12 Actually, most of the ghosts I know are bigger fans of Christmas...

2008-10-31T22:15:10Z

Everything around here's been so weird I almost missed it.

So, anybody need some quality haunting for Halloween? Got your intangibility, your invisibility, your floating, your possessing things, your unnatural chills and spooky noises, usual ghost stuff. I don't even have to worry about the cuffs, now!

I figure people are probably too busy to really think much about the holiday anyway ~~or they're already haunted by enough as it is~~ but I thought as one of the resident ghosts I oughtta at least offer.

It's nice to be able to train without worrying about that bracelet thing zapping me or knocking me out for pushing too hard.

But all this Indigeo stuff is way over my head. I can't understand half the stuff I read now. That kind of sucks. Am I the only person who never learned how to read zero zero one one zero or whatever?

I miss Tuck and Sam. How long have I been here...?

At least we aren't all being killed. Again. So at least there's a bright side to things! ... geez.

That... all of that... was really weird. I'm still not sure exactly what that was supposed to be. But... I'm glad we're still alive. Or at least for now we are.

It turns out I really don't like dying, and I'm guessing I'm not alone. If the cuffs are off, that means everyone's got all their powers back, right? Including the complete looneys?

Shouldn't we be organizing? I know there's superhero groups and other groups that are kind of already here, or that parts of them are here. Well, what I mean is, I want to help.

I'm worried this place is going to break into a civil war or something now that the kid gloves are off for everybody.

It feels like a major storm warning or something, except times twenty. And instead of hoarding milk and bread ~~and ham~~ we're... okay, I guess we are kind of hoarding food, but it's different like this.

I'll feel really weird if I have to put a hazmat suit on top of my hazmat suit, but I guess without a hood it's just a uniform.

Dani? You've been through this before, right? Advice for your cousin?

Figuring out how to build a bowling alley is harder than you'd think. Now might be a bad time to start working on it anyway, though, people are busy working on that festival thing. That sounds like fun. Maybe after that we can start the bowling alley, when people aren't already concentrating on building stuff for the festival. It might be easier to get supplies, and maybe some more people would feel like helping.

I think I've kind of got everything we need in mind, though. Now the thing that I'm worried about is polishing. If the alley isn't really slick, it won't work, right? I don't think I can requisition a floor buffer... if we have to polish that by hand, that'll be tough.

Plus I don't really know anything about building, other than how to put nails into wood, and that you use those balancing things with the little ball of air to tell that things are leveled...

Not commenting on the underwear thing.

So...

It's all quiet again. I guess these things really do happen in waves.

At least something is always happening on this thing... even if I'm reading about other people. It's not quite like watching television, but it's interesting, even if I don't know exactly what's going on. It seems like, even when things are quiet, there's always stuff behind the scenes...

Well, that's true for me too, kind of. It feels weird to think how long I've been here already, even though I know lots of people have been here longer. Maybe I'm really just starting to get used to the thought that I could be here for a really long time.

I wonder how hard it is to build a bowling alley...

06 Take another trip around the sun... [Accidental Voice Entry]

2008-09-24T00:38:06Z

I want the sun to shine on me,
I want the truth to set me free,
I wish the followers would lead
With a voice so strong
It could knock me to my knees.

Hold on, world,
'Cause you don't know what's coming.
Hold on, world,
'Cause I'm not jumping off.
Hold on to this boy a little longer,
Take another trip around the sun.

If I jumped into the ocean to believe,
If I climbed a mountain, would I have to reach?
Do I even dare to speak, to dream, believe?

Give me a voice so strong
I can question what I have seen.

Hold on, world,
'Cause you don't know what's coming.
Hold on, world,
'Cause I'm not jumping off.
Hold on to this boy a little longer,
Take another trip around the sun.

Around the sun...
Let my dreams set me free...
Believe, believe...

... I've never even heard that song before. It's not even the kind of music I like.

But all in all? Still beats being Vlad.

Oh, man is that a relief!

I never thought I'd want to return to puberty. I now know more about Vlad than I ever, ever, ever wanted to. I don't know if it makes it better or worse that at least he wasn't an old guy yet.

[Screened to Dani]

Um, Dani? I haven't seen you around lately... did you get turned into a sloth or something? If you're okay now, maybe we can meet? My room's open anytime, it's Ci - Dyo, so feel free to drop by.

Okay, I came into the middle of the last one, so how long do these usually last? It seems like some people didn't just look different, they think they're other people. So how do we tell new people from just changed and confused old people?

Someone around here's gotta have a power like that, right?

[Screened to Jaenelle]
This is Danny. I still really want to... practice what we were talking about, in the park. The picture's hanging in my room, by the way. It feels a lot more like home in there now.

But I'm not sure I can do it like this. I got changed into something... someone pretty bad, and it's kinda throwing me off a little. Were you changed, too?

2008-09-15T07:02:41Z

Hey, did everything taste like cheese for a second there?

This is another one of those 'things,' isn't it?

... Wait, no. No. Not funny. No! Okay, whoever did this better fix it! Now! This is totally not okay!

Or turn me into an animal or something! The animals are cute. I could live with being a hamster a little while!

People shouldn't steal from other people's rooms, especially the underwear drawers. That's wrong. Absolutely. Noooo question.

But, given the people being possessed and attacking loved ones option, or even the attack of killer tomatoes option, it's not that bad, right?

Not that I'm approving! I'm just saying it's relative. This level of crazy I can handle.

2008-09-09T01:24:20Z

Ooooookay.

Hi, my name's Danny, and I'm... really confused right now. Though I guess I'm not the only one. I got the primer, anyway. We're in some other world, it's in some kind of danger, we have to save humanity, that kind of thing, right? And I'm reading some really weird stuff about tomatoes and plushies and things. That's not helping.

It'd be a lot easier to handle if I had a better idea of what we're in danger from; I mean, what exactly we're supposed to be dealing with. I'm as in favor of saving the human race as the next guy, but I'm not so hot on the whole prisoner bit, either. Asking would've been nice.

This messenger thing is supposed to be used for communications and stuff, right? Geez, I feel like Tucker lugging this around...

So other people here've been here a lot longer, right? You guys must know more about what's going on than I do. (Anybody'd know more about what's going on than I do right now.) So.... um... help?
