101 Attempts- Taking Notes
Title: And He Has To Do This Every Day
A/N: This chapter is told through Link's observation notes.
._.
Walker has woken up because of Cross Marian's partying. Subject is irritated, and has thrown the lamp at Cross, who is ruining Allen's social life by declaring him "homosexual" on Facebook. Cross has retaliated by hitting subject on the head. It is currently 5:51 in the morning. Walker is trying to go back to bed.
Cross says: "Wake up, idiot."
He is rather rude, unlike Walker.
"Go away, please," requests Walker.
Walker has manners, even under the most pressing of circumstances. Even when his master is hitting him on the head like a petulant child, he retains his polite demeanor. Is Cross Marian really a general? I wonder about that, but I have yet to see him in battle.
"Come on, I'm bored," Cross complains and pokes Walker, who is trying to sleep under his covers.
"Fine," Walker sighs.
Walker gets out of bed, still tired and appears to not see where he is going. Walker has fallen and he cannot get up. We don't call Life Alert.
Subject is attempting to change, but he is too tired to lift up his shirt. Cross goes over to help him change. It seems like a gentle and loving family moment to me. Perhaps these two are closer than we think?
Then Cross takes Walker's shirt and randomly puts it over his head, strangling him. Walker begins to cry and Cross is laughing maniacally.
On second thought, perhaps Cross is what they call a "douchebag."
Cross lets go and apologizes when Walker's face almost turns blue. Walker pouts but forgives him anyways. Had I been in that situation, I would have killed that man. I keep my opinion to myself.
Cross is approaching me now.
Abort. Abort.
"What are you writing?" he questions me.
I do not answer him.
"Hey, can you spell something for me?" I don't know what he would need help spelling, but I accept.
"Spell ICUP out loud," he requests.
That doesn't seem suspicious.
"I… C… U… P-"
Wait a minute.
Cross breaks out into a mad laughter again and Walker blinks blearily at us. I can't believe I fell for that, but at least no one else is around.
"What a pervert!" Cross mocks and picks up Walker by the scruff of his neck.
Jackass. Bastard. Asshole. Jerk. Scumbag.
Those are the words I'm thinking right now to describe Cross Marian, in case you are wondering.
Most of the day consists of Allen eating, us filling out paperwork, and Cross harassing my charge. I tell the general to go away, but he takes half of Allen's doodled-on papers and begins to do them for him. I can't complain about that (since we can never get this general to work), but I wonder why he is working now.
Is it possible that Cross is attempting to make up for the strangling incident earlier? Does he want Allen to get off work early to bother him more? Does this man want money?
"Allen, I need you to do something for me later," he tells Walker.
"What is it, master?" Walker is in a better mood now that he has eaten.
"Socalo put another melon in my room," Cross explains. "I can't go back until it's gone. You know how it is."
Someone should get that man to therapy. His melon trauma is bothersome.
"It would be easier for you to just let me go." Walker must be referring to Socalo's recent attempts to separate them. I don't know much about Walker and Socalo's history, but at some point they had been master and apprentice. Cross had won him back in a bet after Socalo lost at a violent match of rock-paper-scissors.
Cross doesn't like the idea of Walker leaving him.
Wait, that sounds gay.
Let me rephrase that: Cross doesn't like the idea of Walker being someone else's apprentice.
"I'm not going to do that! You're my bitch, Allen," Cross protests, appalled by that suggestion. "You're mine."
Walker is confused by this statement.
"I thought I was Timcanpy's bitch." Walker stops his workflow to converse with his master. I frown at this, because if we don't do something about that pile, it will build up and kill us.
Cross has also stopped working. "No, I put my name on you while you were sleeping! That means I own you, right?"
This is pissing me off.
"Get back to work," I (sternly) tell them.
Why do I even bother with this job?
Walker quits bickering and goes back to work. If I don't get him away from the general, our paperwork will never go away. I suggest escaping to him as Cross leaves for coffee.
"Okay," Walker smiles. "Where should we go?"
"To the library,"I answer.
The library is the only safe haven in this god forbidden place. We are currently moving our papers from the cafeteria to peace and quiet. I will continue writing when we arrive there.
…
I am in the hospital. Please allow me to explain myself.
Halfway through our trip, General Cross caught up with us. I told Allen to run and I challenged Cross to a battle.
I won't go into full detail, but I lost the fight. We then went to find Allen, who we found climbing out a window. As soon as Walker saw us, he screamed and let go of the windowsill. He didn't break any bones from the fall, since we had been on the second floor. We jumped out after him, but Walker tried to make a break for it.
Cross summoned Grave of Maria to prevent him from running, and we were about to head back when I slipped on a banana peel. I tripped up the stairs and got paper cuts from all of the papers I dropped.
I don't know where Walker and Cross are at this moment, but I would suggest that you assign Walker a new guardian when you do find them.
Also, remove that melon from General Cross's room.
Signed,
Howard Link.

Incase You Missed It
Attempt: Climbing out the window after Link told him he could escape.
Foiled by: Grave of Maria.
There might be more of these journal entries if I'm too lazy to write a proper chapter.
I will respond to reviews later. I'm feeling a little down right now, so I'm not really in the mood to talk. Sorry if that comes off as rude; I'm just upset because of something that happened. It doesn't help that I'm starting school on monday, either.
