twenty two ► tomorrow never knows

I'm not sure where this feast thing came from, but I can't complain about free food.

[SOME PEOPLE NEVER CHANGE. The journal picks up the sound of scraping in the background; he's carving something out of wood.]

So... Some people make a list of things they want to get done in the next year. Resolutions, or whatever. Does anyone have anything interesting? I can never think of what to put down.

Must be that quick wit of yours.

dictated;

[gentleidealist]

Ugh. I bet your resolutions start and end with 'be terrible'.

dictated;

[ofhope]

Now, when have I been terrible?

[ Excluding making fun of Lloyd... Which is a given. ]

dictated;

[gentleidealist]

[LOL]

I don't know, but I'm sure it's happened. I bet you eat the frosting off people's cakes when they aren't looking.

dictated;

[ofhope]

[ Hur, that makes him laugh. ]

People probably shouldn't turn their backs on cake, then.

dictated;

[gentleidealist]

Yeah, well--

[... He can't argue that.]

Sometimes I want to break into the cake too, but you usually have to wait for the birthday candles and stuff.

[IS THIS WHAT HE'S REALLY ARGUING ABOUT....]

dictated;

[ofhope]

You'll just burn yourself that way.

[ Dumbass. You're a horrible cake thief. ]

dictated;

[gentleidealist]

... On the candles?

[WHAT]

dictated;

[ofhope]

What else?

dictated;

[gentleidealist]

I'd blow out the candles before eating it. Obviously.

[Goddamn cakelicker.]

dictated;

[ofhope]

I can never tell what might be obvious to you. You're a little slow...

dictated;

[gentleidealist]

No, I'm not.

[omg are they five]

dictated;

[ofhope]

[ That's probably what Colette thinks by now. ]

You definitely are! You don't even know what it is you're holding grudges over.

dictated;

[gentleidealist]

[He was actually told that Joshua chased Colette all the way out into the Dead Zone for a while, and he's got demon horns and shit.

Luckily, Lloyd keeps his mouth shut about what he knows.]

You're creepy, that's what. You've been creepy since the first time we spoke, and you're still creepy.

dictated;

[ofhope]

[ He actually kind of figured that a long time ago, anyway, he just doesn't see why it should be a problem for him when both Colette and Joshua seem to be over it.

Mostly. ]

I think it would make Colette sad to hear you call me such a thing.

dictated;

[gentleidealist]

[Lloyd is a jealous little fucker occasionally. He spites Joshua because he doesn't like Colette having creepy evil friends. While inwardly wishing he could help.

#SHOUNENLIFE]

Don't you have any other friends besides Colette?

dictated;

[ofhope]

[ Ummmmmmmmm.








Crickets.






No wait.





No wait wait he can't say Lucrezia, her brother might see and then she'll shut the window on his face next time he visits. ]

They all left.

dictated;

[gentleidealist]

[... Now he feels kind of bad, actually.]

Well... if you want friends, it'll help if you stop talking about Colette like she's only your friend.

dictated;

[ofhope]

And it might help if you stop treating me like I'm not her friend.

[ Never said he wanted more, though. People are effing stupid. ]

dictated;

[gentleidealist]

[So that's how it's gonna be, huh.]

...

Fine. But if you want to hug and make up, that's just not gonna happen.

dictated;

[ofhope]

That would take all the fun out of it.

dictated

[save_the_souls]

A feast would be nice...but there seems to be people acting strangely ever since talk started about it.

dictated;

[gentleidealist]

... Yeah, but I figured it was just the castle being weird again. I didn't want to say something wrong. You know, in case it was just a curse thing.

dictated;

[save_the_souls]

I suppose that's true, but...it'd be nice if one didn't try to mug me.

dictated;

[gentleidealist]

[WHAT]

-- What?! Are you okay?

dictated;

[save_the_souls]

Oh- I'm fine! She wouldn't believe me when I said it was a bad idea to try with me, unfortunately.

dictated; JACKITY JACK JACK

[ofhope]

[ If this were in person Joshua would definitely be shoving Lloyd out of the way.

But the journal just makes everything easier! Maybe he shouldn't sound so excited about his question. ]

Did you kill the mugger?

dictated; YOU JACKER!!

[save_the_souls]

[oh hey Joshua stop sounding so excited]

No, I incapacitated them.

THE WORST KIND, THE FICKLE JACKER

[ofhope]

[ Oh lame and boring story, it sounds like. Okay all yours, Lloyd. ]

dictated;

[gentleidealist]

I've already seen what happens when people get between you and food. I can't imagine mugging you is pretty, either.

dictated;

[save_the_souls]

[a small laugh]

She's all right, I promise.

dictated;

[gentleidealist]

[A snort.]

Did she apologize?

dictated;

[save_the_souls]

Not yet. But I'm sure she will once she's back to normally. Normally she's a very good person.

[ruin_mania]

I'd like to learn a new language and explore some place there's no record of.

[gentleidealist]

... I don't know what I was expecting.

[ruin_mania]

Come now, it's a perfectly good resolution. You're supposed to think of something new to do, isn't that right?

[gentleidealist]

Yeah, but, don't you do that every year?

[ruin_mania]

Oh, well, I do try. But then, I like to think I live a very fulfilling life!
