IC journal entries outside of the network
Hidden under Maka's bed is a small black book. This is a diary journal that she's decided to keep so she can log her feelings about Vatheon and the occurrences therein.

Black☆Star and Kid are gone. They were sent back home,
I guess. They'll be okay...even if that means Kid's back
in the Book now, we're going to save him. Some part of me
feels like I should tell the truth about that book I checked
out, though, considering...
I'm getting better with flying. I don't get as tired out as I used
to and I think, in general, I've been able to wield Soul better too.
Maybe it's just all in my head.
It still feels like I could do better.

I experienced the first "curse" that Vatheon
inflicts on the visitors today. I'm told these curses
are caused by the coral we touch when we arrive. Who
knows why.
These strange bubbles are following after people displaying
their thoughts. Mine isn't like that for whatever reason;
it's taken the form of this orange little soul with a face.
Professor Stein says it's what my soul looks like seen
through Soul Perception.
It's kind of annoying. The thing makes stupid faces based
on my emotions and it glows constantly. At least
the fairies hanging around you cut off their light eventually.
It won't go away!
But...it's not as bad as it could be. I spent some time with
John earlier...he really needed a hug. Rose didn't seem to
want to talk much either, and Soul has that stupid demon outside
of his head.
...I should go to bed early. I need to talk with Soul tomorrow.

P.S. I met a troll today.
It doesn't seem like he lives under a bridge...
I think his horns would get in the way. They're really big.
Actually, he seems like he's really shy and nervous.
I felt terrible! It was probably because of all my
fussing about the weird soul bubble. So I talked to him for
a bit and I said that we should be friends.
Funny, I'm friends with a troll now. I wonder if there
are more trolls in Vatheon?

I talked to Soul.
He actually talked about how he was feeling. This might be progress?
It felt good.
Then we hugged and I sort of...fell asleep in his bed. Weird.
It's not a big deal, though, we're partners. It's been a long time
since that first incident. Luckily nobody made a big deal about it
when they found us like that the next morning.
I hope Soul feels better soon...he tried to act like my bubble was
somehow worse than his, but...

It might be too cold in the house, I've been having nightmares ever since I arrived.
Blades coming out of my body, blood everywhere, actually feeling the pain...it's really bizarre.
Almost like something was inside of me trying to claw its way out.
I can't imagine why I'd be having dreams like that.
Maybe it's being in Vatheon, ugh. All of this fish meat around, it's awful.
Touching the coral seems to renew your energy, though.
I feel like I just woke up from a really refreshing nap when I touch it...
I think I should start touching it more often.
It'd give me more time to get things done!
Speaking of, I should take a walk around and see what exactly this place has to offer.
Maybe Soul would want to come with so we could get a bird's eye view.

John's dad arrived today! I'm so happy for him, it must be lonely
without family members in a place like this.
Mr. Egbert seems like he really cares about John, too, it's nice...
At least some people actually act like dads these days.
But I have to admit, I sort of miss Papa right now.
Mr. Egbert called me a fine young lady. I really don't get it, first
it was John and Rose and now it's Mr. Egbert, there's nothing
really special about me.
Although there is still the soul-thing. Soul seems to clam up every
time I ask him about it. It's really annoying! Why does he have to
be such a pain all the time? He just tells me to stop thinking about
it and move on...maybe I'll just start looking for information on it
in the phasmology books. I'm sure there has to be something in
there. It'll give me something to focus on.

Dad is officially staying with us now!
Haha, it's kind of funny, I never thought I'd call someone "dad"
but it feels right with Mr. Egbert. He's a really great dad and...
and he says he's proud of me. I think I might be getting used to
doing things to make someone that's actually around me proud.
It feels good, even with the stupid Death Scythe thing to think about.
I keep saying I feel like I can do better with that, well, I will do
better with that. No more worrying, I need to have courage and get stronger!

Memo: Touch the coral!
I think I'm getting ahead of myself with the not sleeping thing.
I hope nobody notices.

Kid's back.
Something seems different about him...but, well, as long as
he's okay.
I kind of lost my patience with him. But sheesh, I didn't know
he asked that many questions. How do Liz and Patti put up
with it?
We flew over to get him and back, though I'm starting to wish
I didn't. It didn't really help the tiredness. And Soul and
Kid had to start insisting they had to do my chores...and Kid actually
used Soul Perception on me, how could he do that???
Well...I think he's settled in now, and the chores are done, I'm going to go touch the coral.

I haven't really had the energy to keep up with this journal lately.
More of our friends have arrived and I'm meeting more of the different people
in Vatheon, but I just don't know what to do with myself.
I can get all the books I want and read them--even if they are weird
fishy knock-offs--I can walk wherever I want, flying isn't tiring at all
anymore but...
It still feels like I should be doing something else.
It feels like whatever I'm doing right now, I can do better.
I've hit a wall, I think.
At least those dreams stopped happening,
but Kim's having nightmares now. It must be hard being here
without Jackie...
Never mind that, Liz and Patti arrived too. That's great for Kid.
And Dad's been baking a lot more lately.
I think he invited someone over one morning, but I don't know who.
