Laguna

Ah... I forgot about this thing.


I was worried for a while there, it seemed like the magazine wasn't going to be released on time. Eheh, things always seem to pull through at the last minute.

(ooc: Hrm, I'm thinking about dropping Laguna... he's kind of just... there. >____>;; )

Oh, wow. Heh. Haven't written in this thing for a while...

Been working like mad still. *laughs* Fuu and I hardly have time together... We really need to take a vacation.

Gah, I haven't had very much time for this thing. Eheh,.. between Fuu and work; things have been really busy.


Apparently Squall left the city...?

Heh, I should have seen that coming. It's not like he had any obligations towards me. I just wish... he had at least said good-bye to me. It hurts more than I thought.

Fuujin is proving to be a valuable asset to our team. She's much more prompt and reliable than the others, but that's probably my fault. I'm too laid back, and it rubs off. Eheh... ah well. We manage somehow, and that's all that matters! *sparkle*

... ... I knocked the coffee pot into the trash can. *woe ._.* Does the two-second rule apply in this case?

Fuu, let's go out for dinner tonight, okay?

I haven't been like this since I met Raine. Fuujin-san makes me feel like a teenager again, eheh. I don't know what it is, but I like it. She's bringing life into this stuffy building.

[Private / U-H]
I haven't asked a woman out on a date in... ... ... ... well, I don't even remember. I don't think Raine will mind. In fact, she's probably upset and huffing that I took so long. ... I should tell her about Squall, too. Heh. Even if he doesn't like me all that much, he's still my son. Bless the legal system. *sparkle*

So... here's to hoping I don't look like an idiot!

I mulled over some ideas and decided to let our interns work with other journalists their age (thank you Stranger-kun, for the idea!). It's worked well, they all seem to feed off of each other and work harder. They don't look so much like zombies anymore, either.  Heh. I'm not used to seeing such determination in kids anymore. It's refreshing. *sparkles*


... ... Haven't heard much from Squall. *sigh* I guess it wouldn't hurt to pay him a visit unannounced.

We hired a couple new journalists fresh from college.  I've been trying to give them some good outside experience, but they're just all so... uncreative.  These kids need to break out of their shells, otherwise they're just going to be mediocre writers for the rest of their lives. Terrible.


Ah... Squall, I haven't heard from you in a while. You're keeping cool, right? Are you eating enough? You're so thin, you need to eat more meals...

I've been really busy with work, lately. Spent a few nights in my office, already. So many deadlines... ugh. I hate being an editor, sometimes. I need the outdoors! The city life! People interactions! *sparkles*


Maybe I should hire some more journalists. I need to spread some more of this work out. Hrm.

Well, that happened more quickly than I expected it to. I wished I was more prepared for it, before fate came and outright kicked me at him. I probably came off as a bumbling idiot... I swear Squall, I can be serious, too!  At least... at least it's off of my chest, and he knows everything. Raine would be happy about that. Even if he resents me for the rest of his life, at least... he knows the truth.


Heheh! So there's a new club in the city, huh? I'm a complete lightweight, but I think I should stop by, anyways!

This is a neat city-- hustle and bustle. Like a mini-Tokyo. Heh. Without the abundance of crazies! (Why is that?)

Our new building is bigger than I thought it would be... I sorta miss my old cramped office though. Except I don't miss the smell of turnips.   Aw, maybe I'm just getting sentimental. Journalists can have feelings too, you know.


He's... here in the city, too. I don't know what to do. They gave me the address of his school in the tracking papers, but... should I find him? Say something? "Hey, sorry I wasn't there for 18 years of your life, but let's be best buddies!"
...
Raine, I hope he got your compassion. I really do.
