I don't if it's because of Halloween, or because I'm being more observant, but just this morning I spotted at least two different candy stores. One focusing on chocolate, and the other on caramel. I looked inside the first one...
If anyone's ever wanted to try chocolate covered bacon, then now's your chance. I'm not touching that stuff with a ten foot pole, but I figure that someone will probably see it as Manna from Heaven.
Wow, the holiday in which children dress up as monsters, demons, and dead things is almost here. I think I might be glad that we don't have to celebrate it here.
...the celebration commonly known as Christmas (in my world) was actually a celebration of the sun. During the winter equinox the daylight would lessen. The people would pray, and around the 25th of December the daylight would grow. People celebrated this event.
Anyone even remotely disturbed that Niflheim hasn't tried to attack us? If they have, I am unaware of it.
I think I'm going to do some training.
[Edited in later] Even though Niflheim's members have been cut down they still pose a potential threat. Which one of us has a personal issue with any of the members of Niflheim?
It might be wise to keep further tabs on these people.
Pity would be no more If we did not make somebody poor, And Mercy no more could be If all were as happy as we.
And mutual fear brings Peace, Till the selfish loves increase; Then Cruelty knits a snare, And spreads his baits with care.
He sits down with holy fears, And waters the ground with tears; Then Humility takes its root Underneath his foot.
Soon spreads the dismal shade Of Mystery over his head, And the caterpillar and fly Feed on the Mystery.
And it bears the fruit of Deceit, Ruddy and sweet to eat, And the raven his nest has made In its thickest shade.
The gods of the earth and sea Sought through nature to find this tree, But their search was all in vain: There grows one in the human Brain. - The Human Abstract / William Blake.

Found a building in Emptiness while I slept last night. Going to check it out today.
The sound of glass shattering can be heard, and a muffled cry can be heard as the sound of feet briskly walk someplace. One can hear Alessa muttering, but what exactly is not known.
"I miss Alex."
[Asgard]
I'm going to be in Emptiness. I just need to talk to someone, be alone I guess. I want to talk to someone, a friend, Alex, I don't know what I want.
I-I'm sorry. I just, I never really had any close friends growing up. I had one, but we were separated when I was 7.
Since it appears that we have no control over these days in which we're forced to act against our character, I'll spare the apologies. I just want everyone to know that I'm not like...how I acted yesterday. I'm not going to purify or cleanse things with fire, and I don't think that I'm some deity named "Alizer".
I'm not human though. (gone)
It seems that we've revealed secrets about ourselves.
I was in the library yesterday; I wanted to see what I could find out about twins. I couldn't find anything concerning that; at least not anything important.
I did, however, find a book about 'thought forms' I think the key to how Alex came to be might be in that.
As we had suspected, Alex's bragging has caused Niflheim to go after him. He was attacked last night, and as I believed, his pride and ego were the two parts of him that were hurt the most. I have offered him the deal, I have told him that should he accept he is not to go after us.
I hope everyone's doing alright. I wonder if I should ask them, but I don't want to bother anyone. Mama always told me that I shouldn't bother people. But I feel lonely. I wonder why Alex won't talk to me. Is he angry at me or something?
I think things will get better after the trial. Even if we don't win, there's no shame in it. At least, I don't think there is. I am not entirely sure what other people would think about it though.

I guess it would be repetitive of me to say that the trial is coming very soon, but I hope the participants got enough training in. I'd wish the participants good luck, but apparently that's actually a bad omen.
Uhh, hey guys, sorry about last week. I don't know what happened but, I'm better now! I read about the trials by the way. If there's anything I can do to help I'll be more than happy to!
Thank god that's finally over with! And to think, I finally figured out which fairytale I was subjected to.
Jinxing is according to some an actual supernal ability. An ability made evident by "bad" things happening around someone; such as things falling for no apparent reason, things going off at inconvenient times, etc. This is considered a subconscious form of telekinesis.
Or it's likely only because the person is a complete idiot with bad luck ( Private )
Something odd seems to be happening to us. I have no doubt that it would seem otherwise to the gods. I do find it strange that I am compelled to speak briefly in Latin. I also feel as though I am close to some unknown god.
We got the talisman. We were also confronted by Banru, but none of us were severely injured. We didn't severely injure him either, but our goal was to get the talisman and get out. That's what we did.
Sharp weapons, fire, maybe hedge clippers are needed now. If you don't know what I'm talking about; just look at the doors. I suspect this is the work of Niflheimer, because I would think that nobody in this mansion would do something like *this*. And if you did? I can only feel sadness and disgust at you.
I am also pretty certain that Tohru, Zefiris, and myself will be searching for the fourth talisman soon.
I have-a feeling this-a day is gohna a be a real-a beach! Is-a eveerybody else-a speaking this-a way?

I wasa wondering if-a we got-a all the pisses of the reedle solved so we-a can-a finally make-a Meetatron all baeter? If-a not then-a we got-a some real-a work to do.
I need-a to get some-a shits of papaeh. Maybe thees-a whole-a theang will-a bih moh queeck if-a we all wrote what-a we a know on-a a piss of-a papaeh.

This-a day is-a really fooking annoying. I-a think-a I'm-a gonna to get a some-athing to eat-a. Maybe I'll-a eat a piss-a something.
That is not dead which can eternal lie. And with strange aeons even death may die.

The third riddle; it mentioned something about where Roman kings would bathe. I believe I've seen a place that appears to have columns much like that of Roman architecture.
It might not be right, but it's worth at least a shot.
