Mou~ here again, and back to square one... just great.

At least I have my powers, and at least I know Ryudo's safe... but, if you ask me, this was absolute lousy timing!

Really, there's this thing, and it's called manners, and I know you humans are really awful at it, and in my experiences gods are no better, but come on! When a girl's with a guy she likes, you don't wrench her away from him!

Just thinking about that twit moving in on my man while I'm not there makes my skin crawl...

Oh, Ryudo, my love...!

If you know what's good for you, buddy, you'd better make sure Elena keeps her little mitts OFF of you, got it?!

What's the use? It's not like you guys can even hear me from all the way out here in this tacky dump...

Ryudo, Elena... Damn it, I miss you guys.

I wonder if you two would mind that I'm adopting two kitties? I know that Roan would like the idea~!

Oh! Speaking of adoption... Sasusweetie! I know you're out there somewhere, and you really ought to help me find a place to live! A girl of my high class can't occupy just any building, and most of the ones around here are kind of hideous and untrustworthy looking, besides!

You'd better hurry, too... because those two little cats will need someplace safe, warm and cozy to sleep!

Mama's counting on you, sweetums~! ♥

Well, I'm certainly glad that whole Christmas shebang is over and done with, really, what a chaotic mess of nonsense gift-giving. There's a time for generocity, people, and it shouldn't just be limited to one day of the year, am I right~? ♥

So... in declaration of Christmas-hating... I haven't gotten anyone anything at all! I'm sure that doesn't come as much of a surprise for some of you, but Kuronue, D, Sasuke... and my ickle darling babies... I'll make it up to all of you by learning how to cook and making a feast for you all to dive into!

In the meantime... happy holidays and all that jazz, loves~!

Oh, and KUROBEAR, I promised D a dance at the ball, all right? So don't get upset if I abandon you briefly to cavort with him. It won't be all night, and that'll give you time to do whatever it is you do... ah, flirt with fancies, hmmm~? ^_^

Wh-what's going on?!

Sasuke, wherever you are, don't you dare go outside right now, it's a madhouse! I... I don't want to see anything bad happen to you, do you understand me?! And if you even think about disobeying me, I'll tan your backside black and blue!! Please... be all right, precious... please...

Kuronue! I'm coming over to see you!

I... I'm worried. I want to make sure you and Shura and the others are all okay. Keep watch! I don't want to get smooshed before I arrive! ♥

Sasori. Consider it done. Hope you're happy.

Kuronue... thank you for listening and hearing me out last night. I hope those new blankets are warm and comfortable... and thank you for the cloak. Also, I'm going out to look for supplies~! I think the place could use a little bit more light. Wouldn't want you to lose all your precious alcohol in the dark now, would we~? Don't wait up.

I need to get a job. My little endeavor doesn't seem to be working. Is anyone in need of an attractive, hard working female~? Hm...? Anyone? I can be a good bodyguard... or, um, you know, whatever else might be needed. I'm looking for a job that gets you out there! None of that boring desk stuff and filing... ick~! ♥

Sasuke... where are you...?

Shura, you had better stay home tonight. Do not argue, just do as you are told. As for you, Kuronue, you... you...

...Never mind.

If anyone needs me, I haven't a clue where I'll be tonight but wandering the city, so bugger off, my darlings~! ♥

Bugger off.

New... clothes...? I do so hope that this isn't a hint of some sort... Although, it is getting rather chilly as of late, but I could have settled for a cloak instead, you know? I'm not even so sure I should put on these things... not that they aren't in good taste, but a gift from the gods?! Please... what kind of fool do you take me for?!

I don't want to become some brainwashed oaf who wanders around - blunders around - and does their bidding, thank you very much. I'm sure I'll find ways to keep warm without their help! It's much unwanted, besides~!

Kurobear~? ♥ Tell me you have some extra fluffy blankets lying about for us all? That aren't, you know, god-given. Because I'll beat you senseless if you trick me, handsome~! I promise!
