Hope everyone had a great Christmas! Thank you so much for the gift Tony; it was real sweet of you. I love the little fish; you musta put tons of work into this! They're not-swimmin happily in my bunk on the ship. Makes the place feel even more homey.

And-- Lady, you doin' alright? I'm worried about ya when I read you got hurt on Christmas. I still gotta give you your gift!

I know there are a bunch of big tough guys out there.

Which one of you would mind letting me spar with you?

You know. I throw a few punches, you throw a few punches. I've been falling behind on my training and the universe knows that is just asking for trouble. I could just pay a soldier or some servant to be a sparring partner but what fun would that be? They'd be all stiff and polite because I'm noble born. And I could try to get Mai or Azula to spar with me but I want something more...well, unexpected.

Oh and one more thing. I only want to fight hand to hand, nothing else. No magic, no weapons. Nada. That's okay, right?

An inquiry, if you all would please assist me. A ... very good friend of mine is having a grand ball in honor of a state event, and I would like to purchase something for her them. If not, there are two others that I find myself without an idea of what to purchase them. The other two are not as regal as the first, though one of them is very dear to me.

The other three, I have already have gifts in mind (one or two being quite amusing in my opinion). Any assistance in the matter would be much appreciated.

Did everyone have a good holiday~? I had a wonderful holiday myself but, aside from that. What do you wish to do for the New Year, duckies?

Any resolutions for this upcoming year? It's approaching fast so if you want to start wishing for things, I'd try to start now~ Otherwise you might never be motivated, am I right? It's a brand new year, I hope all of you try something new for experience.

Fuck it, I'm bored.

Anyone here need a bounty hunter? Or something?

Amuse me, you geeks. I'm bored.

Want to see Xanxus so I can watch Reading Rainbow!

Someone take Shiro, please?

M'I the only one that got a piece of coal for Christmas? Really, what have I done that's all that bad recently? I've been better! Not good, but getting there!

Honestly! Santa's worse than a crazy stalker-type bloke; he's a judgmental bastard, that's what he is!

... I would like to apologize for my behavior before. I was... I wasn't myself. Regardless of what I said then.

As... as I'm sure you all now know of... what I've been running away from, yes, I did... seriously injure someone. Someone very close to me... I'm only grateful that he had a wonderful angel keeping watch over him. He's in the hospital, but... he should be alright.

I'm very, very sorry for the scare, and even more sorry for what I did and said when I was... like that. I never... wanted to hurt or frighten anyone.

[Locked to Mewtwo and the Doctor]

... thank you again. Thank you so much for... for stopping me before I did something... that couldn't be fixed.





((Mewtwo and Ten came and reversed her to how she should be and chased Klaus back off, likely destroying his flesh and blood body. He won't be coming back anytime soon. (Yes, we're still going to RL this out, if yall want to! I'd love to!) I'm going ahead and letting Shia come back now. She's badly shaken, but her demonic side has effectively been silenced, at least for now. Physically, she's fine, if not a bit weak, but that's nothing unusual. Klaus really did mean it when he said she would be unharmed.))

My. I have just returned from seeing an absolutely marvelous 'movie'. It was called "The Day the Earth Stood Still". I watched both versions at once.

Tell me, community, do most human stories show such remarkable understanding of the perils they face? I am afraid this 'show' was the first I have yet seen that even comes close to reality. I had not thought humans so capable of foresight. But mayhap humanity is not an completely failed species, if they can write and speak with such fiery warnings.

Please, what other stories tell of humanities potential demise as a result of their own faults? Do they triumph over their natures?
