[Voice/Action]
[Okay, so. Post-draft, he's given himself a few days of seclusion and bed-rest (apparently being infected with a zombie virus is exhausting), and even Billy can freely admit to himself that he's been pretty depressed lately, a fact for which he feels no shame considering that depression was well and truly earned. One can only spend so much time fretting, moping, and dwelling on one's own misery for so long, however, and today? He's decided that enough is enough. Billy will be going out today, limping around the village and visiting the people who were on the draft whose fate he's still uncertain of. The ones he can't find or has no reason to actually visit, he'll check with a light location spell, and he'll spend a few hours at Seventh Heaven people-watching out the window while he doodles in a book that Teddy had given him containing a series of patterns (much like this) that resemble inkblogs, and bit by bit Billy's turning them into something like this instead. It's been a tiring week, though, so you could always catch him napping on the table, instead.
At some point he'll attempt to find Peter, and when both a location spell and a teleport fails, he tries to teleport to the apartment he'd been staying at instead, finding it almost completely emptied. All he manages to dig up is a small cartridge that, after a moment of scrutiny, he identifies as a web fluid cartridge. His fanboyish glee at the discovery is tempered by the fact that the empty apartment means one more piece of bad news.
After his visits and window-watching is done, he'll return home to make the announcement, along with one more message-]
Hey out there... just wanted to let his friends know that Peter Parker went home. So... sorry. Yeah.
[Locked to Loki]
...We still on for tomorrow, or do you want to take a break? Because... you know. [Draft. Awfulness all around. He wouldn't blame Loki if he wanted to take a week off.
Later on in the evening he'll be over at Ben's barbeque, if anyone wants to bother him while he's there.]

[Action]
It's good that you looked out for them. [Except Tommy. Billy really could have just gone ahead and fed them to the zombies.] A bunch of people weren't that lucky.
[Action]
Yeah... I know.
[His friends and fellow Avengers, to name a few, actually.]
What do you remember?
[Action]
Not much. Maybe the first day or so. I had to head about the infection secondhand. You?
[Action]
[Action] Wow sentence-altering typo in the last tag good job sleepy!me. :|
Also, things might be starting to burn a little. Robin's not a good cook at his most able-bodied.]
[Action] I'll forgive you this time
[Action] You're so generous
How long did it take for them to find a cure?
[Action] I'm always generous
Not as long as it takes in the movies, that's for sure. The disease started showing up, what, on the 26th? So around five or six days.
[Action] That's a lie.
And there's no danger of it returning. We're sure about that. [Robin will totally be taking blood samples from himself and analyzing them for weeks once he's okay enough to settle back into his own space.]
[Action] wow, rude, why would you ever doubt me
[Makes sense- unless the zombie-itus or whatever they're calling it evolves somehow, it's pretty easy to deal with should another instance of it crop up.]
What I'd like to know is where it really came from.
[Action] You know why. You know exactly why. :|
It wasn't native to that enclosure? What else do you know about it?
[Action] omg no I dooooon't rude
Well- I don't know that much more, honestly. But as far as I know everyone's gotten inoculated, and even if they haven't, there's a cure in case it comes back. I don't know about where it came from, but the people who weren't infected were looking for one guy from another enclosure who apparently got it first. Or was the carrier, or... I don't know. Really, the details are kind of unclear. You'd be better off talking to one of the doctors who made the cure.
[Action] It's rude to be dishonest with yourself.
Which ones were responsible? All Lucetians? [He's thinking Doctor LeBlanc seemed the most capable of the draftees.]
[Action] but I only speak the truth
I don't have all the names. I think the one guy was uh- shoot. He looks kind of like a fish-man. And Adele, and Loki... they were helping.
[Action] You're more perceptive than that
And Robin's about to launch into an exhaustive debriefing of every stalkable syllable Mordin's uttered over the journals, but then Billy gets to the end of his sentence.]
What do you mean, Loki was helping?
[They're all poisoned now, aren't they?]
[Action] you think too highly of me clearly
Just like I said. I don't know exactly how much his contribution was, but he was definitely involved.
[Action] Nope, I just forgot what we were arguing about
But we've all been injected with something he helped design. [Totally poisoned, all of them.] And everyone's okay with this.
[Action] oh okay nevermind then
...Well, I'm okay with not being a zombie anymore. If thanking Loki is the price I've gotta pay for that, then yeah, I guess I'm okay with it.
[Action] I'm assuming it's not important enough to scroll up about
[He's just going to melt into the seat across the table from Billy, don't mind him. It's not that he's tired or anything. He's just. Done with being vertical. That's all.]
[Action] not scrolling either 8D
He'll just quietly enjoy this while it lasts, okay...]
What's worse than a mindless, flesh-eating monster?
[Action] we're so good at this
There's always something worse. Even if you can't imagine it yet.
[Action] we are also the best at space
I'm sure you'll manage to imagine more worst-case scenarios than most of us can handle. How about I leave the worrying to you?
[Action] SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE
He just hurts too much to do anything about it yet. Soon. Maybe he'll set Jason on some investigating work later.]
[Action] getting tired of space
What do you know about Loki, anyway? Just what you've been told by the Avengers?
[He's not accusing - he's not really in any position to defend Loki - but he can't help being curious.]
[Action] akai, are you space?
[That in itself should give enough information about how much he's been informed. Directly, anyway.Stalking potential baddies is kind of his thing.]
[Action] yes. yes, I am space.
[Action] now we are a family again :O
[Action] /omg yay wait I ran out of lines
[Action] WHAT go back to youtube and experience it again.
[Action] but I have fabulous music playing :c
[Action] Nothing is more fabulous than the space core.
[Action] yeah but I have a rhythm
[Action] nope. not more fabulous.
[Action] STILL YOU CAN ONLY WATCH SPACECORE SO LONG
[Action] lies. space core is eternal
[Action] I found a "space core for 10 hours" video, you are right
[Action] I tend to be right, yes.
[Action] it's oddly addictive...
[Action] it's like nyancat.
[Action] spacespacespacespacespacespacecorespacespace
[Action] that's what it boils down to, yes
[Action] it's kinda catchy
[Action] soothing in its own unique way
[Action] it actually put me to sleep
[Action] that's kind of adorable
[Action] I deceive all with cute
[Action] Sometimes.
