This castle has proven to be...unique. The way it draws people from various worlds merits some form of research, though I doubt that I would make much progress, considering the low likelihood of the more experienced residents knowing much beyond the locations of various rooms, the now damaged town, the forest, and the 'loss' ordeal. The latter does explain why I have such a large gap within my memories. Still, I find it hard to believe that I was ever part of an "Organization", though that may explain the cloak. As for the name "Zexion", I still haven't a clue why I've chosen such a title... Then there's the fact that I've somehow become whole once more. Strange, but, at this rate, I'm honestly not surprised.

Regardless, I suppose it's best not to dwell on such issues. It's doubtful that I'll be getting any straight answers, though there is one thing that I have been curious about. Namely, how often do disasters occur, such as that "Demon" attack?

This place is just all fucked up. Never know what's next.

[smellsyouall.livejournal.com]

Really now? Well, better to be unpredictable than mundane. Given the amount of scents, not to mention entries in this journal, I suppose the population is rather large as well?

[so-many-needs.livejournal.com]

It fluctuates. The castle residents seem special, though. All the surrounding folks are just regular humans.

[smellsyouall.livejournal.com]

Ah, so only those within the castle possess any unusual traits. Does this mean that only the outsiders would suffer 'losses'?

[so-many-needs.livejournal.com]

So it would seem. I never see the citizens use this journal system, either.

[smellsyouall.livejournal.com]

Perhaps they simply don't need to. Nonetheless, observing the citizens themselves could be unique, to say the least...

[so-many-needs.livejournal.com]

Why? They seem so boring.

[smellsyouall.livejournal.com]

It could serve as a basis of comparison, really.

[perfectlikeme.livejournal.com]

Depends on what you wanna call a 'disaster', but~ something big seems to happen every couple of weeks or so. ♥

[smellsyouall.livejournal.com]

True. The term "disaster" is relative. Perhaps I should have used different phrasing. Nonetheless, that is something I'll have to keep in mind; keeping a record of notable events may be worthwhile in the long run, if only for the sake of organization.

[perfectlikeme.livejournal.com]

It's not a bad idea.

If there's anything more you need to know, I suppose I could try to help you~

[smellsyouall.livejournal.com]

Indeed. Has anyone attempted to keep a record here prior to my own attempt?

Hm... well, there isn't much that I haven't read, though I've noticed people mentioning losses of a temporary sort... how often do these occur, and is there a set pattern?

[perfectlikeme.livejournal.com]

If you read back far enough, you'll find records that some others have attempted... or at least, you should. I'd guess pages of information can disappear after a while, considering the sheer amount of entries in here.

Temporary losses seem to come in surges after big events, and they last a few days.

[smellsyouall.livejournal.com]

Frankly, I've been reading through this journal very thoroughly, and there still is much that I've yet to uncover. Still, if I stumble across old records, I'll be sure to at least mark the particular pages for further reference.

As for the aforementioned losses, one more thing that I'd like to know is this; is there a set template for each loss, or do they also vary, much like the initial loss?

[perfectlikeme.livejournal.com]

I'd copy those records down, if I were you. Things are prone to disappearing in this place~

A template, you say?

[greenintights.livejournal.com]

Are you okay?

[smellsyouall.livejournal.com]

I'm well enough. More or less, I'm still adjusting to the present situation.

[greenintights.livejournal.com]

You sure? You don't sound too happy.

[smellsyouall.livejournal.com]

Prior to my arrival, I was incapable of emotions. Heart or not, it's a rather large adjustment.

[greenintights.livejournal.com]

Are you ... a robot?

[smellsyouall.livejournal.com]

No. I am human, but for quite some time I was without a heart, a Nobody, in other words.

[greenintights.livejournal.com]

What? How can you be a human without a heart? That's not possible, unless the meaning of human has changed. =/

[smellsyouall.livejournal.com]

Nobodies aren't necessarily humans; they are the body and soul of an individual, but they lack the heart, thus cannot feel, let alone age (bar a few exceptions), or truly exist. They are beings of naught, shunned by both light and darkness.

However, as I've been given a heart by this castle, I'm no longer one, evidently.

[greenintights.livejournal.com]

I see. This sounds very similar to a gigai, but gigai can feel.
