[For the most part, it's just the sound of pages turning and an occasional "No way", "Sheesh, easy!", or "Woah". Okay, the wind outside too -- but she's not out there, no sir. This goes on for a very long while, because ... you guessed it ... she's reading and listening to all of the past entries made through the journal, hacking anything that's

Mm. Probably. ♥

[researchin]

I kinda doubt that ... maybe they're just lazy.

Who're you, anyway?

[playsrough]

They sound more like demons to me, and demons looove to toy with humans. They're probably just messing with everyone to entertain themselves. Life can get kinda boring after you've lived for thousands of years.

You're ... not a very good journalist if you can't figure that out for yourself.

[researchin]

Demons, huh? Not surprising, but are demons really the only beings that toy with humans and live for thousands of years?

I was just trying to be nice by asking first, instead of just mouthing off! But from what I've read and from what I can see of you through the journal, you must be ... Ed-- ... no no, Etna, right?

[playsrough]

Nah, there are others. Demons are the most ruthless though.

Yoou got it. ♥ Beauty Queen Etna.

What about vengeful gods? If demons, angels, vampires, and all sorts of people can be gathered here like this, wouldn't that be one of the kinds of people you'd think would be responsible for bringing everyone here?

Beauty Queen? Do all the beautiful demons get titles like that or what?

[playsrough]

The only god I've heard of is the God of Destruction, Alexander. He's kind of a flake, so it's not very much to go by. The way I see it, gods don't exist in the same sense that humans think of; they're just really strong people who, because of their power, get the title "God". That doesn't mean they're invincible, and it says nothing about their wrath either. They're just powerful.

So, if you wanna call 'em "Gods", you can because they have power. But it's not likely that they're really that. It'd be more like how a kid is the god over his toys. He controls what they do, but he isn't really all powerful except to the toys.

Nah.

Woah, that's pretty deep, thinking about it ... yeah, guess you're right. Well, whatever the Malnosso are, I guess we're just gonna have to deal with them until something stronger comes along or until we all raise arms, join together, and kick them out ourselves!

... people have thought of doing that, right?

I'm curious though~ ... did you have to do something special to get a title like that?

[playsrough]

Could be. Join together, huh? That probably won't happen, even with all these "heroes" around. There are just too many conflicting personalities.

No idea~ That's one of the first things I asked, there wasn't much of an answer.

I might have just hacked it. ♥

[researchin]

That totally fails! If they really are "heroes", they should be working harder on working together, right?

Seriously? I hope everyone here didn't just roll over and give up already ...

Well, that's one way to beat the system. I'd go off and tell you all about how awesome it would be for you to just go off and get that title the real way, but I doubt demons care about that.

[playsrough]

Hell if I know. I'm a demon, remember?

You're the journalist, right? Try making a report on it.

Yeah, we don't. ♥

[researchin]

True, true ...

I can't make a report until I get more information from these guys! Sure, I read most of the stuff they've written and all that, but it's not the same as getting the words straight from the source!

Yep, just like I thought, heh.
