Hello again. Did you miss us? We missed you. I shouldn't think anyone else will mention that, wrapped up as they are with their own stuff. I, of course, think only of you guys, because frankly it's more pleasant than thinking about the people of Perplex City. It's been a hell of a few months. For the city, for the Academy, for the Kiteway family, for me, my sister and my well-yeah-maybe-he-is boyfriend.

So. In the beginning, there was Earlywine, great and holy and filled with renewed promise for an invigorated city giving up this stupid obsession with Earth. Except, you've still got our Cube so that plan was hardly likely to last a thousand years, was it? Plus, the Earth shoe fetish still shows no signs of losing ground. Polls have showed Earlywine's popularity steadily declining over the past six weeks as more and more people come to this unavoidable conclusion. And now the link's been re-opened because, well, I guess Kurt will fill you in on the finer points of security breaches. That is, when he's finished clearing out his desk after his suspension. I said: "look on the bright side Kurt, time for a little holiday!" He gave me his 'you've just said something so stupid I'm not even going to dignify it with a response' look. Or it could have been his 'I want some dim sum' look. They're easily confused.

The rest of the CRT hasn't had a particularly happy few months either. Garnet's been promoted to head up the team and has been walking round with a permanent scowl on his face. Aiko's got even more secretive and defensive about her incomprehensible projects, Tippy's regularly stopped turning up to work for days at a time without letting anyone know where she is leaving us all to fear (or hope, depending on perspective) that she's finally collapsed under the weight of her own ego and won't ever be coming back. Poor Von's suffered the worst fate of all; after the thorough 'investigations into the behaviour and actions of the CRT' it was decided that employing him when he was only 17 had 'breached his rights as a young Perplexian' and he was strongly encouraged to 'pursue an academic route for the time being'. Of course, all the colleges fought over who should get him, and he's apparently got the largest scholarship grant ever given by Edyta College but he really wants to be back on the CRT. Kurt says that Von still turns up at the office most days, bag full of work he could do blindfold, kicking the tables and looking like a proper moody teenager. Which is slightly amusing, since that's pretty much how Kurt looks now too.

Caine's been spending much of his time over at my apartment. Which, apart from anything else, I'm grateful for because he's been great with Scarlett. Scarlett has been... not so great. She rises and falls, rises and falls. One day she seems fine, back to her old self, gets out her books or calls a friend. And the next day I find her crying in the shower. Or waking up in the middle of the night screaming. To be really honest, I just can't take it anymore. We've made peace with my father, some sort of temporary truce anyway - he had us over for dinner a couple of weeks ago with Camryn Scott, another person at more of a loose end than she used to be - and Scarlett's moving back in there today. I don't know if it'll help her, but I just need a break.

And as for my father... he's held onto his job, just about. The 'investigative team' has been working on his office particularly hard. Patrick, my father's secretary, has a scowl to match Garnet's - it's been down to him to provide the investigators with all the information they need and, well, we still don't know what's going to come out of all of this. I expect I'll see them all at the ball this evening and get as much info as I can. I can't help feeling it's going to be a bumpy night.

One update from almost everyone in the gang... wonder if we're going to see one from Caine today as well?
