[So Zelos has been back for about four days now...but he's been kinda putting off actually saying anything indicating he's back. Buuut he knows he can't run for it forever, so while he's hanging out on the roof, legs swinging over the edge, he'll flip open the journal and dictate in his rather cheerful and obnoxious way:]

Yo! Guess I should probably say I got back from the Dead Zone a few days ago - just sorta slipped my mind to leave word in the journal. But no need to worry, I'm all safe and sound from the adventure. Hope none of you lovely ladies were crying too hard about my absence! ♥

[What? No one said he had to be super NICE about it]

Anyway, the whole thing was pretty uneventful and aside from some weird tracks that disappeared after a half mile- not a whole lot to note. But hey, guess we can't make great discoveries every time we go out there huh? Oh well!

So good to be back! How's it been back at the castle? I can't say I was looking at the journal a whole lot.

You were gone?

[Hello friend she missed you <3]

[wilder]

[a melodramatic gasp]

Nooora! How could you not notice the lack of my glowing presence in your life for that long?!

Dictated forever

[huffythedragon]

ZELOS!!!! You're back! And your'e okay!! [He doesn't care he did miss you and he is glad you're back. NEVER LEAVE AGAIN]

Dictated forever

You missed the great rockslide that took out the lobby. Many statues and pretentious pieces of art perished.

It was a sad, sad day.

and ever

[wilder]

Heh heh, I said I would be didn't I?

forever

[wilder]

Oh wow, really? It's amazing you guys managed to recover from that!

[huffythedragon]

And you're okay, right? I mean, nothing bad happened?

[whichwayyoulean]

We pulled through. It was inspiring, really. Someone should write a screenplay about it and make it into one of those daytime mini-movies.

[wilder]

Annnnd you lost me. Man, usually it's Mark that pulls that one off this fast.

[wilder]

Probably not gonna crave a peach for awhile, but other than that I'm just fine, lil bro.

Dictated forever

[imalwaysright]

What do you mean by weird tracks?

and ever!

[wilder]

Wellll there was some horse tracks, and then some tracks that looked like a giant chicken.

[imalwaysright]

... What? Horse tracks? Totally normal. Those I can totally understand.

But a giant chicken? Where would those even come from? Are you sure it wasn't like an ostrich?

[wilder]

I don't know, what's an ostrich?

[imalwaysright]

A really big, flightless bird.

Are you from Earth? Probably not if you've never seen them before.

Anyway, that's the world they're native too.

Back to the tracks, you didn't see any paw prints, right?

[wilder]

Nope, not from there at all!

Paw prints? ..Other than ones from my wolf companion, not really.

[imalwaysright]

Figured. [And maybe he was going to ask where Zelos was from. But say 'wolf' and he's sidetracked.]

... Wolf companion? We have wolves here?

[wilder]

A couple, yeah.

[huffythedragon]

I'm really glad.

...What happened with the peaches?

[imalwaysright]

Normal wolves? [please say normal, please say normal, please say normal]

[whichwayyoulean]

You don't have daytime mini-movies in your world? Aunt Grizelda used to watch them all the time.

...They're pretty awful, actually. Don't try to find any, you'll regret it.

[ruin_mania]

How kind of you to inform your friends that you were leaving.

What sort of tracks?

[amiable]

[ STARES AT THIS ENTRY. NOT SURE IF SHE SHOULD SAY SOMETHING OR NOT. ]

[wilder]

Um...I think so? One's really smart though.

[imalwaysright]

Huh... alright. [So that's basically: Be on the lookout for wolves]

How smart is smart?
