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...]

[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.

[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.

[Stupid. Robot. Gonna kill you]

All right, I'll be here.

[notmachoish.livejournal.com]

Good!

[turns and puts away the case he'd gotten the syringe from, HIS ROOM IS SO CLEAN IT'S SPARKLING HUHUHU]

I wouldn't have wanted to resort to Plan B.

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

Plan...B?

[notmachoish.livejournal.com]

[smile smile 8)]

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

[....Thank god I won't have to know. ]

[notmachoish.livejournal.com]

How's your head?

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

Um....it'll be all right, I think. Thank you for the icepack.

[notmachoish.livejournal.com]

Komurin, avoid the stairs next time. Or at least have the decency to pick him up. What if having a concussion alters the effects of "that?" [chiding glance at Komurin, who shrinks... yes, robots can shrink shut up]

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

[a pause as he watches that; wow that's one strange robot that can shrink in intimidation]

'That'...?

[And since he figures he won't get any straight answers] Am I going to feel any effects from...'that'?

[notmachoish.livejournal.com]

No, no... [waves a hand in dismissal]







...Maybe.

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

[....gulps. Oh god ;; ]

[notmachoish.livejournal.com]

You'll be fiii~ne... Don't worry about it!

But if you start having double vision or hearing things... you might want to let me know.

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

[Gotta try...remaining optimistic! Double vision isn't that bad right? ]

A-All right, I will.

...Thank you, Komui.
