[ Some time around 7am, cause he knows you're all probably up around then, you all get a text from Brig. ]

SENT: 07:03 AM
Hey, everyone. I've been requested by Chief Eli to accompany him to the US for an extended engagement. It'll be a month long, give or take. I know it's a bit sudden but I only found out this morning as well.

I'm free to meet and hang for the day if any of your aren't doing anything. It'll be awhile before I get to again. If not, stay safe and I'll see you all soon.

P.S.
Particularly to the Hounds, if any engagements come up: I know you guys have it covered. But (again) stay safe, come back alive, and make it rain. Keep me posted if you can so I don't worry too much.

-------------------------
General OOC notes:
+ At 7am when he texts: he'll be finishing breakfast with J and K. He's cabbing them to the Arcanum and school respectively after but will be free after 8am for anyone who wants to meet up.:)
+ He's pretty much set aside the day for anyone and everyone. Training isn't a thing today, he expects he'll have a lot of spare time overseas. Today's about family and extended!family.
+ He sends the personal group message above to the Hounds, Cindy, An'yu and his family.
+ He puts up general, formal posts on GEISTnet, LOGOSnet, and MAYAnet that he will be away overseas with Wiseman Tagabigay for those who aren't family or extended!family.

[ Admittedly, although he'd like some action, he's not very comfy about the thought of Howard and TFV starting any trouble. ]

SENT: 04:17 PM
Copy. I'll cool my heels till then and hopefully nothing major will come up. I'll be ready for if anything does though.

[ He's leaving for a month. When he'd rather be deployed with the knowledge that he can come home at night or at least in a couple of days' time. He sends a follow-up text. ]

SENT: 04:18 PM
Would it surprise you if I told you I wasn't so excited about this extended sortie?

SENT: 4:19 PM
Just a little bit. You were all for going off on engagements in the past.

SENT: 04:21 PM
There was always the assurance that I'd be back home by the end of the day. 3 at the most.

This one... well, a month's a really long time. It feels too much like how things were before Netsach.

SENT: 4:24 PM
You know, I hate to say it, but... if you and the rest of the kids didn't keep on taking assignments, there's a possibility that you wouldn't be feeling this way now. Things always happen in the Vigil: it's good to know when to slow down, and when to take the opportunity to rest the moment it presents itself.

[ Suddenly a concerned-sounding Brother Hikaru. Brig takes in the words. He really does. But that Hikaru-snark has been rubbing off him a lot. His reply straddles the seriousness with a little bit of snarky wit. ]

SENT: 04:26 PM
I appreciate it very much when you're straight with me, you know? I really do. Sometimes it helps to hear it. And I've got a stubborn, metal, hard head.

Practice what you preach though, Brother? I'll slow down, I seriously will, if you show me you can do it too.

[That second line of yours is making him laugh.]

SENT: TIME 4:27 PM
What, we're going into semi-emotional blackmail now? :))

Fine. I'll take you up on that.

[Just... not now. Soon. ~~More like later this month, hahahaha time paradox!~~!]

SENT: 04:29 PM
I'd say I learned a lot from the best recently but... it's really just concern.

I recall we kind of promised to help each other break our bad habits. We've both kind of ignored working on them, I think. Or maybe it's just me.

[ He still remembers that drinks session after Seigi. He means to keep his promises. And grow with this Little Big Brother. ]

SENT: 4:30 PM
No, I remember.

Thanks for the reminder, Brother. Let's both try to be better from here on, yeah?

SENT: 04:32 PM
We will try our hardest. I know we will.

You stay safe, Brother. We'll hit the drinks again when we both get back.

[ He's going to miss this one. ]
