For those who knew them: Tony Stark, Pepper Potts, Clark Kent, Scott Lang and Foggy Nelson are gone.

[ Bruce doesn't know whether or not to leave it at that. He wants to keep it a brief announcement, almost detached, but in the process he's making it fairly obvious that some of these people leaving has affected him a lot. But then again, that's why he went with text, so he can avoid any slip of his expression or tone of voice that might betray just how upset he is.

He doesn't really want to talk about it. Or maybe he does, but he doesn't know with whom, or how to bring it up. It's not like he's ever been the best at expressing himself.

Best to just leave it at that. Short and... not really sweet, no. ]

That's it.

Not that I know of, no. I wouldn't put it past some people, though. A lot of us miss home, some might think it's a way to cure the homesickness.

[ Bruce knows better, though. ]

[peridork]

[Oh.

Sounds like he already doesn't think very highly of the idea. Peridot's reluctant to respond and takes a moment before sending her next message, phrased very tentatively:]

Yes, but what if you did it purely for the sake of gathering information, rather than being driven by sentiment?

[hyperkinesia]

[ He doesn't think anything of the idea, honestly. Each person could have their own reasons to do that willingly, and far from Bruce to judge. He's seen people with far worse habits or vices, missing home is hardly something to hold over someone else's head. ]

That's also another possibility. There can be a number of reasons why people would want to do it.
Why do you ask? Is that what you did?

[peridork]

No. But I was considering it.

[hyperkinesia]

Alright.
I assume you're worried about the uncertainty of the process. That it might not work at all, or that you might not wake up again.
Are you planning on giving it a shot anyway, or were you hoping to find out more about how it works first?

[peridork]

[For once, none of those concerns had been running through her mind... but they sure are now.]

I was just wondering if you'd heard of anyone else giving it a try. Having a better idea of what I might be getting into would be ideal.

[hyperkinesia]

[ Well you're welcome then, Peridot. ]

I see. You're probably better off asking the network, I think. To my knowledge no one's done it purposefully but there might have been someone who wanted to give it a try.

[peridork]

Hmmm. I will take that under consideration. And also inform you if I find anything else.

In the meantime, try take care of yourself, Banner.
