[Someone looks particularly annoyed today... then again, what else is new? She simply stands, her arms crossed, looking around for a moment before speaking.]

I do not think that I will be around here often for the time being. I'd rather this time of year progressed faster than be drawn out due to the time dilation issue. The sooner everyone eats their cake and gets it all over with, the better.

[SUPER GLARE OMEGA BEAM 1000000]

The others may have time off to celebrate in part because I am willing to take over their duties.

[Oshi--! At least that doesn't require dodging, which leaves Kuhn more time to give her a huge griiiiiin!]

Well, I'm sure they appreciate it and all that, but I think they'd like spending time with you, too. Or at least letting you have some vacation time, too. Really.

We work together all the time. I think spending some time apart may be good... and good practice for keeping themselves under control. I think we all need some practice at that.

[He knows she isn't just talking about normal, break-from-the-coworkers sort of break. She means something deeper, something that's a part of her reality. He may not know what it is, but at least he realizes. So he doesn't comment, or make any jokes about it. He just nods.]

Well, don't work yourself too hard, even if you do enjoy paper-pushing. Make some time for yourself! Do what girls do. Take a long bubble bath, or whatever. Do something.

Unfortunately, the world won't stop if I rest. I already had enough down time as it is, I need to make it up.

Down time? What, lately?

I was hospitalized for a few days. Even with your alternate and Haseo picking up the slack, there was still quite a buildup.

[He winces.]

Yikes... at least you're okay now. Right?

Of course. The hospitalization is to make sure that I rest. I'm fine.

[He shakes his head, just glad to know that she's alright. ... but the idea that the work still got backlogged with both "him" and Haseo covering... that's just amusing. So, he smiles a bit.]

You know, it really says something when two people can't effectively pull the workload you do, Pi.

The two of them mean well, but they can't direct themselves the same way. Their specialties are in different areas. Plus, there's been a slow buildup of work lately. Some things just aren't getting done.

Can you get any outside help at all? I mean, I don't know how secretive you guys are in your world, seeing as everything's kind of... a real, global issue and all...

We are more public now that the problem has become as vastly public as it has, but the work that is left cannot be handled by our lesser staff. And some of it is at a level that only I can access.

Is there any of it you can just shove off onto the lessers, so you can do all the stuff that only you have access to?

[In no world should it be legal for one person in a group that's supposed to be working as a group to have that much responsibility on their own.]

The training required to do it would take longer than just doing it myself.
