[The webcam feed opens, and Mort looks a bit ashamed of himself.]

It would seem that I...well, I seem to have forgotten everything about these numbers and this network for the past couple of weeks. It's somewhat alarming, really.

[He sighs.]

I apologize if you came in looking for help with anything and I gave you a difficult time about it. I'm now leaving a few notes for myself in the event it happens again. Don't worry--it's nothing personally identifiable or dangerous to keep lying around, but it should be enough that I won't immediately start treating anyone talking about numbers and strange powers as delusional.

My office usually isn't open on Sundays, but given the circumstances, I'm here now. If you need to talk--or if I may have made things difficult for you this past week, please, stop by. If anyone's experiencing any new developments they're having trouble with, again, please feel free to stop by.

[There's another pause, as though what he's about to say next rubs his sense of ethics the wrong way.]

If circumstances call for it, I can...er, I can reassure your family members that everything's under control and that they've got nothing to worry about with these changes.

[There. He didn't outright say he'd lie for anyone, but that's basically what he means, loath as he is to admit it.]

[[Not too long after the post, the open office door suddenly slams shut with no indication of there being anyone there.

There is a very angry Bakura currently being hidden from sight by Diabound's powers behind that slam...]]

[Miles definitely was wanting to speak with a therapist who wouldn't find him crazy because he has a phobia and recurring nightmare now that do not belong to him, so Mort's post had good timing to it because Miles was about to look back to try and find who had made that offer.

So that brings Miles to the office in the afternoon.]

[ It took him a little while to search through the network to find the guys information but after anything that's happened the past days he thinks talking to someone, a professional someone, would be a pretty good idea.

And so he shows up at the office in the late afternoon, looking tired and worn as he knocks on the door, hoping that not too many others have decided to take the doctor up on his offer. ]

[[Going back to the crime scene, so to speak, is never a good idea, Bakura knows this. However, he wants to gloat. Which he knows he shouldn't, so instead, he'll settle for seeing if Mort's still rattled.

And to chew him out personally while he's at it.

He takes care to make no sound as he slips into the office. With luck, Mort would be working on something and not notice...

And indeed, he was. A dark smile briefly curled Bakura's lips as he leaned against the door frame, glaring daggers at the man within.]]

good to see you back, doctor. [ she had to delete the word boy from the end of doctor a lot before she sent the message. WOW we are not calling a full grown man that. Creepy. ] i've never had a reason to go seek therapy, so i don't know if that excuse will fly with my parents, but it's good to know that the option's there!
