So, I wake up. Apparently I was data frozen.

But now my WIFE is frozen.

...

...

Son of a bitch.

Um, so, yeah.

I have a wedding anniversary... soon.

And.

Well.

...

I'm stumped.

Someone.

Help.

And Nanoha, you're not dragging me off to go shopping this time. >_>

...

Hn.

Me and Agumon were training with Ikuto and Falcomon just a few minutes ago...

They... vanished. Like. Just, disappeared.

D-Comm's not pickin' anything up. I had Brainy double check for me. Nothin'.

They're just ... gone. Back home, probably, but still just...

Gone.

...

So. Yeah.

Figured... I should tell everyone.

[ooc - I fail at Ikuto, even when dropping him. Meant for several weeks to do something of a final log with him to send him off, but... lost the inspiration somewhere along the way. If it ever comes back, I'll do it in fic form or something. Apologies to anyone I held up.]

...I missed him.

I missed that goddamned son of a bitch, JUST because Prime's Unit went instead of mine...

...

FUCK!

At least I'm gonna get to punch some big, heavy rocks...

Requesting to be put off-duty over the weekend.

Hoping I don't have to explain why.

I ain't gonna ignore things if they crop up, and I'm not gonna just go... sink into some hole.

But I'd be better off with my thoughts and my family this weekend than helping anyone.

Thanks.

Happy birthday, Yoshino.

[ATTACHED - Lets try this again, with less EPIC FAIL. A jeweled necklace, and an invitation to a rather fancy restaraunt.]

You've been working hard lately on things, so you deserve a chance to take a break.

CHIKA! Happy brithday, little sister!

[Attached - ...you know what, the mun is terrible at coming up with gifts in real life. Lets just steal Chika's own gag from Takeru's b-day here and say it's either something really awesome, or totally, totally lame. With Masaru, it could easily be either.]

Heya.

Haven't really had a chance to do this, what with a bunch of crap piling up right around when this was announced. Like my wife freezing. And that murder...

But, I just wanted to yell at you guys. If y'don't know me, the name's Daimon Masaru, and I'm apparently your Unit Captain.

Ours isn't the kinda team that's there mainly for that espionage or tactical stuff, though I know a couple of you guys are supposed to be pretty good at that. That has its place, and there'll probably be times that we could use it, but our main point?

Beat the ever-lovin' crap out of anything that stands in the way of whatever direction we've been pointed in.

So, considerin' that... I really wanna get an idea of what you guys can do.

So.

...

You got a problem with my wife?

Is it just me...

Or is there a whole lotta frozen people lately?

...

Shit.

Ouch.

Note: Ikuto's boomerang plus head? Equals PAIN.

Augh. This is what I get for tryin' to talk sense into the kid instead of just punching him in the damned jaw.

[The time? The crack of dawn, February 14th.]

...

[ch-chak]

[a shuddering sound which seems to be distinctly like Trident Revolver being fired into the air several times breaks through the quiet of daybraek]

...since Dad seems to have the right idea... HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY, DIGITAL WORLD! THIS BEING A DAY CELEBRATING LOVE, I WOULD BE A POOR MAN IF I DIDN'T EXPRESS MINE FOR MY BEAUTIFUL WIFE, YOSHINO! NO ONE, NOTHING, NOT EVEN THE FORCES OF HEAVEN OR HELL THEMSELVES COULD TAKE AWAY HOW I FEEL, AND EVERYTHING YOU'VE GIVEN ME IN THE PAST YEAR! NOTHING I COULD EVER GIVE YOU WOULD EVER FULLY REPAY THAT, BUT SO LONG AS I LIVE AND BREATHE, I DAMN SURE PLAN ON TRYING! I LOVE YOU MORE WITH EVERY DAY, AND THE ONLY THING I CAN REALLY SAY OTHER THAN THAT IS... THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!

KATSURO, SAYU! WE MIGHT BE FROM DIFFERENT TIMES OR PLACES, BUT YOU BOTH MAKE ME PROUD KNOWING YOU'LL CARRY ON FOR US, AND MAKE ME HOPE ANY CHILDREN I HAVE TURN OUT EVEN HALF AS WELL AS YOU!

TO THE REST OF MY FAMILY - I WOULDN'T BE HALF THE MAN I AM TODAY WITHOUT YOU ALL TO FIGHT FOR AND TO GUIDE ME! THANK YOU ALL!

AND IKUTO!

DO SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR MY LITTLE SISTER TODAY, OR I KICK YOUR ASS!

...

JUST SAYIN'!

[ooc - Am I just reiterating what Suguru did yesterday? Why, yes. Yes I am.

But what kind of Masaru player would I be if I didn't have him follow right behind in his father's footsteps? XD;

...and how did Masaru manage to WORK the Royal Base's PA System properly? Good question! It's amazing what a good bribe will do, yes?

Oh, and. No. Not affected.]

AUGH! [sound of a body - namely, Agumon's, roughly hitting the ground]

...okay, Agumon, that's two times now.

ONE MORE TIME! I THINK I'VE GOT IT THIS TIME! I need to get used to this body! I mean, what if we got attacked, huh?! THIRD TIME'S THE CHARM! I'LL KICK YOUR ASS THIS TIME FOR SURE!

[familiar, Digi-Soul crackling sound]

...ooh! LOOK, ANIKI! IT'S DAIMON COLORED!

[audible sound of Masaru slapping his face]

[ooc - Normaltext = Agumon, Italics = Masaru.]

...so, ah. Huh. Just realized... s'been a year since I was first in Tetha, and met up with Dad... and Hououmon.

...which'd also mean it's a couple days till...

...

SO. Um. Hey.

What'd be a good thing for... ah... kind of a... sorta anniversary...? Not like a first date... or even first... meeting.

Just.

...

I think it's kind of important. And it's been a long year, both good and... well. Really freakin' bad.

So.

Yeah.

...

...

Man. You're kinda boring.

Kinda hard for ya to suggest anything when I'm ALREADY MARRIED to the woman I love, dumbass.

...um. Hm. ...YEAH, WELL, THERE IS THE FACT SHE HAS YOU BY THE-

Say anything smart, and I'm gonna have more kindling for a nice fire tonight.

YOU WOULDN'T.

Try me.

...wait, MORE?

...

You realize, if I die, two will rise in my place.

WELL THAT'S SORTA UP TO YOU.

[click]

I've already talked to my Dad and Yoshino about this, but I figure everyone needs to know.

I ran into Kurata yesterday. He tried to hold Katsuro as a hostage so he could off me, but, well... obviously it didn't work out how he planned.

Turns out, his "partner" Astamon ended up basically telling him to screw himself and high-tailed it out of there.

Kurata got away, but... if that bastard didn't have a lot to work with before, he's got even LESS now.

--ap out of it, DUMBASS!

Aniki, wha-

[the ever distinct sound of Masaru's fist impacting with something - this time, Agumon's head]

AUGH

[THUNK]

[THUNK]

[THUNK]

[THUD]

NEXT TIME, I'M KICKING YOU IN THE NU--

[connection lost]

Not complaining, or blaming anyone, but.

If I was gonna get reassigned, this sure as hell was about the worst time possible.
