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.]

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?

[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?

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.

[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, 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?

[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]

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]
