My room... is a disaster.
[shuffling sounds as she's going through the mess]
And my bed. Where is my bed?! Oh...
[a pause with more shuffling sounds as more of the mess is shoved aside]
AND WHAT THE HELL TAKES BITES OUT OF MATTRES
[another thoughtful pause]
Could this be related to the other incidents on the island? I've been hearing that a couple other places were ransacked as well...
[recorded]
Ah! What happened?! The Eagle's Splendor... Was it a thief?! I didn't know that Rivelata had robbers... Oh goodness, this is going to be a mess to clean up. But who could've done this? Thiefs would knock down everything but who eats clothing and furniture?
[writing]
For those of you who work here, if you don't mind or have some free time, could you help me clean this up? I'd appreciate it.
Also, something really weird happened to me last night. I was talking to that kid that fell out of the sky... I forget his name, but we were talking about something and I had a dream about it! Isn't that weird?

Dammit, no one here has seen Colette. If she's not here, then... Dammit.
What did that one guy call this place, Riverladle? Um...no, Ravelata...?
Gaah, it doesn't matter! I just need to figure out how to get back.

From the information I have gathered so far, I am in a place called Rivelata and these journals help you.
Can anyone tell me how I got here? Where am I? Also, what is the stardate? Oh... This cannot be good at all. Also, have you seen any other Starfleet officers arrive here?

Another year gone by. 33 years...
It doesn't really feel any different.

Well, now that I've settled in, I think it might be best for me to better acquaint-- or reacquaint-- myself with Rivelata. If anyone would like to speak with me, please, let me know. I'm rather fond of tea, myself; my treat.
Oh, and on a slightly related note... Is anyone else up for a game of chess in the jungle?

Hey! HEY! ELLE! ELLE, ARE YOU HERE? HEY!!
[presumably talking to someone, loudly]
You-- have you seen a girl with blue hair? She-- she might be--
[loud footfalls]
ELLE! WHERE ARE YOU!? ELLE!!!

Well, it ain't easy to find a job around here that doesn't require lots of contact with other people. I did it though. Courier services. Never thought I'd be a mailman, but it's better than nothing even if I do have to be out in that hot sun all day.
I saw that little sweetheart out in the marketplace today. He's certainly a talkative little cherub. What's he askin' all around about?

Tsubaki... Soul... Black Star...
...What happened to the living room!?
Things are broken and knocked over, and the COUCH. There are bitemarks all over it, and chunks of it are missing.
[The Sigh that means there is a headache coming.]
This is such a mess...
[ooc; Starfire's pet, Silkie, is on the island somewhere. And hungry. It got into the Soulfag living room and pretty much ate Soul's favorite couch, and trashed the rest of the room.]

Miss Ba'ast, I was finally able to finish up your chocolate! It'll be at Junkhouse, so just let me know if you need directions or anything.
I really hope that you like mint.
Speaking of Junkhouse Ramen, I was wonder if I could get some volunteers from out there to come and be taste-testers some time this month. I've got a little something up my sleeves. Oh, but the volunteers can't be Junkhouse employees, okay?
[Looooong pause before the writing starts up again.]
Miranda-san... I'm so so sorry, but... I've gotten too many complaints and I...
I'm going to have to let you go. I'm really sorry! I'd be more than happy to be used as a future recommendation, and I'll still pay you for the rest of the week.
-Karin
[Added a bit later.]
I probably shouldn't have done that over the journals...

...hn. So this is neither the after-life nor some vile sorceror's trickery.
With no way off this island, I suppose I will have to make the most out of being here. Shikata ga nai.* Lodging is the obvious first step. Some means of livelihood will be next, preferably before these funds run dry.
And it seems I will have to hold onto Akujiki for awhile longer. It'd be foolish to assume the absence of danger here.
Strange how that cursed blade has been silent since my arrival. One can only hope it's for the best.
*"It cannot be helped."

A rather ... large batch of Chocolate Frogs may have ... scurried away. Slightly. ...Possibly.
Very, very definitely.
Do let me know if you spot any. They're hard to miss, being all ... chocolatey and delicious.
[ooc: Yes, there are Chocolate Frogs hopping about Rivelata and getting into all sorts of things. A lot of them. Enjoy.]

[Small shuffling sounds as the journal is being stretched about.]
Hideki? Chii can't find you. Did the book take Hideki?
Yoite, Giselle, Stevie. Cassandra didn't come home last night. I'm going to go check with Jimmy and Parker. Don't go anywhere if you don't have to.
[Magda hums softly in the background. After a little while she starts to sing softly.]
Sometimes I think my heart will burst
Like a balloon inside my chest
With all the love that's waiting here,
Unexpressed.
Fingers that ache to intertwine;
Warmest of chords but missing tune.
Where is the laugh to echo mine?
Send it soon.
The words my lips would form,
The circle these two arms would make
Safe and warm.
Someone could be safe and warm
But maybe the love we yearn to give
Can find a release some other way
Colouring how we choose to live
Every day.
The kindness we can share...
The kindness we can share.
The comfort these two arms might lend
In despair.
Someone's always in despair.
Still, I'm longing to meet that pair of eyes,
Dark as the night or endless blue,
Holding a light I'll recognise
Something clear, something true.
Something that seems to mean
Something I haven't seen
Since you.
[ooc: The song is Unexpressed by John Bucchino. If you would like to hear what it sounds like, you can download it here at my mediafire account, since I couldn't find a version I liked on YouTube. It is sung by Patti LuPone on her CD Matters of the Heart.]

[recorded, kind of loudly]
Please, magical book that speaks the human words, can you tell me where I am, why am I here, who has brought me here, why can I not fly or use my starbolts and possibly where my friends have gone? I would be most grateful for your assistance!
[with no answer for two seconds, she starts shaking the book and then, unknowingly, as she wanders around, a few more of her questions are accidentally picked up]
Robin? Cyborg? Beast Boy? Raven?
[there's a small pause and a sigh]
Oh friends, I do wish you are all alright...

If I find out you've gone off adventuring without me Zidane I am going to be more than just a little cross at you.
Really now.

Miss Jilly?
It's occurred to me that - now that Kaoru has returned and things have calmed down a bit - now might be a good time for me to take on a new student. And for you, having Kaoru around will be helpful, I think - training with someone closer to your own levels.
How does that sound?

[The sound of pages flipping, and a bit of a stifled yawn. The words are muttered;]
Weird, I woke up with a pao--
A box? ... These clothes, are they...?
[There's some faint rustling of fabric being unfolded, then a soft laugh before it switches over to writing.]
I just woke up, and already this birthday's been great.
[ooc; Now excuse her while she goes to tackle the shit out of Uryuu or something for the presents.]

[ The unmistakable sounds of exasperated breathing, ripping of paper, and hair being pulled-- even though the last doesn't have a distinct sound-- can be heard through the journal system. Following the myriad of sounds is an unamused groan, dramatic and as if suffering ]
My poor coat... It was one of a kind, too. [ He doesn't have a clue it's recording, so he's going to keep muttering and whining, poking at his coat and everything ]

Well, that was fun while it lasted, but I suppose we'll have to look for another way to entertain ourselves now. Who else is looking for something interesting to do?

[It's not all that often that Seven does this, but sometimes while working on something, she'll start to sing. This is one of those times. It's faint at first, growing slightly louder as she keeps singing. She doesn't really know the meaning behind the song, and her voice, while strong, is somewhat lacking in emotion.]
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.

Seeing the Tower of Salvation just on the horizon... even having Colette around. That was enough back then. They always reminded me of what I had to do-- my goals.
Now...
I don't know what to do.
Now...
I don't know what to do.
Well, I'm glad that's over with. Is there anyone still injured?
Classes are resuming. If there's anyone who would like to join, please don't hesitate to sign up. These are classes on healing and academics, and anyone, young or old, can learn. They are everyday near the Clinic, starting at two in the afternoon. If you are unable to tell the time, then please just come sometime after noon. These classes will give you the knowledge needed to help someone in pain and sickness, and with practice, bring back those from near death.
Sheena, Zelos. These classes are mandatory.
I'd appreciate it if you could help as well, Kratos, Presea.

[This is while Ed is training Karin. He's kind of mindlessly reading the journal in the process while he's got her practicing, okay. There are many various sounds from Karin in the background. Nothing special. Just... noises.]
Uh -- almost.. You're forgetting what I just said.
["R-right... Like.. this?" And then there are more sounds before the page crinkles a little.]
Not.. really. More like this --
[Silence. A loud thump accompanied by Karin's shriek.]
Ah, Crap. Sorr--
[Yeah. Insert that not-so-manly SHRIEK that sounds like he's actually in serious damn danger. Karin is yelling in the background, too.]
WHAT THE -- OH MY GOD, QUIT THA--
[There is a loud crash of a fence collapsing and then silence when Ed let's go of the journal.]
[ooc; Uh. Ed kind of. Tripped Karin; now Anju's bats are mauling him. He'sbroken through tripped over Karin's fence and fell down a hill. Let's pretend this is middle of the afternoon. \o/ All replies will be... well, after his training with Karin, I guess. xDD]

I know what this is - the Madam has one. I wonder if she -
Oh. Hm.
[changes to a graceful - if somewhat hesitant - script]
Well, as the Madam has previously informed me these journals record only the voice or writing of their owners, it would appear that this belongs to me.
My name is Chataya. It is a pleasure to meet all of you.

What do you do when one makes you... feel things? Deep in your chest?
Maybe it's just my medication. This is stupid.

I wonder if you might do me the favor of coming by the house again. My brother would like to meet you, in regards to that job we talked about.

Hey, Aisling. You there, little guy? It's Stevie, remember. Haven't seen you around.
Geez, it's hot. What I wouldn't give for a popsicle stand. Or a freeze ray.

Does anyone still need help rebuilding anything?
Or... any odd jobs requiring physical labour? There's only so much I can do in a teahouse.
[nothing else is written or recorded for a minute or so, but then little holes and rips start appearing on the page -- and eventually, Cloud's voice cuts in]
Nimbus stop it, I've told you a thousand times you can't eat that --

So it's decided. I'm going to get a job.
Is there anyone hiring?
I'm a hard worker, intellegent, and quite pleasant to get along with... I think.
I also have experience with serving, cooking, and cleaning... so I guess a job in any one of those fields would be good too.
Jeez-Louise, are there any machina in this city at all?
I've been looking everywhere!
I've been looking everywhere!
So many new faces.
Und it's been such an exciting time recently, it vas quite the release! Ve simply must do that more often! Pity they started fading off towards the end, but at least some of the bodies remained, ja?

So, this is one of those journals that the Arrivals are always carrying around? Time for introductions and all that, I suppose. My name is Magda Harris. You can find me at Bardo’s most nights. I guess I’ll be seeing all of you around, hmm?
My, you all talk a lot. This kind of explains all the noise that happens. No matter...
I'm quite excited that I found one of these things. I've always been curious as to what you guys are always doing. You guys have changed this place from when I was a child. I'd say, from even the past. I might as well introduce myself. My name is Alia. I would say it's a pleasure to meet all of you but I have not met anyone yet. Would anyone care to introduce themselves to me?

Hey, Donut-chan!
Today's scan was clean~ Wanna head to the beach? We can finally work on those tans, huh?
Anyone else is welcome to join up with us, we'll probably be there for a while!♥
Man, Topsicles would totally top this thing off. Get it? Top?
