It's here again.

Fourteen doesn't feel any different from twelve, either.


[ooc: backdated, because I fail.]

[The terminal comes on with a thud, as if struck by something fairly large. Only one word is shouted before there is nothing but silence, or faint breathing if you listen hard enough. After awhile, the terminal times out.]

SEIMEI!

[ooc: Ritsuka was trying to make a voice a post to say that some of the flowers were missing. Until he noticed that he had no reflection, and he's just now starting to hear the voices. So- basically, most of this post is accidental. The panic in his tone increases with each line. Size of text = volume and proximity.]

The flowers... Soma, the flowers-

[There's a startled shout here, when he speaks again his tone is laced with disbelief and shock.]




There's no reflection... There's no...

Everyone's leaving the Devil's Nest again.

Everything's back to normal .... Why don't things always go back to normal like this?


The forest...

Soma, I want to check the flower shop. Are the flowers back, too?

I found a camera.


I want to make memories, so I don't forget this place when I go home. Everyone always forgets when they leave, and I don't want to.

[ooc: I KNOW I'M EPIC LEVELS OF FAIL WITH REPLYING TO RITSUKA'S COMMENTS. SORRY GUYS, I DON'T GET IT EITHER. Okay, so - assuming Ritsuka went to meet Soma after she commented him, found her somehow, and gave her the flowers Marina was trying to grow on the lower level. He's probably been snooping around the flower shop on occasion up until this point, so now he'll be spending more time there. Especially over the next week or so, because he can now make them grow with the power of his voice alone. Which he'll realize this evening. Okay.]

Soma, I want to work at the flower shop.

I'm still going to help at the Devil's Nest, though.

They're not getting any better.



.... Who owns the flower shop?

I hate this place.


I want to go home.

I'm tired of not being able to do anything.

How long is this going to last, anyway? People are going to start going back to normal, right? Everyone said these things are temporary, here.


... I don't like it.

What if Kio's there, too?

He could have been taken before everyone else, and can't reach the network. What about people that can't tell us that they're there? Are they going to be freed, too?


How do we know who's there, and who just went home?




Maybe the notes were a trap...


Aaron, we can look for him, right?



[ooc: Also backdated.]

Why does everyone care that there's snow, now that it's melting?

I wonder when the school's opening. A lot of people seem to want to go. Do that many people really miss going to school, here?

Yoite's been gone for awhile, he just disappeared like Ino did, and Aaron's friend MakubeX... but sometimes people come back here. I wonder if they remember us. If he remembered that he lived with us, and was friends with Kio.

If we move to the Upper Level, would we move back down if he came back?



I'm going to Aaron's.

Apparently, there's going to be a school now. Somewhere to learn, not like the one already here.

Yuiko, we should go see what it's like.

Everyone's putting gifts and things in those boxes by the temple. How do we know it's not some new trap the gods here have set up?

I don't like it.

[ooc: Anyone that Ritsuka lives with/is close to will be getting a small package from him, at home, since he doesn't trust these Valentine's boxes. I haven't been forgetting to post for Ritsuka so much as- intentionally refraining. I'm going to be resetting him soon, so I don't want to do too much with him before that.]

Something happened to Kio while I was in that stupid maze.

The gods here keep messing with us, wasn't it bad enough without food? What's going to happen to the marked people? I don't want anything to happen to him...


( Private//difficult to hack )


Ino left, didn't she?
I haven't seen her for awhile, it's really quiet without her here.

I hope I don't forget her. I don't want to forget anyone that I met ever again.

Aaron?
You're still here, right?


What am I supposed to do with this key?

Everyone's busy all the time, now.

It's hard to find any food...
Kio spends more time with Yoite and Aaron hasn't been around in a few days.

I don't want to be alone. I hate being alone!



I'm hungry. I'm not here for gluttony, I don't get why all of us have to suffer like this too.

I hate it here.
I want to go home.


I want my friends.

Why does everyone have words on them? This isn't like back home, more than two people have the same one, and some people have more than one.

I don't like this, am I supposed to have one too?


Everyone said I should have my name on me, and I don't have that...



It's not normal to have words on your skin. This is stupid.
I don't want blood on my hands or anything like that, either.


If he was here... He wouldn't be here-
He's Beloved, and I'm ... Loveless. I wonder what he'd be if he was here, too... Would we.. be the same?



I wish Soubi was here.


[ooc: Strikes private, although relatively hackable. Ritsuka's sin is Envy, but he wouldn't notice it without actually looking even if it was on him, considering the hair.]

Everything's back to normal.

I don't know how much longer I could have dealt with that...
Everyone is okay again, right?


What happens now?





[ooc: I apologize miserably for the neglect of tags on my end. Sometimes my mail is screwy, and I don't get notifications, so I'll just say Ritsuka went to Aaron's so he didn't reply to Aaron's comment, and since he was already there, he missed Ino's? God, I'm sorry. what the hell, I usually check the journals to make sure I didn't miss anything.]

Aaron, Kio and I are going to come over this afternoon.
I told him you could get us some candy.


[Screened from Kio:]

I know it's supposed to be really expensive here, I'll pay you back when I get the money, if we can get some.
He thinks Halloween was yesterday...
