*A series of slamming of doors and grumbling can be heard before Ed kicks open the door to his dorm room growling to himself as he throws his bag against the wall a load Clang being heard as Metal (Or so it sounds like) is slammed against concrete.* Fuck this…Not only did my elemental go crazy on me and fricken obliterated my Arm and leg but it was such a idiotic sounding story Wriny fricken beat me to a pulp with her fucken Wrench….all because she thought it was all just some excuse…

And it’s all that retarded Princess’s fault…Why’d he have to break that fucken vase…*goes to the fridge and pulls out something that sounds like a ice pack from the fridge.* Doesn’t help that both my neck and side isn’t fully healed yet…My wounds seem to be healing far more slowly now…maybe it’s because I’ve been using the red stones power too much?....*hums for awhile* …Maybe this is for the best, not like I wanted that crap in my system anyway…

And here I go talking to myself again…*sighs* Man I need to see someone but until these wounds heal over I can’t…otherwise I’ll be asked Questions…

…I hate Questions…mostly ones I can’t answer…*sighs deeply and then gasps as he looks over at the computer* OH Gawd no…OREO! You turned on the speaker! WAIT DON’T, BAD CAT DON’T PUSH THAT BUTTO-

So I'm back (like just back. Put down my bag two seconds ago). This place is up to it's neck in problems apparently. Something about powers that are going out of whack. What exactly was the cause...anyone know?

I guess I'm one of the lucky ones - no powers = no opportunity for them to get messed up.

So, who's going to catch me up on what's been going on while I've been away?

I've decided to not leave my room until recent matters are dealt with. Muraki-sensei, forgive me.

Sensei-tachi: If you would please send my assignments to my dorm, I would greatly appreciate it.

...Chaos, the next time you say 'Vincent, don't worry about it! It'll be fun!' I am running away from home. I mean it. Rufus, what in the name of HAELL persuaded you to let our resident pyromaniac near the cooker?! I'm still trying to get all the stuff out of my hair!

Grr. 

...It was fun though,

Still playing around with designs for a replacement gauntlet. With everything that's happened lately, I haven't actually started working on it...But speaking of which - Gaara? Can we talk about your collar? You and Al never got back to me. 

If anyone's looking for me, I'm heading to the library after class. Going to research my second elemental before I decide if I want to take it up as a class. 

And Chaos - no, I'm not telling you what it is yet! *grin*

[ He's working on Laguna's little data-stick thing. ^^ With his hand-held, since there's nothing else to work with. ]

Fucking hell, this thing's complicated...Laguna, couldn't you at least have gotten me some of the code to this thing? *Growls, typing on his palm-top.* Bloody official encryptions, they never have a normal key...

Maybe a clockwise double spiral? If we sub in the numbers six and nine...Right there...And then assume they didn't have the file space for too-complex a substitution system, so there can only be...

Damn. Ok, maybe not. *Sighs, the creaking of bed springs.* Except...

Hey, Laguna! Does this mean anything to you? This bit might be a list of test subjects...See the initials? Couple that with the numbers and I think...*muffled sound, beyond the hand-held's range.* Yep. Names and birthdates. 

...Shit, Laguna. *Quietly.* There's over two hundred of these.


[ His palm-top can't pick up comments till he gets back to school, so if Seifer leaves any messages, he won't get 'em yet. ^^ ]

I'm going to stay in my room. With all these problems that are happening with people's... elements and talents, I do not wish to go wandering about. Accidents with my talent aren't something that should be experienced.

I've become somewhat of a recluse lately. I.. haven't been sleeping so well, and I didn't want to end up being cranky about anyone. I've been having some pretty vivid dreams... it sounds so childish, but I've not been wanting to sleep, just to avoid them. And that isn't a good cycle to get into. I've been so tired, it's enough just to get my homework done on time. But it seems to have passed now. Luckily it only seems to come in phases.

Niisan, Gaara, Rufus, Shiz, Laguna.. .ano, everyone. I'm sorry. I should have at least tried to post something but.. even looking at the screen made me feel sleepy. I can't remember much of this past month at all... just classes, faces..

Give me a week.. I'll be back with everyone. The good thing about this elemental flare up is that my light element is helping me sleep better anyway. If I can get back on schedule.. I know that I'll feel a lot better. But.. it sucks that I can't see Gaara... or niisan. They have dark elementals... what if I ended up hurting them?

Naturally once I finally get the nerve to get out of my room my stupid abilities get messed up again.

Damnit.

I'm not dead, guys. 

Who wants to hang out?
