Hey, guys! Is everyone doing okay? It's Sora and I'm stuck with Axel (the one from my world) and we've got candy corn. This note thing says M&Ms are the voice's favourite candy, so I was wondering if anyone had themnbvm;lkopijawoieja;kn;lvc

( flashback! )

I think I just realized, with so many people disappearing (back home? in limbo? in some other world like this? dea) that... one of the worst things I can imagine right now would be being trapped in this room all by yourself.

So, I guess I just wanted to say that I, for one, am really glad you're here with me, and that we're all together. Because whatever happens, it's way better than going through it alone, isn't it?

In less than a month, I'll have been in this same room for a year. (Ha, it's nothing compared to Matt and Axel.)

I keep wondering why all the people I've seen and met and talked to over time have mostly disappeared, and why just a few of us got to stay. Matt said it's because we're amusing or something, which might be true knowing the Voice and everything, but...

I've been reading back on this journal, since I keep forgetting to use it so I have no idea what I last talked about, and I can't believe the last time I was all "wow I've been here for THIS LONG" was back in February. I guess I was right when I said a full year would go by before I knew it.

So if anyone's paying attention to this thing, how much do you think you've changed? Since I'm pretty sure everyone here has in some way, for sure. Are you happy with who you are now? D'you regret anything enough to go back and change it, if you could? And anything else you can think of. I'm just kinda curious. And waiting for this turkey to finish roasting.

... yeah, I know it's almost 6 in the morning. Shh.

( PRIVATE; 100% unhackable )

Who here has managed to wish for their tent? I've been trying to get the elephant back, but either the room still hates me or it's just ignoring me, because nothing's working.

It's all right, though! I don't mind sleeping out in the open. It kind of takes me waaay back, before Christmas, when that's basically what I did. Good thing the couches are comfy, at least! (Of course, it probably helps that I have the best pillow in the world. ♥)

Hmm. I feel like having a party. No idea why.

-- the elephant! Wait, all the tents are gone too, aren't they?

And wow, with being out in the open... there are a lot more people here than I could've guessed. There's gotta be almost two hundred of us or something.

Hmm, I wonder why the room would force everyone out like this. That just seems really mean, even for it.

So does anyone have any idea what's going on?

Last night was... interesting.

... Right.

I've been keeping an eye out and apparently a lot of new people have been coming in, so if anyone's reading this, hey guys! I'm Sora. There are... six of me (I think?? I don't really know anymore!), so you might get confused, but I'm a ninja, and from Konoha, and I live in the giant wooden elephant off to the side from the... couch area and stuff. Nice to meet you, and welcome to the room! It's not as bad as a lot of people say it is, really. Just, um, try not to get it mad? Yeah.

-- HEY SORA! We've gotta meet up sometime to work on that comic, remember? I've already thought up this great idea, involving everyone in the room. But we should talk about it! Uh, later today I should be in the kitchen. If you're not busy, we should meet up there?

Annnd, Kairi? Riku? What would you guys think about spending about a week camped out in the ninja training box from tomorrow on? Like old times! I think it'd be fun. ♥

Hmm. It's still sort of weird trying to get used to having my body back after all this time, but I'm really glad Larxene doesn't have it anymore but I'm glad that whole thing's over and done with.

Even if having a cat tail was pretty cool.

Is it not a good sign that I'm finding it... not actually so bad?

I mean, being petted I felt like I could sleep forever I wonder what it feels like to have my tail stro

... So hey, Sasuke? You can definitely count on me to take good care of your body until we turn back! I promise.


[ooc; hahaha meet Sorasuke. strikes are visible! also I love this icon dfgsfg ♥]

This time, I'm keeping my promises.

I won't forgive myself if I don't.

Riku... whatever happens, I'm sorry.


[comments "screened." so... threads should be automatically private. <3]

That said, I think I'm gonna try using my journal more than I have been, 'cause putting everything that's happened lately in one post is hard. I've probably forgotten about a thousand things I've been meaning to write down so I can remember them later on... oh well.

1. ♥

2. Kairi's here! This is obviously really really awesome. The weird thing is that... well, apparently, I never left home for her. So there's another me out there somewhere -- not just another Sora, but another me-Sora. I probably shouldn't be too surprised, but it's just... strange to think about, I guess? I mean, at first there were different worlds, like the place Matt's from, and then there were different dimensions, like where all the other ninjas are from, and then different times, like for Obi and Naruto, and now... yeah, I'm just going to stop thinking about it. Anyway, I've said this everywhere but here, so: HEY KAIRIIII. I MISSED YOU.

3. Does... has anyone seen Roxas? My -- the Roxas from my world. I haven't in a while, and I keep getting this feeling like I failed again he isn't. I think I might go have a look around the room, if he's just hiding his chakra for some reason.

4. I'm glad it's been so quiet recently. (I mean, quieter than it could be, that is.) You know what I realized? Obi, even though we're game masters, we totally haven't been using the ninja box. We should go check it out later! I've been meaning to show it to Kairi, too.

5. ...Is it just me, or is that music I hear outside sort of like the music we heard in the ninja strip club? Right. Not leaving the elephant. Got it.


[strike harder to hack the closer you are to him. therefore, v. easy for strangers. it b tricky, y.]

( Personality Test thing? )

Uh. Not... entirely sure what to think about that. ...50% elitist? What does 'pragmatic' mean?

But anyway, I just realized this is my 30th post, annnd it's been, let's see -- one, two, three... four months and eight days since I came here! Four months and eight days.

You know, it seems kinda strange that it's been so long, but at the same time, it's hard to believe it hasn't been longer. I don't know. I mean, in a couple of months I'll be sixteen (unless the dates on these things are completely off), and then before you know it we'll have been here for a full year, then two, then... How does aging work, anyway? D'you think we'll finally die for good when we get old enough, or will the room keep bringing us back exactly like we were before so we don't have a chance to? Are we immortal and doomed to stay trapped in a big brick creepy room for the rest of eternity until the universe spontaneously combusts and the fragments of space and time are ripped apart until there's nothing left but a hollow shape representing what was and will never ever be again?

...Okay, getting just a little bit depressing there, Sora. New topic, new topic...

Oh! I can't decide what I should try learning to play next. I think I'm doing pretty good on the violin, but bagpipes are so cool. And drums look really fun, too. Ideas?

edit: ( I, uh. Didn't mean to start a trend? Oh well. )

If anyone's been wondering where Obito's been lately? Well. Long story short, he's stuck in me. And he can't get out.

Yeaaah. Uh, if you have any ideas on how or why it's happening, you'll have figured out a lot more than we have. All we've really learned so far is that we can switch -- which is good, since I really feel bad that I'm always the one in control. I mean, it's only fair for Obi to get a chance, too, right?

Jeez, and there was me thinking that what happened to us was awkward, Riku.

...And this is kind of a weird thing to ask, but if there's a chance anyone ends up finding Obito's body lying around somewhere, please let us know? Thanks.

Oh! Also, I guess since we can't really post on his journal, I'm going to give Obi some time to write something here now so you guys might feel less worried. Here:

Uh, yeah so Sora pretty much explained what's happening, so if anyone wants to talk to me, I guess you should find Sora and... ask him to switch? Man, I am still finding the whole situation really weird.. I don’t think it'll ever stop being weird.

I'm alright though! Nobody should worry~! Its not so bad, really. I mean, I've had a lot of time to think about things I needed to think about, and Sora’s keeping me company anyways, so it's all good! So yeah, don’t worry! That means you Obito! <3

I'm sorry I’m not around anymore, Rin-chan. I wanted to show you around.. but I guess the other Obito can do that too! And.. I'm sorry to Sakura-chan and Naruto.. I guess I haven't been very.. attentive recently. I want to talk to you guys when I get out of this situation, alright? I think I'll come find you.. it'll be easier that way.

And Kakashi, if you say anything about this, I swear I’ll.. do something.



[for sora; small strike strictly visible to canon riku. for obi; first big strike visible, second small strike hard to hack by... obi-standards~]

Ha, this thing's getting dusty. It fell off my night stand for no reason at all and hit me in the face (yeaaah, I was on the floor. don't ask.) just now, so I figured it probably wants... attention, or something. I wonder if it's alive. It doesn't make sense, but when you think about it, it'd be kind of interesting, wouldn't it? Maybe a bunch of people were kidnapped by the room a while ago and their spirits were taken and put into these journals and we're supposed to unlock them somehow, in order to free the spirits and -- ahaa, maybe these are where the creepy voices come from! it'd make sense, sort of! it forces us to do stuff and maybe there's a reason. like we're supposed to find hints in all the things we've -- ...

...I'm probably talking crazy, aren't I. conspirational theories and Sora don't mix well together when Sora woke up five minutes ago, maybe.

uhh. So I guess this is where I recap my life since my last post, huh? Okay, well, I was on a mission back in my world before I came back here. It was a pretty easy escort job to the Land of Snow, but then it turned out the person we were escorting wasn't actually the person we were supposed to be escorting and uh, it got kind of messy when these huge guys jumped out of a snowbank and attacked. We actually managed pretty well, for a Genin team! I think. I don't really know what happened, because I mean, one second I was dodging a Suiryuudan and the next I was sitting on top of my elephant and it was back to daily room life.

I've... been trying to reach Riku, to see if he's back home and okay, but I just checked and I think his journal's disappeared. That doesn't even happen when someone's died and hanging out somewhere to be brought back. But, he's gotta be okay. I'm positive he is, no matter what's happened. Though the timing sort of totally sucks, since I think I was starting to feel like a best friend again. A real best friend, you know? It's... it was nice. I haven't felt like that in a while.

[VOICE POST]

Wow, this is still connected?

...Guess I shouldn't be surprised, really.

But uh, anyway. Stuff's happened. I can't really say much about it right now -- waiting for ramen! -- but... it looks like it's possible to die and come back. I think the room still holds power over us, even back in our homeworlds. It kind of makes me wonder exactly how powerful they've gotta be. In control of space, time, all dimensions and worlds across the universe... sheesh.

Hey Riku? We should probably talk and figure out what we're going to tell people. Selphie is pretty much still planning our wedding, even if I don't remember getting... engaged in the first place. Uhh. Yeah, and anyway, Tidus and Wakka have been bugging me all morning about where we've been. I haven't come across Leon-sensei yet. This is probably a good thing for my physical well-being, though I kind of missed him. Man, there's probably a ton of stuff to catch up on here, huh? Especially training... but you know, for once, I don't think I'm complaining.

[ clinkclink. snap. ]

Ramen's ready! See you guys later~.

( Meme things~ )

So... how 'bout that weather? Pretty crazy, huh?

Hi.

Congratulations, you've just met the happiest person in all universes and worlds and dimensions ever.

Ever.

Happy New Year's Eve, everyone!

I'm up really early because I wanted to do something special for tonight. I wonder if the room's got something planned, though. It usually does for holidays and stuff, right? Hmm.

Hey, Riku. Whenever you get up, you're going to help me frost this cake, okay? And I have something to ask you, too.

Edit: Ahahah, sorry to everyone who woke up covered in honey. I hope it wasn't that hard to get off? Anyway, it's good for your skin! (Or something. I swear I read that somewhere.)

Edit2: And I didn't do it. No, really!

Edit3: ...nobody's going to believe me, are they. uhh, I'll be... over here... then.

Edit4: Sora, promise me you'll kill me if they feel like torture? Please?

[ooc; though Roxas totally did the honey part, it was agreed by everyone that Sora deserves to take the blame. and no, he's not going to rat him out, either. SO FEEL FREE TO ASSUME~. ♥]

So, I had a great Christmas! Really great, actually. Awesome, even.

Apart from the whole drunk thing. Uh.

...And also the fact that I'm now stuck in a quinzee with Riku, Obito, and lion-Roxas.
