[private to Riku]
Riku~! ♥ I missed you lots and lots. It's wonderful you came back, but why ddi you leave in the first place?

Wait. I was probably overbearing. I was always trying to...I don't know. I'm sorry. It's just that...I was so afraid, and...

let's just meet up someplace and talk.
[/private]

And meanwhile, I've started buying stuff for people~! ♥ I haven't made my own wishlist yet, 'cause I've been so preoccupied, but friends come first, so yep~! I know it's early, but I figured I'd start while things were on sale.

And especially since Sora's gonna be home a little bit more often. Hopefully.

Larx is back! ♥ And she won't let me get me her a new computer. Eventually her computer's just gonna die out, but until then, I guess she'll just be super stubborn. She doesn't know it yet (but I guess she will after this), but I've been saving enough money to get her a really good laptop. I want to get her one for Christmas. I hope she doesn't mind, though! I'm trying to make sure it's yellow. I think that's her favorite color...

But anyway! So, I've decided to be Ariel! I've already made the little blue dress, and everything's totally fine. ♥ It's a shame Sora can't come, but it's okay. I'll come and visit him! And then we'll be all good. I wish I could dress up Riku and drag him with me, but...yeah. Tam Tam will do. WATCH OUT, EVERYONE. IT'S ROBIN AND ARIEL. HE COULD BE PRINCE ERIC IF THERE WEREN'T TIGHTS.

Um, yep. ♥

[not viewable pro-ban]:

I've actually thought about learning how to play the drums. Would anyone be generous enough to teach me? I'm not bad at listening, I promise! :DD I love you long time. And smoothies for free. Smoothies and mochas. Isn't that a great deal?

[/not viewable pro-ban]:

Work's getting kind of boring now. I think the boss knows I feel that way now, though, so he's giving everyone extra shifts. Larx too, I hear. There's not a lot of us there, so there's no reason why he should treat us like slaves~! Oh well. I guess that's just how Italian people are. Or something.

So like, I ran into this guy at the college, and I have deemed him Tam Tam~! He's a nice guy, and he plays football! How epic. He'll be getting out to parties somehow. I'll make sure of it.

I hope everyone's doing okay. And Xig, you still owe me those pictures. Where are they~? D:

ooc;; no strike-out for takami.

I could survive for 1 minute, 13 seconds chained to a bunk bed with a velociraptor

that was a bit odd.

Pirate man, if I wear one more outfit, I think I'll go insane. D: You're kinda nuts. And have wacky fashion sense. Let's like, go out shopping somewhere. You get out of those dingy jeans and leather jackets, and in exchange I'll...eventually go insane by wearing another outfit, but I'm afraid of what other things float through your mind, and I really would not like to watch Days of Our Lives or whatever it is you watch with you. You watch the cheesiest soap operas ever.

I got extra at the café this week~! ♥ I wanna go out and party celebrate, but I don't know who to drag with me. I'm lonely, gaize. I'm considering to take up an extra job, just for something to do. Maybe I'll be a dental assistant or something. I dunno. But I need to get off my butt and do something other than just sitting around. Maybe I'll bug Viv. Get him a new costume. He must be tired of a giant cup, right? Maybe we can make him into a slice of pie or something. I dunno. I think I'll drag him to a couple of stores, make the best of it.

Olympics look mondo fun~! I kinda wish I had stuck with gymnastics, haha. I always loved the balance beam. But you couldn't drag me into a ballet studio nowadays. Maybe I should try swimming...I dunno. I was always a good swimmer, but I've been out of practice for a bit. Who knows. Maybe I should find a local pool and just hang out~?

Wellps, phone's ringing. I must retreat~ ♥

Hari's gone mad. She's even got Kadaj wearing a costume, too. I think his is cuter than mine. No fair~! I hope that she doesn't try to chop his head off. He's only a boy. A really pretty boy, but still a boy. His hair is so shiny. I must learn what shampoo he uses! He's so malleable; I hope she doesn't take advantage of that. So, work your hardest~! Before your head rolls off.

And Hana...? Are you doing okay? There's some more weird stuff going around town, and well...I don't want you to turn into a hermit crab. Just give a call if you need me, 'kay?

I actually met some more people~! ♥ And, I didn't have to leave my own house. Except for once person. Which was...interesting, to say the least. I'm glad I have more friends~! Now I have more stuff to do after work. Lots and lots of stuff~ And yes, I like nicknames! Don't question them or I'll get you~~~~~ >D

Pirate man, next time we go out, I'm choosing the place. 'Cause your place sucked, tbh. And you need people skills. You are like the weirdest person to talk to in the history of like, ever. It's kind of sad. Perhaps if you try something different, you'll be happier, and less of a hobo? ♥

Heyy, secret agent man. Could you stop being a sicko, 'cause really. I'll drag you by your ear to the psychiatrist. And if you ever get the guts to take pictures of your own...ew, can't say it, well...I'll think that you're one cool sicko. I mean, like, that takes stuff. I'd be proud to call you my tormentor, government man.

Hana's a cutie~ ♥ I'll totally go and see you when you're a doctor. I know you'll study hard!

I can't believe Hari's actually going to make me wear that. But...I'll do it for SOS Dan and the sake of shopping! We must stop the war~!

Oh wow, there's a curfew now? That's lovely. I suppose I'll have to be a homebody again. Or walk to someone's house before dusk.

...Government's getting more and more outrageous, isn't it? I'm glad I didn't take politics. I would have hated myself.

[private - nvpb]
I guess I'll have to throw little house parties, then~ ♥ There's always a way to get around.
[/private]

I took an unexpected break. So sue me. My mother called saying that grandma died, so I had to go immediately. She already bought plane tickets; how could I say no? So she kidnapped me about a week or so. I was forced to go shopping with my mother in public. That's terrible. I bought all these black clothes so that I'd look appropriate. I was accused of looking goth, but I don't care. It was a funeral, I'm supossed to wear black so I can mourn! Gawd. I guess they wanted me to wear blue, like the little kids. I wish they'd realize that I woke up, smelled the coffee, and left. And now that Grandma's gone, no reason on coming back. Like, ever.

And well, here's the dress I bought from Hot Topic. I like it.

( Isn't it pretty? )

But, well, I guess something positive came out of it. I had a little fun. My mom took me to some photography place, saying that she wanted me to experience 'how life would be like if I was a model'. I think they look pretty good, actually~! But, of course, maybe you guys would like them, maybe you won't. Here they are anyway~!

( 'Cause I'm Destiny Island's Next Top Model~ )

But anyway. Riku, you dorkwad! Bears? You had to be attacked by bears, of all things? I swear, I'd beat you if you weren't injured. Ugh! I knew I'd have to worry about you! But I'm glad you're home. Really. Sora's being a workaholic, so I never see him, but now you'll have to stay in bed and rest. And we can talk about whatever it was you wanted to talk about.

I hope everyone else is doing fine~

Oh god. Larxene came back, hormonal as ever. But I'm glad. It's nice to see her again. Even if she does act like a total bitch. You know Marly's not gonna let you borrow his computer forever, Larxy. And you shouldn't buy a crappy one. They're just shit-tacular. I know where to find a good deal, though ♥ Only if you're interested, though.

I think that Vivi kid was afraid to be a mascot. He kind of ran off. I haven't seen him a while. Maybe I should track him down and see if he's alright. I mean, he's kind of...special. There's a lot of stuff goin' through his mind, and he's pretty estranged from his family. All he's ever known is his grandpa, who disappeared somewhere. Hm.

And ooh, I wish Riku'd just come back already~ He's been gone since forever. I'm thinking about just calling him and telling him to come back. grr.

[ooc: strike-through not viewable]

So, the other day, I ran into this kid named Vivi, and he's kinda cute. In a child sort of way. He was looking for a job, 'cause I guess he doesn't appreciate living next to a bar or whatever, and so I offered him one over at the café! I think he'll fit right in, actually. He can help me round up the younger crowd of teens! Convince them to come to our little place for lunch. We sure do need the business. Heyy, I wonder if he'd mind being our mascot! Hmm...

[private to Riku]
This is probably kind of silly to ask, but... would there be any way to put makeup on you again? I had soo much fun with you! I'd hate to, you know, put it on you in your sleep and have Sora wake up and see you looking like Cid the Clown first thing in the morning. Haha. You as a clown...really funny.
[/private]

Oh no. My nail's snagging. That's not good. -runs off-

Just for fun~!:

Dear Sora,

I don't really know how to tell you this, but I'll join the monastery. I think I realized it when your dwarf bit me outside of Chicago, and I saw you drive out my father. I'm sure you're high enough to understand that your Honda sucks. I'm returning the couch cushions to you, but I'll keep your left ear as a memory. You should also know that I get sick when I think of a passionate interest for mice.

In pain, Kairi~

( How it works~ )

[private to Sora]

In other news, Sora. I wanna talk to you about Riku. I know you're worried as much as I am, possibly more, but I feel like I really need to talk to you. I'm scared, Sor. I am.

[/private]

I need to get out some more, don't I? I'll try to. Promise.

And um, guys. Work is BORING. I thought being a waitress was going to be fun. Gaise, come out and visit me and make the day lively, 'kay? I'd really appreciate that.

I ran into Riku at the aquarium. I'm really excited. I mean, Riku! I remember when Sora said that he found him, but... I never did. And I was kind of down about that. But now I have! And he has some really weird friends.

Riku...you've seemed to change.

So, I finally have a job. That's special. Thanks, Larx. I can't to start it. But... you'll probably find some type of joy in being my boss, right? I know it.

Oh, and your blouse is sparkling clean, too. I can either drop it off at your house, or you can come to mine. Whatever works.

Valentine's Day came and went. It's not like I did anything significant, though. I just... hung around and didn't do anything. A bunch of people gave me flowers and chocolate. I could start a small garden with all the flowers I got~ I'm going to give away all the boxes of chocolate, except for maybe two. I'm going to give one to Sora, and then... maybe I'll eat the other one. I'm kind of craving chocolate. And strawberries. Mmm chocolate strawberries.

Um. What's the next special holiday? St. Patrick's? I'll wear green and be a leprichaun or something. Whoo.

That's such a shame about Vergil. I heard about it through various sources. And before I got here, there was already someone else there. So, does that mean that everyone's going to go to the hospital eventually? I'm kind of scared. I don't want to be in the hospital, too! I mean... c'mon. I hate hospitals. And I really hate needles. Really hate them. Did I mention I hate them? Because I do!

And um. I seriously need a job. I'm going to have to start paying rent soon. I saved up a lot of money before I moved here, and Dad still mails me checks and stuff. But I want shopping money, too! Maybe there's an opening at Larx's job. She doesn't seem to be too happy at her job. And, it looks like she's the only one there. Hmm. I think I could make a good waitress! I'm a nice person. Ughh and I am not a goody-goody, Larxene! And, if I have good service, I could have lots and lots of tips. Which equals mucho dinero! I like the sound of that~

I can't believe Sora's letting me stay with him! This is great. And then Riku's back... Riku. I would have never thought of him as a librarian! That's special. But, it's a nice change. Maybe I should go visit him sometimes there! It'd be a nice change of pace. I've been partying like crazy. I'm sure Sora will disapprove of that. I told him I won't run in the house at random times.

I'm hoping I can run into more people that I know, and that I'll make more friends. It seems nice enough...
