[The handwriting is disguised, and the picture obscured. The message is as anonymous as possible.]

If there is anyone returned from a kidnapping or being threatened who does not feel safe in his or her home, speak to anyone at the Welcome Center and they will direct you to a safe place to stay until things are better.

If you wish to volunteer to house someone, you will need a reference from a trusted member of the community.

[A few minutes later, he uncovers the camera and starts a new message, spoken this time.]

Alexis Rodgers has been sent home. At least I assume as much--no one has seen her and her flat is empty. It's good. She was very homesick, and...

[A pause. There's nothing really to say after that. He doesn't sound greatly distressed, but there's definitely a certain melancholy.

He'll be at the library this afternoon, and Good Spirits tonight. Missing Dawn, mostly. He'll occasionally walk through the item shop, killing time looking for little gifts to pick up for her. At some point, he'll go see Ingrid in the clinic. In the evening, he'll pay a visit to Jack Sparrow's house on the beach. He's there to see Horatio, of course.]

[Hm. This is...an interesting idea. Giles is definitely pinged. Especially after hearing Dawn get taken just a while ago.

He pulls a pencil out of his pocket to scrawl a reply.]

Who qualifies as a "trusted member of the community"?

Several members have been identified--Buffy Summers, Albert Silverberg, Raine Sage, and Rydia. Most everyone knows at least one of the aforementioned.

[Three out of four. Giles is...kind of proud of himself, on that score.]

[...] I would need to speak to my flatmates. But this is a good idea. I'd like to help.

Good! It would be best to tell Miss Rydia at the Welcome Center, though if you'd like, I could tell her for you. We are trying to keep it off the journals where we can, to ensure no suspicious person knows where these safe houses are.

I've spoken with Rydia once or twice. I can speak with her. You're right - the less the journals are used, the better.

... she's gone, huh? [A sigh.] Well, good. She'll be happier that way.

Umm...can you define "trusted member of the community"? I-I mean, I have room in my house, and I swear I'm not crazy or anything, plus my dragon can keep people away. But Iiii'm not exactly sure who I need to know to prove I'm not some psycho.

[His very dangerous beast is harmless, honestly.]

[This voice is cocky and arrogant, but sensing opportunity, he's going to take it.]

Alright, you've got people who want some protecting? You got it. I'll take as many as you want in, but I'm no charity worker. Anyone under my protection works for me, Greed.

She was terribly homesick. You're right.

[With a sigh, Kennedy ends the transmission, making a note to lock future announcements from "Greed." Crazy people.]

I apologize, I'm trying to remain anonymous. The less information about this is on the journals, the better.

A few who are considered such are Albert Silverberg, Buffy Summers, Raine Sage, and Rydia.

[A pause before the next bit is written.]

A dragon?

Yeah. Thanks for letting us know. [That's all that really needs to be said. He just feels bad for not finding out first. He should've checked on her before.]

It is imperative that everyone is safe, and feels safe. Do your flatmates have people to vouch for them, as well?

[... yeah, he heard that. Well, whatever, that guy's loss. Greed was being sincere and everything.]

Look at you, Kennedy, bein' all admirable.

You're welcome.

...May I ask your name, sir?

Admirable?

Ah? Oh, it's Kurt Wagner. What about you?

You may call me Mister Kennedy. [Girls? Can call him Archie. Boys? Are automatically held to higher etiquette than that.]

How are you, Archie? I haven't seen you in a while.

We are all losing people, it seems.

I'm better than I was, certainly. Stronger every day.

Ahh... okay? [That comes off a little conceited to him, but he'll not say anything about it. Especially since Kurt himself is now eighteen, so it's a little annoying to be treated like a kid.] Whatever you say, dude.

[Oh. That's right. Teens don't respect their elders anymore. They want equal status without treating you like an equal. Nevermind that Archie's girlfriend is only a year older than Kurt.]

Archie.

[Kurt does in fact respect his elders. But they usually have to be a little more elder than Archie currently is. Like... 30s, at least. The benefit/downside of longer lifespans.]

Archie, got it. So I guess you can call me Herr Wagner, yeah?

[A commission usually make one count as an elder. At least, the way he's used to it.

...The snark, he can at least approve of.]

Cheeky. How do you know Alexis, Your Gravity?
