Jun. 21st, 2010 04:11 pmI should have expected it. Not even a note this time. At least it wasn't so bad
Kazuma, I haven't heard anything from you which is a bit unusual, given how loud you are. Are you and Cougar still here?
I will be training with my Alter today in the woods if anyone would like to join me. I wish to see if the limits imposed by our captors still remain the same.

[There seem to be several failed attempts at writing, all scratched out almost beyond deciphering.]
At least they're here now. Duo is exceedingly protective of Sheik, and I do not wish to provoke him, as that may end with one or both of us injured. Both should receive medical attention but I do not believe anyone can get close enough.
[The journal switches to voice]
Kazuma, are you still speaking gibberish or are you coherent now? Is Cougar with you?
[Ryuhou is sitting by the fountain, practicing the petit perception visual training that Leto had begun to teach him. He concentrates on various people as they go about their daily lives and conversations, trying to pick up on subtle visual cues.]
[...of course, the thought bubbles above nearly everyone's heads keep throwing him off. Finally he sighs and breaks his concentration, looking up at the sky.]
At least I'm trying. Maybe I'll go see him later. [Ryuhou's thoughts switch from text to an image of shirtless Leto before he quickly tries to think of something else. His Alter. Sparring with Kazuma. Sparring with Leto. Leto shirtless again.] Oh hell. [He focuses hard and manages to visualize his workout kata, picturing himself going through the motions.]

Apr. 6th, 2010 11:34 pmIt is always difficult to catch up on events in this place after being... away. I was secluded for some time as my powers were out of control, then taken by the Malnosso for over a week. It seems that there were murders and an investigation into them, though I have not heard if the murderers were brought to justice. Have we all degenerated to such a state that murder has no real consequence? Even if death has no true meaning here, we still have laws.
I have become complacent. At home, I was an enforcer of law and justice, and I should be pursuing the same course here. I am aware that several groups exist for this purpose, and I wish to find a way to assist or join. I have heard the names Blue Rogues or White Lotus... I would appreciate it if either the leaders or officials of these would contact me with requirements or duties for members.
If I am not suitable for these, then... I will pursue justice my own way, as I was doing more recently back on the Lost Ground.

Mar. 31st, 2010 11:33 pm[Ryuhou is back in the town square, though in considerably better shape than last time. He sits next to the fountain and looks at his hands, watching Alter light flicker over his fingers.]
Whatever they did, they seem to have fixed it. I don't know what the point of that was, other than to prove that they can control my Alter. Anyone else with... abilities, have the Malnosso ever affected them?

Mallynapped again
Mar. 24th, 2010 03:19 pm[Anyone who comes to the cave looking for Ryuhou will find the entrance mostly collapsed, and large holes seemingly carved into the sides of the bare rock. The cave is unstable and may likely collapse further if anyone tries to go in. There has obviously been a struggle here.
Luckily (or unluckily), Ryuhou is no longer there, having been taken again by the Malnosso. Perhaps they'll fix what they did to him...]

I'll be staying out in the cave where Leto used to live for awhile longer, I think. Whatever the Malnosso did to me, it's set control of my Alter back to less than what I had even as a child. If I stay very calm and don't exert myself, I can manage not to... destroy things around me, but it is difficult to even maintain that level.
It seems to be easier to keep control with Kazuma around;though I am usually far from calm around him, perhaps it is the effect of another Alter-user being in the vicinity. Kazuma, I suppose I am in your debt.
I have to request that anyone else stay away from here, though. I cannot be sure of my power at the moment, and I do not wish to accidentally harm anyone. Duo, this means you. Are you well?
[Private, about 30% hackable to those he knows]
It is... difficult, being here. He did not leave much behind, but I am still reminded of our time together. I wish that I had gone somewhere else. Staying... calm is not the easiest task.

[Action] - Back home!
Feb. 26th, 2010 09:35 pm[Ryuhou stumbles into the town square, ignoring the... frills decorating the place and the revelers around the fountain. He looks dirty and his clothes are torn, but more than that, his brow is furrowed in concentration.]
I... I can't...
[A flicker of kaleidoscope light rushes over his body, and a small tree explodes into dust, a small crystal falling to the ground in its place.]
[OOC: Unaffected by event due to Mallynapping, btw.]

[This gray, snowy day finds Ryuhou sitting out on his porch step, a note held in his hands. His eyes scan over the words several times as though he can't believe them.
Finally, he stands, crumpling the paper in his fist, stalking toward the edge of town. He doesn't seem to notice the cold as the wind whips his thin uniform jacket around him.]
I want to... hit something. That's more Kazuma's style, but now I understand why. I'm going to explode if I don't.

Dec. 26th, 2009 11:33 pmLeto, Duo, Hijiri. I have gifts for you. Not much, really, just little things.
...Kazuma, I have something for you too.

Nov. 22nd, 2009 01:55 amI hope most of you realize by now that this invitation to return home is most likely a trap. If it is not, it may be an experiment to see how we'll react when presented with the opportunity to leave this place.
However, I admit the offer is tempting. The possible benefit may outweigh the risk. It is worth considering... though that is probably what they want us to think. I have to keep thinking it's a trap.

Nov. 19th, 2009 01:16 am[Private, 50% hackable]
I wondered how long it would take before the Malnosso brought someone else from my world. I had hoped they would be satisfied with me alone, but it seems that was not to be.
Kazuma...
I don't know if I'm relieved or annoyed to see him. Maybe some of both. He irritates me to no end, of course, but it is something of a relief to see someone from home. It is also good to know that almost no time has passed since my abduction, as far as he knows, so it does not seem like the Lost Ground will be in peril without the two of us there to defend it.
I have a feeling that he will not take living here easily, though. Perhaps I have become too complacent myself, being here for so long. He asked about escape attempts and what had been done against the Malnosso... have I become too stagnant here? Have I not been trying hard enough to escape? It is worth a thought.
[/Private]
Leto, I assume the stone that was left by the door was a gift from you. It must have taken you quite some time to create it. Thank you. I don't recognize the word carved in the stone... does it have some meaning in your world?

Oct. 15th, 2009 12:37 amMy birthday just passed a few days ago. Nobody tell Duo. It's easy to lose track of the time here. I didn't even think to look at one of the calendars until I noticed the weather getting cooler.
I arrived here in late winter, over a year and a half ago. It doesn't seem like that long, sometimes.I wonder if anyone back home... [written and scratched out] I need to return to the Lost Ground. What are the Malnosso trying to accomplish with me? I can't do any- [again scratched out]
...
For anyone wondering, Leto is still staying with us. He seems to be recovering well... though I fear that the internal battle with this Jenova hasn't fully come about yet.
[[OOC: Edited to fix an error. Mun apparently shouldn't write posts late at night when she can't remember that there ARE calendars...]]

Private but not; Voice
Sep. 17th, 2009 12:52 am[Ryuhou meant to lock this entry, but in his distressed state, did not manage to do so.]
Ten days. It's been ten days since they took him. I don't want to think about what they might be doing... I don't even understand all of his mental capabilities, but his aunt was in bad condition when she was returned last time. I would assume they'd do something similar to him, but... I should not assume.
Damn your prescience, Leto! What good does it do if you don't try to do anything to change it? I could have at least been there to fight them with you. Why wouldn't you let me? [huff of frustrated breath] And yet your future sight didn't tell you when you would return. That might have been more helpful.
Tch. I shouldn't even be thinking like this. I know there's nothing to be done. I only...
....
[flips the recording to unlocked, so he thinks]
I'm going to go patrol the forest.

Jul. 6th, 2009 12:22 amThis rain is different for me. It never rained much on the Lost Ground... perhaps the altitude was wrong? I'm not sure.
Hijiri is home now. I'm not sure what they've done to him, but his fever hasn't broken yet. It seems our captors will never tire of finding new ways to torment us.
[Private to Leto]
Leto, are you keeping safe from the water? You know you're welcome to come here if your cave becomes dangerous for you.

May. 27th, 2009 12:36 amPossession, is it? I will not kill those who are under the influence of this experiment, even if I have been given my full powers back. The Malnosso apparently want to see if we actually will try to kill each other, and I will not stoop so low as to follow their direction.
However. If any of you, possessed or simply returned to full power, decide to threaten the safety of others in this town, I will stop you. I am well capable of restraining or incapacitating nearly any threat in my current state, so you would be well advised to keep your own powers under control.

...I'm not cleaning that up.
Honestly, I don't know how I put up with you two.
Does anyone else have troubles with their roommates? People should have some consideration for those they live with. It's just common courtesy. Civility.

Apr. 26th, 2009 01:30 amI apologize to anyone I... shouted at or accused this past week. I am aware that Kazuma is not here. Even if he was, that level of obsession with him is something I am long past.
I acted like an idiot, but I'm sure we all know who is truly to blame, yes? It seems they never tire of toying with us.
