Why is this in my inbox?

Hiyoshi, no. You cannot have any money to look for aliens. At least not with the lousy specs you wrote for this project. I need more details before I give you money, old tennis teammate or not.

We're not looking for aliens. We're looking for exoplanets that may contain liquid water, which is necessary for extraterrestrial life. Did you even read the grant proposal?

[atoberex]

I did. It says right here on page 1 (of which there are only three pages and one is a diagram), "Please give us money to look for aliens."

[gamesetimatch]

Well fuck. I apologize...that wasn't meant to be seen outside the department. It was a formatting draft so Sensei could check my headers. FUCK.

[ooc: strikes deleted!]

[gamesetimatch]

...I will send you the finished proposal.

Kashi-kun is looking for aliens? Suggeee, can I go join him if he needs a mechanic, Kei-kun? Aliens are soooo neat~! ET....goes....home....

[gamesetimatch]

We wouldn't be going anywhere.

[jirouvolley]

Oh. That's booooooooooring, Kashi-kun. What's the point of searching for aliens if you don't actually go to space?

[gamesetimatch]

We can't currently exceed the speed of light in a vacuum; it would take hundreds, if not thousands, of years to find aliens with a ship. Even if we could, we would still need to know which direction to travel before leaving earth.

Well, I needed a good laugh. Thank you for that.

Ahn? Have you had a bad day, my Yuushi?

[kansai_romantic]

Just brooding, as is my wont sometimes. you know how I get.

[ooc; Why is Yuushi trying to get me to read Byron? >.>]

[atoberex]

I do. Shall I send a car for you and have you come read bad poetry to me while I read silly reports by the fire?

[ooc: Because he's in a sappy romantic mood? :D ]
