mood: excited

Please leave a comment with any constructive criticism on how I'm playing Riku (I've never played him before, so this would be very helpful~).

Also, if you'd like Riku to interact with one of your characters, feel free to comment here as well.

Thanks!

mood: curious

There sure have been a lot of birthdays recently! I wonder when Shaaru-chan's birthday would be... the same day as Charles's? No, that probably wouldn't work.

Shaaru-chan, when would you like to celebrate your birthday?

I've been learning a lot in Ema-sensei's class. Though I don't think Charles would like it if I asked to analyze his fingerprints.

Saya-neechan, did you like your White Day chocolate? I'm sorry it was bitter. I couldn't find any white chocolate.

This is a bit belated, but thank you for the card, Charles. I'm happy you're here with me.

Shaaru-chan, would you like me to read some more of A Midsummer Night's Dream after work today? Saya-neechan, I'd appreciate your help balancing the roles. Charles too!

MakubeX-san... I'll be strong for everyone. I won't let anything happen to them. I promise.

Charles, Watanuki-san, should we do something about the store?

mood: anxious

Still falls the rain - dark as the world of man, black as our loss - blind as the nineteen hundred and forty nails upon the Cross.

Dame Sitwell expresses the atmosphere better than I could. I'm worried. A lot of people have gone missing, and the weather keeps getting worse. An ice chunk nearly hit me and Charlie on our way back from work. Scientifically speaking, there shouldn't be any possible way for ice that big to reach the surface... but I guess there are a lot of things here that can't be explained.

I feel disconnected

I can't let myself get upset. I have to be strong for the people I care about. MakubeX-san, I'll search for food today. Is... is there anything else you need?

mood: scared

[voice post]

[Riku's voice is high and panicked]

Saya-neechan, MakubeX-san, anyone - does anyone know where I can find gauze and bandages? I can't stop the bleeding, and I can't remember what I'm supposed to do for a chest wound, and I know I can't use a tourniquet, but I don't know what else to do but cover the wound, but there aren't any bandages in the house and I looked and looked...

[murmuring incoherently]

It's just like that time; I can't leave him again; I can't let him hurt Cha-

[Riku gasps, interrupting his rushed thoughts, and when he speaks again, his tone is more decided, with a bare hint of pain]

I have to find something I can use.

mood: uncomfortable

[voice]

MakubeX-san, I'm going to be helping Charles out part-time at the library, if it's all right with you. Don't worry; I'll help you sort out rations and help with the food crisis I guess that's a good part about being a Chevalier...

I see from the other network posts that other people woke up with words written on their foreheads too. The Seven Deadly Sins... I hadn't thought the Gods here were Christian, but it would make sense. Repent for violating God's law and find absolution. I wonder if the selection process is based on religious affiliation. I'm not really a Christian myself, but I am a little familiar with the theology.

I just wish this would come off.

Does any-

[Riku stops speaking abruptly and there is a significant pause before he continues. When he does speak again, his tone is distracted.]

Sorry. I thought I... Never mind.

[voice]

[it's evident by the sniffling and the trembling voice that Riku has been crying]

MakubeX-san, Shaaru-chan and I are going to stay with Saya-neechan for a while.

... Charles-

[emotion wells up in his voice and the recording ends with a gasp before cutting out]

I haven't seen Charles for a day now. I'm getting worried. Saya-neechan, are you doing alright? Something weird is going on. Do you want to investigate?

I think I'll look around myself. Maybe if I can find Hera-san, she can help us sort everything out.

I wonder why I'm not affected.

Happy belated birthday to you again, Charles! I'm glad you liked the book. It was really fun reading with you the other night. Next time, let's see if we can find any Nabokov!

I'm glad to hear that Thylas-san didn't get hurt when Hera-san took over. There's too much bloodshed here - shouldn't we be working on making ourselves better, so we can go home again?

mood: happy

Tamaki-san got a puppy! He's really cute and soft. I love when he cocks his head to the side, when he's confused about something. And when he licks my face!

Charles, do you want to ask Tamaki-san if we can play with Aurèle later?

mood: discontent

People here seem to be very introspective lately. Maybe because it's been so quiet (except for all of the new people! I would say welcome, but this isn't really the best place to be welcomed to). I feel as though I should be taking advantage of this opportunity to think about myself more than I am.

Private to Diva

Diva-san, you broke your promise. I won't see you again.

This song is... so familiar...

No. I have to stay here.

I feel...

mood: confused

Charles and I are almost done cleaning our room. It's been a long process.

I did some shopping for my roommates (rice is so expensive here!), and then I'm going to help Saya-neechan move into her new place on the upper level! I'm so excited we're living closer to each other now.

Private (hackable)

How can he live with himself after doing that to Charles?! It was bad enough that he lied to him, that he tried to kill him, but how can he care so little about someone's feelings?! I've never felt so angry before in my life.

If anyone else does that to Charles, I won't ever forgive them.

In a way, I feel like I should be thankful to Zhygure-san for giving me the opportunity to get to know Charles better.

Things have been pretty quiet lately. I hope this isn't a warning sign.

I'm just glad you're okay, Charles.

... Was that what it felt like for him too?

Phew. For not having much stuff, moving sure was tiring! I'm excited to be on the Upper Level, though. It's a little brighter up here! And fewer monsters. Saya-neechan, you have to come over! We'll just put the cats somewhere while you're here

I'll try not to be a burden to my new housemates! We could make a list of household chores, so that way no one does too little or too much work.

I'm really excited Charles and I still get to share a room. And I heard there's a library on the upper level. We can spend our nights reading!
