( tl;dr private | hackable because...he doesn't care today )


I'm thinking, rather than a day to remind people of things they or we did, for whatever reasons, it could be that we're supposed to take it into our own hands.....and things change depending on how we look at them.

For loved ones, maybe, make a food they liked, or you associate with them in their thought and honor.... for enemies, we can respect them by not regretting a decision that big....for people who aren't either....just remember, but try not to blame or grudge yourself more than necessary.

It's....dark. Not saying we aren't all a little dark but, it's...not any kind of justice for either party....you know? And I don't think I've ever thought about it as much as I have here, in this way but, death isn't the end of everything...it's another step. We move on, but we don't forget.

The City and its deities can move us around, but it's not up to them who we are.

This isn't really....well obviously it's not that. People can take it or leave it...but I hope they take some of it.

Again?

[ a sigh ]

I wonder if Yuuko-san is still here...or Himawari-chan...or...

At least I remember everything.

[ pause ]


Maybe I'll stop by the library on my way back to the shop....assuming the shop is still there....




[ooc: and finally the last one returns....from the hiatus of orz ....will try to swing back in sorry guys, updated for what it's worth, to the 164 of lolol cooking >.>; edit: WHY DID 4 SNEAK UP ON ME....brb social obligation of....of being....yeah...dlfldkfs apologies, any tags, picked up ASAP on return <3 ]

One month.

ONE MONTH and....it's not that bad.

Except a certain someone keeps moving all of my belongings around. I can't FIND anything. A certain someone eats more than ten NORMAL people his size and is threatening to run us out of forced house and home.

That said, I don't mind it THAT much but....he steals the covers.

We still need furniture. All we have is a bed and a table. WHAT DO YOU DO WITH JUST A BED AND A TABLE? Well, I mean there's counters and things since the kitchen came with an island and all but still...

More furniture.

Shizuka's not allowed to pick. His taste is boring beyond all reason.

One month and it feels like a WHOLE YEAR.

Hardly anyone was able to come to the wedding....just a few of his friends...and well, our friends...HImawari-chan and Yuuko-san....

Arranged marriages are so dated, what were mother and father THINKING....maybe I should write them a letter.

What good will a LETTER do we're already MARRIED oh god......

...oh well.



[OOC: arranged marriage of doumeki and watanuki is go, throw yourself into the mix if you know them....if you want.....just ooc comment to us first so we can finagle you in to it.....Autor was best man and....i think that's all we got so far >.>;;;  yes under the wire i know...srry...work all day, ya know how it is. ]

To who it may concern:

We have too many leftover cookies.

Sincerely,
Watanuki Kimihiro

PS. If you like cookies, I can send small parcels out....this isn't a paid service. I just don't know what else we'll do with all of these...

So you're not back for that long and, somehow, I'm sure I know,  all of it is gone.

Yuuko-san. That much drinking can't possibly be good for anyone. Me. Clow-san didn't help probably. Or does. Either way, it's sort of expensive!

Anyway, I'm making okonomiyaki tonight. And yakisoba. And yakizakana. More people for now, more stomachs....I kind of like it though....

Tomorrow I was thinking....oden?

...........................where did I put tha------

[ sound of something falling on someone, a splash ]

......n-not funny.


[ and the sound of walking only to soon turn into the sound of tripping and collision with ground ]

WHO PUT THAT----


.........what a stupid cur--ahhhhhh!


[ and the sound of a faucet being turned on becomes the sound of water spraying everywhere uncontrollably and then the squeaky and hurried sound of the sink being shut off ]


....I don't believe this.

First, I wanted to thank you.... Clow-san and Kuromi-chan for....what you did on that curse day a while back. I never properly thanked you. I've prepared small things for both of you.....if you would accept them.

Secondly, how are you both?


Himawari-chan, how are you? I know people must like you here.....but I know it's a little strange too. Please let me know if you need anything....also....I....um....well....are you busy tomorrow?

Everyone really...I mean....I was thinking, it's been sort of quiet....sort of, for the City. Maybe, a picnic? It might make you smile....make you all happy for a little??? I'd really like for that to be possible, even here...at least we are together...

....a-ah.........................this.....................I th...........thought...........


[ very weak cough, groan, what have you..........]


...n.........no...









[ooc; he has no idea where he is right now but he has [un]pleasantly re-received all his wounds from falling out of a nice high window and landing in the shards of glass, la la la these things, they happen......well, if you're in a story by CLAMP, they happen....da da da.....etc......presumably the street, somewhere...... -_- idk my bff you guess? somewhere between the shop and......everything else -_- action spam for Doumeki the jerk, and uh, voice for anyone else......if you want....like a fragment of a sentence -_-;;;]

I realize with an influx and otherwise of people to the City, curses continue to be both unexpected and part of the everyday but, either way, is it really necessary to pick on the people who want to apologize or mark its passing? I guess some of you are more or less just apathetic but....still.....you don't have to read or listen to anything on the network you don't want to, I don't think.

And sometimes people are really hurt by the curses, even if the technical effects are temporary.

Granted the last one was unusually long but....it's not like they asked for it.

What's your problem anyway?

Geez.

...

ON ANOTHER NOTE~*~*~*~**********

H i m a w a r i -channnnnnnnnnn has unfortunately  for her however fortunate for me....I should not be so happy about this come to the City! BE NICE~ Please. You'll want to be, even those of you who usually aren't. Because she's Himawari-chan.

I'm going to the store soon if any of you at the shop need anything, tell me before I go okay? Also, Himawari-channn, if you need anything also, let me know!

.....you may also put in a request if you are in need of anything as you are helping Himawari-chan settle in. No other reason.


[ooc: linked people >>;;; there as an example to what he's speaking about :x even though he knows neither of you? 8D <3 srry....had to be someone.....annnnnnnnd.......well that's it? xd; ]

I assume you're at your apartment still, you jerk.....


...


Well.


Are you!?

I, the great Watanuki-sama, after much diligent toiling, have produced a series of expert confections!~ Yuuko-san, I'm not sure sake is the best thing to go with these however.....maybe wine but I'm not going to SAY that......Ahhhh.....anyway, the first sets of fifty or so, about a hundred of these miniature cakes, just as snacks or things to take with you, and also the petit fours, the cakes having a ganache or frosting covering and teh petit fours having more of a light glaze if you have a more sensitive palette. But rest assured, whichever you choose, you will be pleased. I'm the best very good at this.....I just don't know why I decided to make so many.......

 
Marzipan and sugar flowers, so they're edible too, neat, right?
 

I didn't forget the strawberries theme, Yuuko-san. Kurosaki, I imagine this is your influence. Whatever. At least we got a good cake out of it. It's heart-shaped because....well.....I like hearts and.....I thought Sakura-chan and maybe even Lyra-chan might appreciate it.....Himawari-chan would have thought it was really cute....sigh......It's strawberries and creme inside anyway, vanilla crumble on the outside.

But for the people who don't like strawberries or in case you weren't in the mood or....well really I just wanted to bake more.....the checker cherry blossom cake is a more straightforward cake, chocolate and vanilla with marzipan on top again.

Yuuko-san, you are back for how long and healing, that's good and the sake, the very, very well fortified and stocked sake stock...

I noticed only now: it's gone. All of it. It's not good for you so much of it!

I don't think I've ever asked you if you have an alternative to it, but maybe it would be worse...

The shumai tonight didn't come out the way I thought it would. I must be tired. How stupid.

Also? No more carrot cake. I don't care if it matches Kurosaki's hair. Next time, something less...orange.

I haven't had the dreams so much here......I don't know if that's good anymore though...but I'm still tired as though nothing has changed.

Some people in this City are unbelievably arrogant. Doumeki has nothing on some of them....first time for everything I guess.

Kidnappings, hostages? Religious absolution? Somehow I'm not sure all these things tying into hitsuzen is exactly the same as it is in our world......maybe the City severs itself from hitsuzen.

...well if that were true I guess he wouldn't be here. Scratch that.

...

It all seems ridiculously unnecessary. Why cause excess grief in a place where those things aren't even going to matter when you go home, wherever home is? Ugh.....


Suppose it's none of my business then, really.


I do not think I will be getting used to the sake store we maintain failing to go down at an excessively high rate.*

...







[ooc: *code for: mommy yuuko-san is still gone and Watanuki will go take a walk or clean something now, kthxbai]

.......

This is from the idiot and I'm sure you know who I mean.

That's all.

[filtered to Rosette//viewable to Fakir, Autor, Ahiru//unhackable]

Joshua’s back. It seems he’s lost what memory he had of the City, considering he didn’t remember Rosiel. That includes the fact that he wants to find Rosette and probably kill her.

I’ll keep filtering my posts, and I probably won’t talk to him myself, but I will continue to keep an eye out.

I suppose in her absence, I at least do not have to be concerned with re-stocking the sake.

...


Stupid curses.

COMMENT SPAM FOR: Yuuko, Doumeki, Clow and Watanuki [duh?]


[ He knows when the iceberg hits because well, hell, how do you miss THAT, especially when you already know it's coming.  The problem is, somehow, in the confusion, the MASS confusion of all these people, children, adults and everything in between, he finds himself alone, and wow, he sort of hates that he's not exactly as fit as perhaps other boys his age because he keeps getting invariably run over, thrown into walls by stampeding panicked people, and so on......

....it can't get any worse except someone knocks his glasses off of his face, excellent.]

Damn!

[And he's running down the corridor with his hand against the wall, trying very hard to run into as few people as possible, not at all sure he's going the right way....]

I realize this comes at a time of...unrest for you, though I do not understand the scope of the problem. But thank you to the shinigami, Kuchiki Rukia and substitute shinigami Kurosaki Ichigo. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help you, in any of your endeavors.

...I am not sure that spiritual energy means the same for you as it does for me, but there is something useful in that, I have found, for what it is worth.

Thank you Doumeki.


...it appears I have much to learn about these arrancar....and so on.


...what do you want for lunch tomorrow?

COMMENT SPAM FOR / LOCKED TO: Grimmjow, Il Forte, Doumeki, Ichigo, and Rukia....yeah.

Pay attention, Shizuka, because I'm not telling you again.

...

I AM NOT A MAID.

Yes I know how to use a broom. Yes I use it often. BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN YOU CAN'T USE IT TOO.

Geez.

...we still have to run those delivery....errand.....things for Yuuko-san you know. Tonight I guess?

By the way, don't THINK I didn't notice the inarizushi, GONE, already.......bottomless pit.....



There are going to be more of them at the temple with spring coming...people AND spirits....even with you around. Hm.
