Oh my dear Chuck Apparently in ten years time? This is going to be me.

( I'll just be over here, facepalming. )

I GOT A GINGERBREAD HOUSE!!!!!

I'd ask if this is the afterlife, but somehow, I really don't think it is.

IT'S SNOWING!!!!!

I dreamed there was snow and I just looked outside and there's really real snow outside! Really!

Finally.

Daddy, can we please get a puppy?

Today is Father's Day, wish my sons were here, but grateful to have my daughter. Claire, any plans?

Fascinating. Here I thought this was just a dream in a sea of thoughts that didn't make any sense.

Man, I'm bored. But hey at least I have work to look forward to. I'm actually really enjoy working in the pie shop, Claire is an amazing boss, but it saddens me about Willow working in the magic shop was really fun, may she R.I.P. But this place is really not looking all that bad, except that I went to find my mother and she wasn't there. Anybody know where she went to?

Private to Leo (dad):
Hey there, I was wondering. There's a baseball game on tomorrow night and was wondering if you wanted to watch it. A little father/daughter time we always squeeze in for a good baseball game?

Taking up the pie shop was the best thing I've ever done. At first I didn't think I could do it. I just took a step froward and fell into it. It's a lot harder than waitressing, which isn't surprising. It's a business I have to run. Still it's great. I didn't think I would like it as much as I do. You know the best thing about working at a pie shop. The smell, it's sweet and warm. I really don't mind smelling like pie. It's a much better smell the burgers and fries. That and I haven't met any extreme annoying customers.

By the way, thanks Claire. I love it. There's a strawberry crème pie with your name on it when you feel like stopping by.

[Voice Post (Accidental)]

Can't ... No. Be quiet! No time. [several painful coughs, followed by a series of rapid, shallow breaths] Aizen. Too much like Aizen. I can stop her.

[sound of a sword unsheathed] Waves, rise now. Become my shield. [pause]

NO! You can't. You can't defy me. I'm a captain. I have to stop her! Bankai. Our bankai can stop her.

Lightning, strike now. Become my blade! [something is thrown and glances off a wall with a sharp clang] Listen to me!

[strained whimper] Shunsui ... Where is Shunsui? We're frightened. Shunsui! You're supposed to be here! It hurts ... You're supposed to be here when it hurts ...

[ There is the sound of someone breathing heavily, close to the PDA, and the distant sound of someone else muttering unintelligibly in the background. When Claire speaks, her voice is hoarse and she's clearly upset. ]

H-Help! Someone! Courtyard. NOW!

[ There is a brief pause and you can hear Claire's voice, this time muffled, speaking to someone else. ]

It'll be okay. Just stay calm, okay? I know there's blood but it's not yours. See? I'm fine too. I p-promise.

[ Her voice is more pronounced again, clearly she's speaking, well more like shrieking, into the PDA once more. ]

GLORY WAS HERE AND I NEED SOME HELP. SOMEONE! ANYONE!

[ A little more shuffling, Claire is speaking in hushed tones to someone else again. ]

Lily, it's okay! I'm right here. Someone is coming, okay? Just... just... [ There's a soft sob of fear and frustration before the line goes silent. ]

[ooc: takes place an hour or so after this]

Well, I can finally quit looking for jobs. I was offered a job at two places and I accepted them both. I am really excited, along with taking night classes at the college I will be really busy. But distractions would be nice at times if anyone wants to come over and hang out.

private to Piper (mom)
Would you want to do something sometime?

Okay so job hunting, going pretty well. I applied for some jobs at the mall, but I'm not so sure that I want to be a "mall worker". I want something that I'll enjoy, like a magic store. Also I've decided that I'm going to enroll in some classes at the college that I spotted. I was already in college back home, why not continue my education here. I think I can get used to this place, now if I can just find a job so I can decorate my apartment, it is a little blank.

Each morning since I've been here, I've woken up and prayed that this was not a dream. This will take some getting used to, but it sure beats being dead. And maybe I was put here to help make a difference. I like to have a purpose, it's part of who I am.

$30 in groceries.
$10 lunch.
$7 hair dye.
Going back to blonde, priceless.

Now all I need to do is find a job. There's no way I'm going to survive with fifty three dollars left in the bank. I was a pretty good waitress, might just go back to that.

(Claire W.)

We're identical now. I just really miss being blonde. I hated going brunette but it helped me hide.

What the hell?

Andy?

Why won't anyone tell me what's going on? I got the kidnapped part. Everyone just ignores me when I ask them something.
