[there's an intake of breath, as though someone's going to speak, but it's followed by silence. a deflated exhalation; a shaky breath. dictated:]

Naruto-kun has gone home.


[pauses, then closes the journal. he isn't likely to respond anytime soon, if at all.]

I never thought that I would do this, really, because there was a time when I said that I would stay in Paradisa until its end... but I'm sure a lot of you have noticed that I haven't been as active and attentive as usual. I've been contemplating this decision off and on for a few months now, and I'm finally growing a pair (though they are very, very tiny ;;).

Naruto and I have been in Paradisa a little over two years now, but I think our time has finally come to leave... and for Naruto to go back to Konoha.

I'll cherish all the good memories I've had here. Paradisa was once like my second home. I've met... so many awesome people here, so many new friends, that it's really kind of hard for me to do this /crying a little aiodhasiohdaiosdh /LAME NNGH I'm really going to miss all the wonderful CR I have built up over the years, but I really am no longer doing him justice by sitting on his character longer than necessary .__.

I love you guys and you'll always be the first game that I have been in for this long. I'll always remember you and I hope that I can still keep in touch with those of you I don't have on my f-list. T-Though I wouldn't mind adding any of you either T___T My journal is meteorfreak if anyone wants ;;

Oh, Chouji-chan is also leaving with him :( because I don't think he'd want anyone else to take care of her.

GAH OKAY I'LL JUST STOP NOW BEFORE I START BAWLING ;__; I LOVE YOU GUYS...

Has anyone seen Valentine around? She went off in that ship of hers and probably crashed or something. Not that I care. She stole something of mine and I want it back, is all.

[Someone has indulged a little too much in festive chocolates and edible christmas presents and now feels like death warmed up.]

Oh dear merlin, someone kill me now.

I'll hand you the wand myself.

Wow, that was a hell of a lot more than I'm used to. I could get used to all of that food.

It's kind of sad to see it all go though. I guess it'll be back next year, which'll be nice if I'm still around.

Still we've got New Years too. Is there a special meal for that an' all?

That was an exceedingly enjoyable Christmas! It was horrendously delightful and I must say, it was lot easier to deliver gifts when one isn't being shot at by the military! [And he's writing this like it's the most normal thing in the world.] And thank you again, Mister Jones, for creating my Sandy Claus outfit! I am in your debt of course.

And I do thank those who had been most gracious in giving me presents. Miss Raine? This book is fascinating! I will be certain to read every last page and ask you questions when I am finished. And Miss Uru, that cake was delicious! And it was decorated so creatively at that. What a perfect way to combine both Halloween and Christmas! I thank the both of you from the bottom of my ribcage.

Now then--

This 'New Year's' I have been hearing about. Is this another holiday? I never imagined so many holidays would be happening so quickly after another one! It's a shame I never can go through those doors at home... Perhaps I can learn more about them here instead!

[ silence before a voice seems to speak through the journal, quietly; ]

I suppose it was inevitable that one of them would show up. I guess this 'sin' of mine remains with me, even here...

[ the sound of boots touching ground echoes, followed by flipping paper. it appears that oz has found a book to distract himself. three guesses on what it could be. ]

"My weapon is being unafraid of Death"

[ ... ]

Heh.

[she's looking at the Tin Pin kit Neku got her in the game room, trying to make sense of it all]

Whammy? Slammer? I don't get any of this!

[and she picks up the accompanying introductionary manga]

And why is it always kids out on a journey to beat the adults? Why would any grown person want to take over the world with a children's game anyway?

[A certain 19th century woman is up at 3 a.m. though to be honest that's hardly new for her and has somehow managed to find the modern toaster. How she managed to miss it after 11 months of captivity in this place is beyond even the castle, but there you go.

She's muttering to herself, too, which obviously means this is a good endeavor. Let's not talk about the nearby objects.]

I-I see...so I would put something in here? But what would fit...?

[OOC: IT SEEMS I AM NOT AS INSOMNIA SAVVY AS MIRANDA. So if I stop tagging after the first couple, it's because I passed out. Sorry in advance. ;;]

[dictated quietly, to the journal, almost unaware of it recording.

almost.]

Hm. At least it's decided to go much faster than it came, hasn't it?

[dictated in such a way it could either be considered gleefully devious or smug. or both. it's hard to tell] You know, I think I like this place. Even with the apparent mood swings.

[he'll get to the Christmas presents he owes people -- namely York and Nine -- eventually. he's just too excited right now to get around to it. and the mun still needs to let him pick things out]

[Hardison wished up a harmonica and instruction book and is trying to teach himself how to play the blues. Badly.

I'm so, so sorry.]

[ Ten's in the kitchen, eating a banana split and flipping through the journal when he decides he may as well voice his opinions on the dramatic change in the castle. After all, he's already got the thing open. ]

I'm not sure what's more puzzling: the nostalgia or the sudden absence of it. Either way, I'm pretty sure the castle hasn't given up on... whatever it was doing in the first place. It seems a bit too stubborn for that.

[ There's a pause as Ten noms on the yummy banana split. ] On a lighter point... what's your favorite ice-cream dish, Paradisa?

Well, that was fun while it lasted, you gotta admit. I guess it's time to start planning for next Christmas now, huh?

Oh yeah, so whoever I won at that auction, you want to go on dates, right?

I was thinking about it, and this place needs a government! We need to stop arguing over who has the power and officially just give it to somebody! An elected official, of course. We're gonna do the election the American way because clearly it's the best.

So I'm gonna run for President of this place! My campaign is so badass. Because it's gonna be the year 2010, my President slogan thing is gonna be: "Mac '10". Like the gun! That's just plain badass and totally red-blooded American.

Who wants to be my running mate?! I'm thinking since I'm gonna have the religious gun-supporting view, my V.P. should be a good-looking, charming Democrat. But not a pussy.

Who: Sylar (heroslayer)
What: Sylar discovers his mod approved Christmas present from the Castle.

Rating: PG, for the one whole swear it has in it.

When it's New Years I'm gonna stay up really, really late. I never got to stay up 'til Midnight before. I'm not gonna drink champagne, though; it looks gross.

First email went out to the NORMALS team.

If we missed you, or you have characters that belong on that team, let us know here. Thanks!

Thanks to everyone who sent me a present. They're all really great! Except that stupid book ... [scribbled out]

Anyways, I hope everyone else liked their presents, too.

... Not so fond of the decorations today, though. They're looking a little ... uh, dead.
