[the video starts, and one can see the familiar face of Amy Dylandy come on. She's looking well (though it seems she's gained a slight amount of weight). She smiles, before speaking]

Hello, everyone. It's been a long time, hasn't it? I'm sorry I haven't really been active much these past few months. Things have been extremely busy for me lately.

... I heard about the things that have happened lately. I guess trouble finally started to crop up again, hasn't it? I really did pick a fine time to come back... But, all the same, I guess it's good if we're all aware of things, right?

[she laughs a little bit]

Anyway, I'd really like to catch up with anyone who's interested. And... maybe get to know anyone who's joined the Network recently, as well. For those of you who don't know me, my name is Amy. Amy Dylandy.

Amy!

[Rakka is all smiles!]

It's nice to see you again. It's been so long!

[Video]

[feastorfamine]

Hello, Rakka! It has been a long time... too long!

How are yyou? You're keeping well, right?

[Video]

[charcoalfeather]

I'm just fine. The move to Shepard's Haven went amazingly! [She's got her own new home, and the love of her life staying with her. What could be bad?]

Ahh.... we've had a lot to deal with, though.

[Here's someone that hasn't changed much at all, though her location has. This is neither nor her home in Locke, nor her second home in Shepherd's Haven, and while that's something that bothers her, there isn't much to be done for it. She grins when she sees the familiar face popping up.]

Amy! It really has been a while... a lot's changed. Of course, things are a mess now, but it happens. I'm sure Ms. Kaiser has been keeping you busy, huh?

Winter, it's kind of weird that you're still referring to my girlfriend as if she were my boss. I only help her with the charity now. But... she's fine, and it's good to see you again!

[she laughs a little bit, to show she's not really taking any offense] Anyway, that's the first I've heard of dinosaurs and monster snakes as just a "mess"...

[peacefulwinter]

The point still stands. Although if you're running all over creation because you want to, instead of to chase a paycheck, that's a good thing. I'm glad to hear she's managing all right, too.

Ah, but these last few weeks... I don't know. I'm annoyed that things are starting again, but I'm also relieved it isn't worse. Snakes are bad, but I can deal with them. Dinosaurs are a nightmare, but they're workable, too. Anything's better than the invasion, right?

Welcome back. Busy in a good way, I hope?

Re: Audio

[feastorfamine]

Oh, certainly. I still end up stressed, but... what can you do, right?

Audio

[numberedshepherd]

It's always better to be productive. Nothing is more stressful than feeling useless or like dead weight. Therefore, it sounds like a good kind of stress, if such a thing exists.

[solvethepuzzle]

Welcome back, Amy. I hope the past year hasn't been unduly stressful for you.

[feastorfamine]

Ah... don't take this the wrong way, but... which version of Nathan am I talking to, right now?

[let's avoid what happened last time]

audio

[mangata]

North America has been trouble, continuously, the entire time.

audio - [she's unaware at the moment]

[feastorfamine]

Ah... hello, Marina. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to sound like I was ignoring all that. I meant in regards to new problems appearing.

[Audio]

[scarlet_devil]

Compared to last year... It's nothing we can't handle.

[Audio]

[feastorfamine]

Mmm. Well, we can't exactly afford to make assumptions either, now can we?

Video + Text

[evowhisperer]

*It's a brief snippet of video, more like a gif than anything else. He smiles a little, holds up a hand in a wave, and instead of speaking lets a string of text communicate for him.*

I don't think we've met, before. My name is Cesar.

Welcome back to the network.

[feastorfamine]

Ah, hello Cesar. It's nice to talk to you for the first time.

[dictator_ko]

[Well, this one passes Mina's standards as far as looks go.]

Hello, Amy. I'm Mina, and I'm new here. And yeah, it's been getting crazy.

[feastorfamine]

Ah... it's nice to meet you Mina. I was surprised to hear there were new Numbered, but I'm pleased to meet you all the same.

[witnessme]

Hi Amy Dylandy. Uh, welcome back to the Network, and stuff, I... guess it's your first time seeing me here, huh?

[He kind of hopes that she doesn't immediately recognize him as a former Mafia goon.]

[feastorfamine]

It's always nice to see from a new face. You can call me Amy.

[it's clear she doesn't]

And going off of that... what do I call you?

[Video]

[guitar_case_vagabond]

Weeeell, shit, look who's back. [She grins at the camera, kicking back on a couch with her brand of aggressive music playing from somewhere nearby.] I was startin' to think you two forgot about the rest of us here.

[Video]

[feastorfamine]

... Heh. Hello, Raye. You're still the same as ever, I see.

I don't think I could forget you if I tried. I am still dating your sister.

Video

[switch_over]

Yes, You've come back just in time to deal with all this crap with the rest of us.

Congratulations!

... I don't think this is something you need to be so bitter or sarcastic about. It's not as if I was hiding.
