[ so she didn't get elected. Nodoka had fun campaigning and met lots of people.  So she feels like she should repay Asuka for helping her with a gift of some sort. ]

hmm... I wonder what should make a good present... I need to find paints and pastels too...

[ Nodoka wanders the train looking for a hint or the art supplies. ]

I-I!!! I got nominated to be co-conductor?! I-I was never expecting something like that... Wh-What should I do? What if I get chosen?!

:: Nodoka is pacing around the train nervously ::

[ Nodoka is presently in the hallway sitting on the floor and trying to make copies of the map she drew. She is epically failing. ] Aboo... It's hard to redraw these just right... They only get messier and messier... awoo... I wanted to give one to my room mate... I need some sort of gift...  aboo aboo...

:: Nodoka had only just ended up onboard the train and had decided to explore for a bit.  After all, she wasn't likely to find a way home if she couldn't even navigate the train she was stuck on.  Her pactio card was gripped nervously in her hand, since it was a bit comforting to have a reminder of Negi, and she had her blue-tooth like device on just in case she had to whip out her book... Which was very unlikely. ::
A-awoo... this place is so big... It's a really nice train. I've never been on a train that you spent the night on...
:: The bookworm ministra stopped in the lounge to look around, a smile on her face.  Even if she was stuck here it was a pretty pleasant place to be stuck, right? There was no reason to be sad. ::
I wonder if I'll meet more nice people here... yeah. It won't be so bad, right, Nodoka?
:: Yup. Talking to herself. But even when she tried to keep a peppy attitude Nodoka still had lingering worries; she had just left her friends in a pretty dire situation, after all.  It was hard not to worry a bit. Her smile faded for a brief moment and "hon-ya" looked down to sigh. ::
Negi-sensei... I hope you're okay...

I have plans to recycle this journal for another RP. If you're a member of memento_eden then please friend remove hon_ya !

All entries before this one were for Memento Eden and are being kept for the sake of the memories. =3
Thank you!

U-um...does anyone here know much about vampires? I-It seems that...where I come from... This is going to sound crazy but... My classmate and I... we get attacked by a vampire...
... Aboo...  I probably sound crazy right now... But I'm not sure if the issue is ever resolved...  I want to be helpful when I get back...
Any information would be appreciated...  I would try books but... I'm sure first hand accounts would be better... awoo... I'm a bit scared now...

I've gotten so many gifts...I don't know how to express my gratitude...and on top of these lovely present I've remembered so much...
um... I guess...First I'll try with some thank yous...
- Edward: Thank you very much for the books! I've been wanting these for a while now... If there is some way that I can pay you back then please let me know...okay?
- Eliwood: Th-thank you... the gloves are perfect! My hands aren't freezing anymore and it's still easy to turn the pages of my books with them on... So thank you very much!
- Fuuta: It's lovely...really...thank you. I'll treasure this forever. I've been needing a journal...oh and um... about the gifts I sent you... s-sorry for sending so much! I-I...I wasn't sure what you'd want so... I tried everything...
- Itoshiki: ...um...Thank you... I think. I-I'll keep that in mind...?
- Lavi: Yay! More books! I've never read these before and they're all very interesting! Thank you so much! B-but...I forgot to give you a proper gift, didn't I...? I-I'm sorry... Is there anything you'd want..?
- Sanaki: They're wonderful... Sanaki, thank you so much. I just finished reading the first one today. O-Oh! Lavi and Simon got me some wonderful stories...Would you like to take a look? They're quite interesting...
- Simon: This is a very good story so thank you so much! You have wonderful taste, Simon. Do you like stories like these? I'm sure I can find you more stories with sword fights if you want.

Once again...Thank you so much, everyone! Please stay safe, okay?
O-Oh! And I've got a room mate again... um..."MOMO"-san? I'm your room mate, Nodoka Miyazaki! I haven't gotten a chance to introduce myself, or our kitten, Sven... Are you okay with us having a cat...? L-Let's try to have a talk...maybe? If you're not busy...

umm... Happy Holidays everyone...  I know this is a bit late but... I bought everyone some chocolates and candycanes... um... Let's all keep doing our best for the sake of the library and everyone who visits... okay?

I-I'm sorry if my gifts seem silly...  I wasn't sure what to get for you...

( ooc; Mods, I included this in the Christmas Tree costs... Probably 30$? )

U-um...When were a bunch of castles built here? I don't remember seeing workers come in... They're very pretty, though. It makes me feel a bit like a princess to be living here now...  But is it me or is everyone acting a little weird...?

[filtered to Fuuta]
Let me know when you're free to go shopping...o-okay...? I-I'm.... I'm looking forward to it.

I-I remembered something..! The school I attend, Mahora Academy...It's a private all girl's school! I had a large class...And I remember all of their names... I had three best friends... And we were in a library exploration club! I also remember having a child come to teach our class...And one day, while I was walking home from the library, I almost fell and broke my neck...But he somehow saved me..

[filtered away from Fuuta, filtered to friends]
A-and... I remember... I had a crush on him...Aboo aboo!  I'm so confused...

[ 2% regain from the turkey on Class 3-A and the events of Chapter 1 ]

[ Nodoka is presently defending the library and trying to make sure no turkeys get in.  Her weapon of choice is a dictionary. ]

A-aboo aboo! I have to protect the books!
I-I hope Sven is okay at home... I was too scared to bring him here since turkeys are so big... They could really hurt him... And since I have no room mate I can lock the room up tight when I leave... So hopefully none of them can get into the room...  If there's a force on this Island that makes all this happen.. please don't let Sven get hurt!

[takes a deep breath]

B-but...!  If I get rid of the turkeys fast then I can go home! So...um... I'll do my best!

EDIT:
Um... I've caught a turkey... What should I do with it?

I think...I'll be okay...
I had a very strange dream... And I still miss Eve a lot... But I'm going to keep doing my best!
Sven still misses her too but he doesn't meow as loudly as he used to... But we'll be strong together...

Also...  I was wondering if anyone was still interested in the book club...The Christmas season is starting and there are a lot of holiday classics we could read....

[filtered to Fuuta]
How are you..? You had me really worried...In my dream you were acting strange... And I know it's probably silly to still worry about it but...um...aboo... Let me know how you're doing, okay?

And um... Are you free anytime soon?

Wh-What's going on?! This little kid... H-He's...
HE'S TRYING TO KISS ME!
He's so strong! He's like a cartoon super villain! With martial arts skills and strength that no little kid could possibly...
E-EEEK!
That girl who was trying to save me... The blonde girl.. HE BLEW HER CLOTHES OFF!!

S-somehow.. I-I don't think I want this little kid to kiss me... "An Adult Kiss" at that...
EEEK! He's coming this way!!!

Aboo aboo!!!
SOMEONE SAVE ME!!!

(( Nodoka has remembered a small portion of her Mahora Festival Terminator Kiss Negi adventure. 2% used on this.  The extra 1% is being used on some memory of Mahora Academy, but her mind is preoccupied with the kissing ten year old right now.

Speaking of, Nodoka believes she sees a ten year chasing her because he wants an "adult kiss". She may or may not mistake you for this kid if you run into her. If you're looking for her you will find that she is running all over the place. ))

I-I never realized how different it was to be in a room and know you had a room mate who might come back...
Even when she wasn't here I felt better knowing that I had a friend that would come back... or even just might be back soon, so I wasn't really alone...
But now that Eve's gone the empty room is suddenly really lonely... and it's so scary looking outside, which doesn't help much... Sven, who's usually mewing for Eve to come back, is quiet now and I think he's scared...
-sigh-
And I guess I'm a bit scared too...
I really wish I had a room mate again...
I really don't like being alone... aboo...

Eve...
where did Eve go?
Her name.. it's not on the list.
The list doesn't say she's my room mate anymore...
She left Sven... so that means she'll be back.. right?
We were room mates...
...
I think I might need to buy Sven some food... does anyone know where I buy cat supplies?

Um.. uh... my um... You see I uh...
I only have skirts so um... I don't know if I can go outside...um...I mean, it'd be risky to... C-Could someone,maybe... uh...
... I might need some retrieving my stolen underwear...
I-If.. well um... oh dear...
Can anyone help me get my underwear back..?

I don't think I can hold the book club meeting until I have them back..so...uh...I'm sorry... The book is Beowulf... in case anyone is still interested in coming... And wants to read it...
And um... I probably can't go to work.. until have them back...
So... I'm very sorry!!
This is so embarrassing...

[ Mods, Nodoka is missing a day of work ]

An onsen party... That sounds like it could be fun... But I'm not very good at handling crowds full of strangers... I wonder if I should go...

[filtered to friends]
Are any of you going...? I was thinking that I'd go if a friend went...so that I could have some company...

[she likes to think this is private]
I-I can't believe it...I'm going to dinner with someone... I don't know why but I'm actually kind of excited that Fuuta asked me... I-I know it's not a date... but... I still hope I can be good company...
[/what she thinks is private]

[filtered to friends, in theory]
U-um...Does anyone know what types of things you should do... when going to dinner with a friend...? A-any pointers... would be nice...

O-Oh dear...
Everyone seems to have changed... a lot...
I-I decided not to have Book Club this week since things are...chaotic...but... maybe later...
uh..
um...
More importantly...
Is everyone doing okay? I-I'm sure this has been very... confusing...and hard on some people... so... If you'd be so kind please let me know if you're doing well... or if I can help somehow...
sorry...to pry like this...

Okay...um... how was the book...? Little Red Riding Hood...

UM! The meeting this time... please let me know if you're coming in advance... So I can get ready.

O-oh... and um... If you want to attend and don't have the book... It's not very long so you can get a copy and read it now...if you want to try...

Th-thank you...everyone...
