The Dark Prince's Journal

[Lelouch, in his Zero outfit (that he never could find it in him to discard), is standing upon the rooftop of the Ari Apartments. When he sees someone walk up to or from the apartment, he announces loudly for all who care to listen...]]

Hear me members of Memento Eden for I am...

ZERO!!!

I have been observing this island for a while now and the state of it leaves me in sorrow. How is it that we can so easily accept having our memories stolen from us and forced to live here? How is it that we that no one here has openly tried to rebel? Just as there is a way to arrive, there must be a way out of this place. The disappearances and returns prove it!

Therefore, I've decided that it is time for a change. No more shall I just sit back and live in ignorance as this island has it's way. No more shall I allow Memento Eden to unfairly subject us to it's mind games and oppress its people. If we wish to change this world, then we must fight in order to do so.

Join me citizens of Memento Eden and together we shall conquer our enemies. Together we shall show Mayor Ari or anyone else, that it's us whom are really in charge of this island!

Let our purpose be known! All those with power, fear me! All those without power, seek me! For I, Zero, will free us all and send you back to your own world!


[[ooc: So Lelouch is in "Zero" mode...but on crack or something. So yes, feel free to question, make fun of, use your god mod powers to reveal who he is, or even confront him. Just know that he might geass you if you piss him off. Nothing too bad though, but you might find that you can't speak for the rest of the event or find yourself jumping in the lake...of course you can always godmod your way out of it too XD.]]

I quit my job as a waiter. It was a decent job, but I found another one that I prefered and would suit me better. I applied as a Librarian's aid and I got the job. Although, with all that money I have, I could have just stopped working and I would have survived just fine. In fact, maybe I should use some of it to spend some time at the Onsen. I've never been to it before and I think it's opened all year...isn't it? I guess I'll have to look into it and see the prices. If it is opened though, would anyone like to go with me? Perhaps not this month, but whenever the weather decides to heat up a bit? I'll even pay half of whatever it costs you to get in.

[/private]


It looks like I have a new roommate. According to the apartment listing, his name is...Soul? I suppose I'll find out what kind of person he is when I meet him.

I apologize for the late response, but better late than never right? Kallen, Suzaku, and Hayate, thank you for my gifts. I truly appreciate them and I'll put them to good use. Ah, did you recieved your gifts that I placed under the tree from me? It wasn't much, but I hope you liked them.

Euphie, I remembered  something about you. it isn't much, but we did know each other when we were younger and I believe we might have even been related. I'm not sure about this, but I do know that you are a princess as well. That and you have an older sister named Cornelia..

[/Filtered]


Hmm...I think I'm going to change jobs. Working at the restaurant has been nice, but a lot more jobs have opened since I first took the job. I think I would enjoy working as something I'd be good at than at the restaurant.



[[OOC: Euphie and Hayate mun. Lelouch bought their gifts late and let's say he personally delivered their gifts to apologize for the lateness. Mods, please deduct $25 for a necklace he bought as a late gift for Euphie and $10 for a box of chocolates and candy for Hayate.

Are pets allowed in the apartments?

I was given a...turtle in exchange for a turkey during that event. I'm not entirely sure what to do with it other than keep it. I could let it go if they aren't allowed, but would it survive on it's own? Either way, I suppose I'll have to stop by the library and read some books on them....Although, it so strange looking, I wonder if it's even a normal turtle at all.



[[OOC: First of all, Mods please deduct about $100 for the picnic Lelouch had with the rest of the Geass cast, if something wasn't already deducted without me knowing. Also, please deduct about $10 for pet food that Lelouch bought the turtle in the meantime while he figures out if that's what it realy needs.

Next, this is concerning the Geass. Lelouch will be at the library to look at books on turtles, but he will be also testing his power on people there. So...If you want your character to be Geassed, feel free to interact with him and choose one of the following oocly:

*Walk across the library while balancing 3 books on their head.
*Come to the library and fold a single page from a certain book every day.
*Be asked to say their biggest secret and then be asked to pat their head while rubbing their stomach. 
*Be asked to do something that your character cannot do, like juggle or a back flip. You can choose.

Also, If you want to know more about how the geass works, you can read about it on Lelouch's profile.

Memories used= 2% from the Turkey event]]

He's gone. Rollo's things have disappeared, his name isn't on the listing anymore, and I haven't seen him around. Maybe it's a good thing since he couldn't be trusted, but...

That means my room is open to have another person now. Thinking about it, that's the second roommate I've had disappeared on me. I don't understand it. Why them and not me? Well, according to someone, I came and left only to be brought back again but...How does this place decide on who gets to go and who stays? Is it really as random as we make it to believe? I wonder...but I doubt I or anyone will ever get any answers.

[Private]

If all of these turkeys are a part of this place's new event, this has got to be one of the strangest ones yet. Going outside and walking around becomes a pain after a while because they're all over the place and pecking at you. Also, at work the birds keep coming in and it's bothersome having to chase them out all the time. If that keeps up, I have a feeling our restaurant will be changing it's menu really soon.

It's been a while since I've updated this, hasn't it? I suppose you could say I haven't been feeling well lately. I wasn't sick, but more like I've just had a lot of things on my mind lately. I've been spending more time reading books at the library to help ease my thoughts and it seems to be working. I've checked out a few interesting ones, and the one I've been looking at recently explains the rules and strategies of playing a game called "chess".

Does anyone own a board or know how to play? I'd like to give it a try if anyone is willing to play against a beginner like me.

I heard that there was a party at the onsen, did any of you go? I couldn't make it, but it gave me an idea that I had been considering for a while anyways. Perhaps all of us from our world should get together and do something this week? As for what, the only thing that comes to mind is a picnic by the lake. If any of you can come up with something better though, then we can do that instead.

I-I can't believe it. Why? Out of all the things that this island could do to us, did it really have to make us swtich genders!? Waking up to this yesterday was horrible and today wasn't any better. I had hoped that this would only last a day, like the pirate event, but I should of known....

Even if it takes a week, I'm not leaving this room until I'm back to normal. I'll find a way around getting food, but I can't go to work looking like this! The changes are not that significant except for my voice, length in hair...but none of my pants fit anymore and....damn it! I want this event to be over already.

...Would anyone be willing to go out and buy me some clothes?



[ooc: 2% on some memories of the student council 1% on the time he used to live at Ashford with C.C.  3% used 4% in total]

The day before yesterday was pretty amusing, getting to hearing everyone speak with a pirate accent. I was affected as well, which wasn't so great, but it could of been worse.

Rollo decided to move in with me the other day. I don't know him that well, but I think it'll be nice to have someone to talk to when I come home from work for once. I just hope he wont mind that I'm a bit of "clean freak" and dislike having a messy room. Heh, If anything it'll be a new and interesting experience to say the least.

Suzaku, have you heard from Euphie since I last spoke to you? She never responded to my last post and you are her only other friend I know so...I was just curious.

[filtered to Euphemia]

Euphie, I didn't hear from you in my last post or haven't seen you in a while. Are you alright? I remember that you told me that I could visit you anytime, or something like that, so I'll be stopping by after work today. I just wanted to warn you in advance, because I don't mean to bother you if you've been busy or anything, but I can't help but feel a bit worried.

[[OOC: Forgetful mun is forgetful. Mods, Rollo will be now moving in with Lelouch, with Rollo-mun's permission. BTW, I am aware that Euhpie mun is on haitus, so I'm not expecting her to respond.]]

I just came back from looking at the apartment listing downstairs. It appears as though this island took notice that my roommate hadn't been around much since I arrived and decided to remove him from the list. My question, to any of you here who knew him, is what kind of person was this Dino? When was that last time he or any of these people were seen? Did this person have any ties with the others who vanished from this place? I...The people disappearing...they can't just be at random can they? There has to be a reason why, right?

[Private]
I know it. I know there has to be some connection between them...some sort of clue that will help the rest of us escape. This place is just doing a really good job of hiding it from us, but they have to slip up sometime. Everything has a weakness and I'm going to find this place's one, powerless or not. So mark my words Memento Eden, I will find a way out of here with all of my memories returned!

[/Private]

Euphie, Suzaku, I haven't heard from you both in a while. Are you both doing alright? Perhaps we should get together and do something sometime?

[Private and very unhackable]
I-I became affected by this island's personality curse...and Haruhi and I...well we discussed it already and we agreed to forget it but still!  
Not only that, but I started a basketball team too?What was I thinking!? I know I had no control over my actions but, what am I supposed to tell everyone on the team now?

I have to think this through. I could always not show up for practice...no it would only make things worse and they would find me eventually. I can't just keep pretending to know how to play either because they'll find out eventually that I'm a fake as well. 

...Should I reveal the truth? I..It looks like I have no other choice!
[/Private]

 Attention all basketball team members! As your Team captain, I have an announcement to make:

I've decided that instead of being on the team you have proven to me that you can win any game without me. So instead of being your captain I, Lelouch, shall be your coach and pass on my position to Kukai.  Of course, it's up to you if you want to take my position or just assign it to someone else if you desire. Anyways, I apoloize for renouncing my position all of a sudden, but I have decided that it is best for the team. In fact, I trust in the team's abilities so much that you might not even need me at all. Of course, I would never want to abandon the team, so I'll make sure to be at the game in a few days and help to the best of my abilities.

[Filtered to Kukai]

I'd like to speak to you in private if I could. There's something I'd like to discuss about why I've made you captain that I hope you'll understand.

[/filtered]

[Filtered to Euphie, Suzaku, and Rollo]

It appears as if I was among those affected this time. I'm aware that I spoke to all of you and I'm not sure if you were entirely yourselves or not, but I apologize if for my behavior to each of you. I hope I didn't offend you with anything I said or done.

[Private, hackable if one really tries]
Man, I so totally scored last night on my date with Haruhi. I mean, we didn't kiss or anything, but I can tell she's totally into me.  Everything was awesome and perfect from dinner to the boat ride. She was so cute in her sweet dress and the way she laughed at dinner...Man  I can't stop thinking about her...
[/Private]

Alright dudes, here's the list of everyone who made it into the team:

Tidus

Neku

Kukai

Lev
Hayate

Maya Fey

Welcome to the team guys...and chick...t looks like our goal of playing basketball is really starting to come together, but we still need 3 more people! We can't play with only one team of five! So come on guys, if you want to work out and look tough, be popular, and have all the chicks to dig you, then this is your only chance man! 

As for the team, we're going to meet up tomorrow at 7 in the park. I got the jerseys and you can pick what number you want to be and split you up into teams of two. Oh and prepare for the work out of your lives again. Out first game against ourselves is in a few day and I, and your assistant captain Kukai, don't think you losers are ready for it. I believe in you guys though because we're a team, a teammates hwlp each other out alright?

Now...what should our teams be called?

[Filtered to Haruhi]
Hey, there's some guy I talked to claiming to be your dad. Is that true? He says your mother is here too....I didn't know your whole family was here. Anyways, what are you doing later today? I want to see you...

[ooc: At this point Lelouch has taught the team the basics to the "best" of his abilities, comming up with excuses everytime he fails terribly at everything athletic that seem reasonable. Still, the team is free to question Lelouch and his abilities or position as captain and have their doubts. Muns, sorry to bother again but please deduct an italian dinner and boat ride for two from Lelouch's amount XD; I would guess an amount but I have no idea what the charges for a boat ride would be? ]

 This place sucks. Isn't there anything to do around here that isn't school or going to a stupid job? I want to work out man! Throw some shots! Catch some balls! 

....That's it! You know what this place needs guys? It's own sport man and you know what? I'm going to start it. That's right dudes.
I'm going to buy all the stuff and if any of you losers think you can make it into the team, then meet me at the park. I'll teach you how to play, but try outs are at 2:00, alright?






((ooc: Basically Lelouch has his game face on and is going to try starting a basketball team. So you'll find him failing terribly at making basketball shots in the park. Mods please remove the cost of a basket ball from Lelouch's account.))

 What!? This again!?

...Well, it's a good thing that I'm not affected this time either. I don't want to know what kind of person I would become, but if this continues, I might be next. Tch, and there's no way to stop it either. I'm glad that Euphie seems to be her normal self though, but what about you Rollo? Did you get dragged into this mess as well?

Last week was a peaceful week. I made a wish that hasn't come true and I doubt it ever will and worked. I didn't even get a chance to visit the festival even though most of the day it was slow. I would get off of work too exhausted to bother going...is that healthy? At first I blamed this apartment for having too many stairs, but it looks like everyone can make it to their floor just fine. As for myself,  I make it to my room out of breath. Not just everynow and then, but every single time! What's wrong with me?

That isn't the only surprise I've had this week. I went to the bank to see how much money I had made so far and I discovered that I have an extra $3,000 dollars that appeared of nowhere! What is the meaning of this? I don't remember earning this money or asking for it. Has this happened to anyone as well? 

Last but not least, I regained some memories of myself. Well, not exactly. I was a student at some school and in my memory I remember chasing something up some stairs with someone else. <s> I couldn't keep up with this guy either! Is my memory mocking me now!?</s> I don't recall any other details except that the person's name was Suzaku, Kururugi Suzaku and...I think we were friends...Euphie says that he's here, but I haven't seen him. I wonder if I should go look for him or wait until he or I remember more about each other. According to the apartment listing his room is on the 7th floor. A floor above my own...

Ah, Haruhi. I hope you enjoyed your meal the other day. It was a pleasure to serve you.

((OOC: EDIT: Since I was too brain dead when I did this post....mods please remove a meal's worth of money from Lelouch's account. Also, the money that Lelouch is talking about didn't come from nowhere. I asked the mods and they said it was okay if the old money that the Lelouch I was playing could be transfered to the new one. Sorry))

Looks like everyone is back to normal from their strange behavoir, but now something else has started in its place. The entire place has been decorated and a river just appeared out of nowhere not to mention, running in the middle of the town. Also, did anyone else find a stick with a paper expecting us to make a wish on it in their room? 


I got the job as a waiter and it's been keeping me preoccupied for the time being. The restuarant seems nice enough but the constant smell of seafood can get tiring after a while. I'm sure I'll get used to it soon and my boss. We didnt start on the right foot when I broke some of the dirty dishes the first day. I didn't expect the tray to be so heavy...

Oh and Haruhi, as a thanks for helping me find a job, I invite you to stop by anytime. Just ask for me and I'll give you your first meal on me. It's the least I could do.

Euphie, how are you doing? I hope you're doing well since you found your room. I apologize for making you wait so long at the restuarant while I worked. Even though I wasn't it late, I was still forced to clean the dishes in order to pay for your food, but did you at least get to enjoy the meal?

((OOC: Mods please remove about $30 from Lelouch's account...if he has one XD;;))
 

Does anybody here know about any jobs that are available? I'd like to get one that doesn't require much skill and involves a bit of social interaction if I can.

 Where –Where am I? Why was I just laying out here on the floor? 

...

I-I can’t remember anything…I can’t remember anything at all!

No. I need to calm down. There has to be a reasonable explanation for this…perhaps I was drugged and brought here…no. Why would someone go through all the trouble to leave me outside unharmed? This makes no sense at all…

Judging by my surroundings though, a lake and few buildings off in the distance, there must be people nearby.
It looks like I have no choice but to walk around and ask for more information…but first…What exactly am I wearing!?
Maybe I was kidnapped and forced to wear this for some reason, or is this supposed to be some kind of joke? Either way I will not accept being ridiculed! If find out who did this I’ll make them pay. Somehow…I swear it.

These clothes though, they're so hot and uncomfortable right now in this kind of weather. Maybe if I can at least take this helmet off…

…

…

!!

Why won’t this ridiculous thing come off!?
