It seems like sister's trying to offer me the chance to come home. I would enjoy going back home.......but, at the same time the prospect of change and facing my family...it's not easy. I'm pleased she's giving me the option, but...i have my own motives to think about first.

And somehow, I doubt the concentrations of alcohol in some of the drinks here is accurate.

For all the hopeless idiots who keep asking the same questions


What is this place? Are my friends here? Why are we here?

People have been asking these kinds of questions for a while now and most of us don't have any answers. This is some of the information we've managed to gather, however.

This is my own regarding the currency in Paixao. Or lack of currency.

Overlord by the name of Laharl made this post. It's the short version of what this place is.

Linked within that post, is this one by someone who seems to have been here for a while.

and this has a bit more about the city from some random kid on the journal system. Apparently he found an old book at the library about the city with some people he met.

And do some research. This is the perfect guise to do so
1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me."
2. I respond by asking you five personal questions so I can get to know you better.
3. Update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. When others comment asking to be interviewed, ask them five questions.

I think everyone knows the drill for this by now.

Hopefully now that the weather's letting up this trip will actually progress. I'm sensing people I want to follow, but I want my suit jacket back, so I'm going to have to stick with 'Nina' for a while.

This side trip may give me a headache, but my "sister"'s here and she said to behave, so I will. For the time being. And if anyone is curious as to where to find some quick money, check your surroundings. Most of the natural stuff around here is either cloth, glass, plastic, jewels, glitter, precious metals, and coins. It's quite useful if you're lazy.

Also, the people seem to prefer things that shine. Quite brilliant, if you ask me to make a city that sparkles with a people that love things that sparkle. They're...quite easy to please.

I thought I'd give a tip to a few of you. I have enough money of my own to last awhile. I am picking up some shards of glass in case people decide to be annoying, though.

I...er...accidentally broke a chair and um...chipped some paint at the hotel I was staying at. Those attacks were interesting while they lasted. At least they were INTERESTING.

I want something to do. This whole place is BORING and BRIGHT and all TOO GOOD.

I've been watching from the window. Third floor corners are very good views. You get two windows and they're high enough so you can see both the rooftops and the ground. There are these things running around outside after people. They seem to be constructs, but the energies in them are neither black nor white. They almost have no energies I can sense, so to speak. It's bizarre, but I'd like to have myself a good look at them from a closer distance. Hopefully the bloody things aren't traps. Although, if they are, I'd love to have a talk with their master. It would be wonderful to see how things work around here, exactly.

I am thinking I shall have to go to Weaponry shop as soon as possible. Since these construct-like creatures seem to be going after everything that moves and I'd rather not get an arm off in the process of dealing with them, especially after that bright peryton.

[[yeah...I'm taking advantage of this plot immediately. XD]]

WHO IN THE ONE'S NAME DECIDED TO MAKE INNOCENT AND FAKE COINCIDE?!?! IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE!
[/end rant]

I'm still looking for an operations base to start figuring this place out. All these hotels are unsatisfactory. Is there anything decent enough around here?

I'm walking with a very interesting fellow. Murderer, I believe, or at the very least just a fellow with a violent personality. Wolf-like. Reminds me of Garm and his pack, although very different. Hates all these sweetness-and-light types as much as I do. Only he doesn't want to kill them as much as I do. Unfortunately, I don't seem to have the ability to do it, while he does. This is quite a predicament. I need to go find a weapon sooner or later. Likely later, since I'm occupied with this sort of traveling business at the moment.

Some strings in common, at the very least. He's looking for some people. Said his boss sent him to look for them.

I've been filing away information ever since I got here. The odd little girl. The Bright Peryton. This guy. The sweet-tempered, ever-graceful people.

I am really starting to wonder who designed this place. Other than the innocent-and-light part, it's much to my liking. I'd like to ask them about it.

This city is dull for the most part of what I have seen. I don't think many of these people know what pain is. I haven't even had the glory of witnessing a stubbed toe!

I have found a brochure about this place, so...now I must figure out where to stay.

Oh, and is anyone missing a little girl with pink stripes in her hair and heterochromia--a blue eye and a green one? She happens to be with me at the moment.

Not sure how long that will last, since I don't know how much longer I am going to sit here trying to figure out where the hell the map is on this device. found it. That's odd the symbolism they use for the map. That...knotted circle. Too many meanings most of which I'm not all that interested in.

((I figured I should PROBABLY do this because it will eventually clear up a lot of his behavior as time progresses. This will be edited from time to time with more relevances...Possibly with other avatars as he meets them.))

The Lone Power is a complicated being. Here, the Lone Power is based off an almost pure proud evil with memories of a glorious past of lights that he cannot gather.

However,since he is a mere fragment of this Power, his own role changes, depending on his surroundings. Since Paixao is light, the Lone Power is beginning to develop ambivalence more than relying on absolute evil. Ambivalence is an important thing--it can be overlooked and written off. It means blending in with the grays rather than sticking out. It can be considered a mind not completely made up, or ignorance. One more step toward maturity.

He has vague memories of his forms, of the worlds he has lived in. He most of all, can identify those who are His. His avatars and pawns from other worlds, those who did His bidding, accepting and creating death and using it. Usually for His means in exchange for some form of Life. He claimed his gift was for making creation Better than his brother had made it. Ridding their worlds of that which he said was their enemy.

He is quite disgusted with Paixao because it is "Nice Land"--a world of goody-goody, ever-graceful, sweet-tempered civilians. So few of them have decent darknesses in their hearts and souls. However, he can feel more substantial darknesses among them and he looks forward to those. Although he can sense things, and he knows that he is both inside and outside of time, he is NOT omniscient or omnipotent. He merely knows possibilities, but he likes twisting those possibilities. Even gods die, he usually does not tell his pawns that truth.
