[The recording clicks on, prompted by Rei's ranting to no one in particular..perhaps to the (nonexistant) quintessential bartender, always lending their ear. Even inebriated, she's doing a good job of keeping up the male voice. ]

-- wasn't supposta be like this. You know? Its all dad's fault. Not like mom raised a finger to stop it or anything. Greedy bastards, all of them.. all of them.. especially him.

[Increasingly bitter] I just wasn't good enough for you, was I, otou-san? Well [Loud thud as Rei slams fist down] I'm so sorry that I couldn't be person you wanted. So terribly fucking sorry you had to go out of your way in order to screw me over to better suit your needs.

[A pause while she collects herself.] Che. At least you stopped with me. At least you left Mei out of this. Now that I'm gone, don't you dare do this to her. Leave her alone. She doesn't deserve... Mei doesn't..... She's brash and hardheaded, but she's still a very spirted young girl. She's just like...

[Her voice trails off, and the recording eventually times out and turns itself off.]

[ Charming laughter rises over the sound of female voices. ] Now, now ladies. No need to crowd. I'll be here all period.

[ ooc: Rei - the rich and popular pretty boy..arrogant as hell, to boot. That having been said, not much has changed...save she's probably going to flirt more than she did in the original games. Canonly, she lets all flirting come to her XDD Harharhar... tokimemo is pretty stereotypical already. ]

My roommate dissapeared. I guess I should be..grateful? Hmph. It's probably for the best that dope didn't get involved in this mess.

I hate dealing with this sort of thing, but I can't stand by and watch. I'll continue to look after and relocate the others. Let me know if I can be of assistance to you all otherwise.

This is a welcome reprieve from the other situations we've been put in. Perhaps this is their way of apologizing for all the trouble they've caused us lately. Well, whatever the case may be, there's nothing like a social gathering to lighten the mood. The presentation is rather lacking, but I have to applaud them for their efforts. It's also nice that I recieved some of my own clothing for the event, especially considering the complaints I've read from some others over the fashion sense dealt to them.

Hmm... It's been a while since I threw my last party, so my dancing skills are a bit rusty right now. No matter. I hope everyone is having an excellent time. I'll see you there.

( Private, moderately hackable )

[ ooc: lol canon formalwear. Rei is going to be, naturally, attending every day. Her outfits are gonna be random from these three, unless otherwise stated. ♥ ]

I found a few various items of little importance in my apartment when I returned from gathering food the other day. If this is the thief's way of apologizing, I'm not impressed.

I tossed them outside, if anyone is (for whatever reason) interested in them.


[ ooc: ...l-lol. I'm sorry, Agate. XD ]

For all intents and purposes, I'm going to pretend this last week didn't happen.

I suggest you all did the same.

What an goddamn embarrassment...

These fires have been a real pain in the ass. They're starting to die down... can I go back to my ugly little apartment already? I hate it out here. At least the flowers that showed up today are somewhat attractive.

( Private,Semi-hackable )

A-a-ahh! Fi-fire! All over the place...! What is going on?! I'm scared...


...

The only water I can think of is all the way at the beach and unless we formed a chain to pass buckets along, we'd never get enough there in time. if only I could move faster or was strong enough to carry several of them..

Does anybody know a closer water source? P-please...! We need everyone's help! I can't do this by myself...

GODDAMN THOSE FILTHY BIRDS!



....

A-ah! I'm.. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry!! That was rude of me. It's just that this curse is strange. I feel ... funny. I can't describe it. Lighthearted, maybe? I don't know. Please don't think too much of it, though. It's embarassing. Is everyone else doing alright?

Oh. And by the way; If it's not too much trouble, Thief-san, please return our belongings! We'd really appriciate it.


[ Nega*Rei is ridiculously insecure, polite, considerate and signifigantly more girly. She's probably still keeping up the male charade as best she can, but it's much much harder now XD ]

First order of business: Thank you for the food... Gintoki-san, was it? I really appriciate it. And.. I'm sorry about not being able to fufil my end of the bargain. I wasn't expecting my food to get stolen. I'll be sure to make it up to you somehow.

That having been said, let's move on to the second order of business: WHO THE HELL TOOK MY STUFF!? Someone broke into my window the other day and stole my food, as well as several of the gems I'd collected since I got here. Whoever you are, you've got some nerve to try and steal from the Ijuin family. Do you even have any clue who you're dealing with?!

Luckily for you, I'm nicer than my parents. I'm going to give you until Saturday evening to return them to me before I track you down and take them back by force... with your teeth as interest.


( Private, Semi-hackable )

(Sound of foot tapping impatiently, followed by pacing back and forth. It's a fair distance from the mic.)

Grr...

(The temper finally explodes. The speaker's voice is more girlish, as you'd expect from a young boy. However, since she's really a young girl, she's still faking it somewhat.)

SOTOI! Where is my lunch!? You're late!

It's already 2:30! Yukari-chan is coming over later so you better get it ready or else I'm going to tell otousan how imcomtepent you are and you'll get fired! And I have plenty to tell him about what you and the decorators did to my room during my nap, too!

(A long pause. then, even more impatiently)

....hurry up!



[ ooc: lol Rei's a little brat trap. Still need to draw her an icon. No memories of grown-up-ness, yadda yadda.]

It's gone now. Good riddance. That disrespectful little thing got on my nerves.

I heard that the first room on few of the other floors at the apartments were broken into. I don't really care as long as they don't have the idiotic nerve to come back a second time and target my window. But.. che. I suppose I hope that you all find your misplaced belongings.

(The egg's loud wailing is heard very close to the mic. There is the sound of footsteps and something brushing close by, as if picking up the noisy thing. Rei's voice is heard (her masculine one, mind you), gently.)

Ah....itsukaraka...konna omoi ni ha
Sotto kagi o kaketeta..kanawanu koto dakara

(The audibility varies slightly, as though the singer is moving to and fro about the room.)

Ah....jibun kara, ai to iu kotoba..
Tsugeru nante dekinai..memai ni..

(The egg's crying grows quieter.)

...

Asa ni nareba...hoshi mo kakureru....sousa...

(The crying has stopped completely. A soft chuckle. The recording cuts off.)

[ ooc: lawl one of Rei's image songs. Lyrics here if you care for them~ this actual song is more upbeat but shh not in this instance.)

What in the hell is this?! Is this their idea of a joke?

I hated Health class. It was so boring and tedious. Do you think you're funny for making me have to take it over again?! This thing is ruining my beauty rest!

Ugggh. I'm going to cook it if it doesn't stop screeching. Gren, was it? How do you like your eggs?

I found my way to the settlement so I have a place to stay now. I refused to even touch the huts that looked like a rainbow had vomited on them. The apartment complex right past it it is not attractive either, but at least it's colors don't make me want to pull my hair out.

Tch.

You know...all absurd science fiction cross-dimension travel talk aside (Ugh I sound like Himoo-san), this place seems pretty boring. Also? It reeks. I'm quickly growing to hate it. The "Hibou" things that run the show aren't helping any. At all.

On that note: Those of you who have been here for a while, tell me....what exactly are these Hibou capable of? I mean. What sort of things have they done in the past?

( Private (Hackable to those reasonably proficient at it~ ) )

I woke up in this absolutely trashy looking place. Actually, Never mind how preposterous it looks. What's more important is that I woke up in this absolutely trashy looking place completely covered in dirt. Whoever is responsible for this had better step forward and be ready to pay in full, with interest - I had this outfit custom ordered from Europe!

Ugh. To make matters worse, my school bag and everything I had in it are missing, too. At least there's a computer. The little thief who pulled this stunt better not have hopes of graduating any time soon, because once grandfather hears about this...hahaha..

Hmph.

....Somebody lend me their phone. I need call for my helicopter. I'm leaving.

[ ooc: Rei hasn't noticed her his animal features yet, ho ho ho. 8D ]
