Well, I'm quite relieved that it at last I seems I have completed the majority of all that work. Of course, there truly is no rest for the weary. As soon as I finish one project, another simply takes it's place...

Ahh, what I wouldn't give for a vacation!

Private:
And that gives me an idea. I'll have to pull some strings and spend some money, but I should be able to pull it off with out Fullmetal finding out.

To Al:
I've just finished putting the information on the animal shelter together. I'll send it home with Fullmetal, so hopefully you can get started with applying. I've also written up a recommendation for you, so I think you should be all set. I mean, really, how many other applicants with a letter of recommendation from a Brigadier General do you think an animal shelter gets?

To Fullmetal:
I hope things are going well with Al so far. I'm very sorry I had to leave so early, it's just been so busy lately. I know I said that I'd make somethings up to you a while ago, so I guess that doesn't really do for an apology... Nevertheless, we've both been busy lately. I hope we can get together sometime soon.

My. I can't believe Fullmetal almost missed work completely today. He was lucky that I just happened to stop in after checking the guards around the dorm. He really must not have very much stamina yet, for him to be so worn out.

Anyway, because of that little distraction, Fullmetal and I were both late to work. Unfortunately, a large stack of paperwork had already built up by the time I got there, and I had to stay late to finish. Oh well. I suppose that's what I get for being late in the morning.

Fullmetal:
Sorry for all that happened today. I think I managed to cover everything well enough, but I'm afraid it was at your expense... I guess I'll just have to make it up to you somehow, won't I?

The good news is, the more we do this, the better we'll get at it. Of course I'm referring to covering our tracks, but I imagine it can be applied to other areas as well.

Elrics:
Will one of you inform the guards that I was checking up on them this morning? I don't want someone to come snooping around and find out that I didn't...

Private:
I was really surprised by Fullmetal last night. I can't believe he went to all of that effort... Everything was so perfect. But this morning... I hated saying those things, epically after everything Ed did for me.

It's terrible for him that he should have to experience a relationship this way. It shouldn't have to be like this for him... He shouldn't feel like everything is such a big secret...

But it is, and I can't do anything about it. All I can do is hope that everything will work out and that he can put up with it until I rise above the rules and they cease to apply. In the meantime, I am extremely grateful for what I have now.

Ed will never stop amazing me.

Today has been...an odd day. I guess I'm not feeling too well, for some reason. It must be all of the excitement...with Scar and all, I mean.

Hmmmm... very odd. I haven't been this worked up in a while. I kept having to find excuses to avoid Fullmetal in order to prevent a very embarrassing situation.

I hope no one noticed anything.

...

I feel bad acting this way, and having to avoid him, but there's no way I can do anything about it or say anything to him. I don't want to pressure him, or anything like that. It may still be too awkward, I think.

Sun, 17 Sep 2006 21:28:29 GMT

The Elrics were attacked again last night. I'm reinstating the warrant for Scar, and having guards posted around the dormitories.

I'm coming over to check on you and Alphonse. I know you probably don't want to hear this, but we might need to have bodyguards for you again... Now that you're more active in the military, Scar might be harboring even more resentment towards you.

I just don't want you to get hurt.

Mon, 21 Aug 2006 23:58:13 GMT

Well, I am now officially Brigadier General Roy Mustang. A rather impressive title, I must say. The ceremony seemed to drag on a bit, although I suppose it could have been worse. It's not as bad as you might think to spend a considerably long time listening to various esteemed people praise you for your accomplishments. It was actually rather enjoyable, I think.

The reception afterward was also nice. I must say it was quite considerate of Captain Hawkeye and Fullmetal's mechanic to bake a cake. Thank you. It was very good.

Mon, 21 Aug 2006 01:25:59 GMT

Well, you'd think that a diplomat returning from a foreign country would have an easier time getting over the boarder, but no. It took a very long time for me to pass all of they're ridiculous security checks. That, added to the fact that I'm positively exhausted from the trip back, leaves me in no mood to do much of anything. However, I've just received word that I'm to present to the Fuhrer and the rest of the Cabinet my findings.

I only just got back a few hours ago and they're already making me go back to work. It seems I'll never get off the line...although, after I'm through with the big shots, I'll have a chance to check up on Fullmetal and Hawkeye. Hopefully everything went smoothly while I was away...

Speaking of which, my trip went well. I stayed in the palace and was able to meet all of the heads of the prominent families of Xing, as well as all of the Emperor's children and extended family. Everyone was very hospitable, and the food was delicious. While I was staying at the palace, I had an interpreter and still managed to pick up a little Xingese. It's a very interesting language, actually.

I also acquired several books on Rentanjutsu. If I can find a skilled translator, I'll give them to the Elrics. Perhaps there are some clues they need in the oriental from of alchemy.

Well, this entry is making my trip sound as though I were on a vacation, but it's quite the contrary. The main issue that seemed to be at stake was the Emperor's failing health and the issue of his next successor. I can't say much of what I worked on, although I did make some very good progress. It appears that as of now, that everything is going very favorably for Amestris. The Fuhrer will be pleased, I believe.

I'm coming to pick you up as soon as the meeting's over. Do you think you can arrange to leave work early? I want to see you as soon as I can.

Thu, 20 Jul 2006 19:37:21 GMT

Well. It looks like this will be my last entry for quit a while. I've been so busy with paperwork for this trip that I haven't really had much time to update it...

Anyway, I've been selected to go on a diplomatic mission to Xing. I'll be gone for as long as a month, starting tomorrow. I've left the Major in charge.

To Hawkeye: Please help Fullmetal get used to things. I know everything will be fine with you there to aid him.

I want to apologize again for leaving like this...I'm really going to miss you.

Also, I wanted to ask you not to worry as much as I did. Enjoy your time being in command, and leave the worrying to me, alright?

Oh, and please don't do anything too outrageous, wait for me to get back to do that okay? Listen to the First Lieutenant, too. She knows what she's doing, and can handle anything that comes up.

Thu, 13 Jul 2006 05:47:53 GMT

Still no word from Fullmetal. It's been almost three weeks. I wonder if he's doing alright...

Not that it matters. Things are progressing smoothly enough without him, as they always have.

Ugh. Who am kidding? I hope he gets back soon...

Things may indeed be "progressing smoothly," but I'm getting very anxious about the situation.

It looks like I may be forced to leave on military business soon... I hope he's back before I leave... but only because it seems it might be difficult to run the office with so many people out.

[ooc: And Roy continues to sink further into angst land. XP;; The icon appears as the smug one~!]

Mon, 03 Jul 2006 00:49:30 GMT

Hmmm...and now it seems that the first lieutenant has a journal as well.

Fullmetal has yet to return, and I haven't heard from him. Not that he'd be likely to contact anyone. Even though he hadn't been working very long before he had to leave, it still seems as though, without him, that not everything is being completed. ~~Although that may be my fault...~~

I wish I had someway of getting in touch with him. I'm worried, though I know I shouldn't be, and I have no way of knowing if something's happened or if they've found the stone at last. I just wish he hadn't left. It's what's important to him, so I'm not upset that he's left, although I'm perhaps a little jealous...

How very silly.

It's been difficult to keep my mind on anything other then his imagined peril, which is pathetic. If I am to feel anything about this, than I should be excited for him. Happy that he may finally restore his brother and himself. But I, like a spoiled child, can only focus on the negative...

[ooc: Haha. Roy's angsting again. I enjoy doing that too much. Anyway, strikeouts are private. :D!]

Fri, 16 Jun 2006 23:11:21 GMT

It looks like Fullmetal will be around a lot more often - he's going to start working full time. It'll be nice to have the extra help, and I'm going to make sure I take full advantage of the situation.

I'm sorry about this. I have no idea what I was thinking. I know the last thing you'd want is to be forced into a job like this, and I didn't even give you the chance to avoid it. I'm so sorry. If you don't want to work, I'll try and find some way to back you out of it, but I need to know right away because it'll be somewhat complicated...the word has already gotten around that you're starting full time. Although, I hope that you'll at least give it a try. I'd really like the chance to see you so often without having to make some kind of excuse...

By the way Fullmetal, I had a wonderful time at lunch. We probably can't go out like that again, things being what they are, but we still should do something together soon.

[ooc: Icon should appear as the smug one~!]

Wed, 07 Jun 2006 01:28:06 GMT

Well all of the sudden, I'm feeling much better. After being indisposed for such a long time, I've think that my recent recovery is cause for a small celebration; lunch perhaps.

Fullmetal, I hope that our plans have remained unchanged, as I think I should be able to get some time off during the next week or so. I'll treat, of course. Additionally, I have some things I need to...discuss with you, so I was hoping that we could plan for a day when both of our schedules are relatively open.

That was certainly not what I expected to happen, although I'm very pleased with the results.

I don't know why I was so worried about any of this. Fullmetal may still be young, but I'm quite sure he's mature enough to make valid decisions for himself, and I should trust that if this is what he truly wants than I have no reason to worry about our relationship causing problems, of any sort, for either of us.

I only hope that this isn't a bias conclusion based on my own emotions and desires...

Wed, 31 May 2006 00:16:45 GMT

With all the hard work I've been doing lately, I deserve a day off. I think I'll be calling in sick tomorrow.

I must be out of my mind. Why did I do that to him? I should have had more self control. Although, looking back, it really wasn't all that bad...it was just a kiss, and he was the one who did it anyway.

I shouldn't be trying to rationalize this. I'm sick. That's all there is to it. Falling for a kid? You idiot Roy.

[ooc: Icon appears as the smug one. :D]

Mon, 15 May 2006 02:24:19 GMT

I recently sent a pair of lovely platform shoes to Fullmetal, and he stopped by this morning to thank me for being so considerate. We then spent the afternoon at a cafe near by and walked back together. Unfortunately, Fullmetal got sick and collapsed, and was lucky I caught him in time. I ended up helping him back to the military building, and because of that I had to stay late to finish my paperwork.

I hope you're feeling better now, Fullmetal. Oh, and do they fit alright?

I actually feel a little bad about what I did to him, but I suppose it was worth it for the opportunity to help him like that. It seems like I can never do anything for him, and I would like to be around to support him more often...

...

It is strange that I feel this way about him, but I suppose that since it can't be helped, it must be ignored.

Mon, 08 May 2006 04:11:39 GMT

I overheard one of my subordinates talking about this, and I decided that it's investigation took priority over my paper work...that may just be an excuse, but this looks like fun, and it appears that Fullmetal has a journal...

This may indeed prove to be a better use of my time then the busy work I was doing before. I'll have Second Lieutenant Breda finish it up for me--I have a date tonight.
