History
Laurenette Scott I met "Madame Director" 30 years ago when we were both Junior Archivists. We might have even been friends then, but that was a long time ago. I'm pretty sure DuCarr doesn't know how to work a computer so I feel comfortable being candid here. They are, frankly, not qualified for the Director position. I don't even think they went to college, and I'm not sure how they got the position to begin with. I know the last director, my personal friend Isabelle Lindon, didn't appoint them. After she disappeared, DuCarr just got the job. Not that I'm suggesting that the two events are connected, but it is suspicious. In fact, DuCarr is suspicious in general. She's also extremely officious. She acts like she's better than the rest of us, watching us from her office like we're ants, all the while pretending that the Archive is "one big family." And she never eats the cookies I bring to office parties. The Director Ah yes Laurenette, an old friend of mine. They are an excellent archivist and have consistently produced top-quality work. They have a long and fruitful career ahead of them. Although we used to be old friends, I am aware there is some... friction between us now due to my appointment to directorship. However, I strive to remain cordial and I hope to regain that old relationship we had. Frankly, I appreciate their candidness, it really keeps me grounded and aware of my actions. Even though there is some tension, I still consider both of us part of the Archival family, and who ever heard of a family without at least a little conflict? I just hope their jealousy does not prevent our eventual reconciliation or cause their work to decline. And I would eat their cookies, but I've been on a diet and don't want to cheat too much.
History
Seren Liu I was absolutely the one who coined the nickname "angry chihuahua person" for Laurenette and I sincerely hope they never find that out because I would like to live past forty. They need to loosen up and get that stick out of their ass, but at this point I think surgery might be their only option. I don't really dislike them, they just get on my nerves with their constant nagging and their pretentious idealism. I mean, Goddess, we're archivists, not fuckin' angels here to bless the common man with dusty old tomes and boring statistics about long-dead civilizations. EDITED: Uh...Sorry about that, I really didn't think anyone actually read this. Um, I may have been too harsh, and I apologize. I guess my first impression of you colored my perception. Thanks for the coffee? And the compliment? It seems like you might be alright after all. Laurenette Scott The Liu's are a prestigious family, and, nepotism aside, they have always done good work. And that does include Seren, who is as charming as he is flippant. I believe I told him I would be reading everything written on this site, but he clearly didn't believe me. I knew it! I knew he was the one who kept breaking the coffee machines! You know, Seren, if you'd quit hiding from me, I would bring you coffee. I know I'm not exactly personable, but I do try to be kind. I'll also remind you that the month you won employee of the month was also the month you somehow miraculously convinced Emperor Liosone to continue his planet's relationship with our archive despite my... let's call it uncouth behavior towards him. That is to say, you deserved it. Just don't go telling people that. Also, watch yourself! Half of your article reads like an HR violation.
History
Laurenette Scott Johannes Bruge is a man after my own heart: ruthlessly efficient, smart as a whip, and vaguely spooky to look at; I can relate. Too bad he's such a massive twat. He's rude to the other archivists, who are more skittish around him then they are around me! He refuses to entertain any of my theories about the archive's possible sentience because, apparently, whether or not it is sentient is irrelevant. He asked me once why I cared so much about things I have no control over, and I didn't really know what to tell him... Most of the time he's overly curt, but when he really gets going on something (though he immediately becomes impossible to understand what with all the jargon), it is something to behold. He's older than I'll ever be, which means that, being a bit of an archive himself, he's an invaluable member of the archive staff. I bring him coffee a lot. It does seem like he could use some friends, not that I think he'd want me as one of them. Regardless, I cannot ever seem to get any real information out of him... Johannes Bruge Nett's not bad. Curious, that one. Sometimes curious about things I'd say are best left unquestioned, but they're young, that's their right. Make decent coffee. And they listen to the answer when they ask me a question; more than I can say for most of the staff.

Tony Ambrose I'm pretty sure they think I'm a moron. Which is fair: they are very smart, and my job here is more meat bag than librarian. However, their desire to be here at the Archive and their ambition to make it better are legitimately heartwarming to see. Sometimes, though, their consistent prying for more information, whether it be in reports or in simple conversation, can get a bit . . . much. Some things are better left unsaid and unseen. Laurenette Scott Tony Ambrose is no moron. It's true he's no good for history, which is a shame given that, as far as I can tell, he predates the archive--but I'm not entirely heartless. Alexandra may be more preoccupied with figuring out why he is the way he is than with determining how he feels about it, but I've tried to be there for him. He's insistent that the constant death in his day job has no lasting effect on his mental capacities or emotional wellbeing, but I know he feels pain. He drops the occasional joke about it and then gets mad at me when I press him to talk about his feelings. I suppose I can't blame him. It's possible I'm overly hard on him. I've never been very good at being soft. At any rate, Tony remains one of my long-standing arguments with the Director. I don't know how they can justify sending a man out to be killed repeatedly for hundreds of years. Now, they've added him to the digitization project, though I can't exactly understand why. I do hope this will give him the opportunity to prove that his talents extend beyond not-dying. He's rather insightful when you give him a chance. Maybe this will change Alexandra's mind? The previous director refused to talk about it at all. No one talks about anything in this archive. Too many secrets...
