[muttering and something that sounds like "Stupid castle" and "Who even cares about that?"]

[dictated, slightly pained;]

Not trying to kill the 'Christmas Spirit' or anything but...

How much does this castle know about it's individual residents anyway? Or is it just good at guessing?


[ooc: in the first two episodes of ZL, Shito gets his arm chopped off. As that is absolutely tasteless, instead, he shall be unable to feel/move/use his right arm and is bleeding from the shoulder. It'll be back to normal in two hours.]

I don't know. If it turned me into a cat, of all things and colors... Why?

[a pause for thought]

[Shito]

What's wr— [and he catches himself — lol, perpetual cycle]

Please don't say that "it's nothing".

[Dictated]

[xxice-bullet.livejournal.com]

I should have figured... Just wondering about it. What with all the things that have happened here.

[Elk;]

[an amused noise that stops abruptly]

Something from before came up.

[Shito]

[repthplease.livejournal.com]

[well, this is a different start]

"Something from before"?

[Elk;]

[xxice-bullet.livejournal.com]

[change is good for you]

Before I got here. Just a leftover from a job Akatsuki and I took.

[Shito]

[repthplease.livejournal.com]

[very faint concerned/worried noise]

...Does it hurt a lot? [awkward muttering] If it does—

[Elk;]

[xxice-bullet.livejournal.com]

Don't waste your energy on something like this.

[Shito]

[repthplease.livejournal.com]

[silent paranoia]

I haven't used my magic s— It's fine.

[Elk;]

[xxice-bullet.livejournal.com]

[a pause]

I'll be fine. I won't die so easily.

[Shito]

[repthplease.livejournal.com]

[Now he thinks he's just bugging Shito if he presses the matter further.]

Okay.

[Elk;]

[xxice-bullet.livejournal.com]

[a pointed stare at the journal]

On another note, how have you been?

[Shito]

[repthplease.livejournal.com]

[pause...]

Okay, I guess. Sonic's still teaching me how to play the piano, and yesterday someone showed me some Blitzball moves at the pool.

[Elk;]

[xxice-bullet.livejournal.com]

Hm~

[Shito]

[repthplease.livejournal.com]

[There's another pause where he's just thinking, smiling sadly to himself.]

...I'm doing stuff here I never would have done in Japan. One thing I don't hate about this castle.

[Elk;]

[xxice-bullet.livejournal.com]

Then perhaps this place isn't all bad. If you're still enjoying yourself.

[Shito]

[repthplease.livejournal.com]

Coming from someone who said they hated it.

I...don't know. Sometimes it's nice, but the jungle and plague wasn't.

And I still...

[Elk;]

[xxice-bullet.livejournal.com]

It isn't all bad. It's not right, but there are good points.

You miss that person from your World, don't you?

[Shito]

[repthplease.livejournal.com]

[there's a sound of affirmation, because he'd be embarrassed to really say anything]

I wish Mia would come to Paradisa instead of me going back.

['So that I won't have to lose anyone.']

[Elk;]

[xxice-bullet.livejournal.com]

You never know, maybe the castle will let her come here.

so long as that bastard doesn't come either. [gone]

[Shito]

[repthplease.livejournal.com]

I hope so. It's just the bad stuff I don't want her to go through, like we did.

['Or if her loss becomes...']

[Elk;]

[xxice-bullet.livejournal.com]

hm...

[Shito]

[repthplease.livejournal.com]

Hn.

[He draws a stick!Shito wearing a Santa hat. For lulz.]

[Elk;]

[xxice-bullet.livejournal.com]

[reindeer hat!Elk to counter]

[Shito]

[repthplease.livejournal.com]

[A pause to stare at it, then,]

Hey, that's not funny!

[But he's laughing as he says it, so it obviously is.]

[Elk;]

[xxice-bullet.livejournal.com]

You seem to think it is.

[Shito]

[repthplease.livejournal.com]

[trying to quell his laughter] N-no I don't!

[this would be a doodle of a reindeerhat!Elk biting the end of Shito's Santa hat]

[Elk;]

[xxice-bullet.livejournal.com]

[a soft laugh]

[Shito]

[repthplease.livejournal.com]

[he's tapping at the doodle as he quiets down, now just smiling a little]

Don't go through any losses where you turn into a Christmas character. Like those...other people in the castle. [He's drawing a candy cane into stick!Shito's hand, ironically, of the arm that would be hurting right now.] That would be too weird. Like Halloween.

[Elk;]

[xxice-bullet.livejournal.com]

Heh, I don't think the castle will do that to me right now.

[an amused hm] I would hope we would not get caught up in those holiday related events.

[Shito]

[repthplease.livejournal.com]

Good.

I hope so, too. But... was it just me, or was it getting colder today?

[Elk;]

[xxice-bullet.livejournal.com]

It seems everyone's noticed the temperature drop.

[Shito]

[repthplease.livejournal.com]

Mm. But I thought that the weather never — changed....

[Shito]

[repthplease.livejournal.com]

...here.

[Elk;]

[xxice-bullet.livejournal.com]

...?

[Shito]

[repthplease.livejournal.com]

[There's a long pause, accompanied by the sound of shifting and footsteps as Elk moves in his room.]

...Look outside your window.

[Elk;]

[xxice-bullet.livejournal.com]

[a partner pause]

Heh. Looks like we'll be getting the snow everyone wanted after all.

[Shito]

[repthplease.livejournal.com]

[He's smiling while looking out the window. Just a little.]

Hn...

[This would be the sound of Elk tucking away his journal, later followed by his door being opened up.]

[Elk;]

[xxice-bullet.livejournal.com]

[a soft smile, he's not joining in yet]

[moneyislife.livejournal.com]

Why?

[xxice-bullet.livejournal.com]

Just wondering.

[moneyislife.livejournal.com]

You make it sound like you have a stalker.

[xxice-bullet.livejournal.com]

That would be because I do, idiot [gone]

Do I now? And how exactly did I do that?

[moneyislife.livejournal.com]

I don't know, the sudden interest?

[xxice-bullet.livejournal.com]

You power of observation astounds me sometimes, Akatsuki.

[moneyislife.livejournal.com]

Sometimes? More like all the time.

Heh, did you notice that there's an onsen that opened up?

[xxice-bullet.livejournal.com]

... Whatever you say idiot.

I heard about it... Hopefully it's better than the other onsen we went to.

[moneyislife.livejournal.com]

Hey, want to go try it?

Knowing this place, I wouldn't be surprised if there was some wolf-thing running around like last time.
