...

You don't see that every day of the week. At least I don't. Floating cups are different...

( screened to Fubuki )

( screened to Bakura Ryoko )

I thought the days I would need to smack people for being stubborn were at least ending. Especially one certain person. Apparently not yet.

I'm so glad I never told him then. I'm not sure who was being stupider back then, him or me. I think it might've been me.

[OOC: strikes visible if you squint a lot, unless you're AU or OU Juudai.]

All the windows in Paj-Ennea are broken. Until they're fixed, Bakura Ryoko's offered to let me stay in Om-Tria with her. I hope it doesn't take very long.

Other me, brother...I'm in Om-Tria with Bakura Ryoko. I got a little singed, but I'll be all right.

I'd almost forgotten. Happy birthday, brother. Happy birthday, Ryou. Many happy returns.

Merry Christmas, everyone! Soon it's going to be New Year's...I wonder if anyone's going to be doing anything for that.

Where'd this mistletoe come from? Did you put it up here, other me?

[OOC: Asuka got lucky...this time. This is not the enchanted stuff...though she will encounter it before the plot is over. *cackle*]

The one good thing about having a brother like I do is that he is amazingly easy to shop for when holidays and birthdays come around. One of our neighbors gave him a pet rock once. I think he might still have it back home. I haven't asked in a while.

I'm still trying to get my new deck sorted out. It's a bit difficult and it's taking me a lot longer than I thought it would. But I'm not going to give up on it. I've been practicing that healing Lina taught me as well. I've almost got it, I'm sure of it.

I'm glad Mom's scarf wasn't really destroyed. Not that I regret smacking Jing over it, though. Or smacking him over what else he did.

( screened, but hackable, especially to anyone who knows her )

[voice post. Asuka sounds, and is, absolutely without a doubt furious.]

How dare he! That was...ugh! And it was the first time I'd kissed anyone, too! I didn't want it to be some stranger! Some thief!

I should've kicked him instead of just smacking him. If he comes near me again, I will. I don't normally like high heels, but I think I can make an exception.

I'm going to be brushing my teeth.

For the next three hours.

[voice post, Asuka's voice is shocked beyond words]

It's gone...someone...tore it apart...

[OOC: As per Jing's plotlet thing, Asuka thinks her mother's scarf, that she treasures very highly, has been destroyed. She is not going to be a happy Asuka for a while.]

[voice post, made utterly unconsciously, like so many others today.


[coughcough] Brother...brother?

[utter silence from Asuka, though the usual background noises continue.]

Brother...Otogi-san...

[Her voice is absolutely shattered and broken, especially when she says 'brother'...then suddenly, the recording ends...there will be no replies by Asuka anywhere...she saw the remains of Fubuki and Otogi and then got killed herself.]

I think I'm going to requisition some cards. All this time, and I've hardly really touched my deck. It's still virtually the same as it was the day I started at the Academy. And that was something I wanted to change.

[While her voice isn't as trained as her counterpart's, it's still not too bad. There may be someone on her mind. There may not be. She'll never tell. ;)]

( What If It All Goes Right )

I wasn't expecting to look in the mirror and see myself...like this. It's not that bad, really. The wings are going to take some getting used to...and so is the tail...and the horns...

But it's not that bad.

Someone has a very poor sense of humor. Those things are private. And if I find out who did that, I'm going to smack them silly.

[OOC: Strikes visible if you know Asuka very well. She's talking about Fool, of course.]

I think I heard thunder. That's very, very familiar.

[OOC: relating to this post. Thunder always rolls when he says his name like that. :)]

Some tomatoes just smashed themselves all over my deck trying to get to me.

They're going to smell like tomatoes for weeks.

I think I'm going to go smash a few of them.

Other me, have you seen some of the drawings I did? I left the window open and the breeze came in, and...well, you get the idea.

[OOC: If anyone wants to have found some of Asuka's inexpertly done artwork, please feel free. It's mainly of her friends at the moment and could be spread anywhere around the compound by the wind.]

It was strange actually watching that duel. I wonder if that's how things went for the Juudai that I know. Maybe I'll ask him some day.
