Near

...hm.

It's not that surprising to have returned, but it's very frustrating to realize I really did not remember a thing when I was back "home".

At least this room is still the same.

Hmm.

Today was more pleasant than I had expected it to be.

Schuldig, thank you for the lovely afternoon. I am deeply sorry for not calling you, the next morning.

Hmm. There is no practical choice right now but to have a job, is there? No cafeteria, nothing new coming from the closets... A shame. It seems I can't have any more puzzles for free.

Nata, thank you for giving me the antidote. I have a few toys here that you could be interested in.

[Silence, followed the sound of a toy being broken]

...

[Said in a slightly girly voice]

...not again.

Hm. I had thought that this place would only get more strange, with time, but I hadn't expected it to happen quite like this. A mysterious blackout, only to be followed by the exact opposite? I do like white, but this is a little too much.

At least most of my toys are still intact, even if some of them switched from plastic into other materials, and other shapes.

My closet has decided to play tricks on me. Is anyone else having the same problem? Mine has been giving me anything but what I ask it for, so I was forced to go to the city to get what I wanted.

It wasn't entirely unpleasant. The toy shop I found has a decent selection of items, and I bought a few Lego sets to entertain myself with. It was a little strange to buy those with candy wrappers, however.



( [This isn't supposed to be behind the cut, but here it is, to spare your friendslists.] )

The pet shops are also rather... peculiar. The animals they sell are also quite odd, but they seem less zombie-like than the other inhabitants of the city. It's still an interesting place, either way.



((ooc: Two things! One, the robot is R2D2 from Star Wars, but seeing as we have no SW people in the game at the moment, I thought it was okay to post it. Just in case, please consider that lego set a simple robot, and not R2D2 itself. Secondly, pretend that the guy on the second pic isn't actually there, and that the pic was taken indoors. 8D;; Thank you! «333))

[Silence, except for a slight rustling sound]

...

[Sound of bird wings flapping]

...

[Said in a blank, even voice, while the cockatoo makes a little noise]

...I hate this place.

[More rustling noises at the same time as the cockatoo squawks and flaps its wings furiously, followed by a loud snap, and then silence]

...

How annoying.

[More silence, and the sound is cut off]






((ooc: Near has returned to normal. Someone's not a happy camper. >________> The cockatoo mini!Matt pranked him with is still alive and well, but feel free to have your character think that Near just snapped the bird's neck in half. 8D))

[rustling sounds, followed by an annoyed huff]

Great, all my chocolate is gone. There's not even anything left on the drawer-- I swear it, if anyone stole it--

[Pause]

...why the hell is a cockatoo following me around?

[Silence, except for the sound of footsteps (heavy boots against the floor) coming closer, and then the sound being cut off]





((ooc: Hahahaha-- HOSHIT. Witness Dev's attempt at playing Mello!Near resulting in EPIC FAIL. :B P-please be gentle?))

[small clicking sounds of puzzle pieces falling into place]

...

[click click click]

...

[click click click]

...this is ridiculous.

[sounds of all the puzzle pieces falling softly on the desk after Near turned his puzzle upside down]

It's even more frustrating than ten years ago.

[more clicking sounds as Near starts to build his puzzle once again]



((ooc: Private post is private. However, it can be hacked by both Mellos, considering that Near is speaking about them, and how Mello refused to work with him when he was back at Wammy's House.))

...this place has a twisted sense of humour. Not that it wasn't clear before, of course, but this is becoming ridiculous.

I'm not going to this masquerade. For whoever is going, enjoy yourselves, I suppose.


((ooc: SOMEONE DRAG NEAR INTO THE MASQUERADE. Because I want him to go. Oh yes. :| And this is his costume (and a pretty mask and everything), which will fit like a glove considering that he has been temporarily turned into a girl. >.> The skirt is a bit longer, though, for the sake of his sanity. SO, WHO'S GONNA BE THE ONE WHO'LL DRAG HIM INTO THE BALL?))

Wings, this time? Well, I can't say they're that bad; not after getting used to them, at least. Bumping my head against the ceiling when I first tried to move them wasn't exactly pleasant, however, but now that I have some control over my wings, this is actually entertaining.

I still haven't managed to fly at the speed I wanted to, though.



((ooc: Pretty angel Near looks like THIS. WITH THE MUSCLES AND EVERYTHING. MWAHAHAHA! *SHOT* Okay, not really. He's still his normal self, of course, but his wings are like these. Except that his wings are pure white. :3))

New arrivals? How fascinating. And more of us are gone, too; it makes me wonder if there is some sort of equilibrium that needs to be kept for this world to exist.

Either way, welcome. And try not to make this place even more chaotic than it already is.



[private to Yuuko // unhackable]

I need to have a word with you.



((ooc: Annoyed Near is annoyed. Poking him will lead to some bitching at your character, Near-style. tl;dr: please, do poke him. :3))

No, am I not going to make any sort of comment about this last curse.

I have this constant headache ever since I woke up from being dead; and what a fascinating experience that was. Does it happen to everyone as soon as they return to life, or is it only a result of how annoying these past two weeks were?

...I would like to know why, after I changed rooms, other people are still able to find which specific room I am in. Is there some kind of surveilance system in this place that I am not aware of? Or am I being stalked?


Mello, Duo, I did not need to see any of that. And did you suspect I had cameras in my room, or did you do that just because you thought it would annoy me?

Is this place under the effect of a new curse? I am aware of the last one, yes, and I'm thankful I wasn't affected; I had to wear far too many dresses during the last week. But I just woke up from a small nap and it seems that my hair grew quite a bit.

Past my mid-back, to be precise.

I know that some of you know magic, or have any other kind of special powers. Were any of you responsible for this?

The truth or dare game was... interesting. Not that bad for a first time, but it could have gotten worse; things can always go downhill, after all, no matter how stable they appear to be at a particular moment.

But I'm digressing. Matt, the way you entered my room humming that particular theme was very entertaining to watch. I am, however, annoyed at the amount of cards that you knocked down. Was that truly necessary?

Either way, the cameras I set up recorded your every move; would you like to have a copy?

The closet seems to like the challenges I've been dared to do so far. It has given me all kinds of knee-high dresses (which was only predictable), but the part I don't like is that it also keeps giving me high heeled shoes.

I prefer to avoid those, and the ankle sprains they would cause, thank you.

Being a vampire wasn't that bad, except for the part of losing control whenever the thirst got too great. Although I suppose that the victims can't say they liked the experience; not most of them, at least.

On a completely different subject, is it possible to get something to eat without having to leave the room?

...isn't this an interesting curse.

How many people were turned into vampires? And more importantly, who else here is now a potential victim?




((ooc: Vampire Near has appeared. :B Any potential victims should have their muns contact me. XD))

...I don't think that this was what one of my subordinates had in mind, when he mentioned I should take a break from work. Unless he managed to slip some kind of hallucinogenic substance into one of my drinks and all of this is an illusion, of course.

Where am I? And why is this room full of rabbits?
