[Alex, for her part looks entirely exhausted. She still hasn’t recovered from everything, but then again when does Alex Reagan actually sleep. At least her makeup is back so the circles below her eyes aren’t as noticeable as they could be. Sitting in her office on the sofa, Alex has a big gray pit-bull arranged over her legs like a blanket, and she’s absently petting him while she speaks.
Which honestly? She kind of doesn’t want to do it. But this is Alex Reagan, and news is in her blood. So here they are.]
So yeah. This is weird I guess. I’ve been trying to process a bit, but I want to put the story together as much as I can and I need to hear from you guys to do that. From what I know so far, at least from what we’d investigated before everything went back to normal. Or normalish I guess. This definitely still isn’t normal. But there’s no other way to say it.
It seems like the people who went missing, the 237 of them? They weren’t real people. As far as I can tell they never were. Harry Dresden used magic to check if they were, and they weren’t. I was, and I’m assuming that the people who are here still are. But all of their possessions are gone, the missing people’s I mean. We found some of their journals and things, and it was basically just words written over and over. Their voices disappeared from recordings too. I don’t know why.
Max and Laurie and Jon and Annie are gone, but their things are still here. I guess that means they’re coming back? I hope so I mean anyway.
[Alex just shakes her head and brushes the heel of her palm against her forehead.]
I know that for me at least when we went in to talk to the Sphere, it offered me basically a happy ever after if I turned on all of you. I didn’t obviously. Did the rest of you have the same sort of conversation? I. It’s weird. That’s all. It’s just weird.
[Alex is just going to sigh and move on. Because lord this is a lot. But she also know that her own experience isn’t just what happened. ]
I know from Beverly that people going to try and restart things at the power station ended up needing to face nightmare-like things. What else did people need to do?
[A pause and then.]
On a different note, I know that it’s not like an official festival or anything like the sort that we’d normally have here--or at least did I guess--but back home today would have been Thanksgiving. I’ve spoken to some of the restaurant people, and now that the food is back, and the power is on, we’re going to do a sort of… spur of the moment thing tomorrow. People are welcome to come if they want. And to bring things from home for celebrations or whatever. They’ll be things like turkey and pie and potatoes and stuffing. What’d you expect obviously. I hope to see you all there. If nothing else, we deserve a chance to reconnect from things over the last to months.
Um for anyone new here, or [More disturbingly] if you’ve forgotten or something, I’m Alex. Alex Reagan.

What's the difference?
no subject
Yeah. I mean Richard’s being an ass comes from a different place. He’s not mean. This guy was mean and he hates everything that wasn’t from home and stuff.
I mean it was when we first got here which I think made it all the worse.
no subject
At least he's gone.
no subject
I was pretty glad to see the back of him honestly. It was kinda a lot the way he just kept picking fights with people. Including the kids here.
no subject
I'm sure Beverly wouldn't have any of it.
no subject
Who do you think it was?

[Alex just shakes her head with a little laugh.]
I mean who do you think that guy tried to be an asshole to? It was Beverly.
no subject
Beverly's an absolute... [Wait. Hold up. Beverly was an angry teenager with a lot of issues and Sansa loved her so much.] Well, she reminds me of Arya, as I've always said.
I hope she proved him wrong.
no subject
She told him to fuck off. It was a whole thing. He called her a racist and a spoiled brat. Which of course made some of the adults angry because Bev is a teenager but she’s anything but a spoiled brat!
no subject
Gods, I was so spoiled at her age! [Or, well, younger than her, but you know. She was still living in a castle at the age of fifteen as a princess and hostage both so you know. literally that fairytale life.
except literal fairytales are actually hell and beasts don't become handsome when you kiss them, they just become worse.] Beverly is anything but. Very... down to earth. [She tries out the phrase]
no subject
Yeah she is. And she’s very independent. It took a long time for her to get to trust people here and that asshole almost ruined it.
