⓪⑦ ; "Hey Naem when are you going to address that thing--" "NO LET ME MOURN YUKARI"

[docfoul]

My apologies for making another post so soon, but I feel the need to announce that, today, the community just got a little bit poorer. Although I don't suppose there are any among you who understand better than I what a pleasure it was to speak with Yukari Yakumo. On an unrelated note, I have discerned that most other worlds are preparing to celebrate, or in the process of celebrating the winter solstice. I would have loved to invite all of you to my apartment for this occasion, or even for the impending human New Year - I could have even arranged to make it happen, say, yesterday from my perspective, for ease of scheduling - but I see others have already made plans. Ah, well. Perhaps next time, if I live long enough to see one. Lastly, I am as bothered by the changes in this blogging platform's coding as the rest of you and, for the time being, I have enabled customised comment pages. I hope you find the colors soothing, along with the convenient presence of a dropdown menu to choose icons from and the ability to use subject lines. I am always, even on the Internet, an excellent host.

It's a bit clunky, isn't it?

OKAY WOW COMMENTS LOOK PRETTY UGLY ON THIS LAYOUT TOO

[docfoul]

It can be quite bothersome to keep track of longer conversations. Obviously, I say that out of sympathy. I have no problem with it, since no matter how long a thread gets, it is still no more than a speck of virtual dust compared to the history of the universe.

Testing.

[oceanicbutterfly]

I can use my icons again!

[docfoul]

The new icon picker has quite an assortment of problems to be sorted out, you see.

I'm sorry. A lot of people suddenly left...

I'm sure you will! Or, um, I guess you would know better than me...

It looks nice!

[docfoul]

Will you ever fail to brighten my posts, Midori? I find it unlikely.

[100thbrokendish.livejournal.com]

Midori? Um, I guess it makes sense, because my name is Midorikawa Retasu, and I guess because green is sort of the thing with me... I mean, my birthday is even on the Day of Green -- oh, that's part of Golden Week, or, um, do you know what that is, too? So I suppose calling me something like that makes sense...

I don't think I'm doing anything special, though.

[docfoul]

I think it is a very cute nickname and, as such, it suits you perfectly. But, if you prefer, I will switch back to a more formal way of addressing you.

[100thbrokendish.livejournal.com]

Don't worry about it, it's fine, really!

Um... about your friend, is there anything we can do?

GIRL, JUST RUN AWAY BEFORE HE STICKS YOU IN A SCHOOL UNIFORM

[docfoul]

Midori it is, then. From what I understand, absolutely not. Her absence is beyond our control, just as many of the community's usual whims.

YOU MEAN THE STUPID WATERPROOF BATTLE DRESS ISN'T ENOUGH?

[100thbrokendish.livejournal.com]

This place loves to hurt people, doesn't it?

(seriously, look at this thing)

NO, IT'S LACKING SOMETHING.

[docfoul]

[PFFFFFT implying Scratch is hurt. You silly girl.]

It would seem that way. That is why I side with those who aim to change the community: to curb its destructive tendencies.

[Or to redirect them in a much more productive way.]

*MORE* GARTERS?

[100thbrokendish.livejournal.com]

To tell you the truth, I want to do something like that, too. At least to protect my friends.

MOOOORE

[docfoul]

I know. We are allies, yes?

TODAY ON FASHION DISASTER WEEKLY

[100thbrokendish.livejournal.com]

Of course! I mean, you're doing the best you can to keep this place from doing the things that destroy people for fun.

[docfoul]

It's good that you understand, Midori. You know, festivities aside, I really would love to have you in my apartment.

[100thbrokendish.livejournal.com]

Do you need my help?

[docfoul]

Now, let's not get ahead of ourselves. I would like to have you here because you are a lovely young lady, first of all.

[100thbrokendish.livejournal.com]

I suppose I could... I mean, I need to know what I can do to help people agree with what you, um, what we need to do, anyway.

Aaaa I am off to bed now but I think we need to plot!

[docfoul]

I will be prepared to receive you, I assure you.

Okay! o7

[100thbrokendish.livejournal.com]

I hope I don't cause you any trouble.

[makewayforroze.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry your friend is gone.

[docfoul]

Thank you for your sympathy, Roze. Who knows? She might still return.

[makewayforroze.livejournal.com]

[She offers him a warm smile.]

She may. A lot of people have.

[docfoul]

I must wonder if I will still be here to see her back, though.

[makewayforroze.livejournal.com]

Are you leaving?

[docfoul]

In a sense of the word. I will die soon.
