Trunks, Sechs, Apollo, Franziska, Dahlia:

Are you okay!? Last night just came out of nowhere. I don't  I was It was Are you Please, just say you all stayed (relatively) safe last night!

To Haseo, Leon and the other two people with me last night (sorry, I never caught your names):

Thank you so much for helping me last night. I don't know what I would have done without you. I'm sorry I couldn't have been any more help, but if there's anything you need ever just ask!

Oh, no, he's fine so long as I've confiscated his comics and there aren't any pretty girls around. ... um, you probably wouldn't like him.

[iwhipthefool.livejournal.com]

No. I suspect I would not. How can you leave the guarding of the universe to such a frivolous fool?!

[bitpartgod.livejournal.com]

H-hey, I don't exactly have a choice! But he can be really wise and powerful when he has to be, even if he is a little unreliable.

[iwhipthefool.livejournal.com]

Unreliable is unacceptable! Once you return, I expect you to retrain that boy to perfection, understand?

[bitpartgod.livejournal.com]

Well... actually, he's not really a boy. I think he's around seventy million years old. And he's kind of the one who's supposed to be training me.

Hey, who would take over while you're gone? Do you have someone you can rely on too?

[iwhipthefool.livejournal.com]

I am very glad I do not live under your jurisdiction if that is the sort of leadership you have.

[again, a heavy dot is left] I rely upon myself. My cases will be waiting for me when I return; currently there is a more pressing one to be solved.

[bitpartgod.livejournal.com]

It's not so bad. Things sort themselves out eventually.

So wait, you don't have anyone at all...? Oh. That's I Well, I'm

[hurriedly written]

What case is that?

[iwhipthefool.livejournal.com]

Eventually is not good enough. Allowing such mistakes kills how many people exactly?

I do not need anyone.

My primary case is against Martin Landel and his Institute, including any and all persons related to it and the kidnapping and imprisonment of the people here. Not to mention first, second and possibly third degree murder charges.

boom! headshot!

[hesitation marks, handwriting is shaky]

I know that. I really know that. I still haven't forgiven myself for the mistakes I've made and I don't think I ever will. But I can't do everything right all of the time, especially not alone. It's a big universe and there are things out there I couldn't even begin to dream of, and I'm... I'm just making excuses, but...

[writing tails off into a scribble. in slightly less shaky handwriting]

That's going to be a lot of paperwork to do all by yourself.

She's good at those.

[iwhipthefool.livejournal.com]

Then you know your weaknesses and this is a good start. Overcome them, Kibitoshin, and make sure such tragedies never happen again.

The paperwork is nothing. I am accustomed to such things.

[more hesitation marks, but the handwriting is almost back to normal]

... maybe. I'll try.

You mean like being alone? If you're sure! All I'm saying is that I'd hate to be in your shoes when report-writing-time came around.

[iwhipthefool.livejournal.com]

Do not try. Do. You are capable of it, so prove it.

I enjoy writing the reports. It is a simple task I can finish easily because my cases are perfect. There is little to report besides my victory and how long it took.

[bitpartgod.livejournal.com]

I don't know about that, but... okay, I'll give it my best shot.

Huh. I guess that would make things easier.

[iwhipthefool.livejournal.com]

Good. It would be unacceptable for anything else.

Proper planning means everything moves just as you will it, Kibitoshin. Remember that.
