Say... Has anyone seen Yuu-chan around lately?

Now this is ridiculous. I can't be dead, I m the greatest and the most feared Pirate that has ever lived--- the flames of hell will never keep imprisoned. I shall find my way out of here, even if it will take forever, no matter what I will get my revenge on you, Peter Pan an the Lost Boys. And then no happy thought will help you anymore, or my name isn't Captain James Hook.

..Man that's weird.

It feels like I've been asleep for months.

[This would be Lute lying on the ground. He managed to drag himself a general distance into Midian, but after a while he found it just too hard and collapsed. He has no idea where he is, whether this is heaven or hell (though he doubts heaven would be this horrifyingly painful), or whether he's even dead at all-- which only raises more questions, because how he possibly still be alive?

Anyways, you're all free to notice him... he looks pretty much like he did the first time he was here. And of course, he'll have no memory of you if you've previously met. And he might be freaked out since he's partially blind and mute right now.]

Ah... Hello?

[There are some faint, barely audible noises as various keypad buttons are pressed.]

Is it on? Looks like a new model... maybe they haven't worked out the kinks yet.

[There's silence as more buttons are pressed, then a sigh.]

Well, if anyone can hear this, please send an ambulance and a working phone to the big creepy staircase. Something to eat, too - I think I'm starting to hallucinate.

[More fiddling, filled with incoherent mumbling, and then the post ends. He apparently found the 'off' function.]

Nn...

[Peony's wandering around, trying to figure out exactly what to do next. He's a bit disoriented and a little in shock at the wound in his abdomen. Unsure of what direction to proceed in next or whether or not he should talk to any of the other people wandering around, he slumps against a tree and sighs, rubbing his forehead.]

Man, this kind of sucks.

[There's a bit of rustling as he turns in circles, taking in his surroundings. He's below the graveyard, and there's a strange mound of snow nearby. When he speaks, he sounds confused and worried.] I... Where am I? What is this place?

Naminé?

[People who lives near the Ichihara Reed-resident may notice and wonder that, hay? Where almost all snow has gone? Even though the weather has become much warmer than it was a month ago, there still was some of the snow left.

Did it all melt during the afternoon just like that? Of course not, that's not possible.

So, there is a huge pile of snow in the backyard and Sora is sitting on top of it doing something with snow. But if you look at the snow mountain carefully, you see that it resembles the very poorly made snow castle, which looks like it will be collapsing at any minute now.

But no worries! It wont, since Sora has taken care of that with the 'Blizzaga'-spell.]

Almost ready~~!

[some static is heard, and then a couple coughs and some muttering in Spanish followed by a voice, and it sounds like the voice's owner has a bit of a sore throat]

Where on earth am I? This is definitely not my house! I really need to go home, too. Ahhh, my people, they must hate me... Leaving them just after the war, and to a place I don't even know... And I don't think some of them like the new boss very much. I-it might get violent!

[there's a pause, and the voice quietens]

What a mess... The world is in such an awful state right now.

[they're walking in the graveyard]
What's that place?
We're not in the shop!
It's really huge and scaaaaaary...
Scary!
But Maru and Moro aren't allowed to stay outside...
Mistress'll be mad!
But...
Mistress is here..
Maru can feel her presence.... Maybe we're supposed to be here too...
Mistress? Mistress?
Can you hear us? Can you hear us?

...
Germany? Japan? [he sound scared]
This is a weird place! Germany? Germany? [Italy never saw a place like that before, never Grandpa Roman Empire showed him something like that]
Gemrany? [He screamed for a while, then calmed down. That was obvius, it was a joke or someting... and, at least, Germany are sure coming to save him.] Awww... [he walked back to the grave where he was sitting and sit again on it. At least he isn't hungry. Not yet.]

[There's an exasperated sigh followed by the shuffling of feet. His voice unmistakable for those who know him. Although this time, his voice is low and almost cold.]

I believe this is already the underworld... I figured as much. I deserve any punishment for all the things I've done.

My chest aches real bad... I suppose there are some sensations you'll manage to carry over even on the other world.

[There's a small winged blur flying around Midian, taking in the sights with some degree of surprise.]

The heck is this place?

[you can hear she laughs]
I can't belive it, they killed me nyaa!
...
Because they killed me, right? [you can hear she laughs again] what a stupid place, a dead one who wakes up in a graveyard, that's so classic that I can cry [laughs] I wonder if my corpse is in this grave. nyaaa
Hey, can someone hear me? It's Haaaaruko.

[Soo.. If you have been sharp and looked to the sky you might have noticed a person with wings flying there around Midian.]

This is unexpected.. I don't know this place. Is this where we are supposed to come after fading away?

And why do I feel his presence.

[There is a quiet, low chuckle before the sound of Alucard's voice can be heard, his words practically dripping with amusement...]

Fee-fi-fo-fum,
I smell the blood of an Englishman,
Be he alive, or be he dead,
I'll have his bones to grind my bread.

[If your characters have been wondering around town early this morning, chances are they have found shiny pamphlets stuck in visible places - such as the main square, the shopping district and the library - and a small pile of folded sheets of paper beside them. On a closer inspection, one can see the words "Moe Moe Midian Journal" written on the front page, along with the following headline and text:

A Scorching Romance!

Midian's sensation couple, Clow-san and Yuuko-san, also known as Mr. and Mrs. Reed, have finally returned from their well deserved honeymoon, but it looks like the flames of their passion are still burning!

On Saturday, 27th, there was a loud explosion coming from the Reed residence, but unlike rumors have it, it was not a kitchen accident! In fact, our very faithful resource has informed us that was merely a magical manifestation of their beautiful and ever growing love! Of course, you could expect nothing less from such a powerful wizard and witch! It sounds just like a manga I read, kyaaa~!

"They were colleagues when Reed-san was alive, but didn't pursue a relationship until he came here," a different resource has told us. So while in this place, their tragic and wonderful love story has finally had a happy ending, and Clow-san and Yuuko-san now have the chance to make up for the lost time - and they waste no opportunities, either! Kyaaaa, that's so MOE! ♥

Congratulations, Clow-san and Yuuko-san! May your flaming love keep burning this town to ashes!



Old acquaintances, new friends!

Weeks ago, former Host Club President, Tamaki Suoh, has been spotted at his residence in the company of former Black Magic Club President, Umehito Nekozawa. The two have been spotted drinking commoners' coffee together and taking the time to get to know each other.

In the past, Tamaki-san has shown a lot of fear for Nekozawa-san's macabre ways, often hiding from him in order to not get cursed like he claims to once have been. Nekozawa-san, on the other hand, has always shown a particular interest on Tamaki-san, and he often would sneak into the Host Club sessions unnoticed. Could it be that Tamaki-san is planning to recruit Nekozawa-san into the new and improved Host Club team? Or maybe Nekozawa-san's interest has developed into something more? Kyaaa, that would be so MOE! ♥

We will keep you informed on this new and unexpected friendship! Stay tuned, everyone!]

[gasp] What was that loud noise?

((backdated entry is backdated))

The clock marks 5:44 pm, just barely ticking its way to a quarter to six in the afternoon. At first glance, it looks like any other day in the land of the dead that is coming to an end, just as quietly and peacefully as the title would suggest. If only looks weren't so deceiving.

On a closer inspection, anyone living in the Ichihara-Reed manor - which by itself means a considerable crowd, as half the Midian population has been staying there - or in the neighborhood area may have heard a thundering sound coming from the mansion, followed by thick clouds of smoke and the unmistakable smell of burnt materials. Could it be that Clow has taken to making his crazy experiments inside the house and not at his workplace like he's supposed to? Or maybe Soel and Larg got a little playful and things got out of hand?

No, none of that; this time, it's only Yuuko. In the kitchen. And for once - and most definitely not out of her own free will - she's not the one pouncing on the cook and demanding her meal; today, she's the one providing the feast.

It's a good thing no one in this world can die from food poisoning.


[ooc: On Mokona's dare, Yuuko had to cook dinner when she returned from her honeymoon, but she was wise enough not to do it right away and ruin everyone's Christmas with her bad cooking. Comments disabled because this comm is just for introductions and announcements, but journal reactions are welcome and encouraged. ♥]

What a strange place this is. Not at all what I would have imagined... then again, I'm not sure I imagined anything in particular, to be honest.

Not that it matters. I have more important things to think about at the moment.

Eriol, Ruby, I know you are both here. (Interesting how I can still feel your magic, even here... even with those other strong presences around.) Where can I find you?
