Quest 137
[Private//Hackable by Friends]
And so another October comes and goes. And what a month it was, wasn't it? Monsters and witches and obnoxious bears and mad tea parties--and it was all back and forth, it seemed, wasn't it? We'd have a horrible curse, and then a silly one, and then back again, the whole month long.
I'd been right to worry about Rue, all those weeks leading up to October. And I think Blue is right--I should've known something was wrong when she approached me that day. I should've noticed, or paid closer attention, or anything to keep it from turning out the way it did, but...I didn't, and I lost my heart for it, and there's no changing it now. And it's been a month, and I don't seem to be feeling any worse for its loss, so that's one less thing to worry about, I suppose. I still do worry about Rue--I haven't heard any word of her in a few weeks, and I really ought to check up on her, if I can--but if she's decided that it's her punishment to avoid me, then there isn't much I can do to fix it. Perhaps now that October is over--well. I can hope, I suppose, and that's what I'll do.
At least the pumpkin patch--at least it was only a day's curse. And the monsters in it...were only part of the curse, and not real at all. I don't know what I would've done if-- I had to face Lolotte again, after all this time. A witch for Halloween, isn't that proper?
I couldn't do it. Even when I had her bound at my feet, even when I knew I should, I couldn't--I couldn't bring myself to kill her. Not when I knew it would kill her. I thought the arrows of love would only let me control her, not--it was an accident. I couldn't do it when it was on purpose.
I don't know if that makes me feel better or worse.
And then the visitors came, and stayed a whole weekend. Daddy came--and Mother, too, and Alexander, even! They were all here, and they all came to see me, and Mikaela came for Sam, and Tamaki was here, and--and so many people came, and it was all so wonderful...
I really do miss them all so much. And having them all here--my friends and my family, all in one place--it was like a dream come true.
Of course, some of the visitors were nicer than others. A fiancee? Honestly, why does this always--ugh.
I said I'd make it through October without letting the City get the better of me, and I did. I managed it. It was hard, at times, but I managed it in the end, and now...
Now it's November. And here I am. And things are still going on, and I still have plenty of things to concern myself with, that I've been putting off all this time.
And now, I suppose, I just start wondering what will be next.

Well, wasn't that a lovely way to spend a weekend? I admit, it was a bit surprising to see the visitors staying two days, instead of only one, but it's not the first time they've stayed more than one day, isn't it? But that was a long time ago, if I recall correctly. Still, it was lovely to see everyone that came, and to meet so many new people, too. Daddy managed to come again, and this time it seems that Mother and Alexander were able to follow him, so I got to see my whole family, and that was just wonderful. And I met a lovely girl named Giselle, who helped me to bake cupcakes for the party, but I think we went a bit overboard with that because now there's cupcakes everywhere that haven't been eaten. But we'll get to them soon enough, I suppose.
And now it's November, and October has come and gone, and here we all are. A month ago, I said that waiting for October was rather like watching a storm come over the horizon; now that the storm is past, I wonder what might be in store for the future? I'd hope it would be calm and sunshine, but on the other hand, this is the City. And winter is coming, after all.
But of course, winter means Christmas, and there's Givi Thanksgiving this month, and so there's plenty to look forward to, too.
...And my goodness--as of today, I've been here a year and three months. My, how time flies, doesn't it?
Sam, we're going to have a guest in the Warehouse for a bit--her name is Miss Alice, and she's a friend of Blue's, and she'll be staying with us for a few days. I'm going to pick her up on my way home from the Library today. I don't recall if you've met before, but I'll be certain to introduce you when I do; she's really very lovely, and I'm sure you'll get along just fine.
And yes, I know, I haven't forgotten what else today is the anniversary of, either. One of these days I'm going to get those pictures away from you, you know.
