[Round 1] Bi-weekly update: March 21, 2010
Hi guys! :D Okay, I think, realistically speaking, I will be doing these updates once every two weeks instead of once every week, at least until the semester and exams are over (: I hope that works out fine with you guys? :D
On to the update proper~
Journals
Allen Walker: Posted once - a private entry in reaction to Cross sending a video ahead to the Order.
Kanda Yu: Posted once - Freudian test results.
Pretty much everyone is inclined to believe the results this time, notably Bak, Allen, Tiedoll and Komui. Link maintains that it's unprofessional, and Reever is just despairing at the thought that such a quiz is actually circulating with such alacrity.
Lenalee Lee: Posted once - with a photo of budding roses she found near the order.
A conversation with Tiedoll ensues on the beauty of nature, and Link too is inclined to agree that the flowers should open beautifully. Allen wonders where she found them. Meanwhile, Reever reminisces about the times when Lenalee was barely up to his elbow. Komui being Komui hopes they can spend some time together~
Sokaro Winters: Posted once - wondering what on earth the interface is for.
Tiedoll is quick to welcome him, and like Link assures him the interface is for more convenient communication between members. Though Winters still looks doubtful. Lenalee, Komui and Bak welcome him as well - and Reever wonders whether Komui has actually done his job of briefing the Generals of the interface.
Howard Link: Posted once - Freudian Test Results.
Despite Link not trusting this Freud fellow, Bak, Allen and Komui had to agree on this - the results were rather accurate. Allen and Link discuss hobbies, while Reever frets over the fact that such a book could have circulated among Order members. Link maintains throughout that it's professional interest that made him do this.
Reever Wenhamm: Posted once - a video of Allen he had accidentally leaked to the public sphere.
Allen is floored that the video which he had thought long gone is suddenly in plain view for everyone to see. Link, Lenalee and Tiedoll find it...interesting. To say the least. Komui in the meantime reminds Reever that this belongs to the private database. Poor Reever did not expect that this would be public at all, and deeply apologizes - perhaps he had not been sleeping much lately...
Bak Chang: Posted once - Freudian Test Results.
His results are possibly the most balanced out of everyone's, Allen, Tiedoll and Komui agree. But there's the matter of him using Reever's work desk - and so Reever demands for Bak to stop using his table, and Link advises for his own desk to be brought in.
Komui Lee: Posted once - a mission outline for Lavi and Bookman.
Emails
3 logs received up to date - a continuation of the previous topic between Lavi and Lenalee, one between Lavi and Kanda, and one between Allen and Lenalee.

Lavi, I don't mean to assume, but you do several of the things on that list yourself...
And--do we even have 20 people on the interface yet...?
I don't always talk about how nice or cute someone is.

Ahaha girlie I guess you'll never know~ Plus, Komui would probably castrate me
Well, I guess that if you send this to everyone on the interface so far your crush will ask you out, or somethin' cool like that!
I... guess? Good point.

Mmm~ If you say so, Lavi~
I... don't think it'd be a very good idea to send this to General Winters, myself. Heh.
...but, Lavi, how does sending this to the people on the interface cause the person you like to ask you out? Is this like a superstition?

3. Allen and Lenalee - on definitions
From: Lenalee Lee
To: Allen Walker
Date: Fri, Mar 5, 1894 09:26pm
Subject: Are you sure you should tell me this?
I don't want to cause you any unnecessary embarrassment, or put you into an awkward position with my brother.
I know he can be unsettling at times~
I didn't mean to be mean in my wording, either, Allen. I'd hate to seem unkind to you...

Subject: Re: Are you sure you should tell me this?
It's...fine I think I've been through enough with Master that this...is nothing. Really.
Um...unsettling is one word for it. But I'll deal with it, I guess.
Don't worry about it. these things happen. You're Lenalee...I know you wouldn't do that on purpose (:
Erm...but yeah...what the email's about....
The--terms--uke and seme basically...refer to...the submissive/dominant partner in...a male same-sex relationship.
uke-submissive/passive/bottom during...erm...sex
seme-dominant/aggressive/top during...sex...again
it...doesn't always have to be that way, though I won't go into that. But that's basically--what the quiz was talking about. Which is why it can be...inaccurate, I guess.
...and that's...it.

O-oh.
So... Branch Chief Bak was so worked up because--
and your result is--
Oh.
I... see.
And--General Cross told you this?

Are you okay?
...yeah. Unfortunately.

Subject: Re: Are you sure you should tell me this?
I--to be honest, I'm quite horrified. I don't even wish to know why General Cross would think you would need to know this--
And... I wasn't aware such a thing could... occur...

Subject: Re: Are you sure you should tell me this?
...err...he likes to be very thorough, I guess. And of course you didn't know. This is probably the very reason why Komui didn't tell you. Maybe I wasn't the best person to tell you this but...you did ask and...you know now. I--I'm sorry, if it was too much...
-
From: Lenalee Lee
To: Allen Walker
Date: Fri, Mar 5, 1894 10:56pm
Subject: Re: Are you sure you should tell me this?
It seems like he confused being thorough with... well--something else. Ohhh, I don't want to think about why my brother knew enough to try and sway me from finding out...
--You are right, though, Allen. I did ask, so I cannot complain that you told me. I'm simply a little... embarrassed, I suppose, and guilty for putting both you and Branch Chief Bak into such an awkward situation.
It's just--oh.
How awful.

Subject: Re: Are you sure you should tell me this?
E-Eh? He just...explained...erm way too much...when I was younger and...then don't. One step--at a time okay? I was a little grossed out when Cross first told me about it too. But then Master is Master and--I guess that probably helped. Komui only wants what's best for you but...I guess you deserve to know just so you know now. Next time...just--don't push it when someone says not to?
how...awful?

Subject: Re: Are you sure you should tell me this?
I admit I was curious, especially since you all seemed to know about... it. I regret letting my curiosity get the better of me, now. Don't worry--I promise not to push things from now on.
Normally, I don't, but I suppose some things can't be helped...
Yes, awful. I'm afraid this is something that I won't be able to forget about for a while, and... well, lingering on it isn't a good idea, either. Oh, my. Poor Branch Chief Bak.
T-thank you for being honest with me, Allen. Please don't let my brother know you told me. If he asks, I'll be honest with him, but it's best he hears it from me~.

Subject: Re: Are you sure you should tell me this?
Curiosity isn't a bad thing, but I think when multiple people say you're better off not knowing...then maybe there's a reason behind it? I know, that's why it was odd. But you know now, so...
Aha...ha that quiz...if you chance one or two of your answers, most likely you'd get a different result. So I wouldn't take it too seriously. it is a bit of a blow to his ego, I guess? Which is...sad...again. No guy likes to be told that. .__.
You're welcome, and don't worry I--don't think I would anyway. I really don't want to die I understand that, and okay (: just as long as he doesn't come after me...
Action
The saga of Man Vs. Machine continues~
As more and more people gather in the canteen, the startling rumbling continues. It certainly doesn't help that as Reever confronts Komui, Komui does some suspicious fumbling around in his pockets for something - and the something reveals itself to be a remote control. Just when it seemed like everyone could get on peacefully with breakfast, all such naive hopes are dashed as an ominous crash is heard from outside the canteen. Komurin III makes his appearance, holding several mysterious objects - oh. Wait. They're just a banner and a watering can. Should be fairly innocent and safe, right?
...right?
Technicalities
On hiatuses - are_late is facing some RL difficulties at the moment, I hope everything goes well for her :X Hence, c_est_rabi will be on hiatus until mid-April or so - will update you guys if there're any changes!
Secondly, just a reminder that to keep up with the action post, it's best if you use the "track this" function. Basically, by tracking that post specifically, everytime a new comment is keyed in an email will be sent - so you won't have to worry about missing out on the action!
Thirdly, since Komurin III has entered and I'm guessing we will be moving into the battle of Order VS Komurin (and Komui? :D), after that I will be putting up a review post to see where the technical problems are and such - so if you have any suggestions, do bring them to the review post when it's up!
Lastly - RL is getting really tough for all of us, huh? ): I'm afraid I'll only be able to do this update post once every two weeks now. If you're facing any difficulties please feel free to PM me! I check my inbox everyday, so chances are I can get back to you within 48 hours (:
That's it for this two weeks, have lots of fun in the action post!
