I'm not sure why, but lately it feels as if the Youjakai is calling me back to its dark world.

That brat's gone. Good. He was getting on my nerves.

Thanks for watching IT while I was at work, Kongo.

DO

NOT

WANT.

Whoever this child belongs to... TAKE IT BACK NOW.

It was around this time... maybe it happened a few weeks later... It was when my allies and I realized the mistakes we made. Hmph. The memories of my past have this funny habit of attacking me when I least expect it. Typical.

Juliana tries to understand but I doubt she can, even with her patience. I don't think it'll work out between us for much longer, but at least I can say I tried to maintain a "normal" relationship in this world.

For those who insist on knowing this means you Kongo and Tenku, my practice with this "acting" business is going without incident - I can't say the same for some my other associates, but otherwise, I wish to get this over with.

SOUMA!!

I've heard some rumors... and you know the one I'm referring to.

You had better be joking. Your life will depend on it.


((OOC: He's talking about the audition. Of course I lol'd hard when I saw Anubisu's name on the list! XD))

This town has been eerily quiet as of late. Has something happened?

We were supposed to turn our clocks forward an hour? What's the point? Are there other stupid American traditions like this? I'm glad it was only Sunday, but still!

I'm very glad this holiday is over with. The colors were too bright, the couples in love made me sick and yet... I wasn't *as* disgusted over it as I thought I would be. Plus, that dog helped me earn quite a lot of money too bad I had to give him half of my wealth. Still, it was enough to take Juliana out for a nice dinner.

There are too many people in this damn city, now there are more of them - many of them looking to be in love. I can't express how much I loathe this holiday! Yet I don't feel as much hatred as I should... Magic spells must be affecting me as well.

However, I did find myself attached to this dog. He seems to have been bringing me good luck ever since I met him. I've always been a dog person.

This Valentine's Day sounds ridiculous. Pink, red, white - those bright colors that plaster the windows of some of the stores in this city hurt my eyes. Don't bother me until this stupid holiday is over.

Don't ask about my date, either. Stubborn woman insisting that SHE pay for the dinner? With a plastic card of all things!

It appears I have my very first "date" tomorrow night after we get off work - we being myself and my co-worker. We shall see how this goes.

Foolish! How could I, a former demon general, lose at such a ridiculous event like laser tag?! Never the less, I wish Gary-kun luck with his next round. He showed a lot of spirit for one so young. First the Troopers, now this... I need to practice more.

I've just returned from my trip. The New England snow was wonderful and I'm happy to see that this country doesn't fail to produce the winter season. I didn't care for the bright lights of the fireworks or the noisy people crowded together just to see some giant glowing ball fall from a high point. I much prefer the traditional Japanese shrine bell ringing in the New Year. It's not as loud.

I'd like to see what lies beyond this place. I'm thinking about taking my motorcycle and exploring the lands during the holiday season. Perhaps to the northern regions where there are heavy blizzards.

Finally, weather I feel comfortable in. I wish it would get colder, but I'll certainly take this.

Enjoy your birthday, Kayura.

((OOC: He left her a card, a bouquet of flowers, and a gift certificate to her favorite shop in front of her door))

Maybe it's because I've been drinking so much lately (I swore off the rest yesterday) but I thought I heard bells - only to discover I now have wings on my back!? What is this place coming to these days?

Then I looked outside only to see a giant walking toy bear? *sigh* Toshitada, I'm free today if you wish to stop by. I don't plan on going to school again, even if there's a few days left before this Christmas vacation nonsense begins.

Why is there a feather-less bird and a man in a red suit knocking on my door??

Feh, my birthday. It's just another year towards death... and why did that green idiot say that I was "the laziest man on Mars"? My name is not Dropo!

I think I'd better stop drinking... Ah, no, I still have all these bottles that won't stop being full!

Nasuti-dono, thank you again for the present and Kayura for the birthday greeting... If I wasn't so drunk I'd... um... I'd better go lie down on the floor...

((OOC: OMG... I'm going to have to watch my MST3K version of this movie now when I get home from work, so that I may too have a Patrick Swayze Christmas))

I wish it would get colder in Florida.
