Junpei Iori

That's the second time somethin' like this has happened at the castle! Strange as it sounds, I feel... kinda left out, since I don't have a pet.

(OOC: Backdate this to the end of the event.)

Just what the hell's been going here anyway?!

One minute, I'm nodding off in class and the next... the castle's going crazy and people are flipping their shit more than usual.

I thought things were just a liiiiitle off when Minato's head kinda... uh... exploded for lack of a term, but...

Why is there some dude inside my head tellin' me to call him Hermes? The name kinda rings a bell, but not really. Something about muggle mythology or whatever, Idon'tevenknow!

It's not every day some creepy ghost is tellin' you to put a gun to your head and pull the trigger. I don't even own a freakin' gun! I NEVER have! I know I can be a downer from time to time, but that's normal! Right? Right! Haha, so yeah...

Um... [Coughs a little to clear his throat. Just feelin' a little on edge.] I really don't think I should go killin' myself or somethin' like this...

...

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan, I probably sound like I've been sniffing something, but I'm being serious here! I guess what I'm trying to say is... um... a little help? Please? Someone? I don't wanna be crazy, damnit!

(OOC: Juuuust back date this to Saturday. It's been a busy weekend in RL-land.)

Glad that's all over with. Now we can all go back to leading our dull, boring lives.

I wonder when the next Quidditch practice will be? I'm gettin' kinda rusty.

Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit! Is it that time already? Ho man, I'm not ready!

Uh... if anyone needs me, I'll be holed up in the common room with a stack of mags today!

I made the Quidditch team! Hells yeah! I'll be playin' alongside Agito as a Beater. I knew I had a good arm! Minato made it onto the team too! Now I'll be able to spend more time with Rikku and Asuka too. Man, this is exciting~!

(OOC: Obviously late post is late, so back date this to sometime earlier last week.)

Saturday was the best time I've had all summer. Rikku and I burned the night away, playing almost every game possible. She even brought her own stack to play. Ho damn, that woman is good at what she does! She sure gave me a run for my money.

We started with ten rounds of racing games, then ten rounds of boxing and combat games, followed by ten rounds of sword dueling, snowboarding and even dirt biking games. Mortal Kombat and Tekken games have nothin' on us! Once the sporty ones were done, we leveled up some magic games and took a break watching a comedy movie to ease the tense atmosphere. I was sure she was gonna deck me a few times.

After that, things were hella more fun! We teamed up and kicked some major bad guy ass in a few of the games she brought over. Things started to get late and after a long day at the Quidditch game, we called it quits. Besides, she had work the next day. I wouldn't mind doin' that again some time soon though!

From here on out, it will be smooth sailin' with my Chidorita~!

Hot damn dudes, that was the most amazing thing I've ever seen! I mean, did you see their moves? Ho, I wanna be like that one day! I guess I better get started now. I've got a lotta room for improvement to be making.

Hey Rikku, I'll be seeing you soon! I've got all the soda pop and chips you can think of. Fluffy pillows, games stacked - ready and waiting for yah!

Hells yeah, it's almost go time! Just two more days and it's back at home, with a pile of things to do waitin' on me.

Damn, this Quidditch camp's been harder than I thought It'd be! On the other hand, it's been kinda fun. I could really get into this.

Hey Rikku, seems like you've been keeping yourself busy too. Don't have too much fun without me! I've been looking forward to our gaming night. It's gonna kick ass man. Just you wait! I'm gonna whip your ass at this new game I get. Just watch me, haha.

Man, Quidditch camp sounds like it's gonna be tough. I don't think I know anyone from the group I'm in.

Minato, do your best! We're gonna get really good and maybe go pro some day! Heh, wouldn't that be something? Me, a pro-Quidditch player? Ah well, a man can dream, can't he?

Chidori, I hope you're okay... I miss you. I'll OWL you every day, I promise!

The Eiffle Tower was really cool. I never thought things could look so cool from so high up! We also saw a movie and bought ice cream for dessert. The weather was rather pleasant and I think I caught her smiling at least once. It was really nice getting to see her again.

I'm gonna miss her, but I gotta get back home by tomorrow when Quidditch camp starts. I decided with some encouragment to try out this year! Apparently Minato's gotten the same idea. It should be interesting, the two of us teamin' up again like old times. It'll be nice to work with the other team mates too. It's gonna be rough, but so worth it.

Chidori's Mom said we're goin' to the Effile Tower tomorrow! Yahoo~!

Man, I'm so siked. This is gonna be the best trip ever!

Man, summer vacation sure has been nice. I guess I kinda forget about thing again, haha.

It's a wonder you found it at all in the disaster you call a room. Some things will never change, I guess.

Yeah yeah yeah, tell me somethin' I don't already know!

Uh... anyway, yeah summer's awesome so far! I've spent almost every day without fail trying to beat the boss. I mean, there's just so many games that have been sitting around untouched and bags of chips uneaten, that well, it's been a one-man party and hell if it ain't over yet!

Racing games, baseball, hand to hand combat, strategy - you name it and it's been played! Ho man, I still have that deluxe box set of dvds that are still unopened from Christmas lyin' around here some where...

Why not tell them how you've actually interacted with human beings, instead of your video games for once.

Maaannn, c'mon here! I'm tryin' to make a voice post! Anyway, yeah, like he said. I've been hangin' out with Aki here and there.

Almost every day, might I add. Someone has to pry you from the fantasy world you've been living in for almost a month now.

Well lucky for you, tomorrow's the big day!Man, I can't wait to see her. All this talkin' over the journals and stuff has been so borin'. I wonder how fancy her house is. She told me a little 'bout her Mom. She sounds... yeah. I guess I'll just have to see when I get there. I bet you're gonna miss me, huh Aki?

It will definitely be more quiet around these parts without you.

Aw, I didn't know you cared.

Junpei! S-shut up already. Just finish your damned voice post, so we can hurry up and leave.

Yeah yeah, I'm goin', I'm goin...

(OOC: In short, he locked himself away in his room and spent three weeks playing video games non-stop, except when Akihiko dragged him away to hang out. He's spent some time with Fuuka too and he's going to Chidori's house in France for a week. Yeap, that sums up everything.)

WHOO HOO, WE'RE OUTTTAAA HEREEE~!

If that's my future... I... I don't know. I don't even know what to say. First Chidori, then Minato... the wizarding war... Akihiko's help...

Private/Hackable to Close Friends

My... my daughter... we got married and had a daughter... I... we haven't even been dating for more than a week now. But if that's true, then... I must really love her in the future. I... that part of my future seems like it was nice. To be with her, for the rest of my life. Even if I pressued her to marry me so early on, it's what I thought would be for the best, in a time of war. She agreed, so that must mean she loved me back... a lot. Oh, Chidori... I...

And Minato... I was a fall down mess. If it wasn't for Aki and Fuuka's help, I don't know where what I would have done. Usagi was there for me to, even though she had her own problems. It seems like we both had lost someone we truly cared about.

I think the worst feeling of all was that day... at Yoite's funeral. I don't think I'll ever be able to forget the look on everyone's faces. Everyone close to me was there, for... that guy. The look in Minato's eyes... will haunt me forever.

But after his death... I...

I don't want that future. If it means losing everyone, then... I have to become stronger. I have to be supportive of everyone. I can't lose them both. They're too important to me.

/Private/Hackable to Close Friends

What the hell am I doing back at this place? Has anyone seen my daughter? I need to find her and get the hell out of this place, now.

( OOC Note )

Seems like things are gettin' back on track now. Everyone's trying to pretend things never happened by diving into their school work again. And with OWLs coming up really soon... ah crap, now I've gone and reminded myself I'm a few chapters behind!

Chidori, I'm glad you're feeling much better now. When your leg doesn't hurt to walk, I want to treat you to something.

Man, this whole thing is just weird...

Are they going to send us home now? What the hell is gonna happen to us?

Chidori? Chidori?! HEY, has anyone found Chidori yet?! I... I didn't see her come down with a group! Please, someone go and find her! She could be hurt or even stuck somewhere!

Man, this OWLs are killin' me! Can't we just take the damned things and be over with it?! This weeks been super boring so far. I hope things will liven up sooner or later...
