It's Junpei's birthday again! Except the number of his friends still stuck in the Mall has dwindled over the last two years, so much so he suddenly find himself with no one to invite for his birthday. His cake, served in the decorated but empty karaoke reception hall, had a distinct flavour of Forever Alone.

*It's Junpei(s)' birthday! The party's at the Mandragora on the second floor! There's karaoke and terrible singers! And you're all invited!!!*

Oh hey, it's the Trismegistus who used to be Junpei. He's perched on the fountain, the tag that Shura helped him write in his hands. The one that helps people jar his memory. That no matter what he does, he always forgets again. Always. No matter how many times people remind him who he is, and what happened, he will always forget again and return ( Read more... )

There's a Trismegistus without a Junpei (?) in the Mall. Trying and failing to free itself from ropelights that it managed to get itself tangled in.

Apparently it's quite a step to go from cooking an omelet to baking a birthday cake, even with the help of a Haughty Maya who loves to lick bowls. Sorry Shinjiro. Junpei is going to clean up the kitchen and go buy you a shop-baked cake instead.

It's like that one nightmare. You know the one. Everyone had it. The one where you're in school in your underwear, and there's an exam, and you didn't study for it, and shit shit shit you can't go home and then you wake up and phew it was only a dream ( Read more... )

*In the door hallway you'll find a Junpei wearing a red jacket and what appears to be three fat female mummies who each have a sun for a head opening doors and closing them. One door had the words 'Duel Academy' crossed out.*

Typhoon...hot spring...*He pauses and sticks his head in further. He immediately withdrawls from the door, looking grossed ( Read more... )
