[There's a yawn, the sound of a hand hitting the journal almost methodically. Then, a sleepy voice:]

Hm? That's strange. My alarm hasn't rung yet. [A pause. Another yawn.] Maybe I'm just growing accustomed to having proper amounts of sleep again. [After all, she hasn't been sleeping very well ever since her father...no, it was too early in the

[is so tactful right now, just talking to a newcomer like what.]

Since... what, living in a box?

[suchpersistence]

[Where is that sound coming from? A stifled gasp of surprise, perhaps, as she picks up the journal roughly.]

Did ... did this book just speak to me? [Pause.] No, that's ridiculous.

[impermissible]

Yeah, talking books? Pretty ridiculous, no lie. Luckily for you, it's not a creepy book: it's some random guy speaking through the pages.

...not that that's going to be making any more sense, but-- ah, what're you going to do.

[suchpersistence]

...You -- what? You claim that this is some sort of sophisticatedly camouflaged communications device? That ... [A sigh, then:] ... this must be a dream.

[gotcharm]

N-No way.... Senpai?

oh god i think i forgot to mention this in my ooc intro, but mitsuru's from mid-december!

[suchpersistence]

[And now, a more familiar voice emits from the strange ... journal. Communication device. Whatever it is. What a peculiar dream. She speaks more to herself than anything, but of course the journal picks up on it:]

Now I'm hearing Takeba's voice as well.

good to know!

[gotcharm]

Yeah, it's me.

Okay... I know this is going to sound really crazy, but this isn't a dream.

\o/

[suchpersistence]

Elements of a dream usually claim as such, yes.

[steelbound]

Mitsuru-senpai?

[suchpersistence]

[Oh, more voices.]

...Arisato, too?

[steelbound]

Mn, it's me. Like Yukari mentioned, this isn't a dream...

[suchpersistence]

[Now, she's starting to sound almost amused.]

You'll have to be more convincing than that.

[fanassaults]

[ Was totally creepin' and reading the other responses...and now, there's a chuckle. ]

It's quite real, I'm afraid. I'd liken it more to a living nightmare than a dream, but that depends on your experience!

[suchpersistence]

[...Nightmare?]

But I haven't come across anything truly frightening yet.

[fanassaults]

Hm, well...that's true. But it never pays to judge things quite so hastily.

[suchpersistence]

A dream can often turn into a nightmare in the briefest of moments, that's true. But that's all it is ... an unpleasant dream.

[bedninja]

[OH HEY LOOK HANDY PEOPLE SAYING WHO THIS IS thanks Yukari, Minty.]

You are Mitsuru? The girl with the very long hair, is that correct? Hello!

[suchpersistence]

[Is now slightly less fazed by the voices coming from the journal.]

Yes. I suppose it is quite long right now.

[bedninja]

It is nice to speak with you finally! My name is Pharos. Minato and the others have spoken with you already and explained this place to some extent, I hope?

[suchpersistence]

They claim it is not a dream.
