[For the first time in a while, Kaine's making a video today to ask a question.]

Is it normal to sort of....black out for a week? Because last time I checked, it was still February. And now it's not.

[A pause.]

And no, I didn't drink myself stupid or anything like that for a week straight. I haven't done that in a while.

[...not that anyone asked, but he feels the need to dispel that idea.]

And even if I did, I usually don't remember things I'm pretty sure I didn't remember before.

[He's not going into detail there.]

Which brings up another question. There's no giant mascot rampages here, right? Because I really need that to not be a problem in life. Again. Ever.

Yeah, that's the one nice thing about this place, I guess. Doesn't matter if some jackass is going to kill the world or a guy in a bear suit's on a rampage, it just doesn't matter here.

[Which also means his fuckups and mistakes don't matter either. But he's never getting over those, so that doesn't matter.]

All that matters here is whatever Pokemon you catch or whatever stupid shit is going on this week.

[stitchedupbodyguard]

....Right.

[It would matter a little bit, to her. Actually. Someone trying to kill the world would require her attention.]

...It sounds like a hell of a lot happened. You okay?

[theotherother]

Nothing happened.

[That was a quick denial.

But yeah, nothing. His life sure didn't spin into an uncontrolled nosedive followed by Mexico adventures followed by joining a group of teenage superheroes as the grumpy old guy who doesn't want to do anything or be there.]

And I'll be fine. What's it matter to you anyway?

[...wow, Kaine. Way to be a dick about things.]

[stitchedupbodyguard]

.... [Well... he make a strong point. Veronica seemed honestly stunted by the questions, her brows knit together in confusion.]

N-nothing, I suppose. I just thought that talking about it might help. Sorry.

[Silly her, trying to be open and social.]

[theotherother]

[...maybe he should talk about it a little. Maybe it'll help for once.]

Honestly, I wouldn't even know where to start.

[He really doesn't. His life is...definitely something else. That's for sure.]

I'm not sure it'll help either.

[stitchedupbodyguard]

[The only thing Veronica could offer was a shrug.]

Maybe you can try starting wherever you want? The first thing you can think of could work.

[theotherother]

I ended up going back somewhere I never thought I would. Somewhere I didn't really think I could go back to. And they basically welcomed me back. I've...never had that happen before. Ever.

[He didn't mean to say all of that. It's just like once he started talking he couldn't stop.]
