    <content type="html">Flora and I were coming home from doing the groceries today when we &lt;i&gt;walked into a wall&lt;/i&gt;. Of &lt;b&gt;air&lt;/b&gt;. I couldn't see anything there, even when I cast Reveal (and I can see &lt;i&gt;everything&lt;/i&gt; when I cast Reveal), but the space was definitely solid, and I couldn't &lt;s&gt;fly&lt;/s&gt; Hover over it, either...!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then this man in a red sweater came towards me and started asking me about &lt;i&gt;Tetha&lt;/i&gt;, with multiple choices for the answers like he was one of my tutors when I was a child. All I know about Tetha is what I've read on these journals! &lt;s&gt;I even tried Mindreading him and got nothing. &lt;i&gt;This does not happen!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/s&gt; And then he had this...Agumon Hakase, I think the D-Comm said, watching me and Flora and taking notes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I guess you can't go down 32nd Street unless you know a bit about Tetha or something. :| It's so strange; we were able to pass that way when we went &lt;i&gt;to&lt;/i&gt; the shops...</content>

    <content type="html">They didn't even have to say it aloud. I knew what they were thinking; I &lt;i&gt;always&lt;/i&gt; know what people are thinking:&lt;br /&gt;"It's the creepy kid, go away."&lt;br /&gt;"Ivan, just stay at home this time."&lt;br /&gt;"Ivan, me and Isaac will handle this."&lt;br /&gt;"Ivan, Mia will heal this more efficiently."&lt;br /&gt;"Ivan, you're not strong enough."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;I was the strongest Adept of us all.&lt;/i&gt; I could cast more powerful Psynergy than Sheba, sooner. I could burn things just as well as Jenna and Garet. I could move far away objects without lifting a finger faster and more accurately than Mia and Piers. Isaac and Felix moved the earth? &lt;i&gt;I moved the heavens.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This world will not be saved by the light of the Golden Sun. Neither is it in flame that this world will be saved, nor in water, nor on earth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;It will be in the &lt;b&gt;wind&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/i&gt;</content>

It...sounds like she knew what she was doing. That is, she knew what she may have been sacrificing, and made that choice anyway. So... Don't let her sacrifice be in vain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And, um. Hinata's number no longer appears in my D-Comm. What does that mean?</content>

    <content type="html">So yesterday was a day to celebrate fathers...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's been so long now, but I still feel, sometimes, like I failed Master Hammet. If I hadn't lost the Shaman's Rod in Vault, he wouldn't have left and been held hostage in Lunpa... We did go back for him, yes, but I feel we could have, should have gone back &lt;i&gt;sooner&lt;/i&gt;. It's been a long time since then, and I haven't seen him since.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;s&gt;But I was never able to call him "Father".&lt;/s&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't mind having been raised by Master Hammet and Lady Layana, but sometimes I wonder what my real father was like. Something to ask Hama about, I suppose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Neon City is...interesting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font size="1"&gt;(OOC: Strikes are unreadable.)&lt;/font&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">So these other worlds have little attachments to people's names as a form of respect. I wonder if I should be using them? After all, when in Prox...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's been a lot of talk of "data manipulation" and "seals" on these journals lately. I still don't understand it all, and I haven't been able to find much about either term in Sanctity's library...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What exactly are we doing in this world?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[&lt;i&gt;An almost ridiculously high-pitched but freakin' loudmouthed and still inexplicably male voice.&lt;/i&gt;] And I got another question for ya! Do these 'digimon' things drop BIT when you kill 'em?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[&lt;i&gt;A male voice, sounding resigned.&lt;/i&gt;] It's all about the kill for you, isn't it, Squall?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[&lt;i&gt;Oh, look, it's the loudmouth again.&lt;/i&gt;] No way! HelLO~ what's my power again? OH, THAT'S RIGHT, STUNNIN'. Not killin', stunnin'; it means they're alive to fight again some other time! I'm just askin'!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[&lt;i&gt;This one sounds like a big sister.&lt;/i&gt;] I know it's been centuries but I STILL don't see why you'd want to hurt people in the first place. I know it can't always be avoided but you seem to take such pleasure in it...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[&lt;i&gt;Loudmouth.&lt;/i&gt;] Who said I was talking to you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[&lt;i&gt;And now what seems to be the voice of a little girl.&lt;/i&gt;] &lt;font size="1"&gt;Guys! Stop it! PLEASE!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[&lt;i&gt;This one's obnoxious, isn't he?&lt;/i&gt;] Aww, look who's talking. It's Haze! What are you going to do, turn INVISIBLE on me?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[&lt;i&gt;It's the big sister again...&lt;/i&gt;] SQUALL!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[&lt;i&gt;And now back to your regularly scheduled Ivan.&lt;/i&gt;] Okay, come back, come back!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[&lt;i&gt;A few 'whoosh'-type sounds, a bit muffled.&lt;/i&gt;]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Um, please excuse my Djinn. I let them out for five minutes and Squall feels the need to comment on this device... At least I can tune them out when they're back in my head...</content>

    <content type="html">I think I've gotten the hang of this device... It's intriguing, everything just shows up at the touch of a button; I can't say I've seen anything like it before, and it doesn't appear to be running on Psynergy either... But why I'm writing a journal (I think) at a time like this...!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I fell asleep in Vale and it looks more like Lemuria here; yet the civilization appears far too advanced (perhaps this is what Piers was saying it looked like in the Golden Age?), and it seems mostly inhabited by monsters. None of my friends are around. I haven't sleep-summoned for a &lt;i&gt;long&lt;/i&gt; time but Flora's around, and she looks different, and for some reason I can't recall her. I still have all my other Djinn with me, which is a relief, but I know I'm not as strong without Lull, Aroma, and Luff set...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wish there was a way I could find out what was going on. I tried talking to some of the monsters and they just spouted something about "data" and a "digital" (did I spell that right?) world, and then they'd spot Flora and go "bow chicka bow wow", whatever that means... Mind Read wasn't overly helpful either. Though I guess I should be grateful that A) they're not attacking and B) they can communicate at all...</content>
