From: (absentee fiance)
Subject: sleep well?
I didn't - sleep at all, I mean. Yes, I know. But things are beginning to move along here, and I've never been very good at sleeping while on a job. Plus Haroun was bitching that I snore, so I figured I'd stop giving him the excuse to carp. (Yes, I'm being grumpy. There's this continuing lack of you in my immediate vicinity and I'm just not coping all that well. So there.)
You know, this city never actually sleeps? Went out for a bit of a drive in the middle of the night and there was still activity everywhere. For all that I spent so many years living in the Southwest, I only passed through Vegas once or twice. I really didn't miss much. There is such a thing as too much neon.
Love you,
Nathan

...is a pain in the bloody ass, and whines like a little girl. "You snore, Nathan! You snore like a runaway freight train!" So I went and didn't sleep last night, just for him. Then he complained about me hogging the coffee this morning. If it wouldn't have been such a bad example to the kids - I keep telling them they're not allowed to fight - I would have strangled him at the breakfast table. Wanda is finding it all too terribly amusing.
It must be awfully quiet back there with so many of us here. (At least, I'm hoping it's awfully quiet.) Want me to bring you something less-tacky back from this tacky, tacky city?

Subject: how goes?
Still feeling better than you were, I hope? You might be interested to know that Amanda and Jubilee have not, in fact, managed to kill each other yet. Also, Forge is still convinced that I'm a schizophrenic ninja. I find this very amusing.
I've been doing my meditation - have you been doing yours? Oddly enough, nothing that we're doing here this week seems to be triggering my precog. I'm not sure why. It is fairly significant, after all - but maybe it's not long-term enough for me.
Doug is doing just fine, so don't worry. Did you know, though, that Forge doesn't like him very much? I hadn't noticed that before now. I feel a certain solidarity.
Take care,
Nathan

Subject: hey there
Had a little time to sit down and write some emails, so I figured I'd add you to the list. Everyone's doing okay down here - things are pretty quiet at the moment. I imagine you're probably pretty busy studying for finals and the like just now? Don't be afraid to go to Moira if you need help with anything. I know she'd want you to.
Did you know your roommate thinks I'm a ninja?

Got some time to sit down and write a few emails today, so here I am. We're having a quiet morning. Everyone's doing okay - I'm keeping a close eye on Amanda, not to worry. She's missing you and Manuel quite a bit, I think.
Do me a favor? Take Joyita up to play with Bella? She's probably in a very bitchy mood this week.
Talk to you soon,
Nathan

Yeah, this is me wondering how well Moira is doing with the whole not-working-herself-into-the-ground thing while I'm gone. I called her last night and woke her up out of a nap - which I can't help but interpret as a good sign - but I know her too well. I can't help but worry.
I imagine it must be pretty quiet back there, with so many of us trouble-magnets out of the mansion at the same time. Things are okay here. The kids are doing pretty well - very little snarkiness and no fights, amazingly enough. I'm still keeping a close eye on some of the more volatile pairs. (Yes, I mean Amanda and Jubilee, primarily.) I'm also trying to convince myself that bringing Alison's boyfriend back in anything less than mint condition would cause her to pout at me. I should really resist the temptation, shouldn't I?

Yeah, algebra's kicking my butt. Forge said something about see-saws but I just kinda want to throw this book out the window. Again.
English Lit's easy. Cake. Allergy-free cake, even, cause I had most of this stuff last year and they're giving me extra time on the exam because of the can't-sit-still-thing. Dr. Moira's idea, and it worked for her Biology class, so hopefully it'll go okay here too.
Forge thinks you're a what? I mean, I knew he kinda didn't like you, cause he keeps calling you "Mr. Dayspring", or "Dayspring" or stuff like that, but a ninja? Why does he think you're a ninja?
Forge is pretty beaned in the head sometimes, I think. He's convinced the girls in the music store were giggling at me.
