She's safe.

That's all that ultimately matters.

...Stop it.

[BLACK ORDER (including Azmaria) FILTER;]

Things are disturbingly quiet. Have any of you observed anything strange in regards to the Earl and the Noah recently?

And on a more personal note, it'd be nice if one of you would check in once in a while. What if I'd gone and drowned myself in Blue Mountain? No one would've known. You all are absolutely heartless.

[muttering to himself, not realizing the journal is still open and transcribing...

a sigh]

Your head is totally destroyed. Did they have to user armor piercing rounds? You were so sweet, so innocent... so perfect...

[SNIFFS...]

[two missiles pop out of its shoulder compartments, and fire :x]

[OH GOD. Tries to dodge but just doesn't have time. SEE YOU ALL IN TWO WEEKS SOB]

[notmachoish.livejournal.com]

[...except they explode right in his face and--

wtf? there are these rope-chain thingies which wrap around him instead. enjoy that cocoon, Allen.

Komurin promptly rolls over and starts dragging him out of the room by the ankles]

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

Eh?!

[Trying to get out, but can't- god sob]

Komui! What are you doing?!

[notmachoish.livejournal.com]

[not answerrrriiing.

Komurin drags him along - using the stairs, enjoy smacking your head on every step, Allen.

and then opens his door, dragging him in and tossing him at Komui's feet.

ENJOY THE SMILE OF MALICIOUS INTENT. is that a syringe he's holding?]

Why, hello, Allen. How nice of you to drop in!

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

[See Komui this is why they don't check in with you, and by the time he's reached Komui's room his head has hit stairs so much that he's kinda dazed and possibly has a concussion]

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....

W-Why are you d-doing this...

[notmachoish.livejournal.com]

[crouches down in front of him, cutting the ropes and searching for a vein in his arm]

Komurin, you could've picked him up.

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

Or you could have just asked me to come here!!!

[Ow okay shouting is a bad idea because that makes his head hurts more, he groans some and at this point is just so resigned that he's just praying the needle doesn't cause another plant to grow out of his head]

[notmachoish.livejournal.com]

[prick!]

I could've, but that's an awful lot of effort.

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

How is sending a robot to capture me and drag me up the stairs any less effort?

[notmachoish.livejournal.com]

[patpats Allen's head]

Komurin did that all on his own! He sensed I wanted to see you. Isn't he the best, Allen?

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

Did he... [Aw that's cute but he's looking over at the robot with a death glare. one of these days I will kill you]

[Oh yeah the needle]

W-What did you just give me?

[notmachoish.livejournal.com]

[takes it out!]

Nothing.

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

[......]

What was in the nothing?

[notmachoish.livejournal.com]

[discards the syringe and offers him a hand]

Do you trust me?

[helps him up, and then gets some ice for his head lol Komurin]

Lenalee isn't here anymore. You and Kanda are the family I have left... so I'm going to take care of you how I can.

[read: this is about the 14th, and I can't tell you because then he'd know and that's generally not good!]

[notmachoish.livejournal.com]

...Oh.

While you're here.

[reaches into his pocket, and pulls out a paper - hands it to him]

Since currency is basically meaningless, here, this is a chart of the hours you're going to be putting in as my assistant for damages to Komurinalee.

1/??

[A pause as that sinks in because that was really sweet]

[Bawww Komui you make him feel so lov-]

[-- Wait what]

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

[Oh for crying out loud]

Komui, that stupid robot tried to kill me and do other inappropriate things to me! I don't see why I have to make up for acting in self-defense!

[notmachoish.livejournal.com]

I expect to see you here starting next Monday, as per the schedule.

[LOOMING...]

And if you don't show up, I'll be sending Komurin to get you.
