Fourth Entry: Simply Facinating!
[written on the bathroom wall in red lipstick, again]
Dear Diary,
I enjoyed meeting Apathy. He seems like a nice guy... an interesting guy. I wonder what his favourite food is? Or what type of soap he uses?! Does he have a girlfriend, any habits, and what does he like doing on his spare time? Where does he buy his clothes?
Er... this is what I'm on medicine for right?
[entry interrupted by a scribble]
Sorry diary, Nexi is being stupid again. Anyway... let's go off the Apathy subject. I wonder where he lives?
Today Nex stuck himself or itself... or whatever, to the ceiling for seven hours. I have no idea why. Just sat up there, staring down at the ground, occasionally wriggling. Funny little thing.
The headaches are dieing down and the diarrhoea is gone, but I've been getting abdonimal craps. Very painful. When the pain comes Nex seems more solemn then usual. Aww look, Nexi is in the toilet again. He looks so cute. I'll draw a picture.. I think I have some bright green stuff here somewhere...
Oh, running out of lipstick... |

Fifth Entry: GIVE ME PEN AND PAPER! ;.;
[on a piece of lined paper with a blue inked pen]
Dear Diary,
Ok look, they've given me a pen! I was beginning to loose sleep at night. I complained to the people... the people at the house... where they... the people who gave me the pills. Yes them.
Well anyway, I complained that I couldn't be cured of my problem if I didn't have the problem. And because I was twitching and had a headache I screamed down the phone for an hour until they agreed I could have something to write with again. I didn't know I could be so forceful!
The reason for writing to you today is to mention Nexi's strange behaviour. I'm beginning to worry about him, or it... and I don't like it at all. It certainly doesn't help with sleeplessness, knowing your only friend is all depressed. I wonder what the matter is. Have I done something wrong? Maybe it was when I told him to get off the roof. Oh dear.
Scared the s**t out of me the other day. I was in the shower and what appears before me, the shadow of a person! I thought somebody had snuck in. Now I don't want to appear strange but really, that's my job! Anyway, it turned out to be Nexi, looking somewhat unhappy and not giggly and sticking his cute wiggly arms through my midriff like usual. This time he had a shadow. Is that normal? I don't think it is, 'cause the shadow waved at me. I nearly fell over.
Ok, sorry I lied. I did fall over. And now I have the huge bump to prove it. But Nexi just stared and then sat down on the toilet seat... not one giggle.
I am very concerned, but glad to be writing again. I'm sure it'll all sort itself out eventually. Oh look, I thinm I can hear him in the kitchen. I'll go see if he wants some chips.
[little note down the bottom of the page]
Haven't seen Apathy lately. Still don't know what soap he uses. |

Seventh Entry: Something Different
Dear Diary,
Nexi disappeared yesterday. Not only am I terribly worried but I am also very lonely. Ever since Nexi first appeared, we have never been apart. Where has he gone? Do you think it was something that I did? Have I driven him away? Oh dear... I only want him back.
--
The duck was gone, no doubt having found better ways to spend its time. Maybe it had gone and found itself a family, or then again, it could have flown itself into a truck. Ruri figured that must have been it, since it had been living a pretty miserable existence. Just like she was pretty miserable right now.
The little pebble that she threw skipped once across the waters surface before sinking with a small 'plop'. Ruri could not help but sniffle slightly, fairly sure everything was her fault. There must have been something that she had done to make Nexi go away. Or maybe... it was those pills. The thought struck her suddenly, a light of brilliance in her dark despair. If she stopped taking the pills, Nexi might come back. Right?
Then again that guy she had met, Apathy, had thought it was the pills were making Nexi appear in the first place. Thus Ruri found herself with a dilemma, one she found that seriously just wasn't fair. Too take the pills or not, that was the question. One might bring Nexi back, but then, it might not. Although it had only been one day, she was at her wits end. She had not quite realized what impact he had on her life. In the morning she woke up to his neon green body twirling around the room and each night went to sleep telling him stories. In between they talked and argued, or well... she talked and argued, while Nexi did what Nexi did, which often meant hiding in the toilet.
Life without her Nexi was just... well, it wasn't right. No doubt the rest of the world would tell her she was being stupid, but Ruri had never been one to listen to the rest of the world. In fact, that little voice of reason that most people seemed to have was so terribly warped that it was also cursing the fact that Ruri's only friend had buggered off somewhere. Hallucination my a**, Nexi was as real as they came.
Just as she decided to go home to weep some more, something came hurtling around the corner into the parl. It skidded to a halt, looking desperately around for something. Ruri stared at this longhaired young man as it turned this way and that before he finally spotted her, tears pricking at the corners of his eyes.
"Er..." This was quite, unexpected. For some reason, she couldn't quite keep her eyes off him. She continued to stare even as he came hurtling towards her, the world behind him completely visible. As Ruri stared something clicked inside her mind. "NEXI!" Without a second thought the slightly disturbed woman launched herself at him, passed right through him and got a face full of dirt.
That this was Nexi was a definite. He had come back to her! The only thing was, he was different. And he was definitely a he, where before he'd been some androgenous plant type thing. Now he looked human. Besides the fact that you could see right through him of course. Ruri sat up, watched his worried face for a moment before bursting into tears. "I- I'm so glad to see you." She sobbed.
A beaming smile slowly spread across Nexi's face.
"I'm glad to see you too."
--
Dear Diary,
Nexi came back today, though a bit different than before. I don't mind though, because now he can talk to me. Although, he doesn't talk that much, I think he's happy to just listen. Too bad I can't cuddle him. He's got the cutest ever face.
We're going out for ice cream tomorrow. I've already talked to the police about it. I can't wait. I feel like a child again. |

Ninth Entry: The Zoo!
"N-Nexi... I don't think you should... please..."
"Huh?"
Nexi looked up from where he was crouched inches from the lions head, hand outstretched to touch the shaggy brown mane.
The fact that her only friend was that close to a lion could justify Ruriska's nervous jumping from foot to foot. Of course, the fact that Nexi was invisible to pretty much everyone, including the lion, made her worrying rather pointless.
Still, just to wake her happy, Nexi wandered back through the bars to her side. "Could we go that way now?" He asked pointing and grinning happily.
They meandered their way along the path, admiring the different animals that were on display. The zebras, the giraffes, and Nexi's favourite, the peacocks. The brightly coloured males strutted around while Nexi giggled happily, and Ruri leaned on the fence and tried to reach for one of their feathers to take home.
It was turning out to be a really good day.
"Oi! Don't do that miss!"
"Hey, leave that poor bird alone!"
Ruri ignored the annoyed people as she plucked out a long feather from the tail of a rather upset Peacock. It screeched and scrambled away in a very undignified manner, turning once to give her an affronted look before stalking away, back to the females.
"Ok, I got one. Next exhibit?"
"I wanna go see the lions again!"

Eleveth Entry: Chess!
"I'll move the knight..." Nexi studied the chessboard with a thoughtful expression before pointing at a black square. "... here."
Ruri automatically reached over to move the piece, and then sat staring downwards with a perplexed look on her face. "I think you just won." She said, smiling slightly when Nexi grinned happily.
"That's eight." Chuckling, Ruriska returned all the pieces to their starting positions. "You're really good at this Nexi. I just can't seem to win."
"Do you... want to win?" A worried looking Nexi asked, no doubt obviously planning on loosing the next one just to make her feel better. "I can let you."
"No, no! Don't be silly Nexi. I don't mind loosing."
"Oh, ok then." He grinned and then pointed. "I'll move the pawn right here."
--
Dear Diary,
My Nexi is as smart as a button. Or is that bright? And how can a button be smart, or rather... bright? Anyway, today we got a chess set and after learning the rules he beat me, quite a few times.
Perhaps if I entered a champion chess tournament Nexi could tell me where to put the pieces and we could win a fabulous cash prize! Though that would be somewhat dishonest. I'll have to give it some thought.
I think we should go out again tomorrow. Nexi has been a little mopey lately, all quiet and just not like himself. I'm worried.
Oh well, everything will work itself out. Now, time for pills and bed! |

Twelfth Entry: Who the HECK is this?! o.O
The young woman mumbled softly in a half sleep, ineffectually waving a hand to bat away an invisible nemesis. Her dreams of flying pigs and talking purple dots were quickly fading away no matter how much she tried to cling to them, an insistent poking at her shoulder pushing her into wakefulness.
"Stop iiiit." Ruriska whined, her sluggish mind trying to make some sense of the situation. Somebody was currently nudging her shoulder, but whom? For a second she considered the possibility of it being Nexi but since his arms tended to go through things rather than touch things, obviously that ruled him out. Maybe she was just imagining it? She wouldn't be surpised if that were the case.
Well, there was only one way to find out. "Ok... fiiine." Ruriska frowned and turned, opening her eyes into a squint. When she finally saw who was there her eyes widened and she stared at the unfamiliar smiling face an inch from her own before letting out a shriek.
Jolting upwards Ruriska lost balance and tumbled backwards, effectively tangling herself in the bedclothes. Becoming still she stared at the ceiling, thoroughly confused but willing herself to simply shrug the situation off like she usually did. Mornings had never been her best time.
"Ruri?"
Raising herself up as far as she could go without constricting herself, Ruri stared at the man perched on the edge of her bed. He had a strong face, with purple skin and dark hair that fell across his shoulders in waves. As she watched he tilted his head to the side, a small smile rising on his lips. He didn't say anything just stared at her with very familiar blue eyes, waiting for things to click in hermind.
It didn't take too long. When it finally did Ruri let out a small sigh and gave him a bright relieved smile.
"Oh... Nexi. You scared me." She looked him up and down. "You've... changed." Nexi looked older, handsome and much more confidant. Yes, Nexi was different, but when he smiled, well, you could see than he was still the same.
Chuckling, he lifted a hand to brushed away some hair from his face. Ruri turned her attention to his clothes, the green business shirt, the bluish pants and the bracelet on his wrist. It was all rather fetching.
"I can hug you now Ruri." He announced.
Even his voice had changed; it was deeper.
"That's great! You're like Val now... you know, from The Happy Home. He can touch people too! " A bubbly laugh of joy rose up in her chest. Ruri couldn't quite believe how happy it made her to know she could finally hold her greatest friend.
Untangling herself from the blankets, Ruri didn't think twice before launching herself at his chest. For a second she thought maybe she would be meeting the wall, but instead she hit something soft and warm. Arms encircled her, pulling her close. So it was true. She really could hold him. It was... nice.
Nexi was real, he was here and she could touch him. Now she would never be lonely again, she told herself. That thought ran across her mind and she tested it. Ruri liked that possibility. Liked it very much indeed.
They sat that way for a minute or so before Ruriska's stomach gave a little whine of displeasure. "It's breakfast time." She said, not quite willing to move yet.
Nexi seemed to consider it for a second before turning his head to stare towards the doorway. "Hmm, can we go out for breakfast? You haven't got anything in the fridge."
"Oh, yes... of course."
They pulled apart and got on with their day, as if nothing had ever changed. Though they were definately both the grinning pair. |

Thirteenth Entry: Time Passes
Life moved in calm, predictable ways these days. Ruri had gotten a job at the local bakery (obtained in no small way by Ruri’s new found skill of blackmail). They income and her apparently new ‘health of mind’ made the police loose interest completely. Of course, that didn’t mean the Home wasn’t still in the picture. Even after moving into a bigger apartment, one with a room she would specifically use for her ‘human studies’, she kept on keeping in touch with Home, to make sure she always had a good supply of pills.
In their new neighbourhood they began to mix with the community. Ruri and Nexi joined the local chess club. It was mainly just for Nexi, since Ruri’s just moved whatever piece he pointed at and then tried not to giggle to hard when Nexi did a victory dance around the room whenever they won (which was often). And Ruri began a painting course and then took a cooking class, until she nearly burnt the place down, after that she just focused on finding suitable ‘stalking subjects’ while avoiding any unnecessary attention.
Nexi had finally gotten his budgie, quickly dubbed ‘Moe’. It was an odd little bird and, unknown to Nexi, Ruri was fairly sure it was out to get her. For a time she’d considered the idea of shoving it out the window but Nexi was very fond of it. Thus, Moe wasn’t going anywhere anytime soon and the two enemies had to come to an uneasy truce.
Yeah, they were settling in nicely. The only complaint was that they hadn’t seen their friends for a long time and there weren’t exactly good new ones to pass the time with. Nexi was quite obviously pining for a certain someone and there were quite a few people that Ruri wanted to catch up with. Well, she should be due for a check up at the Happy Home soon. That was something to look forward to!
