[Ema's finally feeling better!

Too bad she's too angry at the universe to really appreciate that fact. After being terrorized by Schuldig* and receiving a peice of leather with her handprint on it, Ema is not in a good mood.

Judging from her tone, it's incredibly obvious.]

Investigation people? What's our status?

[Kind of ignoring her bad mood. Or is he just oblivious? In any case, have an Eddie who sounds far too enthusiastic.]

Ms. Skye! Feeling better, are we?

[glowing_science]

The fever's gone and I don't feel like I'm going to die, so there's that.

[Otherwise, no.]

[puzzlerprince]

That's always nice.

[filter]

In any case, I think Scout and I may be on the verge of something critical.

[glowing_science]

[There's a long pause, after which Ema's tone loses most of its ire.]

Go on.

[perfektsymmetry]

Ema... did you hear about our, ah, investigation? Kay, Zidane and I got some information...

[glowing_science]

I heard about it from Kay.

How... how are you handling it? [He has this terrible tendency to DIE HORRIBLY of late. It worries her.]

[perfektsymmetry]

Ah, good. I'm, ah, I'm alright. We knew the risks, after all. I-I think it was worth it in the end.

[glowing_science]

I know, but that doesn't make what happened to you pleasant.

But you did get valuable information, I can't deny that. Unsettling, but valuable. Thank you, for that.

... Why do you even have to ask, Fräulein. You know already that you're always welcomed here. [ Or else he might join you to the punching. ]

[glowing_science]

It's more "are you home?" than anything else.

See you soon.

[Have an Ema, Klavier! She is eating a box of cereal. WITH RAGE.]

[gaydrill]

[ ... Why is Klavier so used to this, sigh. He lets her in. ]

A rough day at the office, ja?

[glowing_science]

You could say that. [MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH.]

[pants_yourmove]

"Are you in charge of investigating?"

[glowing_science]

I'm trying to organize something, yes. With the Major General gone, there seems to be a vacuum within the 'army' to fight back. I don't intend on waiting until it's all sorted out.

Why do you ask?

[pants_yourmove]

"An army?

I don't think I'd be much good in an army but I'd like to help out as far as figuring things out."

[glowing_science]

If it makes you feel better, I wasn't much good in it either. But an investigator, I'll take.

What's your name, kid?
