[The image starts out crooked but the Exo's actively adjusting it before he steps back and gives someone a thumb's up off-screen.]

All right, so good news? Nothing sprung a leak despite prior circumstances, surrounding area's a little damp though, but all in all? Everything's pretty much how I left it. Even got some supposed cyanana booze that's been uh...going through this still since before we left for space. -okay I'm not exactly sure how that might taste? So in the meantime, I've got a backup plan.

[He seems to remember something then, coming up close to the communicator.]

But Cayde, you say, what's all this about anyway? Excellent question! I was so excited I forgot to say. Ahem. So, some of you- a good number, actually, might be aware that I have been in the process of putting together a bar-slash-common gathering area type of hangout...thing. It's pretty much been done, just not stocked- but now that we're finally back from...all that and then some, I've got a selection of fine drinks for your...uh... drinking pleasure. Also some non-alcoholic stuff for the non-drinkers and the under-aged. Oh, and there's tea and coffee too.

[Fishing around in his pocket, he holds up a map he's drawn up, the location circled.]

We're right down here, southeast sector, past the lake- I'm working on getting some kind of a landmark but this place is fresh out of neon signs. Anyway! I'll be around. Come as you please, even if I'm not- don't trip up the stairs, help yourself and uh, don't mind if the fish stare at you.







Making the network announcement had helped to fully kick his mood back into a semblance of normal. Truth be told, he just wanted to gather up people together, real people, and settle in with an ambiance of more pleasant times and warmer company.

The backdrop of the water-filled courtyard that made up the center of the nest of buildings had been something Cayde had at the time thought whimsical. During the daylight hours the light that filtered through the large window was a wavering green-blue, offset by the small sconces along the wall and a few individual lanterns at tables and flanking the bar area adjacent to the makeshift aquarium.

Cayde had set up the various bottles of drinks he'd acquired from their planetary pit-stop and scavenged from the cafe on a somewhat crooked shelf behind the bar itself. He'd been trying to go for rustic like those Old West saloons but in the middle gave up and just let things shape itself as he found them. The glassware is just as mismatched as the furniture, but everything's clean and ready to be made use of. If there's anything he really wishes he had, it would be an old-fashioned phonograph player or some kind of music source just to drive off the quiet that filled the space when no people did.

"..." Beck's smile fades a little, putting on a very convincing display of trying to hide his grief, rubbing at his wedding band.

"I'm not sure how much of a hero I was in the end..." He clears his throat with an apologetic look, before obliging-

"I work with magicks- flight, energy projections. I was part of a battalion fighting to stop the creatures we called 'Elementals' from consuming our world..." The heavy silence that follows implies how that ended, and Beck takes a long swig of his drink. "I was trying to stop the same thing from happening all over again on a different Earth when I got pulled here."
beholding_archivist: Do not take. Thanks. (Oh crap.)

Jon listens to the man's words, slowly turning the drink between his own hands and only stopping when Beck falls into that silence before finishing his story. And it's the Archivist's turn to be silent.

"I... I'm sorry." He offers eventually, not quite certain what else to say. This man has lost his Earth. His friends and loved ones. And rather than giving up, he has still tried to save another Earth. That's... It's not something everyone would find themselves capable of in such a situation. Jon at least knows he wouldn't be.

It takes him another moment to speak up again. "If there is anything you need, anything I can do to help... You know..." He offers vaguely, not certain if there is anything he even can realistically do to help this man.

"Don't be. We're all in the same boat here, right?" Beck dismisses, trying to wave off that sympathy, glad his story seems to tug at the heart strings just as well here as it did back home.

"If I think of anything, I promise, I'll let you know."
beholding_archivist: (u sure.)

Frowning ever so slightly, Jon's eyes keep lingering on the other man. He seems to take the loss of his powers surprisingly well. Which isn't an attitude Jon feels he could muster in that situation.

Has he really gotten this used to those damning powers of his already?

The frown fades with a sigh, which shifts fluidly into a nod. "Yes. Just let me know. Maybe we can even figure out what happened. Maybe we can fix this."

He's had quite a while on his own, that could explain it.

Beck's head turns slightly at that faint frown, just shy of arching a brow in question. He smiles then and returns the nod.

"With any luck. I've been working on a few ideas, I'll let you know if any of them seem to have potential."
