Valentine's Day was weary but not as bad as I had thought. Though working it was bearable with my friend beside me. We enjoyed a nice meal I had cooked before hand. I thought it would be nice considering neither of us would spend this time with family or anyone special. Though neither of us have such things. At least for me, family is not in the area...

Viveka was happy to have me home later the next day. Though I can spend some time with her today, my first official day off since this madness happened.

(Locked to Vossler)

Ah... someone was wondering if we were fighting on Valentine's night... I guess we were loud? I told them it was nothing of concern, that there was no argument, merely a slight disagreement.

Even though I shall see you in a little while I wanted to wish you a happy Valentine's, Vossler. Aya I hope you have a good day as well. I hope you have someone important to spend it with.

After I am done feeding Viveka and grabbing a few things I shall be down to the station, Vossler. Do you mind if I bring my coffee maker?

Well... I think we have found all the bodies of our comrades who perished in the explosion.

I cannot believe how many died. A shame... though it does not make things easier at the station. We are suppose to protect the people, but how shall we do so when they attack us? When there are so few of us compared to before? Hopefully their will be recruits soon, though too many fresh from school... it would not be much help, and they could be more trouble than anything.

Perhaps I think too negatively? I think that is the case this week.

... the kitten has noticed this I think. She curls up in my lap frequently when I am home, purring. I do appreciate her attempt to lift my spirits, and it works to a point. I am glad she has grown use to the apartment now, as well as myself. Though there are still times if I move too quickly when she is around it shall frighten her. She is quite the little lady though. Very clean and proper. She has yet to make a mess in the house. I am very impressed I must say.

I did think of a name for her. Viveka, it means 'little woman'. It is a German name. Though I am a bit rusty, I do speak it. I knew it better when I was a child as my family grew up in Germany.

I have gone on too much again. Well, I should finish this and eat a little. I have to go in for a night shift now. Morning and night shift... this shall wear me out quickly I am sure.

So many young men and women... their bright futures... gone. It is sad to know they shall never reach their potentials in life whether great or not. Now they have no chance to begin trying.

It has been a few days since the explosion and still my ears ring from it, or maybe it is merely my imagination.

As we clean up the rubble of our station we must mourn those who have passed, while slowly piecing together the one responsible. This is not the best start to a new year.

... does anyone know much of cellphones? I need to purchase a new one. My other was lost in the explosion as I was foolish and left it in our office earlier in the day.

(Private / Hackable for his fail computer skills)

I have had a few partners in the past, young upstarts, and typically fellow men. Though I prefer to work alone as those partners never worked out. I have been told I was... too serious or overbearing in my concern for them.

I do not see how that could be a bad thing...

Never the less, those who had been my partners typically went to another station, if not asked for a younger partner to be with.

I think was Vossler was losing hope in finding me a partner that could put up with me. Though just recently I have acquired a new one. She seems very capable so far, and her work ethic is good. I only hope I do not drive her away as I did the others.

(/Private)

Aya, I hope you have been settling in well? If you have any problems or concerns I am here if you need me.

Work was rather interesting today. I did not expect it to end how it did.

To be plain, as I cannot get into details, there was a drug bust and the home was so filthy and ridden with the fumes of the drugs we found that we had to confiscate the pets the owned as well. They have no family in the area so all the pets are being handled by the local animal shelter.

Most of the animals were adults and besides slight malnutrition seemed fine... but there was one small kitten among them. It must have been fairly new.



This is a picture I took at the station... I have to say, I felt bad for the poor thing... ah, which is why I brought it home. I live alone and have been contemplating a companion for sometime, though I had thought a dog, but I think this tiny feline shall do. She is quite sweet, though skittish.

I need to think of a name for her...


((ooc: Anyone who had some sort of relationship with Basch prior to his reset you are welcome to contact me and we can figure something out if you'd like to have something with him. Unless you'd just like to have him meet your character over again 8D and start fresh!))

All journal posts prior to this right here are from before I restarted Basch. I don't feel like deleting them. They are part of what I've done with him in RY and I love it.

Also for anyone that might want to read back or whatever.

So yay 8D

NEW BASCH TIMES~!

I think my situation is bad... then look what happens to others.

In realty I could be much worse off.

Balthier could have left me... everyone at Shinra, not had any faith in me... Rufus could have been killed...

I have no reason to feel bad for myself or situation, when there are others suffering as well.

I have never been more happy to come home.

Moo... Moo was afraid of me at first... she did not remember me.

... forgive me, I do not know what to put on here. I have been let out on bail, but cannot leave the city. I cannot go near work... but, I at least have Balthier and Moo.

Thank you love, thank you for being there for me through all of this.

I would thank those who came to visit me, but I would not wish to make trouble for them.

Most importantly... I am sorry for everything, but I shall not take the blame for this. I love you Rufus. You are the son I shall never have, and I would never, ever bring harm to you. I feel like I have lost you... but... I understand, but you most also understand that I shall not let you blame me for this.

So forgive me.

Reno, stay as long as you need to. Your company is not unpleasant in the least.

It has been far too long since I made a post on this.

I do not think anyone suffered over me not sharing my personal life. Though it is far too early to be up. Balthier and I have returned from the premier of his movie... it was very good. I am proud of him, he kept up very well with all the other actors. And oh lord... those pants... how could anyone keep their mind on anything else?

I do highly advise seeing the movie tomorrow when it comes to theaters here. Very good if you like fantasy action movies. But then perhaps I am bias, as Balthier is in it.

... I need to go into work today and see what has piled up.


(ooc: Hey thar people. Sorry for not being around again. Still attempting to get the internet peeps to my place, they need to come fix my receiver or whatever, but someone needs to be here and blah blah, and even though I have this lame signal I've been using... I've really just not had any drive to RP here. I'm trying to get back into things I swear. And thank you Maddie for keeping Basch off the chopping block. I had forgotten to do an entry for him before ♥)

cptronsenburg is distressed.

If it's not one thing, it's another. Your life is a pitiful wreck, and it's all you ever write about. Why don't you at least make up a happy story for once. Your friends would appreciate that.

wanna know your lj's moodring color? enter your user name and hit the button. (discussion thread)

Is this true?

I am sorry if it is.

(Private to Balthier and Sephiroth/ totally hackable)

I think... I may have done something to distance Rufus... but I am not sure what?

He has been acting strange towards me. I do not know what to do... I have pondered asking him... but I know he shall most likely avoid answering.

*sighs* I do not know, am I being paranoid?

(Not viewable to Vossler as he knows this would break his heart DX)

This is a few days late, forgive me.

My birthday was very nice. Balthier pampered me rotten the entire day. Breakfast in bed with much activities in bed after... and a nice warm shower together, and a very lovely day spent together, and later for dinner he brought me to that little restaurant I am fond of.

In which he surprised me yet again.


With this.

I was not expecting it... but then again I should have. I have to say, I could not stop smiling long enough to finish eating, so I had to box up most of my dinner and take it home. When we returned home... um... let us say I showed him how much I appreciated his gifts. *blushing for even typing that and hinting at things XD*

I cannot believe it... another year has passed and I grow older.

Thirty-seven.




God I am an old man.

... I tire of being home and doing nothing.

Perhaps I could have Vossler bring some work over for me. I feel rather useless sitting idle in my home. Even Moo has become bored of me.

Balthier, love, I hope work is well for you. I miss you.

I am glad to be out of there. Though the doctors told me to stay home and rest... I shall do what I can concerning that, but I must get back to work. Things need doing and they shall not get done if they are sitting on my desk collecting dust.

... now that I have Balthier's heart and the promise of our future together... should I... I do not wish to hurt Vossler but... I cannot keep it... not anymore. *sighs* I do not want to hurt him...


(ooc: No strike for you guys 8D)

(Text from his phone while under lots of drugs XD)

Rufus listn to Sephiroth I dont need to com back from this too have you hurt as well

Thank you for well wishes frm everyone I shall get beter as fast as I can

Oh Baltheir is here I need to go befo

(Annnnd Balthier probably took the phone from him at this point and hit the send button by accident XD)

Five months today. I am happy that things are still going well between us.

I love you, Balthier Mid Bunansa.

Only five months... is it still too soon? It does not matter now... I have already bought it...


(ooc: Strike only viewable to Rufus, Yukari and Vincent)

Balthier is gone again.

I should be use to this by now... It does not make being apart from him any easier.
