In Character: Dante is surprised to see John enter the tavern after such a long time. "Where have you been?"
Out of Character: OK cool we need all the hands we can for the cleric, but even with you joining back we don't have enough. Fair and Kntoran are also here. We can role-play for now though.
In Character: "I...er...I had to fulfill an errand!" A strange bright smile came to John's face as he is hesitant to continue talking.
Out of Character: We could try inviting other members to join if they are interested in playing.

"That was a hell of an errand to be gone for so long and you look a bit weaker too, did the cursed sickness that has been going around the village catch up with you?"
Out of Character: Sure go ahead buddy, you can look in the intros, lots of people have been joining of late but they seem lost or not motivated or bring in someone you know.
In Character: "Uh...Not really, it's a long story, I have lost a lot of gold and equipment during trip though and it took me a long time to recover from it. Hopefully I can get my strength back and resume to my original quest. Anyway, how's the search for the Dark Cleric going? Did you finally got him?".
"We thought we did but the closer we got the more ill equipped we looked. There was one guy, he claimed to be a magic user, he joined in and died right away and then we kind of fell apart because we didn't have enough dedicated hands, so I hope you're here for the long term."
"Funny you should ask because the Lady just left a little while ago and Grouth stopped in to see who was here and then left as well."
