[A girl is standing in the middle of a grass field, looking away from whatever seems to be taking a video of this. Her eyes are closed, her hands folded across her chest as she sings a melody that seems to echo across the entire field she's standing in. After a good minute or so of singing, she stops for a moment, feeling something strange about her whole situation. After a moment of looking around or so, she looks at the source of whatever seems to be filming her at the moment.

...she stares peculiarly at the book she had put down a while ago, staring at what seems to be...is that a duck? A confused look strikes across her face as she begins to poke at it, before noticing...]

...huh? What is this? And why is it in my book of all things? I don't remember reading about a creature like this before...

[She seems highly confused for a moment, opening and closing the book, still wondering what it's doing in the first place...]

((ooc; ignore the background music and pretend it's only Malon singing oops))

Hey, what's the place you want to go to the most?

Me, I want to go to the Grand Line. It's the most exciting and dangerous ocean, full of places with treasure and powerful people.

[Ren's back, and this time he looks, well, somewhat apologetic.]

I found Kaitou's post when I got back, so it looks like I worried somebody here. [Is he going to talk about what exactly he did that got Kaitou and other people in his world so worried? Nope!]

So, I know I've been acting...off, lately. If you saw that last video, well, you know most of why. I've said before that I'm in the middle of something called the Rider War, a battle among thirteen Kamen Riders in my world. We have to fight each other to the death in order to win the power to grant a single wish.

Someone back home went and told my secret to another Rider I know, so I really don't have anything more to lose if I say it here. About half a year ago, my fiancee, Eri, was in an experiment run by the man who set up the Rider War, Shiro Kanzaki. When I lost my memories earlier this year, this is what I forgot, so some of the details are still a little hard to remember, but I must have interrupted the experiment. A Monster attacked, and somehow during the attack, Eri fell into a coma. Kanzaki gave me a choice--to let her die, or to fight as a Rider, win, and use my wish to save her. I chose to fight.

[He pauses for a bit--this is probably the most he's ever said on here. But he's still got to address his stupidity over the past few weeks.]

The battle that got posted last time was against another Rider, who was pretty much just out to antagonize everyone. When I couldn't kill him, he made it harder for me, kidnapped one of my friends, and just pressured me to fight or die. Just for his own amusement. We managed to save my friend, and she's okay now, but... Well, after that battle, I've been trying to see if I can become the kind of Rider I need to be in order to win, but...I didn't like the examples I was seeing.

I'm still determined to win, and to save Eri. But I'm going to do it on my terms. And if it means I'm changing into someone unlike the Riders who should be the winners, then I guess it's something I can live with.

It's been a rather ridiculous last few days to be honest, over here in Kanon Town. First off, the new Precure Cure Muse had shown up again, but instead of helping us completely, she also released all of the notes that both we and Trio the Minor gathered instead of giving them to us for safe care.

And then that's not the tip of it. Trio the Minor accused her of being Seiren, but considering she doesn't talk at all, we couldn't peg her down at all. Of course THAT got debunked the moment that Seiren and Muse were in the same place at the same time, and that's even after Hummy almost brought her over to our side.

Yeah, Seiren ALMOST came over to our side but then she decided against us. Hummy isn't sad though, after we gave her some cupcakes. Still though, this is getting annoying.

We then tried flushing her out at school but no one responded, and we had a lot of false leads. And of course Seiren took advantage of it and turned into Muse. She threw our Modules into the ocean, but Hummy was able to retrieve them so we could fight her. The real Muse showed up after that and fought the fake one.

In all, it's been a lot of frustration lately, and a whole lot of head scratching. Anyone have thoughts on this sort of thing?
