Hm...

Anyone have scissors? I need to... even something up a bit. Wow, this looks different...

Watanuki...

Is there anything I can do to help? Anything...?

I don't like just sitting here...

A race...

I suppose I should be excited, but competition was never something I handled well especially when I was with the gang. I just hope nothing terrible happens. We do need the race, I guess, when you look at recent events.

I know Beat's going, so if nothing else, we can watch it together. I can't help smiling when I think about that...

[OOC: Strikes hackable.]

[There's a small sound, like the journal was opened/clicked on by accident.]

...Should I still call them 'mom' and 'dad'? Would they want me to? Maybe not, leaving the way I did. I wrote them a letter saying I was okay, but I don't know if they received it or not.

I hope Kusame's doing all right; he was always a bit jittery, but maybe that was just around me.

[There's a sound of a quill going across paper.]

How... is... Kusame? Is he... doing all right... in school? Yes, that's good.

[A pause, followed by a sigh.]

This is more difficult than I thought.

A terrorist bombing, now? How awful. That poor reporter... As if I needed memories of that. I guess the only comfort we can get out of it is that we weren't there when it happened, and even that...

It's not right.

It seems the repairs are going smoothly, so that's a good sign. I'd hate to think the ship was beyond repair.

As much as I hate to admit this, my leg has been bothering me. I was wondering if I could talk to a medic, if they aren't too busy. If they are, then I can look for a place in Bydan to get it looked at. A place like this probably has plenty of doctors.

Hm... Guess it's that time. Should treat myself after all.

Hey, anyone want to go exploring Bydan with me? We're going to be here a while, so I kind of want to figure out the layout and everything.

[OOC: It's Haine's birthday, but she didn't tell many people when it is. I think Rikku (and probably the Captain) are the only ones who DO know when her b-day is.]

[Sounds here are mainly of feet running, sounds of battle muffled in the background.]

I need all Gunners to the gunnery deck! We're going to take that ship down!

I'm not hiding this time.

Magentabeard is going to wish he never approached this ship! If you need me on the gunnery deck, let me know.

[OOC: Haine is camping out at one of the entrances to the interior of the ship, ready to fire at any of Magentabeard's crew that wish to come on board. All replies to this post will be in voice, and will be responded to by voice.]

So, it's finally over. Is everyone all right? I'm sorry I couldn't be more help... I honestly didn't want to risk harming any of you. The real ones, I mean, despite what I posted earlier. But I know that's no excuse, so I apologize, again.

On the positive side, good thing that ended when it did. I just ran out of food!

... Who wants to raid the kitchen? And by that I mean calmly gather in the galley and have a decent meal, of course.

...

If anyone tries to open my door... I will fire.

You've been warned.

I hope Beat's okay...

[OOC: Haine's barricaded herself in her room. 8D She does nooot like the puppets. At all. She also totally means what she says because she's learned, by now, better safe than sorry.]

So, how was everyone's Amicus? I hope you enjoyed it if you could!

Thanks for everyone who gave me advice when I was making Beat's gift. I think he liked my gift as much as I liked his~.

Nobody else is going to see this... I know I did the lock correctly... Okay! I never thought one of Kasuga's speeches would come in handy.

( This questionnaire... )

[The journal clicks on, the sound of soft humming heard. However, it's abruptly cut off by a small cry.]

Ow! Geez... You're going to ruin it if you keep doing that, Haine! I hope I still have some bandages. Half my fingers already.

[She grumbles, the sound of rummaging heard.]

Ah, there, I have a few more. Good...

[There's a loud thunk as the journal hits the floor.]

Oh, damn, I didn't mean to drop-

...Eh? This is on?! Shit!

[The journal clicks off.]

Hey, Beat...

You think, maybe, we could do something for Amicus? I'd really like to go out and do something, since it's a holiday and all...

Ugh...

Anyone else just get a chill?

Like... something is on the verge of happening, but you aren't sure what?

...

Is the crazy gone yet?

Ah... Thank you to everyone who helped me calm down a while back.

I really do appreciate it, and I'm sorry if I was snappy to anyone.

On a happier note...

Yuna! Let's go get some ice cream!

[Noise. Things being destroyed, guns being fired. Also, cries and yells of inconsolable rage. It's hard to tell exactly who it is, but whoever it is is clearly not happy.

There's a bit more, and then... silence.]

...

[Heavy breathing, and almost growling, are heard before Haine speaks, her voice almost unfamiliar, she's so angry.]

This will not stand.

Whoever is responsible for this will never see the sky again. They lost that right.

Hm...

[FILTERED to The WW||Unhackable]

Um, guys, what the hell is going on?

[FILTERED to Beat||Unhackable]

Hey, Beat.... How are you doing? I love you... I miss you, too.
