Wayne smiled. "Please, I look nothing like him! I am the much better looking Frois brother."
*Bunker*
The one thing that might have stood out the most to Silvite was that Karen's bedroom was in total contrast to the rest of the dank, grey base. For example, Karen's bedroom had very soft, light blue carpet. In fact, most of the room was a soft, friendly blue colour. There was a rather large bed by the door, with a nightstand on both sides. On the bed was an abundance of large pillows and stuffed animals. There were quite a few closets too. Some had nothing decorating them, whie others had warnings like biohazard and nuclear material symbols. The one Epsilon described had nothing on it. In one of the corners, there was a security camera. On the wall below it, there was a keypad that turned it off, most likely so Karen could have some privacy. Epsilon, however, must not have known the code, as the camera was noticibly broken, and was hanging from the ceiling by a few stray wires. There was also a large screen across from the bed, with a keypad on the side and a yellow sticky note with the names of various important meeting rooms scribbled on. The nightstand that Epsilon did not mention had several red phones, each one with no dialing device and the name of a country's capital city on them.
The closet was, unsuprisingly, also full of stuffed animals, which tumbled out when Silvite opened the door. Among the debris of cuddly toys, there was, as Epsilon had described, a small shrine. There was also a thick binder on a shelf beside the shrine. It wasn't hard to tell that it was the schematics, the word had been written with a thick black marker on the side and the cover.

Luna chuckled again, actually finding she was - heaven forbid - enjoying herself. "If you say so, though I can't help but notice your brother is the one getting married, and you don't even have a date."
*Bunker*
"Nice place, Karen," Silvite muttered to himself as he moved to the closet - only to get buried by tons of cuddly objects. He stepped back with a chuckle as he picked up one of them, an adorable little white teddy bear. "Well, I know what to get her for her birthday ... Or maybe these are what she demands when she asks for ransom. Or just what she buys with the ransom ..."
He looked over the shrine as he pulled up the binder, opening it up to look through the pictures inside. "Ah, Epsilon, ya clunker, way to get my hopes up," he chuckled. Inside were simply lots of things she'd drawn as a child, simplistic headbands with Mental Control Ring written in a young child's scrawl underneath and similar things. The one that got him amused the most was a bunch of semi-stick figures described as the Invincible Doll Army of Karen. He couldn't help but wonder if the girl ever did that.
Having to use his powers to put everything back in with any reasonable degree of accuracy, he used his powers to close the door, as well, before moving over to the letters. He skipped the ones on Ixion - Karen's feelings for the demon were well-known - and instead focused on the letters unaddressed. While he read most of them, he also was looking for one where the name was scribbled over or erased instead of torn off, hoping to lift the name off, again with his powers if he had to.

Wayne looked away and chuckled nervously, rubbing the back of his head. Eventually he looked back at Luna. "Well, what can I say? I never met Glenn's wife. Good thing for him, too. Or else I would be the one sitting up there. Y'see, not many are able to fully apreciate my charm, you know?"
*Karen's Room*
"Silvite! I never thought of you as the type to look through Karen's stuff, you old dog you!" A familiar voice said. A man dressed in a biker style with mostly black and navy blue clothing seemed to appear out of thin air on Karen's bed. The man got up and ruffled his already wild hair. "So, you find out who he is yet?"

"Uh-huh," the alien answered, trying but failing to suppress a smirk. "Don't you think you're being just a little overconfident?"
*Karen's Room*
Silvite looked over in surprise. "... Ixion?"

Wayne gave a big toothy grin. "Of course not!"
*Karen's Room*
Ixion held out his arms and gave a devious smirk. "If you're thinking of who I think your thinking of, no. I'm the me that didn't screw up royally."

This time, Luna didn't bother trying to cover the chuckle. "Alright, if you say so, but you might want to know, most girls think arrogance is a real turn-off."
*Karen's Room*
"Then I'll take it you're not the alternate universe Ixion Heihachi's shade introduced me to," Silvite answered.

"She's right." Cassandra said, walking up to the two. "Luna, may I see you for a second?" She asked, not even paying attention to Wayne.
*Karen's Room*
"Yeah that's ri..." Ixion stopped himself. "Wait, no... that's.. uh, okay, maybe I am the Ixion you're thinking of."

Luna looked over at her in confusion, but nodded. "Yeah, sure, Cassandra. Where to?"
*Karen's Room*
(What's the letters actually say?)

Cassandra looked around as she sat at a table away from Wayne. "Right here will do." She said. "Terr... Uh, Luna. I think it would be best if you switched back now."
*Karen's Room*
(Well, I was going to have Ixion read some aloud, and they generally all say the same thing. Heck, for the most part they're all copies of eachother except worded differently.)

"Can't," the girl answered. "Glenn locked me in this. He needs to unlock it, and preferably out of sight of people so I can change back. I asked him once already, remember? And he threatened to leave me in the dress."
*Karen's Room*
Jeffery tossed some of the letters to him. "I suppose you've already read them?"

Cassandra frowned. 'He's waiting near the bathrooms. And I assure you, he will not leave you in the dress, and he will unlock you. He may be all powerful, but I've had power over him sicne we satrted dating."
*Karen's Room*
Ixion smiled, "Well, yeah! But, you'e missing the msot important letter, the one that completely gives away who this mystery guy is. Of course, only I would think about reading that one letter, though."
Ixion walked over to the drawer. He took the pile of letters adressed to him. "Now, let's see." He pulled out a letter from the very bottom. "This one! The last one addressed to me." He cleared his throat and started to read.
"Dear Ixion, (That's me.)
I'm afraid this will be the last letter I will write to you. Over the years, we have come further apart. (No shit, lady, I'm a steamed vegetable.) I don't know where you are, where you really are, and I have come to realise I don't love you anymore. I have come to love someone else, but he does not know that. He has been very close to me for a long time, and I hope that he feels the same way about me. I am very sorry, Ixion. But I hope that you will give me your blessings as I try to get..." Ixion crumpled up the letter in his hand. "This one has the name of Karen's secret crush written down, and it's not removed in any way. I guess her logic was that she wouldn't need all of those," He waved his hand at the unadressed letters, "and, well, who's going to look through the ones addressed to me other than her, right?"
Ixion took one of the unadressed letters. "Anyway, I figure it was kinda obvious after reading these a few times. It even took me a while to think of backtracking over to my letters. But now that I know the answer, you see little clues. For example, Dear... Uh, well, scratched out name. I've known you for most of my life, and you are one of the only people in the world to truly understand me. You're one of the only poeple to stick by my side no matter what, and I'm really thankful for that. Ever since we met again such a short time ago, I could tell we were fated to meet again. Even the scenery was perfect, and beautiful. You gave me a shoulder to cry on and you gave me someone to talk to. I want to be with you more and more every day. In fact, I want to be with you forever. Love, Karen." Ixion smiled. "Sound like anyone we know?" He said.

"Don't have to tell me twice," Luna answered as she hurried toward the bathrooms. "It was only a matter of time before he started pressing the date issue again."
*Karen's Room*
Silvite scratched at his chin in thought. "Epsilon?"

"Something tells me it was only a matter of time until "Luna" accepted." Cassandra muttered to her self as she followe behind.
*Karen's Room*
Ixion sighed and rolled his eyes. "You're an idiot. Sorry, but... not even I guessed that."

"I heard that," she answered. "And no, "Luna" wouldn't. Forgive me if I can draw amusement from watching someone make a fool of themselves. I'm not quite as ready as you are to give up on being a guy just yet."
*Karen's Room*
But Silvite just grinned. "Maybe that just means I have a creative thought process! Besides, if it's not him, it's me, which isn't good, 'cuz she's like a little sister to me, I'd never think of dating her."

Cassandra made no verbal answer. She just turned red. Very red. She finally gave a small huff and walked away, deciding to go outside.
*Karen's Room*
Ixion shrugged. "Well, as unfortunate as it is, It's true. "...But I hope that you will give me your blessings as I try to get closer to Jeffery."" Ixion recited as he set the letters back. "But, you probabally never have to worry about that. Knowing her, she'll probabally hide it forever, sadly."
