So, I've been reading that dreaded site of time killing known as "TVTropes," and I stumbled upon the page for those infamous singing programs called Vocaloids. Amazing things, those. They even have live concerts, ya know?

In any case, I absolutely love the two halves of "Kokoro", done by the Rin/Len program. Why am I writing this? I just want to say it, that's why!

Great song, really...

10, 28, 10. Griefers.

It makes me sad to see people leave just because others torment them. We all have our surface problems, but the cavern is not the place to bring them.

Seeing this makes me myself want to leave, but I do not. I don't leave because though as sad as this makes me, I won't let it force me to leave.

Let be known that I will not tolerate such behavior! When next I see a griefer, I'll tell them to stop. When next someone is in trouble, I won't stand idly by!

And if any so called "Griefers" find and read this journal, let it be known that you will not be allowed to reak havok! Get this idea through your thick skulls:

LEAVE SURFACE MATTERS ON THE SURFACE.

And if anyone in trouble finds this journal, Just Ignore those trouble makers!

I'll wager that 90% of all griefing in cavern these days is one person, so, please, I'm begging of you, Let all this nonsense go!

_DTC

10/21/10

10, 21, 10. I'm of the Opinion the world's gone crazy.

Yesterday there was a strange...

Something must've gone wrong with the guy's KI or something, 'cause it was broadcasting this weird pattern of Beeps, squaks, and what sounded like broken fax machines and printers.

ALL. OVER.
THE. CITY.

I was down at the docks when it started, and the guy was up at the Tokotah Plaza.

With the recent KI bugs, I'm not really surprised. But Still.

This last month has been nothing but chaos. The other day, on a non technical level, two explorers started yelling at each other in the city. Something about letters and decisions, and a bit of unneeded use of the Ignore function, apparently. They weren't using their KI's, probably intentionally avoiding the Chat Log function.

That, or they were too into it to bother even looking at the blasted things.

Probably the latter, though. They seemed to be like a continually exploding Something-or-other at that point.

In some non-aggravating news, I got a couple of DotHack Manga at the bookstore the other day, and I got a movie soundtrack too.

Da Da Dah Daah... DUN DUN DUN.

It's so hard to write down music in word format. Bleh.

In an even more un-connected note: I FAIL AT CHEMISTRY!

It took me a whole half hour just to figure out one problem. {Probably didn't help that my head was bugging me for some odd reason.}

Seriously, Stoichiometry? {Did I spell that right?} I'm probably never going to get a job as a Chemist.

And that's okay with me.

Well, I've probably wasted enough time here already, time to go up to the surface and face the music.

Or, rather, the Language and Spelling tests Tomorrow that I have to study for.

......

I Hate my Life.

A buddy/Neighbor of mine has had Relto problems the past few days, for some odd reason his Relto book has blacked out like in the Bahro caves.

Four times.

Due to the most recent taking place in the Rainy Cleft, I've deduced that it's the work of a Bahro playing a practical joke. That, or the guy really has it out for him.

So, be on the lookout for any Bahro messing with Relto books!

Not that it'll do You any good, Journal-chan, No eyes and all.

Well, goes to show, this "Bomb" thing isn't a LITERAL bomb, but a Metaphorical Bomb.

People I THOUGHT I knew are acting like total IDIOTS! Kemy has insulted Megan, and Whil has said he doesn't take My opinion's seriously after a slight (UNDERSTATEMENT) argument. Both have earned the distinction of being on my ignore list.

I DO NOT Take kindly to my friends being insulted.

I DO NOT take kindly to Everyone acting like Jerks and Idiots.

I DO NOT Take kindly to this Situation.

What was something that could be Fun and Entertaining has degraded into a free for all SHOUT-Fest.

I'm Sorry, But this has gone on for far too long.

The Timer on this "BOMB" hasn't even gone off yet, and yet the results have been disasterous.

We've been sitting on the timer, holding it seconds from reaching zero. I think...

I think it's time that we set this firework off.

Once and for all.

_DTC

7, 10, 10. "Nice Job Breaking It"

I'm of the general opinion that a certain percentage of the Human Race is doomed to Fail.

Today there was a "BOMB" In Ae'gura. It was some fancy Robot like OHBot, but... Still.

I don't know what it did, or what it was for. People were being idiots and kept distracting the "Bomb" by making it reset it's countdown.

----

Ah... Dra Just Messaged Me, Apparently the "BOMB" Would reset anyways.

My Original Point stands: There was a guy, continually reseting the bomb's countdown, and being told off NOT to do it. By. EVERYONE.

He Still Did it.

So the maker turned off the "BOMB" and refused to turn it back on until the guy would stop.

And I left for Pellets, actually sighing and then saying I was leaving. Linds said not to, but that guy ruined it for me. LATER: Even though he left, and they restarted the "CountDown" of he Bomb. It still was ruined for me.

I've got to say this, though, I've NEVER seen my KI List So long in a LONG time! Eleven Buddies, and Five Neighbors!

I Still say a certain percentage of the human race is doomed to fail, though. As Long as we keep taking back bahro pillars, and being a general Baka in the behavior department, and doing all the things that are the reverse of how things should be...

Well. You get the picture.

I was originally going to end with "Now to work out some anger." But now I'm going to end with...

Now to see a couple of Gekomon about a few "B" T-shirts.

Wow, I haven't written in this in a while... Eh... That's the problem with journals. You start out enthusiastic for something, and then you Stop after a while.

Anywho, Someone came up with this new game to play in cavern. Basically, it's TAG.

T. A. G. Tag.

You know, hide in a spot while someone comes looking for you, Then run like A Bahro when they come near you? When "it" touches you, you become it.

The rules are a bit fuzzy on whether or not you can tag back, but... Meh.

Anywho, Linds, Dra, Tan, and Megan drew me into it a few days ago.

Speaking of that group, they've started a Hood. Edge thought it should be called "The Guild of Randomer" with the 's from the Nexus changing it to "Randomer's." Upon noting that there was too many "Guild Of"s, someone made just a hood called "Randomers."

I'll set aside one of my Alt. KI's to the Hood, but my Main KI isn't leaving U.O.

Which means I'm pretty much left outside if I don't switch KI's.

Meh.

Clearly, since this journal is ON Relto, I got it back. But Lost and found didn't find it. No, the book was just SITTING on my pillow, back at home.

04, 29, 10. "I'd consider her a Normal Girl"

Last night I had a very weird dream:

I was in a hotel room- kind of like the anime room at StarFest-, the lights were off, and there was a strange chill in the air. There was a small doorway into the room, with a crowd outside. There was a book shelf running along the left wall (entering the room), and a desk of some sort closer to the entrance.

Ah, I was in this hotel room with this girl, (Thinking back to the dream, she looked exactly like Yuki From the Haruhi series, only with dark, black hair) and we were looking around the book shelf, trying to find the source of the cold bursts filling the room. Before we could really look around, those Ghost Hunter guys from TV showed up and 'Shoo!'ed us out. I turned around, to look up at the back wall for a split second, to spot a borky A.C. right above the book shelf. I turn back to the girl to tell her this, but she had vanished.

I called out her name (of which I now can't remember) in an attempt to find her. Then the dream switched to another one of which I can't remember.

My only complaint is that I can't remember the girl's name out of this crystal clear dream. I'd go with "Yuki" for her appearance alone if I didn't have this strong feeling that wasn't what her name was.

Ah well.

Maybe I should look up the "Vanishment" Arc later today.

04, 15, 10. "And don't forget to Catch and Release, yo!"

[Deep breath]

Going to the convention tomorrow.

Pizza, frozen, thawed, baked, cut and chilled, is being prepared at the moment. I also got some P-cky at the store today. Po-ky are little biscuit sticks, about as long as a straw, that are covvered in chocolate. I'm currious to see how they taste.

Well, anyways, off to er'cana to feed the lake.

The Silo is HUNGRY.

04, 12, 10. "Just Work It! And Do it!"

I Played some Dejimon Battle today, Sala's one level away from evolving. That'll take a while though, as Terry's half way there, and he hasn't moved an inch XP Wise at all today. I Caught A Yoko yesterday! She's already one level away from learning a secondary attack. I tried catching a Toko today, but they all kept slipping away.

[sigh]

It's all fun and games until school comes along. I have a Language quiz tomorrow and a Math test on Thursday, for which I will study for both as soon as these pelets are done baking and have been dropped.

I hate school.

Just six weeks plus three days; Just Six Weeks plus three days.

Ah! And there are the pelets!

04, 11, 10. "Turn off, Ain't it?"

Something that's always stuck me as odd with the Pod Age's...Pods.

The Power.

For one moment, you could be sitting just fine in payiferen, watching the stars, and "BWHRRRMMMMNNN" Off it goes.

In Negilahn and Payiferen this makes sense. But for Dereno and Tetsonot, not quite as so. In Dereno (Not the actor) You're at the north pole, and it's prety much day time all the time. But what about night time? You'd have months of power outages! And Tetsonot, it's running on EMERGENCY Power only. And, gee, isn't it kinda obvious, IT'S UNDER~WATER!!?

[Sigh]

Regardless, Payiferen is a nice pod to sit in. The lighting's fairly nice right now. It's Mid Day, and the wind is actually rather soothing here, compared to Home, where it's always so Hard Pressed aginst things.

Yare yare. It seems that nomater where you go in the world, people LOVE to argue.

TO ANYONE AND EVERYONE:

STOP.

Just Stop.

Suck in your gut, be the better person, and LET IT GO Already.

Don't feed a fire that's already too hot: You'll just get burned.

I sware, if anyone ever finds this journal, and reads this entry, I'm not going to be upset. I'm not going to over react like Sharper did and just ABANDON the thing, still in plain sight.

To that point, I doubt anyone will EVER find this, considering I've disguised it as my Payiferen Book, with the tab locked.

Regardless, if anyone who might EVER find this journal while carring some emotional baggage reads this:

LET IT GO ALLREADY!!

Haru-nyan knows I will.

04, 04, 10. "About 3 cm."

I finished my ZPEFM MOC today.

It.

Is.

AWESOME!

Also, I Started re-watching Lucky Star again, and battled some dejimon. Terry and Sala are almost ready to Level up!

I also found some cool camera angles in Relto. I have to wait for the pics to develop though.

I'm going to a SciFi convention in two weekends! But, sadly, I have school tomorrow.

Just eight more weeks.

Just eight more weeks.

04, 02, 10. I thought... But I...? Huh? What?

Today I got a fortune cookie reading "A charming friendship is in the making."

That's rather fitting for my life right now.

They usually don't do that.

They SHOULDN'T do that.

But it did anyways.

03, 23, 10. Bouken Desho Desho?!!

Today, I got my own private Descent instance. Gotta love bahro magic.

Actually, I'm supprised that the Descent link is even IN The nexus. I mean, why is it there? Myst isn't there. The BaronCityOffice isn't there. The ErcanaCitySilo isn't there. EVEN The Spyroom isn't even there! Why is the descent in the Nexus?

It doesn't make sense to me. In the mean time, I'm looking around for things to do. Even with everyone returning to the cavern, there's not a lot to do. I could do markers. I could do the ages over again.

The one thing that I really have to do is feeding the lake. It's a sense of duty. Respect.

It's an Adventure, Right Right?

I don't know anymore. The world's seemingly gone upside down, and I don't know where to stand. I could say one thing, I could think another,but I-

I think why I'm feleing so down is just a case of the may melancholies.

I WISH IT WAS SUMMER ALREADY!

03, 20, 10. It's Over...

"Say, Cal, What's U.O.'s current pelet secore?" Ruki (My pet Ink seeking beetle) asked me after I uploaded my 155223 points.

"Why, it's currently..." I checked. "3029539 pelet points."

"Then you mean...?" Ruki started.

"Yes, It's Over Three Million." I replied with a sigh.

----- WHAT THE WHAT THE WHAT THE?!!?!?!?!?!

Echo McKenzie appeared in the City, had a...discussion with Prof. Lapin, then she visited our Tsogal Run! And now J.D. Barnes is In the city!

He says he's found a new section of the cavern.

WHAT IS GOING ON TONIGHT!!?

03, 19, 10. Oh let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...

I hate that song so much right now. There's approximately six to eight inches of snow outside right now. You hear me?

Six. To Eight. Inches.

03, 12, 10. Busy days ahead.

"I've got places to go and people to see." as the old saying goes. I don't know if I'll be able to make it down to the cavern this weekend or not...

I wish it weren't so, but I've got a lot to do before then. Like make a cake, recharge my MP3 player, among other things.

Ruki's laughing at this over-schedualing.

3/10/10

03, 10, 10. Of other things.

Things have quieted down a bit since our glorious return. It's quiet down here, in the cavern. I've found myself resigned to the routine of droping pelets into the lake, and hoping around ages. With every New KI I register, however, I seem to gain a new copy of the ages. It should be expected, of course, but it will give me something to do, I suppose, in the mean time.

[er'cana machinery scaning pelet, KI Regester, pelet drop, sploosh, glow]

The more times I take the journey, though, I seem to free more and more bahro. I can only hope it's to the right side. I Have to wonder, does the main journey do anything anymore?

I don't know anymore. Do the bahro appreciate it, by my taking and returning the pillars?

_Cal

----- What exactly happened?

I just had an interresting conversation explaing some history to a neighbor. He apparently had never heard of the Watcher, Nor of Great scream back in 2006. That makes him one of the explorers that were brought down WITH the scream.

I have to wonder now. WHAT Happened when we left the last time?

I'm currious now, Ruki is too. She's got this feeling something BIG is behind it. What it is, though, I don't know, I don't care, and I don't plan on finding out any time soon.

So, This afternoon, I fed the lake.



Then, I got booooooored, and messed around with markers.

Lots of fun!

----- They're Jamming us!

Strawberry chewing gum.

Someone decided to be clever a while back, pried open my KI, stuck some chewing gum inside, and sealed it up. No clue WHEN this happened, but with my KI now being used again, well...

The gum seems to have fried some of the internal circuits. Looks like I'll have to do some MAJOR repairs to it, or just get a new one. No clue which though.

Meh, off to Khon-san's Teledahn, then feeding the lake.

_Cal

03, 06, 10. What?

Yesterday, I encountered several things. One of which was being door caller for two Delin Runs, and one Tsogal run. Another was, as I was wandering the Halls of K'veer, a certain conversation occured over the Hood channel, I wasn't really paying attention, as it was a bunch of stuff about graphics on computers and the like, but then someone mentioned that the bahro had linked them to the surface on the last day, back in 2007.

I commented that I had left of my own free will, as the DRC had only a month's funding left. Then someone brought up the DRC, Seals, and some guy named Graystone. I have to wonder, WHY Would a Marine Biologist be coming down to the cavern? Maybe he'll have somesort of super Pelet recepie to light the lake. Or maybe he's just some random guy. I wasn't really paying attention to the rest of the conversation, though, as I had gone to a bevin to register another KI, { |)||+||<| # 03224662 } and by the time I returned, the conversation had switched to Food related topics.

Still, it's probably nothing. If this "Graystone" Guy shows up, he'll probably turn out to be some explorer having a good laugh at everyone.

02, 28, 10. Time just flies.

I slept in late yesterday, watched Two disks of Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles season two, went to dinner, and watched Doctor Who the rest of the night.

It was lots of fun.

Today, I slept in late again, did homework, talked over the phone to a family member in Hawaii, did more homework, and now I'm writing this journal entry.

Meh.

----- Gotta get back in time!

So, I went to a Party in the "Continous Cavern City Party's Bevin."

Lotsa music playing.

It was a LOT Of fun.

----- Oh, the joys of Net Six.

My KI's kept disconnecting from the lattice.

I'm not heading back down until It stops showing static.

_DTC

02, 25, 10. Are you joking?

Okay, so the other day My Er'cana suddenly gained five 40-30-20 recepie pellets. Outta nowhere.

Now I'm hearing reports of bahro in Ae'gura?

I'm heading down to see what's up.

_Calum

2/20/10

02, 20, 10. Cycles.

Sorry for being so Melancholic yesterday. It's just that the four caves in rapid sucession is a bit too much to take in.

Regardless, I went to the Caves one more time, recorded my symbols, and ended the first journey.



I've taken what was given, and returned it. The cycle is complete, again.

For what seems like the fifth time, I've finished the Journey. I've listened this time, though. I listened, and I learned. I've felt the rain. I see the growing tree. I've heard what has been said.

Have you listened, journal of mine?

_DT

2/19/10

02, 19, 10. Composure.

I listened to Yeesha, today, her messages. The last few times I took the path I haven't listened, but this time, I did. I listened to Yeesha's warnings about pride and how you must return what you have taken, or it will be taken back. I Took the pillars, then I returned them. Yeesha said "They will be on Relto for a brief Time" Or something simmilar, and she was right.

The only sign on my relto of them ever being there is the fissure. That star filled expanse.




Those who are proud try to take what they cannot keep. She said, "It is from within that nations fall." I think on the state of the world, wishing that it wouldn't seep into my home, my Relto, but it does. History repeats, and if we do not pay attention to it's message, things are doomed to happen again. I've taken this stance with the Bahro. With the cavern. If we return what we take, we will be fine. It's why I am warry of the Donut wedges. The wedges are brought to our reltos with no way of returning them. Pressing the wall print again does nothing.




The reason I mention all this is due to concern. I visited someone's relto recently, despite having finished the Journey, they had the Cleft book on the shelf, Despite ALL of this, they TOOK the pillars back. I heard that bahro's cries of pain.

I guess, really, that I can't force others to do things. "To each their own" as a wise man once said. In the end, no-one listens. Not to Yeesha, not to me; I mean, you're just a journel. A Book. Paper and ink. It doesn't matter if I convince you to take and return things. Not really. And since YOU are just a book, hidden away under my bed, and not an explorer, you can't return what has been taken.

Yeesha said it takes death to bring about a return, when it comes to the proud. Yeesha lost someone dear to her. The D'ni themselves were murdered, All but a few handfulls surviving. For me, Death has come and gone. I remember the day we learned about the war. When That... You know... How people can keep the VERY SOUL of a Bahro on their RELTO of all places after that, I do not know.

They Never Lie Down.

There's been enough death.

02, 18, 10. Introduction to Sardines.

Today was fun. I lit Gira's caves, did a Delin run short on players (Cloth's Three and Four), Hopped through Negilahn's portal, mountain climbed, and I played a game of Sardines in my Teledahn.

Tomorrow, I'll take and return the pillars.

2/14/10

----- Fireflies and Doors

I linked in today, and thankfully, nothing was disturbed. Jalak was intact.

After that little escapade, I linked around to a few hoods, played some 'heek, did two Delin Runs. Got stuck in the door, twice. Escaped once, other time relto'd. I ventured into the main city, Nice place, by the way. Saw some faces from the forums, Though, why people insist on using their forum names instead of the reall ones I don't understand. /Scarcastic. I Went to Minkata, followed a guy around as he attempted to navigate with two hyper running explorers and me in tow. Then I amazed him by finding a cave he hadn't been to yet, so all was not lost. I managed to keep up with the floaty glyph even.

[Laughs]

Later, I went to Groath's Gahreesen. Touched my remaining cloths, but all for not. I didn't use the door. Later still, we went to Kadish Tolesa. Groath had to deal with some surface business, so I took a photo op with A fellow explorer and the /crazy KI command. Groath returned, and we started messing with the first idiotic door of Kadish's security system. There was some confusion over the light floor puzzle. I swore that it looked wrong. Goes to show how much two years time will mess with your memory.

[Light chuckle]

Further more, we went to the moon room, While we were waiting for the thing to charge up, I walked the floor to see if anything would happen.

Turns out, My memory isn't so faulty. As Groath will attest to, I did indeed activate the elevator, then pressed the reset while leaning against the wall in shock. I toyed with the pillars while we were waiting for the elevator to start working again- It was amusing to say the least. We soon got to the vault, and I headed back to my relto, Last cloth touched to the wall.

So, I went to my relto to work things backwards in Kadish. Turns out that even though I touched all seven cloths in Groath's Kadish, they work by personal instance touched. So I realized that, when I linked into the start of the age, my cloth press in Groath's Gahreesen Power room wouldn't work. I'd still go to MY Gahreesen's last cloth. I ended up re-working all of kadish's puzzles in no time at all- even walked the path blind again.

Groath invited me to his Gira when I was about to start another marker mission, good timing. We got our fireflies and lit up his tunnel with out having to make a second trip for flies. Or so we thought when I accidentally run-jumped and scattered my flies and Groath sliped into the water.

It works in theory, but, still...

I'm currious to see what would happen if I stuck my Non-functional Gravity Gun MOC into the GZ Neutrino beam. Would the crystal inside go super on me? Could I actually manipulate gravity?

I'm not willing to test it just yet.

_Calum

02, 14, 10. Cone Wars?

I was talking with vid last night when he went off on something about Kirel and cones. Several explorers met there and... I have no clue exactly what happened. I seem to be a "Reporter/Judge" for these "Cone Wars" events, between a MOC DRC and Explorers, with my Jalak as one of the main boards.

I'm worried about what I'll find upon linking in...

_Calum

2/13/10

----- Delin run

We just did a delin run in D'ni Museum of Art's bevin's delin.

I stood on the door and got relto'd when it came up.

_DT

02, 13, 10. And Such things.

Today, I spent a good long while in Cavern. We had two Pod Parties, durring one of which I saw a Sandscrit (Pic still burried in my KI) and and explorer got teleported to the wrong bahro cave (Delin/Tshogal instead of the Pod Cave). I've done a few parts of random ages, and I went to Phil's relto to do some mountain climbing. I snaged a marker or two, and had a lot of fun over all.

This is what we were missing.

This Is Uru.

2/11/10

----- MY GOGGLES!

I've noticed with a growing trend that every time I go down to the cavern, In the cleft there's a pair of goggles laying around on a table. I have my own, but still...

It's the thought that counts. The sense of normalicy. That has just gone straight out the window.

WHERE ARE THE GOGGLES?!

_DT

02, 11, 10. Return.

I went down, got a re-charge on my KI, 00203751 is the number.

02, 08, 10. Gone Fishing.

Ugh, As soon as the DRC said that they were okay with explorer's being down in the cavern, everything went crazy. Forums are slowed to a halt. Everyone's gone message happy and telling everyone and their cousin that we can go back now.

So much for a quiet escape from life.

So, at this point, I'm going fishing. Figureatively speaking.

So, on to Lucky Star!

Ja Ne!

_DTC

2/6/10

02, 06, 10. What news!

Kodama and Sutherland are down in the cavern currently.

What is going on, we don't know. But I have my theories.

I'm holding off a trip until we know what Laxman's 'tripped sensor' is.

_DT

2/4/10

02, 04, 10. Now the Begining is tied to the end.

I'm packing up for a trip back to the cavern.

Soon. Very, Very Soon.

I can hear the call again.

LAXMAN Posted on the DRC forums!

I'm taking this as a sign.

The timing of this is very coincidental. The last two times the cavern closed, it was announced on this very day. Once back in 2004, and once more in 2008. I realized something, as I watched a play through of Myst IV the other day, Atrus said something simialr to "Endings are another form of beginings" which is something a certain Great Spirit said at the beging of the BIONICLE movie "The Legend Reborn." Now, thinking back to this, I remembered the Watcher's Words, of the Grower and the Path of the Shell.

Yeesha herself noted at the end of our first journey: "Now the begining is tied to the end" while changing the Hand Symbol into the Shell one. When I first took the shell path, I didn't remember this. But now it makes sense! Ahnonay-ing involved making a path through "Time" and Space. As did Er'cana, inorder to light up the bahro cave to see the last set of glyphs. When I re-took it back in 2007, this was split in half, making it harder to understand, But I get it now! I really do!"

So, Here we are. A Begining tied to an End. I'm ready to go back. But, first, I have to clear out my schedual. I don't want to just vanish into thin air in the middle of class, now do I?
