...This is certainly different.

I can deal with this, though.

[Action]

[Albert is most definitely looking for the clothes he had before as a child; he wasn't really dressed for cold weather. Unfortunately, he's discovering that nothing an 8-year-old would wear will fit a 13-year-old.]

Current Mood: surprised

[By all rights, Albert should be resting or doing other sorts of work. Runes know that there's still a lot to do, with the last experiment delaying decisions on what to do with the tunnels, desert, and ruins. Or he should be recovering from the disturbing transformation into Yuber for the duration of a week.

But instead, Albert is visiting the horse he received as a 'gift' from the Malnosso; the little stable that Lloyd built is right beside his house. Passersby may either find him clearing snow from around the stable's entrance or grooming the mare.]

Current Mood: okay

This is...

[There's the sound of a book being dropped, then papers being scattered.]

...I am not amused.

[He curses at something not visible on the journal's little visual screen.]

Get off me, you-- Rune!

[ooc: Since runic legendary creatures (that is, the Rune incarnates) seemed a little ... out of his league, Albert's now a rather infamous ... person from his world.]

Current Mood: indescribable

[action]

[Albert is finally heeding his body's need for nourishment, going out to shop for groceries. He has a lot on his mind -- but really, when does he not?]

Current Mood: busy

This has been a rather boring passage of time. I can see why the others were eager to move on from this fort; there's not much here at all.

Noishe has been quiet since I began running a few experiments; he must not have--

[There some sounds of shifting in the sand, then boots on wood as Albert climbs a bit to higher ground.]

...Oh. Is that your group out there, Vyse? Welcome ba--

... ...

I think Noishe is running out to greet your group.

I see we have New Feathers once again. Welcome to your new home for an indeterminable amount of time. If you have any questions about your current surroundings, I am sure other prisoners here will be happy to supply you with answers.

...And welcome back, I suppose, Hiyono.

Current Mood: busy

Oh, for the love of--

Yuri Lowell. Vyse. Assemble your teams, on the double.

All residents, please refrain from putting yourselves into harm's way. Especially alone. We do not need to turn half the village into a rescue operation whenever new, controllable situations arise.

Flynn Scifo, I apologize for those who blatantly ignored your attempt at a public service announcement.

Added voice moments later:

I need materials to set up a safe way down into the sinkhole. Preferably a rope ladder.

Current Mood: aggravated

Current Mood: busy

[There's the sounds of papers being shuffled and stuffed into a backpack.]

This is terrible. Professor, I'm sorry for the delay, but-- ugh.

[Guess whose house got caught on fire? :( Raine and Ukitake are with him in his house at the moment, at least.]

Current Mood: frustrated

I suggest that everyone in the vicinity of the forest beware a new ... resident who has appeared out there. He has a large pumpkin for a head, and will offer pumpkin pie.

I'm not sure what will happen if you accept his offering, but declining apparently comes with a price.

...The pumpkin man took my coat. My coat.

Current Mood: disbelieving

Hauntings. How quaint.

What do they hope to instill in us by showing us ghosts of the past? They already bring in choice people, regardless of being living or dead, whenever the New Feather cycle comes around.

Weakening mental defenses seems to be the simplest logic to follow. But for what reason? Perhaps this is only the beginning of something else?

But there are still a week's worth of these disturbances. It would be best to get used to this.

Current Mood: indifferent

[action]

[Albert sits on a bench in the fountain plaza, his expression closed. He looks pale from his time spent indoors nowadays. In fact, he looks rather numb, just sitting there with his journal.]

Current Mood: emotionless

[General population filter // 50% unhackable]

Significant return of powers. Extension of the barrier. The return of infinite food supplies and other materials. New Feathers continuing to appear. Experiments.

The Malnosso must be confident in their ability to keep us contained with half of our powers diminished.

[There's the faint sound of fingers drumming on a tabletop.]

[ooc: If I have inadvertedly put you into an uncomfortable interaction situation (e.g., playercest), please tell me so I can shift some things around.

...Consider anything in this post backlogged while I am away for half the day. u_u I'll reply when I get back in.]

Current Mood: indifferent

( Private to self // unhackable )

Everyone, please don't do anything rash.

Now more than ever, we need to be united in our information resources and our planning. I'm already hearing the din of chaos around me; people are panicking.

Yes, the sky has gone red.

Yes, residents may in fact have their powers back.

...Yes, the Filial wings are still there.

Professor Raine. Vyse. Watari. Mark. General Sephiroth.

Anyone who is thinking enough not to run off recklessly.

We meet to hold a meeting. Now.

I will be in the schoolhouse. Please respond with what you've seen and what you can offer in terms of assistance.

[ooc: ...For the sake of my sanity, the meeting isn't going to actually happen separately from this entry. Hopefully I can be coherent enough to come up with more plans.]

Current Mood: restless

[There is only uneven rasping and the sound of scrounging at sand and gravel. The words whispered are barely picked up by the journal.]

Caes... Cae-- sar...

...Rune...

[The voice completely fades after that, replaced by very labored, ragged breathing.]

(ooc: Albert's been returned by the Malnosso so he has more time to recover from his wounds. Anyone who finds him may notice a bloody bandage and gauze wrapped around his head and arms. He's unhealthily pale and sick from the different experiments done on him, too.)

Current Mood: tired

( [Written // Filtered // 60% hackable to Caesar -- 1% hackable anyone else] )

[voice/action]

What was--

...Again. I see how it is.

This makes us even, Sheena.

[There's the sound of glass hitting glass as Albert hurls his cup through the window.]

Go.

[There's the faint sound of fluttering wings, and the sounds grow fainter and fainter as the journal is flown away.

The chaos in the room isn't recorded. But the sear marks on the walls and blasted furniture can be seen as plain as day.]

[ooc: Albert's being kidnapped right now so I don't have my characters disappearing at the same time while I'm on hiatus. Some might see and run into a tiny owl flying around carrying a journal, but it's going to ultimately disappear with the book.]

Current Mood: resigned

June 27. Just in case anyone is paying attention to the calendar I put together.

Caesar, I will be out. The owl is coming with me whether I like it or not, apparently.

Professor Raine, are you ready to go?

Current Mood: calm

( [Private to Sheena] )

I'd like to speak to anyone that knows how to reinforce buildings. And anyone that has ideas on how to prepare for bad weather, start preparing. Now.

Current Mood: blank

Haha... Hahaha...

[ooc: Beware. Depending on his now unstable mood and your relation to him, Albert may summon something to attack you.]

Approximate usual day of experiments: Wednesday
Average duration: 7 days (1 week)
Average frequency: Every 2 weeks
New Feather cycle: First 15 days of month (15 days on, 15 days off)

Current Mood: contemplative

I think I'll appreciate writing a little more now. It's annoying talking into the journal when you have no one in particular you're speaking to.

Like clockwork, the Malnosso have brought in more specimens. A noticeably rowdier group than usual, for that matter. Try not to get yourselves killed so quickly; there are dire consequences for dying around here, and the Malnosso have no problem taking things important to you.

I'd like to ask if people here have instituted a calendar without the majority letting us know. I realize that there are extremely different ideas of a calendar here, but I think we can agree that the arrival of newcomers marks the beginning of a new "cycle." Having a calendar we agree on would allow ease of noticing temporal patterns in the experiments, and give us a more structured approach to planning patrols and the like.

This may seem like an incredibly unnecessary idea to some of you, but believe me when I say your perception of time is very different when a week is five days to you versus seven, or even thirteen, days. I come from a world where the calendar has 5 days to a week, 30 days to a month, and 360 days to a year. The idea of an experiment lasting seven days didn't make much sense to me until I noticed some referring to seven days as a week.

Opinions, if you will. I'd like to have people's thoughts on the matter.

And Caesar, I want to talk to you.

Current Mood: working

[Thick, rasping breaths can be heard over the sound of pages being turned. The voice heard sounds hollow and weary.]

...four...five...six...seven...eight...nine......ten...

[A few moments pass before the voice continues, flat and cold.]

In the process of...three days, we've lost 10% of the population to this sickness. Roughly 40% of those actively...using their journals have the sickness, and all-- all are affected by what's going on at some level.

The method of contagion is still unknown. Contact with those affected doesn't seem...to lead to infection in every case, but it's hard to tell without a full consensus of the Filial.

This is believed to be an experiment, and...the supporting evidence would be the Malnosso...not reanimating those that have died. A severe hypothesis would be that subjects are being systematically culled...but the Malnosso continue abductions and returning those that have been abducted.

We may...have to wait several days, when the experiments have traditionally ended, to see what...becomes of those killed... To see if this is in fact an experiment.

Four days... In which, based on current count, we potentially will have lost 25% of the population.

Current Mood: discontent

[There's a series of weak, hollow coughs, followed by dry swallowing sounds.]

Hot... It's so hot. Nngh... The healing-- it didn't help... It still hurts.

Caesar, I need ... water.

What's happening to me?

[ooc: Advancement of the virus. Thought it would make sense if he's the first to get worse -- weakened immune system + recent injuries + fatigue = quicker succumbing to symptoms.]

Current Mood: sick
