[ The video feed shows a weary looking man who appears disoriented but in good health. He went from disappearing from Auriel to returning to his own world, living his life for a year, attending a somber matter in the realm of dreams, to returning to Etraya.

For anyone who knew him previously, Hob Gadling looks a bit different with a changed haircut and a beard, but it's undoubtably him. Looking into the camera, he offers a sheepish smile. ]

Hello. Uh, not that anyone probably noticed, but I took a little detour on the way back to Etraya. I went home. I'm not sure how much time has passed here since our mission to the fairy lands, but it's been a year for me. My name is Hob Gadling, and I'm just a man from Earth with some extraordinary stories to tell. Much of which I've kept to myself in the year and a half I've lived in Etraya prior to my trip home.

[ He shakes his head, as if removing the cobwebs after a deep sleep. ]

Anyway, I just wanted to say I'm back. Oh, and Happy Christmas. Or.. New Year. Whichever is closest.

...I'm sorry to stir up your grief. You just sounded so fond, I wondered.

No, it's alright. It's my duty to remember them.

[neonrain]

I understand.

[He changes the subject.]

I was hoping that there was some way to judge the missions, but they sound too varied to predict.

They tend to swing between combat and non-combat missions, so I'm sure you'll excel at the next one.

[neonrain]

Good to know.

If you find yourself in trouble, reach out. I'll be quick to respond.

I do appreciate that. Thank you.
