breatheinthefog...Valentine's Day is a stupid holiday. But you all seem to like it.
How was yours?
*Sigh.*
How was yours?
*Sigh.*
breatheinthefogbreatheinthefogWhy do you people have more than one outfit anyway? Some of you have even taken obtaining new clothes as some kind of hobby where you get as many of the kind you like as you can. None of this makes any sense to me.

*If you are for any reason in the grocery store nearest to the hotel, you hear a massive crash. Very like a depowered but still very strong individual just knocked over the baking aisle. No, I don't mean stole stuff, she actually knocked over a shelf. As she makes a move to outrun angry store associates, the tumbling mess blocks the aisle, filling it with boxes of cake mix, containers of frosting, and instant potato dinners to wade through.*

She's watching me.

breatheinthefogThe warm feeling is gone.
I kind of miss it now.
(If you see Kaoru anywhere, she's surrounded by a black-red aura that basically says "evil" to anyone in range. She doesn't really seem to notice.)

Sep. 25th, 2012 07:19 ambreatheinthefog*Kaoru set her phone aside to record the Shadows while she stood around waiting for one, which is why she's framed in the shot when a girl her age walks up to her. This one is wearing the same grey sweater and black skirt, with a red pendant instead of a blue one, and has the same pale skin and dilated eyes, except her hair and eyes are red. The new girl -- clearly Kaoru's event Shadow -- smirks.*
Kaoru.
Hello.
*Kaoru's been watching the network enough that she isn't surprised when the other girl throws a punch at her; she just ducks out of the way.*
Why are you questioning our purpose? We have only one reason to exist.
*Kaoru stands up.* I'm not. I know what we're here for.
To destroy the world. Every world.
Yes.
Why did you let some of these people know, then?
Because it doesn't matter whether they do or not.
Right. Nothing matters to you... *The red-haired girl draws out a small, cheap, pink stuffed bunny. Kaoru's eyes narrow.* Right?
How did you get into my hotel room?
You know how. *She laughs.* So?
Put that down.
I think not.
*The other girl gathers dark energy in her other hand and shoots it at Kaoru. Kaoru puts up her hand to block instinctively, but she can't shield anymore -- of course, no powers in Prospero --
and she is instead knocked down in a cloud of dust. The other girl jumps out of the shot, leaving Kaoru alone. Kaoru drags herself to her feet, grabs for the camera, and starts running.*

breatheinthefogExplain this thing called frosh week. Specifically, explain why I was given detention when I slammed a senior into the lockers when he called our grade scum and told me to eat the grass on the football field. The entire thing was stupid.
Also, apparently this year I have to join a school club. Are any of them interesting?

breatheinthefogWhen there's no Shadow, there's a gift: either something from the worlds we were in previously, or a clue. Clearly, these cards are the latter. The Velvet Room's attendants may be behind the other gifts, as well.
Enough about that. Does summer vacation really last this long here? What do you even do during this? People can't possibly go to the beach and eat strange fried food every day.

breatheinthefogThe video is showing strange things. I'll see what happens when I do it. Then we'll know what it is.
( Kaoru intentionally invokes the event... )
*Back in Prospero, Kaoru stares at the phone.*
...That was utterly pointless.

Jun. 8th, 2012 07:25 ambreatheinthefog...that was one of the strangest full moons in a while.
I apparently now have a slot playing the violin at the middle school graduation ceremony. I don't know how. But it worked.
Come watch this weekend. If you want. It doesn't matter if you don't.
...also, where can I find more music books? I've already read and memorized the instruction books in the band room on how to play the violin.

breatheinthefogBefore the end of the school year, Prospero Middle School is holding something called "grad" for everybody in my year. It's supposedly something to commemorate the fact that we're moving up into the high school after summer vacation. I'd normally consider this pointless, but it sounds interesting, so I'm doing it.
They have open auditions for musical performances and accompaniment at the ceremony.
*Kaoru pauses.*
Of the two people I would have asked about this before the mass vanishment, both are gone, and I only liked one anyway. As for my classmates, judging from the songs and chants they enjoy performing in the hallway for their own amusement, I'll get nothing useful from them. I have no interest in learning why there would be joy to the world if the school burned down, who this Barney individual is whom everybody wants to kill, or who declared beans to be the magical fruit.
Captives of Prospero. Tell me how to play an instrument.

breatheinthefog*The past few nights, Kaoru has come stumbling home from the dungeon, fighting until she can barely walk. You might see bruises on her, although she wears long sleeves and long skirts even in summer, and you can definitely see her pushing herself to move throughout the day. Find her either at school, in the hotel, or wandering around the town to get groceries she doesn't know what to do with.*

May. 14th, 2012 06:47 ambreatheinthefog*Gone. Gone. Gone. The names just kept piling up. The contact list kept thinning out. People Kaoru didn't know. People she did know. People, as much as she hated to admit it, that she liked and wanted to keep.
Why.
Why? This was stupid. It was...*
[text]
It might be our captors. It might be their enemies. Somebody is thinning out our numbers by sending people back where they came from. Probably because killing us doesn't work.
Whoever is behind this, know that your actions are as pointless as your very existence.

*Kaoru's sitting in her room, being... a little more depressed than lineface? It's hard to tell. She'll take visitors and calls if people want.*

breatheinthefogHospitals are boring. Do people actually stay here to the full extent that they're supposed to?
breatheinthefog*Kaoru is linefacing as usual, but she clears her throat, looks straight at the screen, and announces...*
I also intend to befriend the entire contact list.
That's all.
(What better way to ring in the new event? To Kaoru, selfish destructive impulses are counterproductive things like making friends, publicly enjoying things, and being nice to everyone. So... yeah.)

breatheinthefog*Kaoru starts the video feed in her room. Next to her on the floor is a pile of textbooks. She holds up the one she's got open in her other hand, looks at it, and then looks back at the camera.
It's the sex ed textbook.
All she has to say about this is...*
Really?
*The video shuts off.*

Tch. She was wrong, and she disappeared. She probably got herself killed believing the best of people. Or she went home to die for defying her fate.
Either way, it's pointless.

*Kaoru can be found wandering around, looking suspiciously at anyone who passes by her -- even if she knows them. Blame the event.*
