I can't believe I-

That all along this-



We'll find him. We have to...



There's work to do. Classes are canceled tomorrow and the day after, to be safe. Sorry for the short notice, everyone.


( PRIVATE; SCULLY; URGENT )

That was a lovely time the other day, Garnet. Absolutely marvelous. I wouldn't mind another get-together in the near future. There are plenty more tales of my bravery in outer space where the rest of those came from.

It has also come to mind, looking at this handy calender of mine, that fifteen days remain until Christmas. This means that the general population of Poseidon has FIFTEEN DAYS REMAINING TO PURCHASE A GIFT FOR ONE ARNOLD J. RIMMER. I know what you're thinking, there's barely any time left, but never fear! I have a wish list of sorts already made out and ready to distribute over this network and also via mass e-mail for those who don't regularly check on here. Paper version to follow and be put in every quad as a backup. So, without further ado...

Arnold J. Rimmer's Christmas List

Hygiene products
Tickets to posh, classy, and sophisticated events
Hammond Organ recordings
Strategy/war games
Authentic historical bodily fluids from famous leaders, from Alexander the Great, Napoleon, etc.
Other authentic artifacts from Alexander the Great, Napoleon, etc.
Writings and/or films from or about Alexander the Great, Napoleon, etc.
A puncture repair kit :( Rachel
Artwork that's aesthetically pleasing notably those that emphasize the ideal female form
A new fishing rod - in the LITERAL sense, thank you very much!
Memorabilia that states "I am the BEST"; "TOP GENERAL"; "UNIVERSE'S GREATEST TEACHER" or similar connotations
Proper Morris Dancing attire
A manual on how to relate to the opposite sex How silly, I hardly need this!
A new scheduling book/planner for the upcoming year
Films in Esperanto- no subtitles, please! I am becoming a bit of an expert, to be modest.
Anything else that's valuable and befitting a high-ranking professor, feel free to use your imaginations!

Perhaps a trip will be in order over the holiday break.

Right, so it's getting to be about time for finals. I'm not much in the mood to study for those, but at least I've got some good things sent in from home to eat while I'm doing that. You blokes in the quad can help yourselves to anything in the kitchen and common room. Same goes for you if you come by, Harry. They sent me even more than I can eat myself, believe it or not.

Huh. Speaking of quadmates... Where'd that kid with the rabbit get to anyway?

Deep Throat? No, it can't be, he's...

What do they put in frozen tacos these days? At least, I'd like to blame them for the weird couple of days I've been having, anyway. Is it even normal to see... Either that, or those attempts to straighten out my sleep schedule aren't working out. I keep having these dreams where I wake and think someone's there in the room with me. I've ruled out most theories, since I'm well protected against supernatural intruders... which could mean I'm finally losing my mind at last. Last night, it was my father, the night before, X...

Wait, Samantha!? Is- that-

Ok. Enough. Maybe I just need a nice cold glass of water and some soothing background noise to fall asleep to.

Who: Honey, Krycek and CSM
What: Questioning the kid on things HE DOES NOT KNOW ABOUT and an escape attempt that goes very wrong; also re-conditioning (because Krycek is a ratboy and MUST turn against his own side)
When: The day he sends Scully this voicemail
Where: In their... fun happy hideout mansion XD
Warnings: The usual creep warnings apply

Well. That could be bad. Let’s hope not.

Thanks for all the help girls, um — and Jack. I really appreciate it all, especially Miss Morrigan and Jack’s help. And the tea helped, thanks Miss Maron! Ah but, mm, Jack you didn’t have to go with me to the store and it was really nice of you to do that. Even though I had to yell at you for it… Oh and the ice cream was good too, so thanks for that too!

I’m making use of the blankets that Miss Morrigan got for me, drinking the tea Miss Maron brought over and I took some advil and not moving much like both Miss Morrigan and Mama told me to. Going to class was freaking hard and right now I really hate health class because of this — but its okay, I mean, it’s not the class’ fault or anything. But that’s what we’re talking about right now. So it makes me angry.

…I don’t ever get angry at something like that!
Ugh!

Stupid body and jdfkslfjd

I’m going to eat more ice cream and watch Pink Princess. Homework will just have to wait.

That was something. Not that I'm planning to use any of these phone numbers, but the thought is appreciated. Pearl (or Rinoa, whoever sees this first)- there should be a large box from the local hospital outside of your (Pearl's) quad. Inside you'll find a few sheet sets and blankets, as well as a smaller heating cabinet to store them in.

<3 Feel better, hm?

...Great. The most wonderful time of the year.

Imagine bloody well ending up back here after all that! What sort of luck's that, anyway?

Been something of a while, hasn't it, loves, lasses and letches? You might say I took something of a wrong turn, got us set far off course from where I'd intended. Anyone who'd been aboard with me, have yourselves an "A" for a few assignments. Those who had the misfortune of missing out, bring me the finest bottle of rum you can procure, consider your grade negotiable based on the quality of said rum.

Not in my classes? Bring me rum anyway! Who's to say I can't parlay with my fellow instructional authorities and have your grade renegotiated?

A reminder to my students... fail the final exam in any of my courses, and you will receive an instant failure for the entire semester. You have all been officially forewarned. I expect that you begin preparations well in advance.

Holy shit! They still sell Hungry Hungry Hippos?

[this is a post in regard to this voice mail she has on her phone, to clarify!]

I always enjoy getting prank calls while I'm getting finals ready. If you're going to try to act like someone I know, at least try to be more convincing about who you're trying to be.

[ooc: Posting it here because there's a higher chance of it being seen!]

( Voice mail left on Scully's phone, flagged as urgent )

I must have cut my leg or something because I’ve never had blood on my sheets before. But I can’t really find anywhere that I’m…

Ow. Owwww…

Oh my God, what is thi —

I don’t even —

Oh God it hurrrttttssss…

MAMA!!

Victoria left. I do hope she is all right, though I'm sure...sure that Jamie is keeping her safe. I suppose I couldn't keep them apart forever. I just hope she is happy. She deserves it.

There is so many things to get done I'm not even sure how I am going to do it! Viskol needs to continue his training (he's doing very well at that), and I need to keep studying. I will just have to stay up this weekend and read my books! I have that study guide my professor gave me. And I have to return to the hospital for a check up on my arm... I don't have time for all of this! What if I can't do it all? What if I fail?! It's going to happen. Perhaps I took too many medical classes again. So much for good luck... I never have good luck.

At least I enjoyed myself the other day. We should do that more often, Aleister!

I think I am going to make some tea. I hope I don't disturbe my quadmates... but what if I do!? They'll be upset and...and...

Maybe I shouldn't make tea.

Though I was thinking about it - ahh... Death? I was wondering if you'd like to go out for tea in the future!

I suppose I was bound to recieve troubling word eventually. At the most inconvientent time as well I cannot return home as I must continue my studies until the end. I will write back in hopes that things will turn for the better. Beatrix, I am certain, will be able to handle it. I will have to have high hopes to hear nothing but good news in the future.

Lily have you decided on any classes just yet? I believe that we are able to sign up for classes very soon here and I would hate for you to be forced into classes that may not be of interest because others are full.

Perhaps this weekend I will traverse to the library to study, or perhaps somewhere a little more open. I am uncertain. Hmn, I've not quite found anywhere to study at.

Ah! That reminds me, Mr. Rimmer would you be interested in obtaining coffee or tea with me in the future? I was thinking it would be quite splendid.

That was a satisfying experience. I would conclude it to be a better social environment than the beach... it's not as if I would have any luck there at this time of year, anyway.
