Okay...since Axel seems to think it's a bad idea to try and teach the cat to ice skate, let me ask all of you a question. A friend and I are thinking about starting a business. It's something really good, promise.

Think about this. You have an important item but suddenly you can't find it. You think it might have even been stolen. So who would you call? The police, sure, but what about detectives?

[The camera's soon going to get a view of the front cover of a detective novel he picked up from the library.]

Even if it's not something a lot of people would use, I bet at least one person could use a few detectives around here, so I'm volunteering myself and Naoto Shirogane. Need a mystery to be solved? Call us. We all know weird stuff happens around here all the time...just look at last week.

[And with that being said, he's going to wander through KH house to see if Axel's home. He's had a few discussions with the older boy involving another certain bff and a certain redhead replica. And so there's a few minutes' pause before the next bit filters through.]

[Filtered to Luke]

Hey. Axel and I want to talk to you at Fourteen. Come over.

[Housemates will probably find Roxas in the kitchen with newspapers on the table, a palate of paint, some paper...and a very disgruntled cat who doesn't understand why his human wants him to dip his pretty paws in the wet colors.]

Nea, come on. You were doing really well, too. You can't just give up now.

[There's a hiss from the cat before he swats at the paint palate. Roxas sighs and shakes his head, giving up for now. Artists can be pretty temperamental, after all. Instead he'll focus himself on the journal, opening it up and idly leafing through it. His conversation with Naoto's been on his mind, and he has an important question.]

So...what's the main difference between being a boy and being a girl? I mean, girls can do things boys can, right? So what difference does it make? [He doesn't quite get why people were upset with Naoto for being a girl detective, that's all.] Answer me that.

And answer me this: how come everyone else got a horse last week except for me? Total bummer.

[Filtered to Axel]

I've got something cool to show you, but you have to go to the battle dome with me.

[/Filtered]

[Filtered to Xion]

Do you need anything? [He's worried about you, bff dos. He's in overprotective mode now.]

Man, what's up with this heat wave? Like three days last week and now the second day in a row this week? Axel, maybe you had it right. The ocean's sounding pretty good right now. It's probably too late in the day to get out there though.

[And maybe Axel was right about a few other things. Mainly, Roxas needs to be more of a teenager and less of researcher. So today he's taken the redhead's advice and enlisted in some tomfoolery of his own.

It just happens to be in the form of water balloons. A whole bucket of them, and he's sitting next to them outside of what would be KH house if it was visible to everyone.]

So...I've got a bunch of water balloons that are dying to be popped. Who's up for a fight? Some of you actually don't have a choice, but I'm pretty sure you know who you guys are.

[Don't ask him; he read about it in a book.]

Now that Hayner's gone too, I wonder who's going to take over his body and come back with the new feathers.

It's funny how quickly people come and go from here, isn't it? Makes you wonder who chooses the ones to leave and why they're specifically chosen.

I think...I've run out of things to research. I guess that's what happens after two and a half years.

Axel, maybe you were right.

At least Xion's back. Hope she stays this time, but they seem to like her a lot. I want to know why.

( Small cut for small BBS spoiler. Also 100% Filter on this piece )

...maybe I should find something to do with my present from them. It's different than the one Pence had.

Okay anyone who's reading, what's your favorite thing to look at in the village?

[Filtered from Vanitas and Ven to the rest of the KH cast]

Okay. How many of you guys think this wasn't just some weird kind of coincidence?

[/Filter]

[Filtered to Xion]

I think I need to talk to you soon...it's important.

[/Filter]

[Filtered to Axel]

I learned something really interesting about you.

[/Filter]

So Luceti...what exactly makes a person real or not? What qualities and characteristics mean that a person exists instead of just being a weird figment? Trust me, it's important.

If you can't trust your friends, who can you trust?
What do you do when...no.
If something's based on life and de--

So...if people you know are keeping secrets from you, should you bother asking them about it until they cave in, or just believe them when they say it's for your own good? How would you know it's for your own good...actually, how would they know? It's your good, not theirs, right?

I can't settle for waiting and doing nothing until it's over.

[He left this unfiltered from certain people on purpose, mostly hoping he could draw out the answers he wanted. The strikes aren't too legible, but if a person squinted enough and tilted their head, they could probably make them out.]

This may seem random, but what can anybody tell me about that Yuber guy? I need to know.

...I have a few things to discuss with some stupid guys with silver hair friends who keep hiding things from me a few people. Maybe it's your lucky day that I'm postponing that for a while. If you think it's you? Well, you'll know.

Naminé's gone, isn't she.

It's that time of year again, isn't it? For the snow and everything...it's kind of nice. Just means it's closer to Christmas.

How many worlds are there that actually get snow? My world never did.

[Filtered to Xion]

Hey...I'm ready to talk about...whatever it was you wanted to tell me.

[Filtered to Axel]

We need to talk.

[Filtered to Sora]

...have you met Xion?

( Private, 100% Unhackable, not that it's anything important )

I know I already asked but really, why's the New Feather cycle still going anyway? Not that I can complain, I guess, but I'm curious. Thoughts? I mean I have some, but I'm curious. Humor me.

Maybe I just can't think of anything to say. I'm not really good at this.

Cloud, are you still completely insane feeling any better?

Axel...where the heck do you keep going during the day anyway?

( Private, 90% Unhackable] )

308 days...again, I feel like I keep missing things. How did it become July already? The middle of July, even. Summer's half-way over at this point.

Hey, Olette. I know it's not the same as the beach, but we should go to the lake sometime. We can get pretzels and watermelon and everything, it'll be great.

There were a lot of fireworks last week and I never figured out why. Anybody want to explain it to me? It'd be helpful. They were interesting to watch but they were loud too.

...Axel? I have sort of a weird question for you...whenever, it's not that important but I'm curious about something.

Also, why are we still getting New Feathers? We usually slow down around now, don't we?

( [Private, 99% Unhackable (may contains very small spoilers for 358/2)] )

[There's a Roxas sitting at the lake, sifting through the water near the shore and really focusing on his task]

…I've been here for 284 days. The weather can't make up its mind I guess. This experiment also seems to be a lot different than the last one. Everyone’s okay, right? Let me know if I can help somehow.

[Filtered to Axel]
I have a question…maybe you can help me out.

[Filtered to Sora]
Hey. I need to talk to you, if that’s okay?

And just when things were starting to be peaceful around here. I thought I wouldn't I can't believe This isn't fair... Forget it.

Raine, I was going to try and go to school but it'll have to wait for a while. Sorry. Things have been a little...weird lately. What's everybody else been up to, besides throwing parties and planning summer things. Just curious.

[Filtered to Sora]

Hey, I have no problem leaving right now. Meet me at the building I saw you last time.

[Filtered to Axel]

Technically I could just go to your room but I'm not up for moving. I want to talk to you about something.

[ooc: strikes barely legible; basically you'd have to squint hard]

Well...that was weird. I'm not gonna apologize but I'm pretty sure I did and said some things that were a little...out there.

It would also explain the massive amount of cupcakes I have in my room, at least. Anybody want a cupcake?

One thing that didn't change since the experiment though is loving the weather. Summer's almost here, anybody else excited? I think I'll head down to the lake again, read some more.

Speaking of reading; Martel, how are you enjoying Alice so far?

( Private, not necessarily unhackable )

I just realized I haven't seen Bella in a really long time. Anybody else seen her lately? Maybe I've just fallen off the wagon, I don't know. I haven't talked to a lot of people lately.

Oh...and Axel, did you hide my library books because if you did, I want them back soon.

( 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.

[very silent for a long time save for the faint sound of his own breathing. when he does speak, it's in an extremely low tone, barely above a whisper]

I'm not going back. I'm not incomplete. And even when I left the places they kept me, you found me anyway...
