❦ 28th Record

[iattractmushi]

[He swiped the journal from an unsuspecting random NPC explorer in the Wilderness. He'll give it back when he's done, but this is faster than waiting for the person to come back, and really it's their fault for leaving it lying about where anyone could get at it.

...especially since he's not sure if he can talk like this. Well. Talk, and be understood by anyone but Krile.

The writing looks... weird. Which is perfectly understandable, since he's kind of. Holding a brush in his teeth and writing that way. It's actually surprisingly easy to do... but his writing doesn't look anything like normal.]

Hey, this is Cloud. What day is it, are the ants still around, and anyone want to tell me why I've got maybe a half-dozen fireflies following me everywhere? They appeared out of nowhere pretty much the second I stepped out into the Wilderness. [And promptly turned into a pony, which neatly distracted him from wondering where the bugs came from.]

[Slight pause.]

I learned my real name, while I was there. Ginko. You can call me that if you want. I'll still answer to Cloud, though.

[For those characters who can read kanji, it should be noted that the characters that make up the name 'Ginko' mean nothing. He spells it with phonetic kanji.]

It's July 4th, the ants are gone, and fireflies are following a lot of people around.

...Welcome back.

[iattractmushi]

[Pause.] I've been gone for a month? [Damn.]

That's good to hear, at least. Anyone get hurt?

Figured I wasn't the only one.

Thanks.

[notpissedoff]

Yes.

I don't believe anyone was seriously hurt. The ants were pretty pathetic this year.

The number varies. Some people have swarms, some only one or two, others none.

[wayofflowers.livejournal.com]

Ginko. It suits you, I think.

Welcome back.

[iattractmushi]

Thanks Bellflower-san. It's nice to be back. [If very odd, just now.]

[azhdarchidae.livejournal.com]

Oh, like the leaf? Cool. I guess a lot of people got names in memories.

[iattractmushi]

Le-- [Slight pause.] Oh, yeah, they're pronounced the same. But the leaf is written ginkgo. [In Japanese kanji, that's a very big difference.] Didn't get it in a memory, though.

[azhdarchidae.livejournal.com]

Really? All right, if you say so.

Huh. Yeah, I guess you missed that.

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

Cloud, welcome back! Or Ginko, rather. It's nice to see your handwriting again.

[iattractmushi]

Thanks, it's nice to be able to write. [After a fashion.]

You doing all right?

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

Your handwriting does look kind of funny, though. Did you hurt your hand?

Yeah, I'm fine.

[blue-shields.livejournal.com]

Congratulations, Ginko.

Glad you're okay.

[iattractmushi]

Thanks.

Good to see you're still around, Sky-san.

[moe-rapier.livejournal.com]

Oh, it's so good to hear from you, Ginko. I'm glad you're well.

[iattractmushi]

Locket-san? [The writing looks kind of like hers...] Thanks. I'll get back to work as soon as I can.

[moe-rapier.livejournal.com]

It's me. I apologize; it's hard to write using a pen held in your teeth. I don't exactly have thumbs at the moment.

Please, take whatever time you need.

[crimson-seeker.livejournal.com]

It's good to see returned.

[And yeah, relieved sighs don't transmit over the journal. One bright thing among some strange days at least.]

[iattractmushi]

You as well. Glad to see you managed to take up your own charge of keeping this place standing.

[crimson-seeker.livejournal.com]

It's hardly due to any effort of mine, as of late. I was gone for a good part of your trip, it seems.

[man-genius.livejournal.com]

Ginko? You're named after a plant?






Hi btw.

...he just gave him more trolling amo, didn't he =_=

[iattractmushi]

There is a plant that's pronounced the same. [That's the second time someone's made that mistake. Weird.] But it's spelled ginkgo.

Anything interesting happen lately?

Pretend this isn't disastrously late? ^^;

[viva-la-materia.livejournal.com]

Oh, geez, you're okay!

You know, not that I was worried or anything. I just wanted to know you didn't have a big hole in you or whatever. Y'know.

As long as you can pretend he's still a pony! Having only two icons was killing me

[iattractmushi]

[Excuse him while he just kind of stares at this.]

---any particular reason you had that fear specifically?

[paintitgray.livejournal.com]

Welcome back. And congratulations on your name.

I only have the one firefly, but it doesn't seem very healthy. Keeps flickering out.

[iattractmushi]

Thanks.

That's [Pause.] a little strange. Does it seem sick otherwise?
