mobius, he'll disapprove and you're going to run yourself sick. ~~But if you do it while Cassian is on vacation he can't stop you.~~ ]
