10:02 pm - Saturday Evening
|
After stopping in to check on Parker at detention, Michael went back to make some arrangements. By the time she was released at 5 he'd managed to break in gain access to her room, set out the special dinner he'd arranged for, and set up candles and flowers in the room.
Then he sat back and waited for her to arrive.

9:39 pm - Parker
|
Homecoming went very well, all things considered, but something strange happened with Parker. She was being overly... kind and considerate. And happy - giddy almost. I'm not sure exactly what happened, but ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) notcalledlizzie suggested she may have been replaced by someone or some thing - given the strange goings on here I suppose that is not impossible, though I'm more inclined to think she was given some sort of drug or hypnotic suggestion. In any case, I stuck close beside her all evening. I had thought in her altered state she might let slip some information, but I could not bring up the Pretender program without rousing suspicion as I'm not supposed to know anything about it or her father's connection with the program.
It was a surprisingly nice evening. Though she's no Nikita, she is quite beautiful and dances very well. The softer version of her, though disturbing for a multitude of reasons, was very nice to spend time with and reminded me a little of Elena.
I did try to check on her yesterday, but when I went to her room she just yelled through the door that she wasn't speaking to anyone - clearly back to her old self. Later she went into town to Phale's bookshop and spoke with the student whom I'm certain I recognize as an assassin I ran into once. Must remember to have Birkhoff check him out.
I plan to go check on Parker again soon - need to continue to play the part of the dutiful boyfriend. Thankfully it is no hardship to spend time being romantic with her.

8:49 pm - Private Email to Ms. Parker
|
Email to Ms. Parker equally encrypted and locked.
Dear M...,
I'm sorry it's taken me some time to find the words to respond to you. I think perhaps part of me wondered if there was someone else. At times you just seemed as if there was something you were hiding. But all of us have things we would prefer not to reveal - I certainly have things I would find it hard, if not impossible to share.
I can't say that I am not hurt - I am. But I still feel that there is something real between us. Our twilight walk in the woods and the kiss we shared, the moments on the roof together... I have to believe that I was seeing the real you then and that you truly cared about me. And perhaps it was one of those moments that made you decide to end things with Rob Gordon. I don't know.
But I would like to try again, to really give this relationship a chance. I see something very special in you, a depth to your soul that I don't believe you allow just anyone to see.
So... yes, I would still like to go to Homecoming with you. Let's make it a night to remember.
Michael
Michael reads over the letter critically, then nods in satisfaction. Things were progressing just the way he had hoped they would.

7:26 pm - LOCKED PERSONAL ENTRY
|
Took Ms. Parker on a romantic outing this Friday. No one showed up to run our Comparative Religions class so I thought this was the perfect opportunity to further our relationship and appear to be spontaneously romantic. I stopped by her room and invited her to join me for a twilight picnic and walk in the woods. She was most eager to join me and seemed captivated by the idea that someone would do this for her. I decided to push the relationship a bit further and at an auspicious time kissed her underneath one of the trees - long enough to be effective, short enough to leave her craving more. I think I achieved a nice appearance of a combination of flustered with a touch of male satisfaction. I returned her to her room, left her with another kiss and the promise of another date this Thursday.
Her secretive sexual relationship with Rob Gordon is clearly weighing on her and makes her even more willing to give me the benefit of the doubt should I slip up in any way - not that I expect to.
I have already overheard several conversations between her and the Pretender. I can't bring him up directly, but in time I think I may be able to get more information about him or perhaps be able to trace one of his calls. He would be an invaluable resource for Section One. Or, worst case, more information from MP on how the Pretenders were created or a way to access some of that information would be wonderful.
I have agreed to help her clean the roof tonight with others from the school. This will be a good opportunity to solidify our relationship in the eyes of the others at the school and place a bit more pressure on her due to her other relationship.
current mood:  satisfied

*Leaves note attached to Ms. Parker's door*
"Hope we still on for our date. Sorry I wasn't very available this weekend - my guardian called me home. Also, I was wondering - hoping - if you would do me the honor of being my date for Homecoming."
*Leaves single white rose with note*

8:01 am - Homework for Religion class
|
Fear of death is a complicated thing. There seem to be those who fear death because they do believe in an after life and are afraid they will go to hell or the equivalent due to "sins" they have committed while alive. Others seem to fear death because they believe that afterwards there is only nothingness. Others still fear the unknown - and death is certainly the first step into a great unknown.
As for my fear… If some greater Being exists who judges our actions… Will this Being look solely at our deeds or will the circumstances be considered?

12:19 am - Friday
|
This has been a long, odd week. I am signed up for three classes and my schedule is as follows:
Mondays:
Asian Languages - 2:30 to 4:00PM
Tuesdays:
Cat - 8:00 to 10:00AM
Religion - 4:00 to 6:00PM
Wednesdays:
Asian languages - 2:30 to 4:00PM
Thursdays:
Cat - 8:00 to 10:00AM
Fridays:
Asian Languages - 2:30 to 4:00PM
Religion - 4:00 to 6:00PM
I have also signed up to be part of the gun club and the martial arts club - and possibly the fencing club, though I'm not sure I will actually attend that one. I expressed an interest before I knew about the other two - simply as a way to meet my required one extra-curricular activity. I do NOT want to be sent to detention - I hear it is nearly as bad as Madeline's White Room. *shudders*
Asian Languages has been quite interesting. However, today, the professor had coffee set out for us and it smelled... different,s o I chose not to have any of it.
Cat is also intriguing. The professor actually turns us into cats, He says it's the only way one can really truly experience the language. I was particularly interested in this course as some people - yes, Nikita included - say that I am very cat-like and I thought it would be interesting to experience actually being a cat. It felt quite comfortable and I think I am going to enjoy spending more time as a cat. I am looking forward to next Thursday. I wonder if there is some way I can learn to transform my self into a cat. It would be invaluable for surveillance.
Religion Class with Professor Gandalf was... disturbing in a way. I found myself speaking of things in a way which I never have before. I didn't really want to say them, but there is something about his eyes and his presence that just draws things out of you. My roommate, emo_padawan is in the class, too, and we have both agreed that what happens in class stays in class.
I seem to have missed a great deal of excitement today - gremlins and a tentacled monster...
However, I am meeting mparkerceo Sunday afternoon and going to the movies with her. We've been, well, flirting a bit and I am rather enjoying it. She obviously must be as well.
Anyway, off to the bar with emo_padawan and some others. I really need a drink right about now!
ETA: I have been assigned 100 words on "the fear of death" for next week's religion class. That may be a difficult piece to write.

So far taking two language courses:
2:30 - 4:00 MWF Languages of Asia. Japanese, Chinese, Korean. Will include discussion of other languages of the Pacific Rim.
8:00 - 10:00 TTh. Cat. Lab time included. Will be mostly practicum. Will also discuss languages of the animal kingdom and understanding non-verbal language.
I'd like to be able to take a philosophy course with Professor Yoda. Still working on being inscrutable. I just about have the "blank stare" down.
Some form of martial arts class would also be useful as one can never have too much training in methods of hand-to-hand combat. I wonder if they'll have some sort of a weapons club - practice in marksmanship, you know?
Also, will be rooming with a padawan(?) named Anakin. He seems decent enough and has said he won't mind my phone ringing at odd hours or dealing with the occasional assassination attempt on my life. (I wonder how long it will take Red Cell to realize I'm here?)
Operations seems pleased with my progress so far, but he says Madeline wants me to stop by for a session. I hope he doesn't mean in the White Room. I might miss class and I'm not sure Madeline would be willing to write me an excuse.

I have signed up for Languages of Asia and Cat as I feel these would be most beneficial for me to study. I am hoping that the PE teacher shows up soon as I would like to round off my schedule with some form of additional hand-to-hand combat class.
I am looking for a roommate in the dorms, but am also considering applying to Mr. Echolls to share in his apartment off-campus.
I miss Nikita.

I have been assigned to attend ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) fandomhigh. I am unsure what my eventual mission here will entail, but for the moment I will attempt to take in all available data so that I will be able to properly report back when I am required to do so.
