voice;

[The crackling, roaring sound of a raging fire greets the journal this day. In the background, the frazzled screams of shopkeepers, residents, and other people can be heard.]

Yes . . . now they understand. Why must it be only I who suffers?

Give me my happily ever after!

[Shouts of "you madwoman!" and "you're going to pay for this!" ring out in the crowd, but no one dares attack Kodachi because she's already put to sleep several of those who tried.]

When will I get married?!



action; open to the crews of the Katabami and the Million Merrily

[Kodachi's standing in the middle of a town square. Behind her, the precious gardens, temples, and shops of Eternal Bliss are burning in a blazing inferno.]

[She's still in her wedding gown, a black rose bouquet clutched in her hands.]



[ooc; after the fire's put out, about half of Eternal Bliss (or "marriage island") will have been burnt to a crisp. No one will be hurt, but the island certainly won't as pretty as it once was. If you want someone to blame, blame Ranma.]

[Something has been troubling Roxas, he has a question that he really wants to get a poll on.]

I was on Candy Mountain and there was a puddle made of chocolate.

I drank some of it, because it's chocolate.

Then a turtle told me I'm weird.

Is that weird?

- Roxas

(By the way - It was delicious.)

 Anyone know a good way to make a lot of cash quick?

I guess if it can't be done quickly, just... general is good.

And for the love of Naga, don't tell Ma Maribelle.

[ Thankfully while Akiko might have been turned in to a little kid she managed to keep her adult mind at least. Which meant trying to get people to take her seriously even when she looked like a cute little kid. ]

While I didn't hear about any of this, things still need to have order. Or at least trying to figure out who's good with kids?

I don't mind giving tips to people because I've helped a bunch of kids during my time at the detective agency I run!

[When you open your journal today, you might stumble upon a drawing that appears to be created with all the artistic talent of a five years old child:]



[If that has you confused, wait for the next part.]

Hello, everyone! What a lovely day it is!

[That... certainly doesn't sound very Ragna-like, yet despite the uncharacteristic cheerfulness, it's definitely his voice.]

I can't believe I only now noticed how wonderful this place is. So many amazing people to meet and befriend! Places to see! Adventures to have! The very thought of spending the upcoming months traveling with my beloved crew fills my heart with joy! How come I've never appreciated this before?

[There's a small sigh as he says that, but it's quickly followed with a happy giggle. Yes, a giggle. Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse...]

Also, also! I realized I haven't really spoken to a lot of you, though I can't imagine why. Come on, speak up! I want to get to know and make friends with all of you!

Have a nice day, everyone! And remember, friendship is magic!

Ragna the Bloodedge, out! ♥

This is awful! I was getting all ready for Spring, for the flowers to bloom across the sea, but this abnormal blizzard's making me want to keep inside. This won't do at all, I have so much shopping I need to do in case the Navy shows up again! [She's running out of gunpowder and needs to stock back up on ammunition. But traversing through snow is always a pain.]

Is it even safe to be outside? This stuff looks hazardous. If I go out and catch a disease, there'll be hell to pay once I'm 100% again. [Not that she knows who would catch hell to begin with. Maybe whoever chose not to warn her about the snow. Which could be anybody at this point.]

It does make me feel nostalgic though... is it just me, or does being around snow bring back warm memories? If only the snow itself could be as nice and warm as memories can be. How unfair!

[Leave her to her griping. She misses being comfy with her Grandmother around...]

This journal is a bit odd, it looks like something Philip would have because he wanted to learn about myths dealing with the ocean. Honestly, if this came out of the budget for this month I'm going to have to knock some sense in to them.

But besides that! I'm worried about my phone not working now... I didn't hear about any of this! Without a working phone and no way to contact two certain idiots from home my detective agency is going to be in ruins when I get back...

[ Akiko really doesn't want to think about how much money she's going to lose due to Shotaro and Philip not charging people when they take on cases while she's away. ]

I almost forgot to introduce myself, I'm Akiko, the chief of the Narumi detective agency. If you need someone to solve a case or find a lost pet then I'm the best person to go to!

Ahh... but it might be a bad idea if you ask how to get out of here because I don't even know how I got here in the first place.

I guess there are a lot of new-person journal entries right now, so I'm not the only one who's confused. Almost nice Who are all of you people? None of this is fairy familiar. I've seen journals like this, but not for a hundred people to share.

Anyways... My name is Cerise Hood. If any of you know more about what's going on, can you tell me? I'll get out of your hair after that. This stuff I'm hearing about the Navy isn't too welcoming, but I don't want to get stuck here forever after, either.

...How much do any of you know about fairy tales? It's related, I swear.

(Strikes are all visible!)
