[there is a Roxas walking around dragging a giant piece of polished wood functioning as a crude surfboard. He's also whistling to himself and has a bit of a bounce in his step while holding his journal to talk]

I don't see what everybody's so worried about. Everything's great here! The sun's out, the water's getting warm, nothing bad's happening.

Xigbar! Did you still want to go to the lake 'cause I'm already heading down there. This is going to be awesome.

[ooc: cynicism is GONE.]

[so, nobody's really seen Roxas for the past few days/week because he's been hiding out at the lake. Today the blond boy has his feet in the water and he's laying on his back, reading a copy of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and actually relaxing. Or day-dreaming, whichever. Next to him is a small fox who's busy trying to catch a fish, so Roxas is gonna talk to him anyway]

If Alice fell down the rabbit hole, and I fell down the barrier into the forest...and if Alice saw a bunch of weird whimsical things that never existed in her own world, and I'm meeting people and seeing things I've never seen before...and the Queen was trying to more or less torture Alice in her kingdom, and the Malnosso are terrorizing us in their own world...does that make Luceti my own Wonderland?

Kind of messed up, isn't it?

[The fox voices his agreement and Roxas sighs, going back to reading the book instead. Feel free to bother him, really]

( Private, probably 40% hackable because he's not paying attention )

Cloud...I have your Materia to return to you. Thanks for letting me borrow it.

And Fina? Where are you, I haven't seen you around...

And for that matter...anybody who's been in the library lately, anybody have any good recommendations? I think I need something new to read.

[ooc: anybody who can hack the private section, beware that strikes are scratched out but still slightly visible]

Home is where the heart is; sounds about right. I think...I like that idea.

I can't wait until Fina and I find that building, and I'm glad she wants to learn to skateboard. Gives us something to do. Maybe everybody's right, maybe I need to work less. I just hope I'm not la--

[There's the sound of the journal hitting the rooftop and a yell from Roxas] Hey! Get your hands off! [sound of metal clashing against metal is a sure sign the Keyblades were busted out]

I'm not afraid of you! [There's a bit more of a struggle before the scrape of the journal moving across the rooftop and flying down into the center of the village, hitting the ground and ending in static]

[ooc: No, I'm not joining the hiatus train but I DO need to be more active with my other three so, Roxas is being mallynapped for a while]

So...this is pretty weird. Is this new Cloud the other Cloud's Nobody then? Thoughts? [/Filter]

...huh. I...don't really have anything to say, other than I'm still alive. Everybody else good? Spring's here, I'm seeing a lot more of you out around the village. That's...good? I'm really bad at being social without a point, I guess?

And welcome to all of the new feathers, there's definitely a lot of you this time around. And it's nice to see a lot of the ones who've been kidnapped are coming back in one piece.

...yeah this was pretty pointless.

[Private, pretty much unhackable unless you're a Nobody, a Heartless, or somebody he trusts a lot (i.e. Cloud, Zack, Fina, etc]

There's something strangely wrong here in Luceti. I can't figure it out, but...I don't like it. I wish I had more sources to use. But like Zexion said, in due time. Wonder if it can wait that long though.

[/Private]

Is the experiment over yet...? A lot of you are acting really goofy and as funny as it was to begin with, now it's just starting to freak me out.

[hastily scribbled in a little while later]

...damn it. Obviously did not think this one all the way through.

( Private, 90% Unhackable due to his own absent-minded state )

The snow's starting to melt. Spring must be soon? Can't wait.

Riku, um...when you're not busy I need to talk to you. Just do it.

Huh. Guess the Malnosso really are capable of anything. That was a pretty weird experiment, that much is true. But at least everybody's back to normal for the most part right? Because a lot of you were acting really weird. And um, you looked pretty weird too. Not that it was a bad thing 'cause I'm sure we all did.

...why does my mouth taste like sugar?

[if you happen to be in the village near the forest you might spot a little blond-haired boy wandering around wearing his scarf and jacket, sniffling a little because he's still got a cold but he's on a mission]

Everybody here's being really weird. And a lot of them are being mean too. Jerks.

I made a new friend though! Ienzo's nice.

I woke up though and I was all alone. I didn't like it.

...Axeeelll.

[ooc: okay so I figured that since Roxas was never actually a child he still retains all of his memories from the Organization but he's de-aged so that he looks and acts like a child. Make of that what you will.]

( Private, 95% Unhackable )

Um...can someone explain why a penguin gave me these flowers? And where they're from?

I'm not really enjoying the cold weather. My room's freezing. And the snow's messing up my skateboarding and my sparring. I don't feel good...at all.

[[ooc: from this. Flonne-mun if Prinny wouldn't have delivered Roxas' flowers yet, sorry! strikes still legible but not as clear as if they weren't there]]

[is currently sitting next to the river, skipping rocks with his skateboard sitting next to him] I have to admit, I'm pretty glad to only have one head again but the fur was keeping me pretty warm. Seems like everybody else has gone back to normal too. What was that all about anyway?

It's interesting, the new feathers that are coming into Luceti. People I never thought I'd see again for one. Not sure what I think. Guess I never am.

I feel pretty restless. I wish it wasn't this cold outside. I need to get back to researching but there's this block in my brain.

[loud sigh] Whatever, I don't care. [throws a heavier rock into the river and listens to the loud "plop!" sound]

[almost sounds like he's growling when he's speaking] These experiments are getting stranger and stranger. I don't get what the point of this one is.

[sitting outside of community housing building 1, one head looking toward the forest, one looking toward the river, and one just resting on his forepaws]

They could have at least made me full-sized.

[[ooc: For lack of creativity on my part, Roxas is Cerberus, but because of the size-cap, he's about the size of a normal puppy with three heads versus the full-size from Olympus Coliseum. And since he's Roxas I doubt he'd be growling consistently so please feel free to ignore the icon >>;]]

[here have a Roxas tied to a tree in the middle of the forest and wrapped up in bright Christmas lights with 'Merry Christmas!' and snowmen painted on his face, definitely not looking happy. feel free to find him like this. Also, he's got a skateboard laying next to him as a present from the Mally-peoples, but that's not his main problem]

...YUFFIE!

[grumbles]If I don't get down, nobody's getting presents. [yes, he broke down and picked out presents for Aros, Sora, Yuffie, Bella, Fina, and even a little something for Cloud, Xigbar, and Salt]

[[ooc: based on this thread. Happy holidays everybody!]]

I thought I already went through this, not remembering things.

What...happened, exactly? At first I thought everybody was just stupid and forgetful but looking back on it, I don't really remember either. Nobody seems to know what's happened over those two days, not a person in town. It doesn't add up at all. No clues, nothing. I wish I knew. I want to know.

I want to remember what caused me to feel, or close to.
[/private]

Again with this "Christmas" stuff. At least it's not snowing, that'd be something. Then you'd have snowmen all over the place. So what comes after Christmas?

[ooc: strikes are still slightly legible, if anybody hacks beyond the privacy]

...based on the journals, sounds like we just got a huge amount of traffic or new people? What's going on now?

[sounds more curious than anything] So...what's the big deal about Christmas anyway? Yes, I know how it works and all, but why?

...there are a lot of new feathers, aren't there?

Hey Squall, have you come up with anything since the last time...? Just curious

[thoughtful sigh]...I knew it. Knew it wouldn't last.

Guess we'll see each other in the next life...again.

[insert sounds of a thrown journal hitting the wall]

[ooc: Sorry for being non-existent entirely, my grandfather died Monday, and I've been preparing for finals. Hopefully I can be more active soon!]

Um...where can I find Cloud? If anybody knows, send him my way.

[sounds of Roxas shuffling papers and writing things along with a few random thuds]

...I really need to stop isolating myself probably. All it's done so far is get me completely lost and out of the loop.

Strange things continue to happen even if I don't do anything. Maybe I just need to find another method to stop them from occuring?

I don't know...I don't know anything at the moment it seems. It was easier to understand my non-existence than this place.

Melancholy's not the right word, but it's the first to come to mind.

[[ooc: Sorrryyy, kinda dropped off the face of the earth because of school >>; Feel free to bother Roxas with whatever, he's been neglected lately. Oh, and strikes are faintly legible.]]
