Panicky Idiot is slow on the draw

2009-02-28T23:48:10Z

You know, considering all the horrible stuff that's going on it would be nice if we had a reliable news source. There's no way we should have had to wait for the Patrolmen to decide to release the information before knowing about the horrible killer on the loose. I don't understand how people can just go on with their lives (and their parties!) when whoever killed those people is still out there. I mean I don't want to sound like an alarmist but is it really safe? I mean what if this lunatic decides now would be a good time to start planting bombs and his first target is the onsen? Of all the times to have a party!

I REALLY miss the internet. Being cut off from information and the outside world like this...it's ridiculous.

At least I have a new job that's more suited to me. Though I feel uncomfortable going too and from work, all things considered. At this rate I'll never leave my room.

Byakuran-san, I need to talk to you.

This is just confusing.

2009-01-13T02:05:59Z

Well, I guess that explains it. It still doesn't make a lot of sense, but at least now I have some, uh, context for what I remembered last time.

Lambo, do you remember crashing into my apartment that day? You caused a lot of damage. I brought you back to the Sawada house?

I remember my mom, my sister, my house and some guy named Spanner. Everyday stuff. At least I know I have a place to go back to.

[Private] But it doesn't make any sense. I saw Tsunayoshi-kun when I brought Lambo back, and he seemed to be about the same age as me. That was a long time ago, why does he still look the same? This probably has something to do with what Byakuran-san was saying about parallel ti-

AHHH-I don't want to think about that! That mafia business, it just doesn't seem right at all! How would I get involved in such a thing? [/private]

Byakuran-san thank you for the Christmas gifts, that was very kind of you. ~~Heather? Protection from harm? That sort of thing makes me a little nervous~~

The other gifts are...appreciated too. Acorns? Autographs? I don't really understand

[OOC-4% of memory recovered, 14% total. Shou-chan has remembered meeting Lambo more clearly, as well as some aspects of his home life. And geeking out with Spanner (Robots!)]

The root of all nightmares!

2008-10-30T22:25:27Z

Uh...
Er...
I...

*Gulp*

Will someone please take this box?! I need to get rid of it! Take it back to Sawada! I-I would but...!

Ah! The explosions and monsters playing niramekko, I'll die if I go back!

((OOC: Poor Shouichi's nightmares are canon. He's remembering the day Lambo crashed into his home, and all the wonderful events that followed...albeit in a distorted fashion. He's now trying to unload the Lambo apology box on anyone he meets. Even if they humour him and take his mystery box it'll just end up back in his possession. 3% memory regain.))

Bastard.

How much longer is this going to last? I can't stand it. Vyers is being more obnoxious than usual (what's all the yelling about?) and Byakuran-san is....Dammit

[Private; hackable]

He doesn't trust me? He's the one who never says what's really going on! I know he's keeping something important from me. The only person here from my world and he does nothing but tease me with bits and pieces of information (insane sounding information) just to tell me he doesn't trust me enough to tell me anything important. This isn't a game!

And I was worried about him too...

Guh, I blame the girl hormones. I don't care. I really don't. I'll work it all out by myself, eventually.
[/Private]

((3% memory regain concerning Leonardo Lippi not being who he was supposed to be (without remembering his actual identity) as well as the imposter's alarming proximity to Byakuran. 7% regained in total.))

Oh, Vyers

2008-08-25T01:26:27Z

Hey, roomie! I moved all those roses out of our room and gave them to Byakuran, since he seems to like them so much. Well, actually I got tired of carrying them after a bit (the entire thing just smacked off effort, you know?) so a lot didn't actually make it to his room. I think the hallways look a lot nicer with the splash of colour. You can just make more so it's cool, right? Thanks, you're a real pal, Vyers.

Everyone needs to mellow out

2008-08-23T00:07:28Z

Man, everyone's always so up and down here, totally all over the place. You all need to relax, so long as you've got your health, sunshine and Kyuss playing on your headphones everything is copacetic. I spent all day just watching the clouds go by. Work probably missed me but I didn't miss work. Can't let the little things pass you by or you'll wake up one day, look around you and say 'Dude, what did I do with my life?' And I'll just be all cool thinking 'Hey, I know where the best eats are, I've heard the trees talking and yesterday I watched the sun make its journey across the sky and I don't feel like I've missed a thing.'

My eyes kinda hurt.

Oh, Byakuran-san. I remember you once gave me a bunch of flowers. Like a tonne of them. I think I was all stressed at the time, dunno why, it was neat. So I picked up a flower for you*. There's like...a hundred of them outside, but I like this one. It's not the prettiest or the tallest, it's actually kinda ugly, but it's fine with who it is. It's gonna die now, cuz I picked it and everything, but THIS was once a totally cool flower. And that makes it the best. Or something. Yeah, it's general crumminess gives it character.

*((It's a dandelion))

((1% memory gain, 4% total with zero remaining))

Roommate trouble

2008-06-13T03:02:46Z

[filtered away from Vyers]

Er, I don't suppose anyone knows who I talk to about switching rooms? The third floor appears to be almost empty, so it can't be an issue of space and...well, I don't think I can stand to room with Vyers any longer. At first he was just loud, insulting and generally inconsiderate but the last few days he's done nothing but...sob. I've tried asking him if he was okay but all he did was cry at me (which was really awkward). To make matters worse I left for a few minutes to get something to eat and he must have locked the door behind me. He doesn't seem to plan on letting me back in any time soon.

I know I could probably have someone let me in, or get another key made, but I really think it would be easier if I just found somewhere else to stay, at least until Vyers ~~stops acting insane~~ calms down.

Does anyone know Vyers well and could reason with him? I'd at least like to get my stuff (well, my jacket, I guess) out of the room [/filter]

[Private] I don't understand that memory at all. What happened to that man (Glo?) that left him so battered? Broken fingers, a broken jaw...just what sort of dangerous thing was I involved in?

I don't know how much I should tell Byakuran-san. I have no reason to keep anything from him but...I just need to get some things sorted out first.[/private]

((3% memory regain, 3% total.))

Gak.

2008-06-08T19:46:46Z

W-well, I've been doing my best to adapt to this...uh...'unique' situation for the last few days. Ahahaha...ha. I, er, haven't been able to make it to my new job because the person I've...switched bodies with keeps collapsing, so I've been kind of...stuck. I also feel a little sick just being around myself. I keep wanting to ask the girl about it but then she just faints again. It's no big deal though...no, no big deal.

Neither are the weird memories (at least I think they're memories) I'm picking up every night in my dreams. N-no, those aren't a big deal at all....

*snap*

The horses fly and crash into people! 'Thud,' just like that! Huey almost crushed someone! Whoever heard of a flying Huey?! And there was a dragon, a giant killer dragon! A real one, with scales and claws and (oh god) the fangs! The fangs!!!

I CAN'T GET USED TO THIS, TSUNA!!!

It's too much. Am I stuck like this?

Doing a little better...maybe (not really).

2008-05-29T23:14:41Z

I still feel pretty at loss, it's so strange to be here with no memories, surrounded by people dealing with the same thing. I guess there isn't much I can do about it other than try to adapt as best I can...to a place with no working phones...televisions...computers...and where people randomly hit you in the face with heavy objects, scream at you and lurk in the bushes asking you to name them...*twitch*

~~Oh God, it really is too much. Why are there so many crazy people?! I saw some huge guy with scars and bells in his hair! Why bells?!~~

At least I still have my music. It's a small thing, but it helps. It's strange I remember all those songs, but nothing about myself. Memory is a strange thing. Looking at the outfit I arrived in I'm starting to wonder if maybe I was some sort of LARPer. I can't think of any other explanation for wearing something so bizarre.

But LARPing? That is pretty sad

On the other hand I found my room. I haven't had a chance to talk to my roommate yet. Vyers, is it? ~~Strange name~~. I hope we're able to get along okay (though I'd much rather have a room to myself). I guess I need a job, but there isn't much posted, and what is...really doesn't suit me. I don't know what I'm going to do.

These journals are a pretty interesting resource though, at least reading through the older entries and learning about the recent history of this place should give me something to do ~~In order to keep my mind off the terrible wrongness of this place. Gah!~~

Worried commander

And another thing, you can’t just...

What was I saying just now? I must have lost my train of thought...

....Huh...I can’t seem to recall it now. Or anything else, actually...

Ahhh!!! I can’t remember anything!!! Where am I? Did I hit my head? (Amnesia?) This is really bad! I don’t-

-Why am I dressed in this weird outfit? Cosplay? (Man, I really hope not). This ring is really tacky...but I... Oh thank god, there’s a cell phone in one of the pockets of this jacket, I can call for help *starts dialing*

(...I don’t even know who I’m calling! 911 maybe?)

EHHHH?! No signal!? Now what?

I could boost the reception...I, uh...just need a paperclip...or something...maybe a twist tie...Don’t think about the fact you don’t know where you are, or who you are or even what you had for breakfast this morning...just don’t or you’ll lose it.

*Shouichi can now be found wandering around memento_eden looking lost and trying to get his cellphone to work*
