i'll accept with poise with grace

It really is ncie to have things settle down for a while. It's almost like I have a more normal routine...even if I know that's a bit of false security. I don't think I'd mind too much if it stayed this way for a little longer. That seems a bit selfish though... with so much suffering going on elsewhere... I'm contradicting myself.

..I do however, need to make a trip out to get wine. Honestly, couldn't he pay for this himself? Why am I always getting punished.

Lavi, when I get home, I'll make a late dinner, and we can watch a movie before bed. How does that sound? Maybe if you relax a while before bed, you won't have a problem getting to sleep tonight.

I really wish I was still in bed. I'm so exhausted.
It feels like I didn't sleep at all. I didn't get much sleep at all I suppose. maybe I should do something about that book.

I think I'm going to go home and cancel my afternoon classes. iI just need to sleep a little bit more.

There. All my midterms are graded now. I don't have anything left to work on this weekend, so maybe I'll spend some time doing paperwork for the order... Ah, though I think it'd be more fun to do something nice. Lavi, would you want to go out to do something maybe? It's supposed to be a nice mild weekend. No rain! Not even clouds. It's a little cooler now, but that's normal for this time of year. Maybe it will snow around december.

I think I'm going to try to get more sleep tonight. Last night wasn't very restful, with the weird dreams I was having. ....I must have had too much on my mind before going to bed. That must be it. I'm sure tonight I'll sleep better.

I think it might be best if I scaled some of these grades, but so far this semester is looking decent. I really wonder why it's so much different from teaching German...
There are other things that are worrysome though... I just hope they turn out okay.

A week. I have a week to get everything ready, although I think I can manage just fine. Mm. I'm sure of it. Maybe it's a little premature, but I believe for now that I'm ready to go back to teaching.

English is enough for now, It should be fairly easy to teach. I'm a few years older now too, so maybe...

Lavi, have you gotten all of your things moved in okay? It's been a few days already, but your mess back in the other quad was well... A mess. I can help you put things away in your closet, though if you want. Is the library ready for fall?

I feel like there's something I'm forgetting, but I just don't know what.

....I don't really think I like what happened this past week. ...No offense, Lenalee. That's not really what I meant, but I'm sure you understand...Are you alright?


Everyone's back to normal and okay? I'm beginning to wonder if this place is ever going to give us a break for a little while....Master I kind of think the other you was a little better. It could have been worse I guess, like a few weeks ago. Oh, That reminds me! Jack! How are you adjusting to living here?

Huh. This I could have sworn my dorm room was bigger... Wait, who's things are these? I don't wear clothes like this. ...Has someone else been staying in my room? This is really kind of confusing... There was a computer in my room - but I've never owned a computer, so it must have been whoever else's who's stuff was in there. At least the library's open, and it has computers! I feel more comfortable using these, rather than someone's private PC.

I should email Lenalee and make sure everything is alright. I think we were supposed to go out tonight, right? Huh. My memory's a little fuzzy. Maybe I didn't get enough sleep.

[An ornate, beautiful script scrawls across the pages, accompanied by soft laughter.]

Funny. Genuinely.

[Allen's been playing security guard for the music hall, he's probably not been alone, but he's been at it for a while, scared that the crazy splicers might find a way inside to the people who are hiding there. The small pocket sized book has fallen out of Allen's pants pocket, falling face down, but open. Wet grass stains the edges a little. He's talking to himself, whispering. He sounds tired.]

At least everyone....most of everyone? Is in the music hall. There's so many of those things. The futher they stay away from the music hall the better. No one else should...

[He yawns.]

I wonder how Lavi and the others are doing. I should have been there to help Miranda and Crowley. There's got to be more I can do to protect the people here, until things get back to normal. It's too much for some of them. Way too much...

[Allen notices the notebook at this point, and picks it up. With a frown, he closes it, and slips it back into his pants pocket.]

Has anyone else gotten hurt by these things? There seems like there's more of them around now...

It would be best if people who can't defend themselves stay inside, and stay with someone for now. There's got to be something else we can all do though. We can't be sitting ducks for whatever this is.


Edit: ....Has anyone tried to leave lately? A few left earlier... but. It doesn't look like the trains are running. Or anything else that leads out of Poseidon for that matter. I'm enroute to check other places, but just what the hell is going on?

Just.. just what the hell is going on here?! What are these things? They're not...


Lenalee, Lavi, Kanda... Komui, you and Master too...as well as Miranda and Crowley. Are you okay? Maybe... There's got to be something we can do! If people are getting attacked by these things....! We should look for the ones that were spotted. The one in that video is probably still wandering around the campus.

[There's rustling and statick before somewhat erratic breathing can be heard. It takes a moment, but the breathing calms, just before Allen whispers into the microphone.]

Just... what was that? What was...
My head.

That couldn't have been an akuma it didn't look like an akuma but I... it hurts.
It feels like my head is going to rip in two.


.......

Lavi? Lavi where are you, are you at the library? Can I...

I wonder exactly how you make chicken soup in large quantities. As long as I don't make too much noise, maybe Lavi will stay in bed.
I think you're supposed to feed a fever. That's the saying isn't it?

I'm back. Finally. This place fels more like home than the Order lately. I'm not sure how I feel about that... But it's good to be back. I missed being here, even the weather is better. I've brought a lot of work back with me though. It's going to take some time getting through these reports.

Lavi, Lenalee? You feel like helping me? Kanda?


....
I'm starving. Maybe a trip to the cafeteria first? I could use some company, if anyone else is hungry...


...Master. I was asked to tell you that you should come back to the Order at some point soon. They seemed really insistent.

[OOC: Just a small slight canon update for Allen. This shouldn't effect anyone else who plays characters for the DGM cast, but mostly Allen's been confronted by Leverrier. This simply opens up more opportunities to characters that can be played from the series. I would also venture to say that once she comes off hiatus AGAIN, we'll have even more characters to futz around with. HOSHINOOOOOOO!!! *fist shake*]

...Lavi? Let's go out to eat.
I'm starving. Maybe a couple of pizzas, and some curry. It would be a snack at least... You'll come right?

I'm glad things managed to work out. THank you to everyone who banded together to help all of us who had been held in that place for so long. We're all really greatful to you. Especially the group who helped so many of the really sick get out.

[[Currently, Allen's claimed a cot/mat/whathave you near the end of the stretch of beds. For now, he's sitting on the end of the peice of furniture in favor of the floor. He's quiet though, his eyes trained hard on the floor at his feet. He's catching parts of conversations here and there, but for the most part his mind is preoccupied with worrying about those who are still on campus. Who knows what they're going through at this point in time. His lips curl into a frown, his eyebrows furrowing.]]

"If Miranda and I are here then... The order is not beyond suspicion. Maybe this isn't..."

[[ His voice trails off as he looks up, his eyes tracing over the beams that criscross over the roof of the dungeon. The smell is damp, the smell of pine sharp in the air. This building hasn't been here long. He can tell that much at least.]]

"They're going to have to come and talk to us face to face eventually."

Hmm... Christmas.

I didn't think a train ride could last that long. Owww my back. I can't wait to get some sleep in my bed. It was nice to get some work done too, even if most everyone was here. I've got paperwork to start my new job soon too. January I think. When the students are going to be buying their books.

Mm.. In the meantime I think I'll get some unpacking done.
....I wonder where Lavi went off to. I hope everyone else is doing alright.

I've been thinking about this for a while. In the end, I think it's going to be best.

I'm going to perminently resign from my job as a teacher on campus. I'm sure Miss Von Karma and Mr. Yagami can take care of my class load in the interim. I'm really sorry about this, especially to my students. I believe that in the long run it will be best. I have other obligations that I think I need to focus on, and in the light of recent events, it would be best if I distanced myself from the student body as an athority figure.

I'll look into finding something to do with my days, but in the meantime, I'm going to continue to take some time off.



Franziska, Light. If you would like, I can send you both copies of my syllabi for the remainder of the semester. Let me know.

Home, finally... I think I should go to bed early tonight.

I....
I don't even know where to begin, to make apologies. I wouldn't deserve any forgiveness given, anyway.

I'm sorry. Truely... I...
God, what have I done?


i just left the hospital, but.. I should visit...But I don't think I'd be very welcome.. It's my fault Professor Xavier's there. I don't think there's....But...



I think I'm going to take a little time off from teaching. I think it would be best. I don't trust myself around the students..or around anyone else for that matter...If i hurt anyone ever again I... I'm sure the school will find a suitable substitute... Ah, unless.Miss Von Karma.. If you would be interested in...
