Lesson of the Day - 150 - All Good Things....
To Self
I don't know if you'll ever find this or if there'll ever even be a me who needs to find it, but I remember the trouble I used to have with hacking and filters, so I'm leaving this unfiltered. It's kind of odd to be talking to a me who may have no memory of the city, but if someone's directed you to this journal than perhaps you can learn to not repeat the same mistakes of mine. I wish I'd made better notes of everything now, but the best I can do is open the journal completely.
There's a rather large account at the main bank in my name and Nanami's and Jowy's (hopefully he doesn't return during the war again) with all our past rainbow coins savings. And there's an apartment in room 460 of apartment building 11 that's been heavily warded by people I-- you used to trust. If anyone I once knew is still here, then you have friends. All you need to do is call out for them.
There's a dojo in Xanadu Gardens that used to be run by Nanami and I. Others run it now, but I'm sure you could work there again if you'd like. It's also been warded like the apartment. Otherwise I was once the Head of Special Assault in the city watch and there may still be people there to vouch for you.
My notes on exiting the city. Maybe you'll be able to make better sense of it than me. I still don't quite understand how I'm doing it now. But if you're from the same timeline as Nanami, perhaps it won't be so important to get out. Uh... do not try that group attempt the exact same way again. And don't mess with the timelines back home unless you really, really know what you're doing.
Don't trust the cursed food or anything that just suddenly appears. Especially if it's chocolate. Or cherries. Or candy. Or all the water's turned into alcohol again. Beware the cherry tree in Xanadu that always blooms. And always be careful around midnight, but don't start taking it for granted that everything will begin --or end-- then. You should try and find someone to back you up in case that inversion curse strikes and sends you running amok again. Don't aggravate the deities, but don't trust them either especially during deals... and don't accept everything as fated and unchangeable.
I suppose in the end all I can say is don't take the same path that I did. Don't let the anger and grief from the war and ... the betrayal... fester inside of you. Don't forget Tenzan Pass. And do your best to protect Nanami.
-Riou, 460 IS After the Fall of L'Renouille
Police Filter || Unhackable
As I'm sure that everyone knows, it's been quite a time of change and fluctuation lately. New people join and veterans inevitably leave. But the city watch has pulled through worse and will do so again.
Please give your support to the new co-chiefs of police Major General Armstrong and Colonel Mustang, the new Head of Special Tactics, Princess Cornelia li Britannia, and the new Head of Technology Iron Man.
I'm sure the city watch will prosper under their direction. I'll also be available for any help during this transition. For a little while, anyway. It's been an honor to work with all of you.
Hey, hey, it's a pretty nice day out. No curses! Anyone feel up to doing something?
[[ooc : Consider all deleted and private parts of Riou's journal to have been restored although I'm far too lazy to go back and edit the entries. Private filters to others (such as the police) remain intact, but everything else is now open.]]
