[Huey was actually feeling pretty good that day, having recently been intimate with Strangelove, as he wandered into a random room that was drawing him in. Then his eyes lit up with interest as he rolled up to a small table with something glorious upon it. He hadn't had a Ziganov in years so he excitedly opened up the pack of cigarettes, lit up, and smoked that vanilla flavor. He let out a long smokey pleased sigh when he suddenly froze, seeing writing appearing across the wall in front of him and his own voice reading a familiar love letter to the room.]

        Hey. Long time no see, huh?

        Sorry for writing to you out of the blue like this. I've been trying to get in touch, but, you know, you haven't been answering... Was it something I said, maybe? If so, I apologize. It's just there's something I want to tell you. So... I decided to put it in a letter...
        I mean, obviously this isn't the best time at all. But I was, you know, kind of curious. About your... research and stuff... Speaking of which, how's the pod coming along? I was wondering whether that program I wrote was working or not. You know, the one that links our two AIs together. If it's not, I could always... go over and fix it... if that's OK, of course. For my own peace of mind, really. You know make sure the program's feeling alright... Er. I guess you wouldn't really say a program 'has feelings,' would you? Ha ha ha...
       Sorry. I'm getting off track here. So, um anyway I've been meaning to tell you something for the longest time. I've been thinking... back when we first met at NASA... those were fun times. You know, living the dream, getting to work all the time with the... the science we loved. Ever since then I've always held you... your... your... research, that is... in highest esteem. No, more than that... I think you're a... a w-w-w-wonderful person. S-Sorry I don't even know what I'm trying to say here. So when you disappeared from NASA all of a sudden, I was devastated. That's when it finally dawned on me... I.. I need you... For my research, you see. I mean, no! Well, yes and no. It's hard to explain...
        Anyway when I saw you were in Costa Rica I could hardly believe it. I thought maybe a divine intervention or something... you know, like it was written some where that we were meant to be like this. You and me, the two of us, from now on... you know... just you and me... doing research together... I mean not just research... well... there's research of course... But research can have so many different meanings, can't it? I'm rambling again, sorry. But we don't have much time left. When Peace Walker is finished, that's it right? There's the end of the project. So... what I'm trying to say is... us... Peace Walker is like something we created together, you know... And when it's finished... then we'll ...
        ... I know we're not done yet. Need to finish it first , right? Yeah. Until we do I just hope you won't disappear like you did on me last time.

        Sorry for taking up your time. I wish you the best of luck with your research.

        Your dear friend,

        Huey

[... He just sat there, dumbfounded, wondering what the hell he was thinking when he wrote that to Dr. Strangelove. Then Dr. Emmerich went back to smoking, hoping no one would see that old message.]

((Welcome to the Love Letter Room! Feel free to "write" one, or just think about it and it'll appear, to anyone within the Nexus or not - addressing it is optional. It shall write itself on one of the walls in the room and be read out loud. Be prepared for people's reactions. Have fun.))

[BE A MAN, HAL. SMOKE EVEN WHEN YOUR NOSE IS BLEEDING.]

Fine.

[He stuffed the box into his breast pocket, very satisfied with his find.]

So...

[Derp. What to talk about now?]

[Ohh let's go there.]

So you are really okay that I'm- that I'm kinda....you know. Like Mom.

[He looks at his dad carefully.]

[Considering how gay he was with Strangelove when he was a woman, and that Hal knew about this, changed his opinion on the matter. The man sighed a smokey sigh.]

I already told you, I don't care who you do as long as she's not involved with me.

[He still didn't quite understand the guy/guy thing but he had thoroughly enjoyed girl/girl so Huey figured he couldn't be as judgmental.]

[He smiled a bit to himself, feeling a weight off his shoulders.]

Means a lot to hear you say that.

Hm. I guess if I can be a part time lesbian, you can be who you want to be.

[He had actually thought a lot on the subject. Emmerich still felt a bit uncomfortable about it but he did want Hal to be happy. Huey was beginning to accept his son, and his choices, again.]

[He smiled despite his nose being sore.]

It's nice to just chat again. Really missed it.

[Huey was momentarily distracted thinking about Strangelove topping him.]

Uh, yeah yeah. I uh... kind of missed it, too.

[He pushed up his glasses, trying to hide a bit of flush there.]

[Hal wasn't totally convinced by that statement but he wasn't going to argue.]

I really am sorry about Julie...

[ He hung his head a bit, not very pleased with himself.]

If I knew some other way to appologize I would... I just really wish I had said something sooner after she came after me that one night...

[Huey wasn't fully convinced of it either. He shifted his gaze away when Hal brought up that subject again.]

... I... I still need to talk to her about that.

[He couldn't forgive or forget the subject yet. Something told him he needed to speak to his exwife or something. There was just some invisible hurdle he needed to metaphorically jump over to get pass it.]

[Hal nodded and looked down at the ground. Then he realized that he had effectiy ruined his dad's handkerchief with all the blood from his nose.]

Sorry about the handkerchief. Managed to make a mess of it just like everything else.

[He shook his head, although happy Hal dropped the subject - the whole thing with Julie wore him out.]

Just keep it. I have a few more back in my apartment.

[He nodded and pulled it back to check if it had stopped bleeding. Luckily it had.]

Sure hope I don't have some horrid bruise for weeks on end.

[He hadnt seen himself in a mirror yet and wasn't sure if he wanted to.]

Does it look that awful?

You could always cover it with a band-aid.

[The man shrugged then flinched when he saw it.]

Uh... A little, yes.

[Mostly because of all the blood but at least it was straighter now.]

[He grumbled to himself.]

Hope it heals straight too. Maybe I should go have someone xray it or something. Or ateast get cleaned up.

I could be wrong but I think there might be some doctors on the 11th floor. There's probably some somewhere in this damn place.

I would suggest cleaning your face before you go wandering around again. Might scare people off with that much blood.

[Huey lightly squished the smoke around his mouth, the activity almost being a sensual thing, then let it out extra slowly.]
