You're right, it could be worse. At least we aren't in Alliance housing anymore. I think I might transfer. I'm going to give it a few days - I don't want to make a snap decision. But even in the best-case scenario, this is going to be unbearable.
I've been working from home right now - connecting remotely via the Internet. I don't know how long that will be enough, but with any luck this quarantine situation won't last too much longer. That new Spider-Boy is working on it now.
[Otto doesn't really know him, but he's got a lot of confidence in all iterations of the kid.]
[A large part of the move had been to get the kids away from the swirling storm of toxicity Excelsior was becoming. The older Peter in particular had wanted to leave...and now he's not even here. It's still better for the younger, though, even if Otto spends a lot more time traveling now than he'd like.]
I do wonder about that.
[What's common to him? Just the arms?]
Thank you. The apartment was seeming too big for the two of us, for a little while, but I think we're both coming back around on that. Hard to do anything without tripping over each other.
Space certainly changes when it's all you have -- I lived on a ship long enough to know. Missing the freedom these days; not missing the confined space.
David's moving in, so he'll likely be around too. We'll both be glad to see you.
[ Balthier hasn't told anyone else yet, and really isn't sure how to announce it, but he's happy as a fool, and happy to share the information with Otto.
Also, in this case, more friendly faces may be better. ]

And if anyone gives you trouble, PLEASE do not hesitate.
Will your work remain? Or does that all have to be resorted?

I already struggle being grounded here. I would lose my mind being stuck in quarantine. My condolences.
[ Otto moved to get away from some of the nonsense in Excelsior, Balthier recalls. It seems unfair to go from one kind of chaos to another. ]

[ It's still so much to live with the fear of disease everywhere. ]
Still, as soon as this is over, I think some travel is in order. At the very least a long jaunt at the park.

[They certainly saw each other more often than he tends to see anyone in Central. It's been lonelier living here, even pre-quarantine.]

[It's nice to hear a bit of good news!]

Thank you. Could have done without the circumstances, but thrilled with the results.
And you're all still safe? No infection?
no subject
I don't think I know anyone personally who's been infected yet - it must be mostly civilians.
[Which is. Bad! But at least the people in charge of creating a vaccine are still healthy.]
