Ugh...It looks like I came back just when vacation week is about to end...

...Ey? If you were wondering where I went to after so long, uh. I just...you know, just had to go somewhere! Yeah, that's right! Something urgent cropped up and I was dragged off my feet and I had to attend to it immediately. No worries, anyone! Stupid Cross.

It's nice to be finally back in the university...I think I'm heading for the canteen immediately after this, I'm starving! Vincent, would you like anything?

Oh yeah, there's a number of faces I haven't seen around before - nice to meet you all! It's nice to see a growing and vivacious community here. I'll be around anytime to help anyone, alright? Feel free to look for me!

Right, off to the canteen before my stomach complains too much...

Ah, ey...? It looks like I've been too busy again and left this unattended. I feel kind of bad for not helping much nowadays and not being around to do much but I can't help it but...yeah.

It's surprising to see a number of new faces. Or maybe they're new since I haven't been spending too much time on the campus. I had to stay off the campus for quite some time due to...financial issues and stuff. You know, stuff. But it's nice to meet you all! It's great to see more new faces everyday.

Oh, yes - I just noticed since I decided to come back for a short while that the roommates have been changed...? Nice to meet you, Vincent! I hope we get along fine, and...feel free to make use of the dorm, really - I might not be back for some time after this week, actually...

I miss everyone who were here last time...but I guess things change as time passes by. We can only stick to the friends we know for so long...and then you're alone. In the same way Cross left me here, well...

Speaking of that bastard master, part of the reason why I'm running around so much is just thanks to the collective debt from...the past 3 years or so? That doesn't even count the past 13 years or more! The number of people coming after me with just paper debts are nothing compared to those wielding all sorts of machinations.

If only life could ever be better...

[ooc: 'sup guys! I'm back...for only a week. It's the termly holiday here so I thought I'd pop by, drop some entries for my two characters and roleplay a bit while studying like a nutcase for the coming exams. Still on hiatus, but will play a bit since I can have a bit more spare time with not much school during the holidays yes I still have school during the holidays, what and it is awesome to see so many new faces ksljlakj <3 ]

...wait.

Lavi...Euphie, and Suzaku just left? Kanda also!?

Oh, crap.

Man, this is going to be one heck of a rollercoaster ride to settle...Suzaku just left a pile of stuff here! Euphie also! Lavi also! What made them think that I could finish all this-this mound of food now?!

[ooc: for your reference, food mound looks like this here.]

I found Timcampy! Thanks for the information, Tifa - and others as well who provided information. I found him rather quickly.

...but I lost my wallet. Again. It isn't the first time that this has happened, that some random...or very familiar stranger bumped into me and after that my wallet disappeared. Same old, master, same old. Thankfully I came up with the idea of...back-up wallets a long time ago, heh. Didn't have much money in it either, so it isn't too bad. Gotcha, old man.

I've recovered from the small bout of flu I got the other day. Thanks, everyone! It was great to know so many people cared...

Oh yes, I hope you don't mind a little advertisement here - but the bar I'm working at is facing a little bit of effects from the recent recession, so we're having special hours on certain days of the week like Tuesdays and Thursday for guests to pay a minimal fee and get free drinks for the night. Food served for those nights will be discounted too! So please, I hope more people do patronise us at bar 13! Aha.

For some reason, lately...I've not been able to eat as much as usual.

Normally, I'd have a plate of fried noodles with sausages, eggs with ham, stir-fried vegetables, some grilled chicken, tofu, mango pudding, several slices of watermelon and two bananas...but today I only had half of that.

That's weird. Anyway...

Did anyone see a flying yellow object, something that looks like a ball with wings...? It looks like Timcampy flew away while I wasn't watching, for another strange reason...

...wait, are these ominous signs that he's coming?

Oh, great. Why did I even think of that...

I saw the play! It was awesome - I think everyone performed well, haha! I've gone and gotten permission from the administration, so now we can have a party to celebrate the success of the play! Suzaku and I are in charge of this party. Anyone can come, so there's no need to be concerned if you were or were not involved in the play, alright? The details are as follows:

Location: Bar 11, Barker Street
Date: 25th April
Time: Starts at 6PM - you can leave whenever you like.
Dress code: Casual - nothing too revealing or over-the-top.
Cost: $2 (to help pay for catering and usage of the bar)

You're welcome to drop a note here so that we can cater accordingly to demand. Thank you very much - Suzaku and I hope to see you then!
( private; for Suzaku only )

ooc note: I've contacted the mods regarding this, and hence a log will go up on...Saturday night, GMT +8 (my time, I'm afraid) and you're welcome to join from there. I hope you have fun~

There's been a sudden drop in customers to the bar recently. That means a lower paycheck and all...sigh.

Master dropped by the other day, I think - I saw his familiar red hair and Timcampy flying around. He didn't look for me, rather, he was speaking to someone else instead...I wonder who? It's not like he could possibly know anyone he - wait. Anything's possible for him. Ugh.

I really miss traveling with him though.

Anyway! The poker game was fun - let's do another one sometime in the future, guys. Maybe as a game at the after-play party! Yeah, something like that...

...I think I'll go laze around or something. There isn't much to do...

Building the set has been relatively fine. Between cramming for studies, working on the set for the play, eating and sleeping - well, it's tough, but I've been through worse. I could use some time to relax...

Hey, Tyki! Are you free for a game of poker anytime soon? I could use some...brushing up in my skills - I haven't played in ages. Lavi, why don't you join us? ...Maybe you could bring that grumpy old guy along. Suzaku, too!

...Or, wait. How about a party after the play? I'm sure people would like one, after working so hard...Anyone up for it? It'll...be uplifting.

( private; 70% unhackable )

Ah, congrats to those who have gotten the roles they wanted! I'm sure all of you will do fine. And for those who didn't...well, better luck next time? I'm sure there's a play every year or so...cheer up!

I'm signing up to help build the set. I think that's where people might need the most help, seeing that many people are busy with the acting. It...might be fun to work out a little, I guess. I just hope it doesn't affect my studies too much.

( private; 50% hackable )

Lately the campus seems to be much quieter - there hasn't been much fights/quarrels/strange noises at all. Which is good - now I can get much more sleep!

Really, I don't know why, but lately I've been simply thinking of...sleeping. Too often, maybe. I think I should go see a doctor soon...

Oh yes, Rita - it was pleasant, chatting over tea. I'll...bring over some pies or something to munch on next time - it's only right to share! We can always chat somemore whenever you like, hey.

The finals...were decent, to say in the least. At least I managed to cram some studying in between my job and sleep...

Oh yes. Have an early Merry Christmas notice, everyone! I...won't be around much tomorrow as I'll be working overtime at the bar, even if it is my birthday and Christmas. Oh yeah - Misa we seem to have the same birthday! So...yeah, happy birthday to you in advance!

I think I bought something for everyone at least - whoever you are, check your mailboxes. It's just a small token.

( private;viewable by close friends only )

[ooc: Allen bought something for every single person on campus - a little keychain animal. Each person's animal can vary to what they like, haha.]

Thanksgiving was awesome - the dinner was rather filling, aha! Seems like Christmas is going to be decent this year...I hope not many of you fall sick during this season - it would be a great pity. I...also hope it won't be so noisy in the dorms as well too often now - it is the season...for almost anything.

( private; 50% hackable )

Well, it seems like the time of the year has come again. The bar's been busy putting up decorations and music to get into the Christmas spirit, like the many other shops along the street. It's nice to know that there are sales at many of the shops - I can buy much more stuff at cheaper prices than usual. It helps that some of them owe me a poker debt now. The campus has been more peaceful lately - I hope that it won't be too noisy on Christmas as it's the season...to do a lot of things. A-Anyway! I'll be off to work again, aha...

I'm glad that some of the assignments now aren't as hard as before - maybe I've adapted to studying already. Thanksgiving is coming soon as well - that means turkey dinners!

( private; easily hackable )

Ah - I've been so busy I kind of forgot about this journal here...Well, it looks like not much changed. How is everyone? I didn't get to go to the Halloween party - sorry, Misa! - because I was suddenly held back by a bunch of thugs by something going on. The bar's been pretty busy lately as well; we've been preparing for the winter holidays.

Does anyone need my help, in any case? Even if all seems fine...yeah, well, I'd like to do something. I'll be around.

Do take care not to over-gorge during this season, everyone! Ahaha...

[ooc: lulz the irony of the last line. strikes hackable if close friend of Allen.]

I passed Law! I was kind of afraid I wouldn't after all the juggle of jobs and studies - but it worked out!

Now I can focus on earning some more money for the break and doing more jobs, ahaha. If anyone needs me I'll be around! The situation has...calmed down, which is great. Less worries, less worries...

Oh yes - hope you enjoyed your birthday, Euphie!

[ooc: now I oughta ruuun.]

Man, the mid-terms are here and gone. This sucks - it's not very nice when that rumor about no one being able to pass Law sounds like it's definitely going to come true... Luckily the bar owner is kind enough - he let me take a break to study.

This week has been filled with many ups and downs - though...mostly downs. Glad to meet you, Rita! It was interesting, talking to you. One of the rare good things that happened this week...

The week's been bad, other than that meeting. M-Master sent a debt notification... My salary's going to go elsewhere, now... I definitely have to pay that debt before it swells up to disastrous levels. Now the campus feels so...tense and dark because of that quarrel...My left eye hurts for no reason, ugh.

( filtered to Euphie/Suzaku; )

( filtered to Sunstreaker; )

Gosh, I'm tired. The bar's been quite occupied, recently - that means more tips for me - so yeah, it's getting hard to multi-task between the job and studies. I don't think I'll quit the job, though; it pays too well. I'll just have to learn to manage time more efficiently... The professor doesn't slacken one bit, which is tough, but overcoming challenges are important.

Oh yeah - I've been hearing quite a racket in the dorms lately - why are people making so much noise at strange times? Maybe it's just me, but...it isn't very nice to be awakened by the sound of things crashing on the floor, the loud chattering of people or even the noise people are making when they make lo- okay, forget I ever said that last line. The gist of the idea is there. Maybe soundproofing the room would work, but it would cost a bomb! Crap.

In any case, Master has really not contacted me for so long! I'm...glad, but still - this means that he either got into trouble again, or is just accumulating debts payments loans issues for me to handle soon enough. Guess I'll have to prepare soon enough...

Hope everyone's doing fine, in any case - been seeing plenty of new additions to the network! I'll be around if anyone needs my help.

[ooc: strikes hackable.]

The new schedule's taken me a little by surprise - has it been so fast? I didn't expect that the term would go by so quickly. But I'm glad I'm passing my subjects, at least. Criminology's pretty hard to pass - Professor Edgeworth marks them strictly. But I suppose it's...alright, since it's quite a serious topic. As long as I don't fail.

The cafeteria food hasn't disappointed me yet! I'm pretty glad that Master hasn't contacted me for so long - it means...well, less troubles. Anyway, how goes your job, Kadaj? The last time we talked you were mentioning those problems you had...

I hope everyone had fun at the recent dinner - I enjoyed myself very much, getting to know all of you. Oh yes, Haruhi - I hope you got to eat the ootoro at last.

( filtered to Lavi; )

M-master sent me another debt notification again... Right when I'm about to get my first paycheck! Hmph. I'm not going to pay for it this time, ugh.

It seems that everyone is pretty fine. There aren't many problems occuring about the campus and everyone's mostly happy going about their businesses. There are some people who are sick...but well, some refuse help. Can't do much. Sunstreaker, you really ought to go see a dotor soon, or something. I...doubt the aspirin's going to last long.

It's been a rather quick month - it's already ending as I write this! My paycheck's going to come in a matter of hours, so that means that the trip to the ootoro restaurant is coming, yes! Haruhi, if you don't mind, I'd like to invite some friends over as well? Since everyone's been so nice and all to me. Except that feminine face. I suppose we'll go on Wednesday night, if that's okay with everyone. The owner of the restaurant has kindly let me have a 50% discount as well! So, yeah, it won't be too expensive, in any case. Good thing I won that poker game against the owner. Euphie, Suzaku, Lavi, Kanda, Haruhi, Luke, Genesis, Selphie, hmmm, I guess anyone who's free can come down to grab a bite. It's my first paycheck, so I'd like to thank everyone for being so welcoming. You can ask others to come too - it'll be something like a gathering for the campus students? It'll be fun to meet everyone. The place is in the town, about a short distance away from the bar I work at.

So yeah, if you're coming, just drop a reply or something here? It'll help me estimate how much I'd need to pay for everyone, and even if you're intending to pay for yourself, it would be nice to know who's coming and all.

[ooc: why yes, I'll...probably do an open log, methinks. Maaaybe. :') EDIT: and strikes are barely hackable/legible.]

Well, working part time in a bar sure has it's ups and downs. For one thing, the number of people who actually vomit are much more lesser compared to other places I've been to - but really, it's awfully busy and tiring. It's interesting to hear each of their stories as they...moan their way through? 

But yeah, at least it gives me some time to look around the town as well! Haruhi - I think I've found somewhere with what you might be looking for, ootoro, am I right? I can pass you the address or go down there with you; I'd like to eat there as well when my pay comes in next week! How about it?

Everyone seems to be having a heck load of fun with the rush week - it was interesting to see all of the participants dressing up! Suzaku's set looked really realistic, while Lavi's was just right about there. Euphie looked rather pretty too! Ahaha, the place's been wonderful so far. Even if Luke feels it isn't that awesome yet... But well... certain grumpy individuals sure piss me off, especially that...feminine face one guy. Sheesh, being nice sometimes doesn't work. 

I'll be around, if anyone needs me. Luke? I don't mind taking up your job offer - but only on weekends?  

filtered to Lavi;
Lavi, if, well...your roommate is being a threat to you - and if Suzaku doesn't mind - you can come stay over sometimes too, if you need to. It's not really nice of your roommate to keep kicking you out like that...you really like angering him a lot, don't you? I get that sort of vibe.
