[Video feed turns on, and a face that has been somewhat absent from the school this past month greets the screen. He is astoundingly disheveled, covered in a mossy beard, long, wild hair the usual facial piercings. For some reason he's also got monk's robes on? You can probably imagine he smells pretty strong right now too. Because he does. He smells overwhelmingly of flowers.

Vinnie's still a little out of breath and maybe a bit red in the face for some reason, but he's home. And looking a good deal happier than he did when he left in December.]

Al'right, I'm pretty sure I was gone at least 5 months, so... [He glanced at the calender on the computer.] Is this right? It's still Feburary here? Shit, no wonder nothing's blooming yet.

Uh, I dunno if you got all my letters then. Well. [Pause.] S'that mean there's another one of me runnin' around in Johto right now...?

[Time travel, you were really weird. But he wasn't going to think too hard on that right now. Vinnie shrugged and smiled.] I guess I'm back. Did I miss anything important? Has everyone been okay? Red? Where is everyone? I really miss the shit out've you guys.

((ooc note: thanks to Celebi, Vinnie's been 'ported back to school! His solo logs will, however, continue in 'real time.' So if he mentions something that hasn't happened to him in the logs... chronologically, it hasn't yet.))

[Video feed: oh look, it's Majima. The man who was responsible for kidnapping that nice little Pikmin girl. He was just kicking back at his office desk, forgetting to wear shirts, as usual.

And he has an announcement for everyone!]

In case any of ya lovebirrrds were worried 'bout getting shanked in the dark by a silent killer, ya don't have to worry no more! We caught the guy. So now you all can go plow each other in the forest with peace of mind again~

He's in the security detention cell for holdin', so if anyone's got a beef with the boy, you can go give him a piece of yer mind. Don't expect him to talk back much though~! Caim ain't exactly a converrrsationalist.

Oh, and if any of ya got a beef with me...?

I don't give a shit.

The killer that had the city wettin' its pants was captured without a fight, an' without any casualties. Ya got a problem with that, feel free to register yer complaints to my face.

[He gave the camera a dark, irreverent smile and waved as the video feed ended.]

I realize Valentines can be a depressing time for some. Just as any normal day, my office is open for those who need to talk or just need the company.

[As soon as the webcam turns on and she's sure it's recording, Sami gives it a stiff, over-official salute.]

Commanding Officer Sami, reporting for duty!

... ... Just kidding. [She relaxes and lets out a sheepish laugh, then idly flips through some book-looking thing before she looks back at the camera.] So, uh... What's going on? I guess it'd be kind of silly to ask what I've missed since I was here last, 'cause it's a lot... But I finally got some spare time to visit. Haha, I'm surprised I didn't need a map. It's nice to be back.

I'm going to be taking a few classes here while I help out.
