[Hungry James + Golden Apple = Older James. This one is sitting in robes too small for him, in his dorm, wondering what happened. It's quickly figured out by the open book to the community.]

I suppose. It could be worse.

 I am intimidating?  

This is a duck-billed platypus, correct?



Or just the community's idea of a joke because..... of the ducks?

It seems strange to me that there is so much emotion that runs within these winter months. Anger, hatred, denial...all negative emotions humanity seems to hold dear, as if a burning spirit will heat them during the frigid weather. Perhaps it is lucky that the recent parties have not devolved into Carnival-esque revels; I am not sure if your fragile bodies could handle it.

So as we go into a season of new beginnings and life, I ask you a question, community. If you could erase any emotion - negative or positive - what would it be, and why?

So Hector has succeeded. Good, t'would have been a sad day for me to have to raise my weapon against someone I had so quickly considered an ally.

Though I suppose that means that I do not have much to do for the time being. Curiosity has gotten the better of me, community - what would you do if you were, so to speak, temporarily prevented from pursuing your usual line of work due to unforeseen circumstances such as injury?

What makes a person who can think and feel 'bad'?

Rare is it that I would so boldly speak for my brother, whom you all met. Though, as he is now King, I fear that he will not be able to make friends as easily as he should. I might have teased him whilst I was an Aesir about his silver tongue, but it is quite true. My brother, Loki, should have the comrades that I have here.

You will do your best to welcome him, I have no doubt that you will find that is a worthy friend.

Ooo Lots of new people on the community!

Bah Weep Granah Weep Ninni Bong!!!!

Hai! I'm Ravage!!!

I can't believe it. I really can't believe it!

It's been a whole year since left my tower. In a few days I'll be nineteen...and for the first time in my life I'll have a real birthday party. I told everything they don't have to do anything big...but I can tell my parents are up to something. I keep catching them whispering about something!

But still...I really can't believe I am where I am now. A year ago if someone had told me I was a princess, that I'd have a mother and father who loved me, and that I'd fall in love with a thief, I would have thought they were crazy. But that's really all true and I'm so, so glad to be able to share everything with you. I'm so grateful for my friends here. Your support has really meant so much to me, every step of the way.

Thank you everyone.

Ah- I haven't really been on here much, have I?


So, everyone, what kinds of music do you like?

[Ah, the calligraphy is back]

It is not my place to question my lord and master's will. I am certain that when he took the captives' powers for his sword and had me deliver it to the worthless General Dala it was part of a plan I am not to be made privy to.

Of course, had I had been the one to wield that sword, despite it being nearly as long as I am tall, the remaining Troopers would no longer be a nuisance to us. Still, it did rid us of that moronic general in a way that did not raise his suspicions, so the continued existence of the two is an acceptable side effect.

The spirit wizard Badamon has been summoned, so I hear. Perhaps he will have a workable plan to accomplish our goals.
