....I am unsure why the magic in this place is compelled to turn me into a female each time it is activated and targets me.

...........

I am uncertain.....truly.....what to think about it this time. It hits......

.....quite close to home.

((OOC: Leonidas, thinking of his wife, awwww.....now he is his wife? Feel free to comment on the strange beauty walking around in a thin-tunic-dress, looking sad...))

Hm.

I am glad we have no such person like Escalus in Sparta. He would make a poor prince indeed if he cannot even handle two families squabbling over someone biting their thumb at someone else. Quite childish.

I'm surprised Verona survived through all five acts, let alone the first scene with this fool. Even as a fictional character he is clearly a dangerous incompetent.

....Hmm.

I shall admit I am a voracious reader of history, but taking every single history text in the library seems a bit drastic and rather unnecessary, don't you think?

Ah, well, I suppose my readings on the Caesars shall have to wait in favor of this philosopher-scribe's large tome. The complete works, it says. Though....these seem to be dramas and poems about kings, lovers and tempests as opposed to diatribes on the nature of our existence.

So then this scribe....is a bard. But let us see how this man measures up to the bards that the Greeks bore. This will be interesting.

This....

is.....

.............

amusing. To say the very least.

None of you would pass for Spartans. Except for 087, 117, Hunter and a perhaps a few others I've met. But the rest of you?

Enjoy freezing your privates off.

Roommates. It appears that the demonic item which has been circulating in Econtra has also made it's way to Mui-Epta. However, I did not even touch the item in question and I was unfortunately affected by it's powers. I would suggest being careful around Mui-Epta in case others are similarly-powered, at least until this plague passes.

....

I suppose it goes without saying that I am unamused.

:22

2008-01-07T20:37:25Z

Hmm...I suppose it may be an activity of interest.

Ask me three questions, and I will answer them to the best of my ability. In return I shall ask three questions of you.

:21

2008-01-03T23:54:55Z

So this is what they call the New Year. Hmm. A celebration in the season of death. In a way, here, it seems more appropriate.

....I must ask if anyone has seen the Hunter Samus recently. There has been little sign of her that I have seen, and I fear something has happened to her, though I am unsure exactly what. If anyone knows anything, it would be appreciated.

If you can see this, Hunter, please respond.

Stork, I must humbly request that if you see a young lady with auburn hair coming out of your mirror, that you do not worry for your safety. She is merely giving out food, and I can assure you from eating it that is is not poisoned in any way.

That being said, I am a little amused that people seem so shocked that she was able to come to them so easily. She is a goddess, children. They are not so easily beaten by something such as the weather, even weather such as this.

Aah, it is such that I can almost imagine the great wolf ready to pounce from me from behind the frozen pines in the Gardens...but perhaps that is a tale best saved for another time.

I must admit, I am not completely familiar with this festival which is behind the gift-giving that has been going on here in Econtra. Nor is the demigod Santa someone who existed in my time. Nevertheless, I have done my best to participate in the spirit of the holidays. Though...these bread confections, these 'cookies', are quite sweet, so I must be careful not to eat too many of them.

I hope those who received gifts from me enjoy them, even if they are not confections. I felt if I were to give any gifts, they should be at the very least suitable to the person, as well as practical. I can only hope that they were.

So Leonidas decided after his Secret Santa to get people gifts. This is who will get them:

-Rue (AU), Ahiru (AU), Kelly (87), John (117), Samus and Alice will all get small stilettos and a matching scabbard. For Rue, the intent is that she can hide it in the folds of her clothing and pull it out if she is attacked by Mythos. Hers also comes with a piece of paper detailing the usage of the item, in particular how to use it for potential maximum damage. -Ahiru (AU), Kelly, John, Samus and Alice's stilettos are in case of emergencies, such as if they are unable to utilize any other weapons at the moment, or if they are disarmed unexpectedly. Kelly and John's stilettos will have engraved in it the Spartan mantra "No Retreat, No Surrender" in Thermoplyae-era Greek. Samus' will have "Hunter" and Alice's will have "Warrior" in the same dialect.
-Ahiru (AU) will also get a shield much like his own. It's large and it's a little heavy but it will shield Ahiru's entire body. The material it's made from makes it extremely hard to destroy.
-Mizuchi will get a few new mirrors which were similar to the ones which cracked.
-Stork will get a book on how to build his self-confidence.

Merry Christmas. :D

It is amazing the things I have learned from this place. The things I have found might or will happen in my world are countless and shocking.

No, we were not victorious, nor were we ever meant to be in that battle. Though I did hope for victory after the first day, after we defeated those called the Immortals, in my mind, there was no doubt that our stand might end with our deaths. But in the end that did not matter. What mattered was what we gave to our Greek brethren, even those whom we despised and those we were forced to fight alongside.

A chance for freedom, and the hope that tyrants such as Xerxes would not lord his supposed power and divinity over the people as he sat in the shadows and watched with ill-disguised glee.

I feel as if there may be a parallel here in Econtra. Do we not desire freedom? We are faced against an enemy who clearly prides itself in its power, and we who have no connections to one another, not even a common identity, have been forced here to fight. Perhaps our presence here will be a portent of better things for this world. Even if we must die to do it, even if we come to realize that our battle is futile, our deaths should be nothing short of glorious.

Perhaps then, all those who live here on this world may take heart at our sacrifices and arise like the phoenix from the ashes to fight this enemy who slinks in the shadows like frightened dogs in the night.

As for me, whether it will be here or whether I am returned to my world, death awaits me with open arms. I intend return the gesture in kind when my moment arrives, whenever it comes, for it will come.

.........

Interesting. I seem to be inmmobile.

.....

I do not know how to fix this.

:15

2007-11-23T21:15:48Z

....Well, this is interesting.

Does anyone know who this strangely small and light orange cat belongs to? It has been pouncing on my cloak as I'm walking. It also meows without opening its mouth. How odd.

:14

2007-11-18T15:51:25Z

Interesting.

I awoke from my slumber and found a cloak hanging on my bedpost. It was the crimson of a Spartan cloak, and it seems to be made of a hardy cloth, designed for the snow outside.

Does this belong to any of my roommates?

:13

2007-11-12T01:16:24Z

My queen.

......How cruel this place can be sometimes.

[The sound of Leonidas shifting - his PDA has been unintentionally turned on]

Gorgo. By the gods.

It is you.

You're here......

.....Of course. I understand.

[A very long silence. PDA times out]

Such strange happenings are occuring in the compound. Rumors of a sand demon have reached my ears, Wei Fong is still at large to cause problems. Many unsavory people have arrived in recent weeks, and in the dark of the morning, I thought I saw a young woman walk past the Mui building without a cuff. She looked very familiar ~~like my wife....~~ though....I do not understand why she would not have a cuff.

....

I think I'll stay in my room. It seems....much safer there right now.

:12

2007-11-04T23:08:24Z

....These flowers are very beautiful, and certainly liven up the place. They are especially beautiful against the window.

Thank you for them, young lady, though I am not entirely sure why you have given them to me.

:11

2007-11-03T15:53:35Z

Madam......thank you.

It is good to know my men are all right, even in death. That what we did was not in vain.

....I am back to normal now. That was....quite strange.

:10

2007-10-31T13:32:13Z

Who is Queen of Sparta?

.......Gorgo......

*BOOM*

Oh, candy! Hooray!

Who wants to share some with me?

:10

2007-10-29T14:40:54Z

The Warden is a very nice person! He's doing such a good job fixing the buildings. Soon everything will be all right!

I think I might throw a few star sprinkles around, to liven the colors up. It can be so dull and gray here sometimes.

......Oh! We have a new roommate! Hello!

:9

2007-10-28T09:18:45Z

It's terrible! I think someone's been killed!

I was walking by Dor and Ci in time to see two women fighting each other, and one of them stabbed the other in the back! She lay bleeding and I ran as fast as I could to my room to get my rainbow belt, but as soon as I got back, the killer was gone and so was the victim!

Please help! She may be dying if she isn't dead yet and if so, the killer is still on the loose! Hurry!!

:7

2007-10-25T01:33:47Z

....I....

.....am at a loss for words.

........

I hope Starlite's safe.

The sound of wailing and grumbling bellies are becoming more commonplace by the day. If the situation does not improve, the people here will die of starvation.

......

I have cooked some dirt wrapped in fig leaves, if anyone is interested in eating. I boiled them all inside my shoes, so the taste....may be a little tough, a little crusty for those with sensitive tongues. But it it quite filling.

It is also better than nothing at all.

2007-10-19T20:29:04Z

Hmm. I have made a slight error of judgement. I have taken the wrong goat path to the enemy, it appears.

I've managed to get most of the glass out of my body, but I unfortunately cannot reach the one piece lodged in my back. If someone may be of assistance, it would be appreciated.
