I'm glad the walls are back, even if they did come with evil flowers from an evil little ghost girl. I'm kinda wondering what's with the thorns in my room, though. They're kinda depressing, and more than a little bit creepy.

Everything is pretty damn depressing, now that I really look.

Aw maaaaaan! I don't wanna be little again! The last time I was this small, all the bigger Devils picked on me for it and took me an' Big Brother Aion both to fight them off! And he's not here now and I just know I'm gonna get made fun of again!!!

I'mma be on the playground. Anyone who calls me names is gonna get whupped!

Well, that was...interesting. Can't say I'm not angry about having my emotions toyed with, but...it was kinda nice to see an event where nobody died horrible, twitching  painful deaths for a change.

Hey Paine?  Sorry I came off so...weirdly.

And Reno? Just...just stay away.

I...umm...

Miss...Paine? Someone's left chocolates for you outside my door...if you'd like to come get them, I'm in 634. Or...or I could come to you...if you wanted...and uh...if you don't want them, I guess I'll eat them myself...

What's with this feeling? Butterflies in my stomach...like...but I've never even met this woman...oh, god...

Maybe I should have gone with a teddy bear, instead of a tiger. Creepy would be a welcome improvement over bloodthirsty, right now. And the closet door's not gonna hold for too much longer. Oh damn it I wish I had Rosette's gun still, or that I could get around that seal a little more.

At least the toilet monster seems a little too intimidated to try biting me, now. And speaking of toilet monsters, if ( Read more... )

...So, some of the questions I've had about this place got answered in that mansion, at least. But for every answer, there's a new question now. I guess that gives me some food for thought for a while.

I had already figured the Host might not necessarily be the one in control here, but now...could it be possible that the Manager and Apprentice are ( Read more... )

It's the sky, just like at the Order before a big snowstorm. That's a nice Christmas present, I guess. But this place...it gives me chills. It takes something inhuman to wreak this much bloodshed, usually...Could he have possibly been brought here as well? Seems like something thet Host might do...

Right. Get a grip, Chrono. You've seen worse.

Hey. ( Read more... )

Looking back over the journal entries, it seems like during those two weeks or so where the little ghost girl possessed people, the Host wasn't entirely in control. The announcement that that whole event, plus the battle with the reflections that followed it, was just a mass hallucination, only makes me more sure of that ( Read more... )

I'd forgotten how morbid it gets to be, when your only company is your own thoughts and memories. Even sleeping doesn't make them stop coming.

I thought I'd be able to handle the loneliness. Maybe Aion was right. Maybe being around humans for so long...has broken down whatever natural defenses a Devil has against things like loneliness.
