They say news comes in threes...

Dunno if anyone's seen the journals yet, but apparently Manuel's not only awake and upright, he's back at the school.

I... don't know how to react to this.


I'm going to do the time-honoured Snow Valley thing and go bury myself in work. Thank fuck I handed the bus run over today. Anyone got anything needs doing?

Besides drinking heavily? I am going to the gym for a run. And perhaps hitting things. And turning off my phone and computer and pretending I did not see that post.

[xp_daytripper]

See you in the Danger Gym?

In about ten minutes once I change and find my shoes.

I'll see you both home if you feel the need to go drinking heavily tonight.

Some people don't even have the common courtesy to stay in their comas, do they.

I wasn't wanting him to stay in the coma, hell, I didn't even want him to be hurt in the first place. It's a shock, that's all. I didn't even know he was awake, let alone coming back to the school. It's a lot to deal with.

Yeah, well, so long as we're sharing our feelings, my feeling has always been that that kid is a class-A freak, and he was a better contributor to the world exhaling carbon dioxide than he is back here again creating trouble.

Oh Fuck.

Amanda, I don't want you near the mansion until we get a chance to find out what's going on. For his sake as well as yours. In case you haven't noticed, in the last two years, with what you've learned you could put him right back in that coma before he's realized he's fucked up.

If you're looking for work, drop Emma and ring and update all out info on the Hellfire Club, their guidelines on position, membership and potential connections to it. Even if this is nothing other than him just waking up one day, let's look into some of the potential reprecussions and who benefits by him being awake.

They wouldn't have let him back if he was the same as before, would they?

But understood. I'll get onto Emma and the HFC. It's not like I've got the nerve to face him any way.

I don't know the Professor's reasons, but at the very least, he wouldn't intentionally risk the school itself if he knew something more was going on. So, take a deep breath, and let's start running down the information. The more things we can cross off as not manipulating him or him working with, the more likely it is that he isn't trying to play the same games.

Right. Deep breaths. I can do that.

Might want to look into what's left of Gideon Faraday's companies - Manuel was working for him until Nathan brought the whole place down. He might have had some contacts turn up.

I have a feeling I should get my jogging shoes on. Where do you need me to go first?

[xp_daytripper]

We need to talk to Emma first - she's our point of contact for anything Manuel-related.
