A few quick things:

1) Jack, would you get back here already? You left to get Stephen out of the pot ages ago.

2) Gon, go ahead and take a quick soak now that Stephen's finally out. You've earned it.

3) Stephen, wake up and get over here already. You're seriously not pulling your weight.

4) What the heck happened to that little green guy? Shouldn't he be helping?

5) Did that Dean person ever make it to the village or what? We need more hands in here!

We're making good progress here, people! Let's keep it up! Just a little more!

Hey! My computer didn't shut down once during this post!!

Just so you guys know, the animals still don’t wanna be friends. Looks like it’s only Minagawa-san.

And Stephen-san won’t share the hot pot.

I hurt all over, Lee-kun, how do you keep going all this time?... And you're still going...

I think Neko-sensei would be proud I've never- Eh, we never did any classical today Lee! Does that mean... We have to do all this again tommorow???

Owwwwww...

Minigawa-san, your cat got scared by Lee and now it's staring at me funny. I swear I'm not anything tasty for a cat, can you take him away? Please?

Intriguing...

LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY cryptic_chef) Since no one on my team really seemed to be doing much, I decided to get started by collecting wood, pots, charcoal (if possible), and other such supplies. This challenge doesn't seem as bad as people are making it out to be. I don't know what you all are talking about, but it's not that cold. I was out in the forest and at the trading center for about half the day, yet I'm not wet, and it feels like I only need a light spring jacket on. Then again, a lot of strange, yet very good things have been happening recently.

1. Dubloons just show up in front of me.

2. With said dubloons I managed to purchase a lighter, some matches, two blankets, a small bag of charcoal, and some other materials.

3. I now have four voodoo dolls made.

4. I put up a 3-meter barrier around our cabin so no one other than our cabin mates could get in. This should prevent anyone from stealing or wrecking our stuff.   But that's not the shocking part. The shocking part is that nothing (as far as I can tell) has been altered or damaged. This is the first...maybe second time I've had a successful charm while on this island, so I'm pretty sure this barrier will last. For how long, I don't know, but it should work.

5. I seem to have Jun-like strength. The pots and pans I went to collect from the kitchen that Stephen said were so heavy felt like they weighed nothing more than two or three cook books.   If this is what it feels like to be Jun, then I wouldn't mind looking slightly girly. (No offense, Jun.)

6. Lastly, and this is the oddest of all, it feels like I've fallen into a fairy tale. I was out in the woods collecting wood (apparently wood is overly abundant in this forest, and despite all the snow, it was decently dry), and some animals came within 20 meters of me. They just sort of stopped and stared. The deer looked at me curiously, then left after a minute. A lion actually came over as well, as did other small creatures like squirrels and monkeys. This didn't actually seem to bother Suke, who had tagged along; in fact, he and the animals seemed to get along. By the time I had collected enough wood, I had a whole team of about six animals helping me! And it looked like Sukekiyo was their leader! The lion had larger pieces of wood in his mouth that he set down at my feet, and my ever-faithful crows had stones in their mouths, while a few monkeys brought me shiny objects.   So, I now have a compass that has a crack in the glass, a thimble, what looks like a crystal ball, some necklaces and rings, and silver tins that I can use for baking.   Because the animals were so gracious, of course I accepted the items.

7. Oh, and I have sweets: candy bars, cupcakes, and some things called Choco-Balls or something.

Plus, on top of all that... I've come up with a new dish.

This rabbit's foot is staying with me for a while; it's nice. Now all I need is Toku's plant...

Very important!

My toes are safe!

LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY beautifulgreen)

I have some very good news! Helga-san says that my toes are not going to fall off after all! I do not have frost bite! Apparently there was some black nail polish left on my little toe from my gangster costume the other week. That was definitely a huge relief to me! She said I did have hypothermia, though, so Stephen Colbert-san was correct about that. I am not allowed to practice in the snow anymore unless I somehow get clothes and shoes that are suited for this kind of weather. This presents something of a challenge because I do not have any money to buy snow clothes, but I cannot simply stop training either. I will have to think this over carefully.

Game plan

LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY kaname_chidori)

OK, residents of Dogwood! I'm sure by now you've all noticed that the power's out. On top of that, for some reason the climate has become less than tropical. I'm not really sure what the Island wants us to do . . . since it sure hasn't told us a heck of a lot, but I think we should put together some kind of game plan anyway! Since no one else seems to have come up with anything too useful, I took the liberty of putting together a few simp

EDIT: *Ahem*

A few simple ideas:

1) A few of us should go around to the empty cabins and gather as many blankets and things as we can.

2) Someone go to the kitchen and gather the biggest pots they can find. If you can find one big enoug

EDIT 2:

big enough to fit a person, even better. I'll explain later.

3) Two or three of us (I'm thinking Gon would be good on this one) go and gather pieces of wood. Get as much as you can carry and make sure it's dry.

4) Everyone gather as many stones as you can find. Smooth ones about the size of your hand are probably best, but see what you can find.

When all that's done, we'll meet back up in the cabin and I'll exp

Edit 3:

I'll explain everything in more detail. Sound good?

OK! Let's get going!

A setback in my training

2007-12-08T19:25:30Z

LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY beautifulgreen)

Gai-senesi, I think I have finally found something I do not like about my jumpsuit. It is not very good in snowy weather.

I was practicing in the training grounds like I do every day, but after thirty minutes the snow had soaked completely through my clothes. However, I could not allow something like being cold prevent me from progressing as a ninja! I kept training for another two hours before I could not continue. Now I think I may have developed a cold. My toes are freezing and have turned slightly blue, also.

When I returned to my cabin, I had to take off my jumpsuit and hang it next to my bed. It does not seem to be drying very quickly. I will have to stay here, wrapped in my blanket until it does. Then I think I might need to go to the infirmary. My little toe appears to be turning black.

Dear Internet Diary,

It seems like it’s been weeks since I’ve been stranded on this godforsaken tropical island. I have been confined to an area one might call a ‘small village’. I would call it more of a dirty park where you’d normally find bums and rats, however, I can’t leave it otherwise I’d find myself in the wilderness and I’m not the kind of girl who can just rough like that manly-girl Tenjou Utena!

I don’t know which is worse, being in a public hospital were my arrangements were right next to a corpse who I’m told is called Sousuke, or being stuck in this closet with a leak right over the foot of this plank I’m being forced to sleep on! This is no way to treat a celebrity of Ohtori Academy. If my brother saw me in this situation, he would surely save me and hold the persons at fault accountable!

There are other open shacks, why do I have to share one with the kid with a bad attitude, the fidgety little girl, spandex boy, the half dead corpse, Saionji, and the guy with the cat?

Today has to be the worst day yet! All the light switches and heaters stopped working and it is SNOWING out. I locked the other girls out of the toilettes so I could shower and there was NO HOT WATER!!! Someone must be trying to kill me again, that’s the only explanation. HA! Well I am Nanami Kiryuu and Nanami Kiryuu does not die easily! Whoever is trying to kill me has another thing coming to them. I have devised several plans to find out who it is and expose them to everyone as the crazy serial killer they are!

I must regretfully sign out now as I need to be fed before I can continue with my plans. I also need a jacket…

Hey, uh, anyone know where exactly I am? Last thing I remember was this chick named Monica and some really amazing hamburger joint and...
Aw crap, don't tell me this is some kind of prank? I don't have time for this!

The name's Dean and if anyone sees a black car around here, TELL ME. Also, anyone seen a really tall brown-haired guy? Got a big head to fit his freaky-ass giant brain? I need him back too cause otherwise he's probably going to go and get all mopey and skip his next four meals. (By the way Sammy, if you read this and you ARE, I will kick your ass. Just sayin'.)

So uh, snow. Normal for this place?

Would be just my luck that at the exact moment I drop that stupid foot from the crow's nest, a storm hits and I get shipwrecked. And then, as a piece de resistance, I fall into a bloody pond trying to get back. Then here we are, back to the wonderful years of youth.

When I find that foot I'm going to burn it.

No ghosts, no rabid animals running through the cafeteria at the wrong time, and the food is actually decent...

What a rip off! 50 doubloons! FIFTY! Fifty doubloons that guy charged me to fix the stupid piece of junk computer! I only had 45, so now I owe him "with interest!" I had to put up my watch as collateral! "How in the hell did you manage to blow it up?" he asks me! Like I did it on purpose! Who the hell blows up their own computer while they're using it on PURPOSE!?!? How the hell am I supposed to know why it blew up?! I was typing! You know, what the thing's made for? TYPING! And then he took a week to fix it. Said he had to order some of the parts. So there I was, singed, bandaged, and with no computer. Man that sucked. And I don't trust this thing! It's been acting weird ever since I got it back. I keep flinching every time it

Very good news!

Finally, after over two weeks of hard work, I have completed my training grounds! It is located just west of the tree house in the valley and I invite all of the Island's inhabitants to make use of it! It is important to keep up a strong training routine in order to maintain your strength and stamina! Ahiru-san, you are able to leave your cabin now, right? Perhaps you can teach me some of the "classical style" movements you mentioned earlier?

I also drew up a map so you can all find the training grounds easily!

At last I have completed my "gangster" costume. I think it has turned out quite well.

Do not worry. The mark on my forehead protector is not permanent. It is done with nail polish.

GONE! It's gone!! I know I left it on my desk last night and now it's no where!! WHO TOOK IT!?!? Who moved my rabbit's foot?!!?!

This week had been really great, you know? I'd found doubloons all over the place. The Dining Hall kept giving me all these really great meals. My costume was looking really awesome. I got Sousuke to go to the infirmary. It was like I could do no wrong! Well, I wake up this morning in a cold sweat and that damned rabbit's foot had disappeared!!

I am not usually a superstitious person. But as soon as I got up to start looking for the foot, my whole bed collapsed! On my way to breakfast, I fell down a hill I didn't even know was next to my cabin! My shoelaces broke. My eggs smelled rotten. And a MONKEY ran off with the coat for my costume!!

So whoever took it, GIVE IT BACK NOW!! I'm serious! It's not funny. It's not cute. I will freaking kill yYDRTFGGGHH@#$#

Mr. Ohtori, it would be proper of me to thank you for taking me to some exotic island, but I have a few questions I’d like to ask first. Where are you, and how far did you drive me from the Academy last night? I seem to have slept through the entire trip.

10:32 AM
Upon looking through the links on this computer, I have found that it connects directly to a community of people who are apparently on this Island. Mr. Ohtori? I don’t remember boarding an airplane.

It may be some sort of online dating community for everyone here, but I am not interested in anyone other than my prince, so this is simply a waste of time. I am very tired, so I will look around for the resort to get some beauty sleep, but after that, I must return to the Academy. I have a council and students to govern and parties to throw.

10:45 AM
Can anyone read this? I haven’t a cell phone to get a hold of anyone and there doesn’t seem to be anyone around. Where is the resort? Or the spa? Or even a hotel around here?

11:00 AM
Why would there be no resort on the beach? It’s very difficult to walk on the sand in heels! Resort Manager, please send someone to fetch me, you may add it to my bill, just send someone quickly. I shouldn’t have to trudge through sand when I’m on vacation!

11:05 AM
There are too many crabs and lobsters on your beach! They should be cramped together in an aquarium with their little claws clamped shut in your restaurant! They’ve been attacking me for some time now! Don’t think I won’t rate your resort down because of this!

11:30 AM
WHAT KIND OF RESORT IS THIS? This is completely absurd, another point dropped from your rating! Where is my ride? How dare you, do you know who I am?

11:47 AM
I’m sorry… someone please help me. NOW.

12:03 PM
Dear Internet Diary,

Let me review how my day has been so far.

It is has been four hours since I woke up with this atrocious headache and found myself on what I though was an exotic tropical island. There is still no sign of my new Armani yellow polka dot bikini. Why would I vacation on some secluded dump like this without a bikini anyway? And for that matter, why would I vacation without my beloved Brother?

What I have been able to find is filthy animals, filthy fish, filthy rocks filthy water and filthy trees! There is dirt. There is dirt smeared on my beautiful face. I’m sure it’s not good for my complexion. I need a mudpack, a shower, my shampoo and conditioner a massage, my makeup, a mirror, a change of clothes, some more comfortable shoes, a hair brush, maids, butlers, personal assistants and a toilet! Where do I find a toilet with flushing water around here? Someone like me can’t be expected to use one of those hideous outhouses I hear in passing from the commoners around school! My refined sense of smell couldn’t handle the stench, I’d pass out or die for sure!

Someone, please find me! I nearly sprained my ankle writing ‘HELP’ in the sand on the beach only to have a giant wave wash it away as soon as I finished. I have SEAWEED stuck in my hair and a lobster permanently attached to one of my sopping wet socks. I’m glad Big Brother can’t see me like this, he’d disown me for sure!

Oh, I must sign out for now, I think I might hear the cabana boy coming.
