1. I've noticed a little rodent has invaded the castle recently. Maybe it was a fox? Whatever it was, I thought it best to deal with the matter before it became a bigger problem. Isn't that nice of me? I had Cray set up no less than 500 land mines strategically around the castle grounds. It might be double that? I can't keep track of these things when I buy in bulk you know. Sure it poses a slight threat to people too but think of it like a game? You go out to buy fish badge for someone special and you end up with 20 potions for the return trip. ¬¬ Life's just full of surprises isn't it? Oh! There goes another one .

2. Caesar's been distressingly absent lately. I wonder if he noticed that Cornflake has escaped? That snake has gotten pretty big now... which makes me wonder how successful the training was when we first got him? How many cats are around the castle these days? I can think of at least three or four. Sivart looks awfully lonely now.

3. I've got this extra rune lying around in my room. It fell out of a palm tree while Albert and Troy were playing the survival game on that deserted island we were on vacation. I have no reason to equip such a thing... I thought that maybe Hervey could use something like this though. But the poor dear avoids me like the plague *smirk*

Pi. I also wonder how hard it would be to filter hetracil into the drinking water? That lawsuit is a goldmine just waiting to happen. Where are my lackey's when I need them? Odds are, Troy has to pick up his vinyl thong sooner or later or I keep making these unbased insinuations about him *smile*

It's probably a good thing that I don't need to worry about Colton stupidly moving on his own right now.

Lets go Troy, I still need to inspect your luggage before we leave.

Someone in this castle needs to come to terms with their sexuality. And it may or may not be a certain idiot pirate named Hervey.

Now where did my Cabana boy go? ¬¬ I need to strike a deal with the third pansy of the Adonis trio eventually. Though if Lucas someone presents a better offer I'd be more than willing to consider.

So I returned to my room this evening to find that Cage-san had committed seppuku.

...

Don't ask. Just don't.

...

I've taken care off it's remains and dumped it down the elevator shaft.

...

So the if the elevator doesn't work for an extended period of time, that would be why.

Somehow Cage-san managed to take the schooners hats of that assinine bishop and his father(?) down with it. I sincerely hope no one needed those.

I need a vacation.

Google doesn't lie.

But it's not long before it fails me.

This is quickly remedied.

Just to clear one more thing up.

Before anyone asks ¬¬ Yes I'm slightly inebriated... for once! But I can still out drink you even now. You're all more than welcome to come up with your own... if it amuses me I might be tempted to finish this bottle before throwing it at you.

I'd like to say I'll write something productive eventually but I'm already lying.

[OOC: Four am inspiration... XD; don't hurt me. ]

I've been seeing far too much of Vinay del Zexay lately ¬¬ This time, however, it was more a matter of business. I needed to blackmail persuade those idiots known as a coucil to okay a certain project I've been working on. Needless to say my endeavours proved very successful. Securing a place toward the head of their blacklist was a personal victory. I will be moving foreward with my plans... but I still need to give Yun the master list. So I guess for the time being, anyone involved with the plot may see me for their individual assignments with next to no concerns about coming face to face with a .22.

While abroad I also checked on the status of a ship I'm intested in. I was surprised to find it was even a Six Mast, however it's been updated with all the modern advances since their time. It's nice to know not every art from our time is in danger of being lost ¬¬

I was met with even more surprise upon returning, concerning Colton. Apparently his selfish diversion has escalated into a much greater threat than what I first percieved as almost harmless marauding. On one hand I'm actually a bit concerned... on the other hand it would be a waste alot of planning and I really don't have anything to loose when you consider how I've already set myself against the target for my own means. Still... this feeling of unease disconcerts me.

Agnes... I think I have a job for you.

[OOC: :D Yay for being vague and too busy to keep up with all this. I figured I'd just clarify that Elenor is refering to the mafia in the first paragraph. I thought I should actually move forward with this idea... I'm sorry that due to time constraints and that elusive mental state known as real life I haven't been able to rp with everyone who's expressed an interest in participating but if anyone out there wants to I'm rarely opposed to procrastination rp. That aside, I will try working the details this week :D;;]

Caesar just doesn't know when to shut up. So I've tied him to a chair and duct taped his mouth shut. Then placed said chair in front of Cage-san. The whining and crying is quite a bit more musical, considering it's still his vocal cords vibrating.

Apparently the long await expedition for little Daisy's life has finally been dated. I still plan on attending. I need the tentacles. I could blackmail enlist Aldo again... but I fear he might attach himself to even more annoying host bodies. Can't complain. At least something besides the generic soap opera is happening in this dump.

...Or not.

I guess I'm the last one to write about this so it's old news by now but it seems a little family vacation plus is in order. I had not even realize a sort of "tradition" was already in place but it's not like I'll expect this of Albert and Caesar in the future... the time just seems right as it is now. Of course this is not completely about them either. Which is why I invited Cray along since I don't think I could face that country... or Julien by myself.

...

Anyway. I'll be gone for the better part of a week with my hostages. ¬¬ Any one makes a crack about the circumstances and you can bet I'll rip them a new hole on return.

[OOC: XD Yay I procrastinate way too much. Oh well I'm off to the great white northern with our mod-tachi to plot angst, watch movies, play games, cosplay, poke more fun at Canada(<3) and partake in good, clean(hopefully) convention fun. As it stands, my bi-polar stalker doesn't feel like being a muse right now but he's spontaneously running off to find Hix to account for his abscense. You may or may not get a post out of him in another twelve hours or so >>;;; Off to finish becoming Elenor now *ha still not done*]

My little entourage has returned from the Island Nations. I'm actually glad I let Shu and Yun come along. They really were a big help with the two pets. Hiding bodies is far more trouble than it's worth, after all.

Not that much has changed in a century in and a half, not that I was expecting more. By not much I mean, they still run on trade and fishing alone. I question the future of such an economy but it's worked for over a century, and I'm sure it'll continue for the next hundred years just to spite me too. Obel really seems to have prospered quite a bit ever since founding the group and Razril has grown quite independant of Gaien. Somehow... the Reinbach family still runs Middleport. I didn't ask. I didn't want to know. And apparently Aldo is alleric to a certain variety of cats. He didn't like Nay very much >)

I spent the most time scrounging around my old settling and the pirates nest. Potchi was still there much to my delight. I think he even recognized me. I also cleaned out my entire supply of liquor. Most of the white wine had peaked long ago but the rest of it is in impecable shape. I split the collection with Shu since he volunteered to oversee it's safe passage back home. Kika dear, I think a number of these bottles have your name on them too.

Speaking of which, the nest was and interesting scene too. It's become a bit of a legend since that war. Not that Edgar and his right hand "man" hadn't already made that band of pirate's infamous. But just the way people talk is different that you'd expect. It's deserted now; don't act so suprised. Nearly spotless too. Well... of anything valuble. A few dusty, empty treasure chests furnish the master bedroom. I searched the place thoroughly but I know Kika. She could hide the heart of the sea with a thimble and a toothpick and no one would be the wiser ¬¬

Still, overall it was a productive and suprisingly interesting trip. I almost regret leaving. No... I do regret it, but there's no life to be found there... which is exactly how I ended up on that island in the first place... But that's not something I'm at liberty to share much more of. And I'm wasting time... so many people to bother, so little time. If anyone needs me, just look for Hervey.

[OOC: ¬¬ I don't like the nations anymore... 150 years is too long to make up a history that technically governs a fourth of the characters. I tried to be sorta vague yet logical :\ if it's a problem I'll edit stuff out]
