And its something quite peculiar

I must not forget. No matter how sedate and serene things are at this moment.

The Teahouse is hiring, should anyone require employment. I am aware that more have joined this community system as of recently, if I am correct?

...Also, if anyone would like a pet rabbit...I have acquired a few. They are well behaved...but my reptiles eye them with a little too much interest.

Private

My God...

Someday he will return. Until then, in his absence I should begin planning. Things will all fall into place accordingly, I think.

Animals...certainly are portents of incoming danger. I am thankful my own were perceptive enough to pick up on what was happening...and that I myself was perceptive enough to understand their odd behavior as a warning rather than simply eccentricity.

Things seem stable now, and it is likely life will return to what it was before with little change. A few new laws will be proposed for safety and just as likely they will fall through with no new natural disaster to plague them.

I can only wonder how he is doing...

The Butterfly Menagerie is once more hiring.

Private

I wonder how he is doing. I haven't received word...

All in due time. We'll change the world, he and I. Even if I have to start changing it myself until he returns.

A business trip of indeterminate time...

Of course I will wait for him ~~There is no other choice. I will wait because I know he will wait for me~~

Loki and Inari need to be walked now.

Private

All he left was a blue rose on his pillow. It's beautiful...I'm going to create a new rose to match it's beauty. He would...appreciate that.

I wish I could have accompanied him. I know he is a phonecall away...but still...

Perhaps a walk will help. The dogs will be glad for the exercise.

I am not sure when He will return from his business trip...but I can only assume it will be whenever his business is concluded adequately. ~~I only wish I had been able to attend with him...but there was no one else to run the teahouse.~~

Inari and Loki are both getting quite large. Beautiful children, and so well behaved.

And a new addition. I have yet to name him. I may leave it up to Pein.

Everything is prepared, now all we need is the staff.

I ask that all of you interested in working for the Butterfly Menagerie Teahouse please contact me here and we will work out the details of your interview. You do not need to be Japanese, however I would ask that you conduct yourself properly.

A note here, and my partner or myself will respond.

Thank you for your time.

...Mmm...Loki and Inari are growing up so fast. I'm glad we have a high fence and a large yard for them. It makes it easier for them to exercise. A pity that Wonderwice-san is no longer here to play with them. They miss him, I think.

All has worked out accordingly, Pein. I think perhaps the basement room of the Menagerie will suit our purposes perfectly.

Come...I would like to take a walk this evening...if you would walk with me? Loki and Inari would like the stroll and with the clouds coming in it makes it easier to bear the heat.

This tragedy was pointless violence. No rhyme or reason.

In the wake of it though, my Partner has given me a good idea. I will be opening a tea house soon in Japantown. I am in need of staff, and had thought to use this in hopes of finding a few willing participants.

If you are interested, please leave me a message here.

I like to think it went well.

I will not need to return to school in the Fall. You do not mind that, do you, Pein?

Inuzuka-san. Thank you for inviting me to your gathering. It was ~~entertaining enough~~ enlightening.

Pein

My god...I do not think he suspects a thing. He is as kind and...as he always was...as ever. Only age has changed.

So little happening at the moment, I cannot help but wonder...

Shall I spend more time with...sensei?

Home renovations can be an interesting project to do in your spare time. Luckily ours was minor.

The pool will be well-used this summer, I think. Both by the puppies and ourselves.

I should go and get ready for work soon. Despite tragedy, the Museum carries on.

MEME

A) List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself.
B) Tag seven people to do the same.
C) Do not tag the person who tagged you or tag "whoever wants to do it."

1. I am adopted.
2. Origami is my main hobby, as you would see if you ever visited the cafe in the Museum.
3. I only have two piercings at the moment.
4. I do not make attachments easily
5. I have a fondness for Chinese love songs.
6. I am a religious woman.
7. I do not believe in your god.

The puppies are growing so fast. Growing into beautiful, long-legged creatures.

Beyond that, there has been little, aside from the excitement of others (both pleasant and unpleasant occurrences). Simply my job, and the time spent alone ~~or not as alone~~ afterwards.

Pein,

Everything is ready. I took every precaution. There will surely be more excitement on the way, and we should take advantage of it. Strike quickly...if that is what you wish for.

Beyond that, should I attempt to keep an eye on Kenpachi-san and his family? His grouping already seems to think you might have...shady...ties. They know little of your benevolence, I suppose.

I will maintain contact with them and others, if you wish.

Inuzuka san, thank you kindly for the gifts. The stuffed rabbit was particularly cute.

Loki and Inari are enjoying the backyard they can run in. Wonderwice, you're welcome over to play with them, if you wish.

Pein...I have an idea.

My God,

While you are work I will be attending to the guest room, since we decided to share the master. I will be installing shutters that can be locked with a key. Nothing that looks unpleasant, but that will keep anyone within from escaping.

I suggest keeping a small store of herbs. I would rather use natural medication than anything synthesized in keeping him from fighting back.

Now we need only bide our time.

As much as I like my apartment...it will be nice to move into a home.

Loki and Inari will need the yard to run in, I don't think the walks will help once they grow up. Saluki need to be able to run, I believe.

Perhaps I will be able to acquire more animals then. ~~they are far more interesting than so many people~~

I have work soon, I should finish getting ready. Only a half day today, but it should still be pleasant. Afterwards perhaps a stop for coffee or a trip to the park. I'm not sure, but I'm open to ideas...

[[ooc: Strikes = not there]]

2008-02-20T01:54:28Z

Mmm...

I Seem to have come into the possession of two sighthound puppies. Purebred Saluki even...

I need names for them.

Edit

They have been named Loki and Inari, respectively.

Hm.

Happy Valentines Day, everyone.

The interview went well. I'm pleased to say I have employment now.

With the weather cooperating though, I don't think I'll stay cooped indoors today. I think I'll head out for a little while...

Perhaps to the park once more. We'll see.

I keep hearing mention of some sort of Date Auction...it sounds...amusing. I'm fairly certain both parties will have fun with that.

~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~
01. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me."
02. I will respond by asking you five questions. I get to pick the questions.
03. You will post the answers to the questions (and the questions themselves) on your blog or journal.
04. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
05. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions. And so on and so on and so on...

1. What song would you play during a rainy day?
1. "Dark of the matinée" by Franz Ferdinand
2. Cotton candy at a carnival or popcorn?
2. Ah...perhaps a little cotton candy~
3. Are you scared of anything that moves?
3. Animals? No. I think there is more to fear from people than animals.
4. What are you most proud of in your accomplishments.
4. Making it this far in life, and ending up where I am, and where I am going.

I have an interview on Monday to cement it, but it sounded like I already had the job. I'll try not to assume.

The tea parlor on the second level of the museum proved to be a quiet haven. The lady who worked there liked the crane I made so much I let her keep it. It was only made with one of their napkins but...I suppose to each their own.

If I get the job, I will be working as a tour coordinator, I believe, with an hour or two devoted to being a hostess in the early afternoons in the foyer. I think it will work nicely.

.02

2008-02-02T03:51:16Z

Today has been pleasant...it was nice to visit the park once more, although it was a little chilly for my liking.

Tomorrow I'll head to the Museum and see about the possibility of acquiring a job. If time allows, I may spend some time just wandering and enjoying the peace and quiet there.

I took a few moments from a new creation to write out a quick tanka that came to mind.

Paper wings drifting
Silent in the still of night.
Your eyes follow me.
Side-by-side we continue
Together on the path.

Moving never seems to be an inherently...pleasant thing, though it must be done, regardless. It took minimal time to set everything in it to rights, leaving me more time to enjoy the scenery.

There is a lovely park near here. I'm glad my new apartment puts me closer to it.

But everything is ready and tomorrow I will start the new semester at Mishima University from my new home. A little late to start this semester, but I should have no problem catching up.

I will look into employment come tomorrow...
