Entry #A-9: "Abundance" [Audio, January 27]

[L's typical monotone is still clipped and precise, but unusually breathless and animated today.]

I want a job.

I have never interviewed for one, but I've typed up a resume and I am a very fast learner. There are too many hours in the day, I've found, and as soon as I possibly can, I want to start working.

Also, I want to take on a mission with my partner before mid-February, so any guidance in that department on a regular basis would be much appreciated, in addition to the regular training that Shibusen offers.

[Coded Privately to Mello and Near]

Thank you both for everything. Your kindness and hospitality have been exemplary.

I'll be moving out in the next few days, but I will visit frequently.

[/End Private]

I would agree that both jobs are easier performed with two hands... but it depends on the individual, really. I am, myself, a youth in my twenties and I can't imagine being either of those things.

[It would be a hysterical mess to everyone who heard the stories. For those involved? Not so much.]

The arrival of my partner brought it on.

Preference, I suppose. [sigh]

[But that interests him.] Your partner. Was he or she here before? How did you know they'd come back?

He was, and I didn't.

[He tries to keep the smirk out of his voice, and succeeds for the most part.]

I think that... perhaps I just wished long and hard enough, and BREW cared enough to indulge me.

Your partner must be, ah, very special. [blink. Wait, wouldn't that be...]

You have no idea.

You're quite right, but allow me to say that I'm happy for you.

I'll allow it.

Thank you; it means even more that you're willing to offer your congratulations with only my word to go on that it is a good arrangement.

I hope that wasn't sarcasm, though I suppose I would accept it if it was.

As in... you wouldn't blame me for affecting sarcasm?

Yes. That seems to be the proper saying for it.

I seldom do affect sarcasm, and I assure you that it wasn't the case, even though you would have accepted it.

[chuckle. You're a queer man, Rue.]

That's very relieving, then. I wouldn't know how to respond if you hadn't accepted it.

[The queerest of the queer... and on some level, he probably knows it.]

I do not accept such things; I am indifferent to what I do not want, and I go after what I do want.

The world would be so much better, if everyone did so...

[It would be poor self-awareness if he doesn't...]

Megalomaniacs would become more dangerous in such a world, wouldn't they?

Interesting that you should say that. Are you suggesting that I am, myself, a megalomaniac?

No. But I don't doubt that such a person would exist in your world. They exist in all worlds, after all.

You're right, they exist. And they're very dangerous when they have the proper tools, I'll give you that.

Anyone is dangerous given the proper tools, too. [amused]

But not anyone would choose to be. [quite solemn, actually.]

I concede to that. [smile]
