If you have any concerns with my characterization or suggestions on how I can better force him to interact within the game, please let me know here. ♥

Well, every actor has to exit the stage eventually, doesn't he?

Farewell~! God knows when we shall meet again. ♥


[>ERROR: USER NOT FOUND]

Wars that will never be won, debts left unpaid, unresolved feelings that will never be returned. All recurring themes throughout the millennia of human culture; all beautiful in relaying the inherent emptiness of human existence, that very existence we've all sought to escape. And to think, for all our superiority, that our own stories will end no better!

But the tragic endings are almost always the most memorable, aren't they?

Here I was just pondering how few people I know seem to stay here for long, when I realized I've been here a full year as of today! Dear me, I must be a dreadful person to deserve all this. ♥

Oh~! Thylas, I don't suppose you'd be a dear and tell me if there's a way to replace my roses. The poor things had no chance of making it through that nasty flood.

I imagine it's an interesting experience to come face to face with another version of yourself. How are you finding it, Karl~?

Ah, none of us have been very talkative lately~ There's just something in the winter air, isn't there?

So many disappearing recently! I certainly hope this doesn't mean I'm out of a job. Are you taking back over, Charles? You wouldn't fire your brother, would you? ♥

And speaking of disappearances, Haji, you've hardly even spoken to me since that little... encounter of ours. How very cold~

I suppose it's been a rather nice holiday season, all things considered~♥ Though I wonder if it can really count as wassail when it's made and served in a pot.

How many new years have we all seen now? It's much easier than you'd think to lose track of these things~

Because it can't remember what color it was, isn't that right? I'm sure we've both seen enough winters, but I would have liked to have seen your reaction to it just the same.


Ah, and the cycle continues! Not that I mind, of course~

Well. I'll be sure to find you a warm coat to go with that new dress, Diva~♥

Solomon? We are going to do something fun for Christmas, aren't we~?

She comes and goes and comes and goes again and again, with little changing each time. It's a rather tiring cycle, don't you think? All of this, I mean. Even as the setting continues to evolve, the major characters seem terribly stagnant.

Mm. Is that your plan, then? Boring me into repentance?

Ah! Well, that was all rather unseemly, wasn't it~? How embarrassing. ♥

Given everyone else's reactions, I suppose it's safe to assume this little thing isn't anyone's missing child~

Well, well, I didn't think I was one to be so easily caught off-guard. Letting my senses dull, am I?

I do have to admit, this isn't exactly one of the more pleasing experiences I've had here. Very nice little trick, but I think the word on my forehead combined with those charming flashbacks were enough to get the point across, don't you? If anything, it only makes me want to be less active once these ridiculous effects go away; I think I'll have earned the rest. Very frustrating, very-- I can't even stop typing once I start, apparently; the fingers don't seem to want to stop. How the roses climb, how sublime the time when--

All right, time to find something else to do, then.

The party last weekend was a welcome break~ Such charming costumes everyone came up with! Was Shakespeare too obscure or too specific, I wonder? Ah, what a shame, I was rather proud of it~

Haji, I'd almost think you were avoiding me~♪



Ah, while I have a chance at getting your attention -- Hera, dear, or whomever you had doing your dirty work, was it really necessarily to write "sloth" on my face? Wrath, pride, envy; those are words that have power and evoke intrigue. Being labeled a three-toed jungle animal is hardly on the same level~

Diva, dear~? What are your thoughts on this Halloween party everyone has been fussing over? If you'd like to go, I can start making you something special to wear~♥

Ah~ Solomon, I'm afraid I gave your birthday wishes to Charles. ♥

Things have gone sour quickly, haven't they? Such unfortunate timing; I was looking forward to hearing what Haji thought of our little date last night, but I imagine he has more pressing things to dwell on. I certainly hope you kiss her better than that~♪

Oh dear, I'm a bit late, aren't I~?

Even if we aren't on the best terms at the moment, I do hope you had a good birthday. ♥

Well, I suppose the dress shop isn't in business any longer, then? What a shame. There aren't nearly enough aesthetically pleasing places here.

I'll continue to make garments on my own if anyone is ever in need, of course~ Don't hesitate to ask; my prices are always reasonable. ♥

Well, Diva's return has certainly brightened things up here in our household~ ♥ Just as the roses are beginning to bloom, too.

[[ooc: lmao as i was typing this entry and watching seinfeld puddy said "feels like an arby's night"]]

Hm~ I suppose there's no sense in leaving this dress half-finished. Do come try it on sometime, Saya ♥ I can always alter it to better suit your tastes, of course.

Solomon, Amshel? Did Diva wander off again while I was at work?

Really, darling, you have to stop disappearing on us. ♥ Our poor hearts can only take so much, you know.

Well, that was interesting~ Mildly surprising as well, which is more than I can say for most of the things that occur here.

I had an absolutely lovely time working with both of you~♥ Don't be strangers, hm~?
