Twenty-two bells: [WRITTEN/ACTION]
[Filtered from known villains and Grell, 100% unhackable]
[The handwriting is disguised and the picture is obscured.]
For the benefit of the new feathers: if you feel unsafe somehow in your own home, you may go to the Welcome Center and be placed in a safe house until you can get back on your feet. There does not have to be a reason. Even if you have returned from a kidnapping and do not wish to be alone, this is available to you.

[Later, another written message, without the picture obscured.]
To anyone who volunteered to help build the ship:
We will begin work on Monday, at eight o'clock in the morning. We will meet at the fountain and walk from there. It'll mostly be cutting and transporting lumber at first, I'm afraid, and that includes building a cart to transport the lumber in.
Thank you,
Lt. Kennedy
[Then, written more hastily a little while later:]
If anyone has stories about Dr. McCoy, I should like to hear them.
[Today, Kennedy is stopping at the grocery store and the smithy, hoping someone with experience at the forge will be up to the challenge he has in mind.
Tonight, he is back to work at Cloud Nine, mostly waiting tables and looking fairly miserable. It's his first night of work since Dr. McCoy left, and since he dislikes the job anyway, he's not doing great at it tonight.
Before he goes home, he will stop by house 7. He will be home late.]

Perhaps one day he'll return.

His mind is not on William Bush. Instead, for a moment, it traced the busy streets of Kingston, people milling about, laughing and dining and rigging a ship as if it were any other day, as if there had not been a court martial, as if nothing of value had happened for years.
He'd known the world wouldn't stop for the death of one man, but it had been a strange thing to watch the rest of the world carry on, heedless of a loss...
He manages a smile.] Perhaps.
Until then, though, I'm afraid I am your charge alone.
I do try and not be too much trouble. [For all the lightness he would have in his voice, there's a weight in his eyes and a strain in his tone. It's times like these that he has to remember how lucky he is to have Archie.
Lucky enough that he wouldn't trade this for all the world-- this one or the one he knows.]

[For as much as he blamed himself for what had happened to Archie and the whole disaster... There was a kind of relief in knowing that Archie didn't blame him.]
