*I grow concerned as brian doesnt answer I guess it must be about the news of my sister* Its ok Brian... you dont have to tell me I already found out. Did they you know keep the body?

Yes, Aerith, I would love some coffee. *I sigh as she leaves, hoping she'll come back soon* If you haven't noticed, Orwell, I'm a workaholic with no social life. I'm horrible at parties. Besides, I don't have anyone to bring... *My watch beeps, reminding me to check on the daily reconstruction reports. They should all be in by now*
[Dr.Brian:]
*I feel horrible. I know Dr.Jarvis' sister meant more to him than the world. I play with my pen as we walk back to my office, avoiding eye contact*
You know that they keep all the bodies. I actually looked into it, but she's in a high security wing, where they keep the reanimations. *We enter my office and I quickly shut the door* There might be some footage of her death buried in the BLI video archives... who knows.

*I give Angeline a sour face at the idea of a party. I'd heard of them, but never been to one myself*
(sorry for the short post, dinner!)

*as he shuts the door I can feel the sting of tears come back to my eyes but I try to blink them back quickly* It has to do with Wilson I can tell. I pushed him too far that time. She paid because I couldnt keep my mouth shut. *the taste of bile returns to my mouth i sit on the couch trying to calm myself* I already know she died fighting.

*I roll my eyes at Riley and put my arm out in front of him again to keep him from leaving.* Do not even think about it. *I pause and look him over then glance down the hall where she disappeared.* Take Aerith. She will enjoy it and will get you to meet new people. From what I can gather she is very social.

*I look at Orwell holding out his arm* Stop doing that! Aerith, hmmm... *I pretend to think about it for a second, even though I agreed with his suggestion immediately* Yes, fine. She is much better at this whole social scene thing than I am. Who would you take?
*I actually just want to go read reports and check on the unit, but until Aerith returns with the coffee, I'm stuck*
[Dr.Brian:]
*I look at my mentor, unsure what to do. I go sit behind my desk and pull up all the files I can on his sister, talking to him all the while* Wilson is very powerful now. He's teamed up with an agent from BLI New York, one Jonathon Orwell. He's more, ah, emotional than Wilson. Their unit is already building a fairly positive, if ruthless, reputation. *I look directly at Dr.Jarvis* Please be careful, Doctor. Have they assigned you an office yet?

*I nod at his question but dont answer it just yet* Where did I go wrong Brian... How did Wilson become so. So insane? *I look at brian my eyes are blood shot and my voice cracks* Was I not a good teacher?

*I smirk, finally satisfied. He needs to loosen up and Aerith should help him get out more. When he mentions my... date I frown and shake my head.* No one. Going alone.

*I nod* Well, just arrive with Aerith and me.*I change the subject, satisfied with my solution and not wanting to think about Belle's party any more than I have to* Oh, the nuclear warheads are all dismantled. The rocket portions are in storage and the uranium is in the labs. The physicists want a nuclear power plant, but I don't know how we can defend that against the killjoys without double or triple the dracs we have now. *I shrug* Won't matter until Battery City is up and running again, anyway
[Dr.Brian:]
*I just look at my former mentor, bewildered. How am I supposed to answer that? Any other person and I suggest they take some pills and sleep on it* I... ah, I'm sure your a fine teacher. Wilson is one of the most proficient agents in the whole system. You should be proud of him. I'm sorry about your sister... but she was a killjoy. She made that decision long ago. Look, I'll make some inquiries, maybe you'd better get some rest.

*I smile at him* She just wanted to live her life the way she chose... *I go into my pocket and take out a few pills of various colors and swallow them* no time for sleep. and you dont need to make any inquiries. would you like to help me with my new office? its right next to yours.

*I wander the halls until I find one of the archival rooms. No one's in the immediate vicinity so I take a moment to pick the lock and let myself in. I sit down in front of one of the computers, pulling up files on the Zones; it's been awhile since I was updated on the status of known killjoys and safehouses. A surprising amount has changed, though the information is as spotty as ever thanks to the killjoy's destruction of whatever flycams and surveillance cameras they find. I scroll through page after page, occasionally pulling up video files, and make note of the hotspots around the Zones so when I get back out I can check them out.*
*When the screen is momentarily filled by some sort of general broadcast, I sit back slightly in my chair. It's an invitation, and I'm irritated to see it's mandatory. I got back to my research when it vanishes, trying to get as much read as possible before I'm summoned somewhere.*

*I pour my coffee and another for Riley. I pass by Riley's office and place the coffee on his desk infront of him*
Enjoy! I swear, nobody here knows how to make coffee as good as I can.
*I walk out of the office and see one of the Assistants James*
[James]
Hello Aerith!
[Aerith]
Oh hello James, nice seeing you today.
[James]
Haha yes, I was wondering if you were going to the mandatory company party?
[Aerith]
Hm.. not sure. Parties are nice, but I dont like the sender. She's not my favorite.
[James]
Oh, well I was wondering If you'd like to be my companion for the evening.
[Aerith]
I'll have to think about it. *I sip my coffee and walk off to my office*

*I listen to him and nod, adding a few ideas and possible scenarios to our future plans. I am about ready to let him leave when I see Aerith walking down the hall. I cannot help but smile crookedly and give Wilson a slight nudge.* Hello Aerith.

Why hello Jon, creating new schemes with Riley?
Remember to count me in every now and then haha *winks and walks off to my office
*from my office door a short distance away*
More!? Casey how many flowers and Invitations are there! Geez! What am I going to do with this stuff.
*goes into my office and closes the door*

Yes, I'm still running - sort of. But it is lonely out here. Haven't seen anyone else for a while.
