...Thank you Medea. Your gift is most appreciated, and rest assured, it will not go to waste. I am certain the little one will be grateful for excess warmth as these nights grow colder.

Kinomoto Sakura is missing...? Does anyone have information on her whereabouts...?

( Private to Professor Hojo//Unhackable )

...I have been out of sorts since the Halloween Ball, it seems. I apologize for the unexpected disappearance, and I am sincerely sorry if it has effected anyone negatively. For those who know me, it goes without saying that it was not my intention to hinder by any means.

It was, however, for the better. I feel very refreshed now, no longer drained. That period of sleep... did wonders.

It would seem Sakura is also here... I find this infinitely disappointing. That she is well is favorable, however, should she read this, I would like to remind her that there is more to this place than making friends. This is no playground...

Karasu, Piiko... sometime soon I would like to do something together.


( Private to Professor Hojo // Unhackable )

It seems I will be attending the ball after all. I suppose... it will be delightful to see some of the costumes. I merely hope that no one will step out of line... as I will be chaperone for the evening.

Karasu, if you or Piiko are attending... inform me. We can go together.

( Private to Endrance//Unhackable )



[ooc; Yes, kids, that means Yue/Yukito will be randomly happening through all your threads. So, you had better be good! At least until he turns back into Yukito, because then he'll forget to chaperone and he'll head right for any sweets that are near by...]

Medea, I have a request. It is not a personal one, but one, rather, that I feel needs immediate addressing.

There seems to have been quite a few selfless acts last night. Amidst the horrible explosions, there were courageous hearts to be found. Some chose to defend rather than hide, and this sort of heroism, I think, ought to be rewarded.

Some people died rescuing friends and even strangers, and others who didn't die, but still managed to rescue people, or tried to rescue them, they deserve something for these brave efforts. This sort of bravery, this honorable behavior, should not go forgotten or unappreciated...

Please. Perhaps some of these people could be moved to the upper level, or perhaps even have a wish of theirs granted?

Their moral is low thanks to this... they need to be inspired to keep being strong.


( Private to Karasu//Unhackable )

Karasu. My apologies for being scarce lately. Many things have come up, but I will make more time, this I promise.

For now... please, do nothing that I would not do.

It grows colder.

The city is expanding. I assume it is to accomodate the influx of new arrivals...


( Private to Endrance//Unhackable )


( Private to Karasu//Unhackable )

These powers are a curse and a blessing both.

It is impossible to tell who will persevere over the desire to use what has been granted them for purposes of evil. I imagine the Gods, or Medea at the very least, believe it prudent to show trust in us, however, perhaps so that we will in turn trust in them... and not fail to repent for our sins?

It is possible.

I certainly hope that, if this is some sort of test, as I have been issued many over the years by Clow Reed, I do not fail to pass it. I cannot imagine it being much different than any of Clow Reed's tests, if indeed it is one, but I must remember... these Gods are not Clow Reed. While similar in many ways, a test by them would not be the same at all.

I suppose I will, however, make use of my abilities rather than let my power go to waste. I have made a promise to not stand idly by while innocents are suffering... It is what Sakura and Clow both would wish of me... I will keep this promise.

To any who need protection in this time... know that my wings are your shield, and I will defend you as necessary from those who would unjustly seek to harm.

Simply look to the sky... you will see me patrolling.

...I need to find work for myself.

( Private to Dizzy // Unhackable )

Asclepius.
It is a name that I do not think I will forget.

What sort of fiend would force emotions upon someone... that they do not ordinarily feel? I... it is like I have been contaminated. I have been contaminated...

( Private // Easy to hack if you know Yue )

I am restless. Why is it so hard to sit still...? These gods... certainly they haven't -- that in itself would be -- it makes no sense to me at all.

If we are feelings things we normally would not... is it not a sin to cast these emotions upon us against our will? Can gods sin, however? Or, like many feared tyrants of the past, are these gods subjecting us to their rules and neglecting to follow them themselves...?

I... do not appreciate the way in which my thoughts have been wandering today. It is humiliating.


( Private to Aaron and Dizzy // Unhackable )

It seems that, while this place caters to sinners of all kinds, there are some here on board a situation that resembles my own in several ways; there are those that were convicted of small crimes, those who do not deserve to be welled up with the murderers that reside here. There are those that I find I do not mind... keeping near to, if only for a short while. It must be a short while, of course, for my stay here I certainly intend to be temporary...

There may be complications in living with others, however. Before, I lived on my own, visited only when I was required or wished for company. It is different now. There is impending danger everywhere... I cannot say that I like it, or this place, but I think... I can do whatever is in my power to keep those near to me from harm.

...In light of sinners and speaking of harm... I am reminded of one I simply cannot see eye-to-eye with here. I am not sure what to do about his presence, but I do wish to appeal to the gods about him. Only then... will I know what I will do.

( TO THE GODS // PRIVATE; THEIR EYES ONLY // UNHACKABLE )

There seems to be more people here with each day! But... I'm not certain that's a good thing, though. Actually, with how everyone seems to be talking about sins and stuff... it sounds rather bad.

Where is this place, anyways? I've come to understand what it is, but it can't just exist... nowhere, right? I wonder if I could contact Toya, or maybe even Sakura-chan... It's been a long time since I've heard from either of them, it seems so strange not to be walking to school and meeting one or the other several times throughout the day.

I miss my home, and my grandparents. I hope they're all right, but I can't imagine a vanishing grandson being something to sit well with their nerves...

What did I do wrong to deserve this? What did I do wrong...?!

I think things would be less unnerving if... if I had a place to stay. There are just so many unsettling things around in the places I've explored so far. Ah... I do not like the feeling of not being safe in a place I'm supposed to call my new home, however temporary.

I wish... someone I recognized were here...

I have taken a look around and it appears as though everyone claims that we are here for some sin or another... that the gods have put us here to repent for our misdeeds. While each sin is different, it appears that they are weighed the same as the next in the eyes of those judging us. Whatever we might have done, we are being collected and thrown together... a collective swamp of crime.

I wonder if some of us might spoil before others given our great differences... or if unity amongst us is inexorable?

I suppose it doesn't matter. But it does seem a great injustice... for some crimes seem to be so very small in comparison to others. For example, I cannot believe it fair for the murderers to be held in the same light as those who fail to believe in themselves or those who believe in themselves too much. Taking a life differs greatly from a belief, especially one rarely acted upon...

( Private//Not Hackable )

I... feel that I am growing weaker. I do not understand it, but I think it is this place that is causing my energy to deteriorate far more quickly than I am accustomed to. It affects me... in some strange way. Am I the only one who feels drained by the atmosphere here, or are there others who are experiencing, or who have experienced, similar symptoms?

Perhaps there is someone who understands this...? I do not think I am ill. I... do not get ill.

This is most disconcerting.
