I Have My Little Pleasures

Everything is quiet.

Things are improving. Vastly improving.

I...played pirates with Dorian and Ryuzaki yesterday. Admittedly, I was clueless throughout, but the enthusiasm, particularly Dorian's, was an addiction. Surely, I made made many mistakes, but both were there to encourage me. It was...nice. A bit like the freedom Morana described, but without wings.

Morana helped me climb to the crow's nest. That was an experience. She said I wouldn't have fallen, but my, my...I've never been so high anywhere before. I originally believed it would be a pointless climb, but she was right. It really was much more, hm, refreshing up there.

I've been above deck several times now. Salty air makes me sneeze, but I find it quite amusing. The sound of waves lapping up against the keel paints a picture all its own. Being out in the open air helps my seasickness some.

Thanks to Kain, I was able to actually save a handful of my antidotes. I owe a great deal to him. If there is anything I can do to repay you, Kain, do not hesitate to tell me. I am also greatly pleased to hear Morana is feeling better. Things, I hope, are calming down.

I expect they are.

{AN: @.@ Okay, no journal entries from this chick for a while. Talkative woman! ...Watch, I'll update in three days anyway >.>}

What...what was that quake? I was in the greenhouse at the time, but when I returned to my room...all my medicines, my hard work...were spilled on the floor. The salves, the antidotes... All rolled off their shelves.

Alessa has fled, the others are in panic, but Morana is an outright emotional breakdown.

What did I miss?

{AN: Technically, I'm still on semi-hiatus, but I'm slowly crawling out of it! =D My computer's still being fixed, but I have this one here, and while it's not great, I think I can start to catch up.}

Welcome to all the new members.

If you require healing, you may find me in room 103 with Alice. If you require anything else, I am to be found somewhere in Asgard or around it. I wouldn't recommend leaving the lawns of Asgard unless you can defend yourself or you are with someone who can protect you.

The Trial of the Mind is fast approaching. I am actually rather confident we will outstrip Niflheim in this. They seem to rely heavily on brute strength and trickery. We are a fair bit keener than that.

Other than that slight observation, I have nothing further to discuss publically on the matter.

{PRIVATE TO ASGARD, UNA, UNHACKABLE}

I apologize for the sudden shift in my behavior, but I request to be left alone for the next several days. I shall be spending most of my time in the greenhouse, if there is to be an emergency. Otherwise, I expect everyone to respect my plea of privacy.

Ryuzaki, I...I am sorry. Truly, deeply sorry. I do desire to meet with you, but I need some time to myself. There are so many things on my mind right now.



{AN: She's gone to cry a little bit xD

The reason she's so upset can be found here.  That, and several other confrontations have left her rather shaken up.}

Sir Metatron's announcement has left quite an impact on all of us, I've noticed. I think it has...ah...'sobered' us up.

I feel awful about it, truly, as when I read his words I couldn't help but feel as if I'd been thinking the same thing all along, and I fought my hardest to not desire to point fingers at any one person. I am as much to blame as the next individual; we are a collective and we must share responsibility. Many of us have made valid points. I suppose now all we must do is coalesce these ideas into something with a solid foundation. ...Hm. It is easier said than done.

When Will was unwell, I tried to communicate with him, but he shut me out. I am rather frustrated at this time over that matter. My only hopes at this time are that he is in better condition. As for Henry - I hope your "talk" went over well and that you are renewed in your happiness.

Alice has returned from several outings around Asgard. She seems to hold the candle for caution at this point, as after all the kidnappings and attacks, she has remained unaffected by any denizen of Niflheim. This doesn't mean, however, that I do not fear for her safety at times. Being so audacious can eventually catch up with you.
{End Private}

And...has anyone seen Ryuzaki? We were planning to meet together, but it seems he's vanished. I know he has a penchant for wandering off on his own and there are several from Niflheim who would rather he were dead than alive. I'm scared for him.
