Well, even if certain people who are huge jerks won't be coming too, I'm all set for tomorrow! My costume wound up being a little big on me, probably because I'm kinda on the short side, but it's not like it's a huge tragedy. I mean, it's not like I need or want to show off my stomach or anything, and it still looks plenty cute on me! I'm definitely going to be ditching those heels for something more sensible, though, and the fishnets are probably going to go, too.

I should probably try to sleep or something, but... I don't know, I'm completely wound up right now! Maybe I'm just too excited for my own good. I can't help it, though--I just love these big social events!

Ahhh, I really shouldn't watch scary movies by myself at night! I'm seriously never going to be able to get to sleep now. I mean, you'd think I wouldn't be easily scared by this point, and especially not of made up things, but I can't help it! I've just... always been that way, and I guess I always will be.

But! I guess I should at least try to distract myself so I stop thinking about it now. So, uhm... the weather has been nice the last couple of days! Not too cold, not too hot. I wish it would stay like that, but I know it'll keep getting colder from now until sometime next year... eugh. You'd think I'd have learned to cope with the cold by now, too. I guess I'm just full of surprises right now!

...Nope, not working. I'll probably just sleep with a light on tonight, then.

Hey, Sol? Would you mind if I brought the kids over to your room right now? I kind of don't want them bothering anyone in my quad right this second. Not for a couple of days, at least.


...Besides, I kind of feel like doing something tonight. Interested?

Well, there they are! The classes I'm taking this semester. I can't believe the school years already starts tomorrow! It makes me wonder where all the time went this summer, you know?

Anyway, though! I'm feeling really... bouncy and restless right now. I guess it's just the same jittery feeling I get before the start of every semester, though. You'd think I'd be over that by now, but apparently not! Jeez... I need to figure out something to do tonight to keep my mind off it. It's times like this I wish I could cook without making toxic sludge. It seems like a really nice way to spend some time.

My little brother is here ♥


That almost makes up for the fact that they made us pack up and move again! Jeez, I never realize how much stuff I have until I have to move all of it. And then I had to help Maxi with all of his stuff this time because of his arm and then Kilik because he's not even here right now, and both of them are even worse than I am. I can't believe it. Aren't girls supposed to be the ones that like useless junk and have way too many extra pairs of shoes?

...Which reminds me, I guess I never said anything about where I am now, did I? Well, I'm in Cattelya North if you want to stop by or anything. I mean, I'm still unpacking, but... Which reminds me! Maxi, you still need some help with your stuff too, right? I'll stop by tomorrow morning and give you a hand. Oh, and Shinji and Al--where are you two now? You got everything moved okay, right?

Well, so much for sleeping off the pain. Ow, ow, ow... I might have gotten roughed up a little worse than I thought. I hope I didn't pull anything in this shoulder... Maybe I should just be more careful with how I sleep. Hopefully that's all the problem is...

Well, it was nice to sleep in my own bed again, at least! I'm not sure if the kids feel the same way, though. I'm pretty sure they miss the music hall already... Well, they'll just have to get used to staying in the quad again, won't they? That shouldn't be too hard, right?

Al, Shinji? Are you both doing okay? You're both... feeling alright, aren't you? If there's anything I can do for either of you, even if it's just talking or something like that, don't hesitate to tell me!

And... mm! Kilik, Maxi, do you mind if I stop by now? I took those light magic classes, so I might as well put them to use...

[ ...She's asleep on top of her journal. And snoring a little. There might even be a couple of spots where she drooled on the pages. ]

[ Apparently, she had opened it up to let everyone else know that she's fine, and had wound up just passing out on top of it instead. ]

[ This page is a little torn and beat up--actually, it looks like a pair of little mouths with sharp little teeth are having their way with it right now. Suddenly, the page stretches and straightens, and two more chunks rip away. ]

I should have known I would find this when I found you two. Why do you guys have to go and run off with my stuff like this all the time?

[ It would seem that Xianghua is talking to her ferrets. There a couple of seconds of silence when she reaches out to pet them; then, once she has done so, she starts speaking again. ]

You two are probably having the time of your life here. There's way more room to roam around than there is in the quads... [ Her voice drops a little here, and she sounds a bit more emotionally worn than before. ] Mmm, still. It'll be nice when this is all over, even for you. I mean, at least then...

[ She sighs, then falls silent. ]

...Alright, the music hall. I've got my jian, and both the kids are packed up in their carriers, so I think I'm ready to go. I wish Sol was--no, that's selfish. It's good that he's not here for this, at least... Still, I wish he could have taken the kids with him. I don't want to have to worry about them at a time like this.

Ark, Al, are you two both alright? Have you left yet? Kilik, Maxi? Do... any of you want to walk with me too the music hall? It's probably safer for all of us that way. Or, really... anyone, if they would like. I don't mind watching other people's backs at a time like this.

Mm, well! My head feels much better now than it did before. Faust said there wasn't anything wrong with it in the first place, though, and it must have just been a lingering effect of whatever was affecting my memory. So... I guess I won't worry about it too much, since nothing seems to be wrong with me now.

I can remember... a little of the past month now, but not too much. I mean, everything is still really... blurry, and I can't remember any details, but I can recall the big things that happened. I guess that's as good as it's going to get since it hasn't gotten any better over the last couple of days, so I'll just be happy that I'm back to normal now.

Anyway, Kilik said he was going to cook dinner for me, so I guess I'll head over to his quad now. It would be rude to keep him waiting, and I'm pretty hungry now anyway.

Jeez... What is wrong with my head..? I can barely even stay on my feet without almost toppling over. And everything seems really... blurry. Like my eyes won't focus or something. Man, did I hit my head on something without realizing it? It doesn't hurt or anything, but... I don't know. I mean, I don't think I did, but what else could it be?

Maybe I'll just try to sleep it off or something. I mean, I'm already laying down here, and what did I do today that... could have...


...

Okay, this is really... Now I'm definitely worried. I can't... I can't think of anything that happened today at all. I really must have hurt myself! I can't even--I can't even think of what day it is or anything. Or when I got into bed. Or... or...

This is scary.

...Well. Back here again. Not that I didn't expect to come back here, but I didn't it just feels a little strange, is all. Hee. I never thought Maxi would be so insistent about it. Oh, well. I've been getting a lot of surprises lately, so why not?

Anyway, it's not like it's terrible to be here again or anything. I mean, for one thing, it's great to have an actual bed! Speaking of which... I'm really tired. I think I'm going to sleep for a few days a little while. If anyone needs me, you know where to find me, right?

Ah--?! When did this--?!

Ooooh, you know, these computer things are really weird. Well, this whole place is, really, but that's probably not a nice thing to say. I wonder why Edgemaster told me to come here anyway? We didn't have anything even a little bit like them where I come from, so it's gonna take me some time to get used to this. Do I really have to use this thing? I mean, really? ...Although I guess if I don't use it at all, I'll never get any better at it. Right... just like using a weapon! I need to practice, then.

So... Other people are supposed to be able to read this, aren't they? I'm doing it the right way now, aren't I? ...It'd be really embarrassing if I wasn't. I hope I am. And... Oh, right, I should probably say a little something about myself, huh? My name is Cha--wait, no. It's supposed to be written the other way around here, isn't it? Really weird. Xianghua Chai. I'll be starting at the college here soon and specializing in combat. It'll be nice to meet everyone.

So, anyway, I'm roomed in... Gladiolus North? I found the place I'll be staying without getting lost, and I've already unpacked all my stuff, so that's good at least. I guess I should say hi to the people I'm rooming with, though. It'd be rude not to. So... hello! I'm sure we'll get along alright!

...You know, I think I'm going to lie down for a little while now. My head feels kind of weird now... Like it's fuzzy? I'm probably just tired. Traveling here took a lot out of me!


((ooc: Nope, Xianghua hasn't been reset--I-no has just been messing with her memories. She'll be back to normal at some point, but for now, enjoy the confusion!))

I win~ ♥

Kilik, Maxi, you guys are mean. Just because it's getting warmer outside doesn't mean the water isn't still pretty damn cold! Couldn't you have waited until summer to go chucking me in? Jerks. I'm practically still wringing salt water out of my clothes.

And no, I don't think I deserved it for what I said to Kilik! I was just trying to help. Jeez.

Ah~ It's finally getting nice out! Man, I'm glad spring's started up. I mean, it took it long enough! Now I can stop wearing all the layers. Well--hopefully, anyway. If it gets cold again all of the sudden I'm gonna be really ticked off.

Hey, Sol. Wanna go out to celebrate the change in the weather?
