Oh geez! I thought it was just a heat streak! I'm glad the TV's emergency broadcast system is good for something! I'm off to help! I may not work at the mall anymore, but I'm always here to help! I just have to remember how to get out of Augury. I can never find the entrance/exit!

Let me know if anybody needs help! I have a truck! Kiros and Ward are out to help, too. I'll wake up Ellone and she'll help, too. Text any of us if you need help!

Hey, everybody. I just wanted to give you an update and reach out to my family out there. First, I'm okay. After the world went crazy, I was spat out to this strange world in a town with sheep and bards and such. It reminded me of Istory Falls. Anyway, it was really nice there, so I took the chance to just relax and think about life. When the portal opened to the Chaos Realm again, I gave it a lot of thought, but I finally decided that it was time I returned to Esthar and kept an eye on my home world again. Raine, Ellone, Kiros, Ward, if any of you are reading this, know that's where I'll be. If you're returning home as well, I can't wait to see you! If you plan to stay, then come visit me sometime soon so that I know you're all safe, okay? Even you, Ward!

Maybe I'll visit Mallboro from time to time, but for now, I intend to return to the Chaos Realm only long enough to find my world and take the first portal home. It was great meeting all of you! Locke, Ellone, thanks for all the great articles! I'm closing down the cafe, but I'd love if you kept the magazine alive. Maybe open it up for anybody to write an article or something! Whatever works for all of you. I hereby give you permission to continue my magazine without me though! Ha ha ha! I feel so formal and important! Like a president or something! ...wait, I am that! Wow!

Good luck, Chaos Realm. I wish you the best.

Today is very strange. Chaos's forces have apparently made a move on Cosmos's forces, and now Chaos and Cosmos are going to face each other in the mountains! What's even weirder about all this is that NORG, Shoe, and I have been asked to spectate the events! I think it's because NORG and Shoe are third party and I'm a reporter, but it's still strange to invite somebody to a fight just to watch! Oh, and you know what's even weirder? Rinoa bumped into me today and said something very....unlike her, then shoved a bag full of crystals into my hands. She said something about "bring these to the fight so that I can fix my krapper." Somehow, I could tell she said "krapper" and not "crapper." Either way, not very Rinoa-ly...

This all feels like deja vu, too. Is it weird that the strangest day ever can seem like you've done it all before?

The mall is so quiet lately. Ever since Great Mallboro parked over at Prosperity, we haven't seen as many customers. What a drag!

A lot of people have complained that their friends are being held hostage over there. Luckily for me, Raine and Ellone, my two gals, are still okay. Kiros and Ward are another story, but I'm sure they'll be fine....right? Hrm, guess we'll see!

I wonder what's going on in the world. Sephiroth, Jecht, and a couple more people headed off to Prosperity to see what was going on, but I'm totally out of the loop! Some reporter I am! I should do some investigating. Just...where? Prosperity, maybe? Calamity? Maybe even just right here in Cynosure! Such tough decisions. . . . Well, I'm a leader, so I should know what I'm doing! .....right?

Dah! Leg keeps cramping up under the desk. Guess I'll go grab something to drink.

What a bummer. Rent went up and salaries went down. We can't live at Caraway Manor anymore. Ellone, Raine, and I are going to have to find somewhere else to live. Man, what a lot of life changes in not a long period. Had to fire my friends, now I can't afford to live in 1/3 of a mansion. What a drag, right? Unless Ellone is planning on moving out, we've gotta find somewhere new to live.

Ellone: Any ideas? I think Empire Estates might be nice. Steiner and Beatrix live there, and they seem to like it. There's also Istory Falls. We can live in Squall's old place. I hear he got kicked out because Rinoa got fired from her job. Too bad for him. We could also see if Squall wants to live with us and move somewhere like Shin-Ra House. Their Cetra's Garden would be nice and still let us all have our own bedrooms. We'd have to contact Squall about that though.

I'm up for anything, but I do need my own room with Raine. I mean, I don't need need it, but I'd like it if possible, which it is.

Wow. Things are gonna be different after this downsizing. I ended up letting my two best friends go. Kiros and Ward and I are the three amigos. Gonna be weird without them.

Now that they're gone, I'm trying to think what's gonna happen to EoM Cafe. We can't run a bakery without a baker! I might convert the whole place into a news stand (with maybe like, coffee, or something). But I think with so much going on in the world, we can't cut out the reporters, so we've gotta do our part and spread the news. Locke and Ellone are going to keep reporting things, even if they're just for laughs. We need humor in times like these.

I should start reporting on something, but what is there to report right now? Not much seems to have changed. I can't decide if that's good or bad....hmm....

Locke: Sorry to not jump on it sooner, but in light of our amazing influx of umm, news, I think I might need another writer for Mallboro Maniacs. You were always on my mind for a hire, but I couldn't bring myself to fire or demote anybody until now. People are more interested in news and less interested in "that damn music" as people have called it, so I will likely let Julia go in favor of hiring you. That is, if you're willing. We miss you, and I don't think you had a terrible break-up with Ellone, so I don't think working together is out of the question, right? Besides, you're both reporters, so you aren't even in the restaurant all that often anyway. It'd be Part Time. Sorry, it's the best I could do.

....I was getting too close to Julia again anyway. Even though I know I'm faithful, unfortunately, Raine does not. She says she knows, but everybody has doubts about others. Even if it's only a teeny tiny percent. Heck, a lot of people don't even know for certain about themselves! But Raine has mentioned how she's seen us in there "flirting," even though she knows I talk to everybody like that! Sheesh. She's like "I saw your leg cramp up!" and I mean, how is that anything? Everybody gets leg cramps every now and again, right?

Oh well. None of this compares to what I saw on that mountain. Chaos vs Cosmos was epic! I felt bad because I was the only one screaming when people got hit. Not loud, but still. Then when people looked over to see who was making that noise, all the moombas start chanting "LAGUNA!" Embarrassing! But dang, after that, when the Minions turned on us, it was great to see NORG and Shoe fight! They're tough! I didn't know! I guess when Squall took him down in his pod under Balamb Garden, the pod was actually a handicap! Err, not that Squall couldn't have still taken him on! I'm just saying he's tougher than before. Anyway, epic!

So umm, I've been called away on business. Not by NORG, but by Chaos and Cosmos. They didn't say what it was, but I was told to come alone. That always means good things. *sigh*

This isn't an order by NORG, else Sephiroth might be the one going. They directly asked for me. Since I'll be leaving PGR, that'll mean that the new (wrong) assistant manager will step into my position for however long I'm gone, and that person is....Gau? Um, okay then! Good luck, Gau!

Very strange request to get from Chaos and Cosmos. I think this is a trap, but what I just can't seem to figure out is why anybody'd want to trap me. . . . Guess we'll find out!

I'm going alone, as requested, but I want you to have as much information as possible in case I don't return. I'm leaving in an hour for the mountains. Be back soon, I hope!

Umm, oops? If anybody sees Kiros before me, then please tell him that I'm so sorry for shooting him. He's in the hospital right now after I inhaled some strange fumes and was suddenly very....confused. Did anybody ever see Batman Begins with the Scarecrow that made everything look like monsters? I think the Scarecrow is in the vents is all I'm saying. And now Ward just keeps making fun of me for shooting Kiros because he's black. Apparently the two of them were together when I got all freaked and grabbed the gun I told myself to stash when days were supposedly repeating........ I wonder if days were really repeating? I really might be going insane.

.....Crap, and now I'm blind. I'm going to just hope I click the "submit " button. . . . These fumes sure are the pits.

How many times has this horrific day already repeated? NORG told us today that the day is repeating, but is this the first day? Have we done this before? Is this just the first time I was aware that posting to LJ would actually do anything? Hard to say. It's a crazy day. If I hadn't been told days were repeating, I definitely wouldn't have run to a computer. I've been running from pirates and such all day. Now, I'm hiding in my back room. The pirates are fighting now, so I got my store back....kinda. It's being used as a combat zone, but what isn't?

I sure hope it's in my schedule to check my LJ in the morning! I think I did this morning, but was it because of NORG? Or....I dunno. Anyway, I'll put a memo to myself just in case.

Laguna! Bring your gun to work! With tons of ammo! And grenades!

Oh crap. I think Chaos just beat the crap out of Cosmos! That can't be good for the balance in this world. I'd better bold that comment about gun + ammo. This bodes poorly on the bode-o-meter.
