 January_29th...__
Bought a key from a shop called 'Through the Looking Glass.' The key, I can't bring myself to call it an antique, itself is a little dusty so it's off being cleaned. I'm sure I can find somewhere for it.February_4th...__The key I bought started to act funny, it transformed to dull and tarnished right before my eyes and when I went to see if there was dirt on it by rubbing my fingers over it the key suddenly brightened and came back to life. Then it started vibrating and simply faded into nothing! A young girl showed up wearing the key when it disappeared..February_9th...__Chinese New Years! Gateway into the year of the Rooster, Kerryn and I spent the day together, I was cooking our dinner and she was trying to make a traditional envelope present for Yeste'. Kerryn talks about Yeste' often, I think she needs more friends, but my job search stops me from taking her over to the shop as often as I would like. We finished Yeste's present and then we had dinner together on my bed as we watched television. It was a nice evening.February_12th...__Took Kerryn to the shop where she met Ronin. They got along well enough, and I suppose I should try to get them another playdate soon enough so she can actually play with the people she meets.February_14th-23rd...__It was a lazy week and a couple days for Kerryn and I. I started work again, and she started planting the flower seeds I bought for her. Then I took her to the park and we didn't really do anything of much important after that. But, I got a call from Emme asking if Kerryn and I would like to go over to her studio for tea some time, so we made a date for the 24th.February_24th...__As promised Kerryn and I arrived at Emme's studio. Kerryn and Ray seemed to get along well, and as I heard from Kerryn she plans to go to the shop to try and catch Ray soon. Although with the cold weather at night recently, she can't go for the next week because of what we've affectionately termed 'Plant watch.' She's going to spend her days trying to figure out what's wrong with her deathly looking plants and try to get them looking healthy again. I'm glad she has something that interests her.. even if it is gardening. Maybe she'll like the idea of gardening with Emme and Ray?February_24nd (evening)-28th...__This last week had been plant watch. But, good news, Kerryn figured out what was wrong with her sprout. It was getting too much water before she went to bed and the water was frosting in the soil in the night. It was a little trial and error in her experiment to fidn the cause though. But, when I bought her a heat lamp for it that can be on during the night so that the plants don't die on her. That'd crush her - especially since she spent so much time on them.March_1st...__Kerryn went to the shop today by herself while I was shopping because she left a letter for Ray and asked him to come join her there that afternoon. She said something about him showing her the back garden of the shop, which is totally ok with me, but I told her that she had to wear a dress because of how warm it seems to be getting. We found a nice suitable yellow spring dress, but she still wore her leather boots with it..March_2nd...__Kerryn is grounded today.March_3rd...__Kerryn and I went to Durem Square to look through merchant stalls at this months Farmer's market and Flea market. Kerryn insisted on picking up two fans, and a piece of jewelry. One of the fans was for Yeste' and the other for herself, and the piece of jewelry - a bracelet/anklet - was for Ray.March_4th...__Kerryn and I delievered the presents to those whom she bought presents for yesterday.March_10th...__Kerryn went to the shop today, all by herself again. Today she met a young Simu like her named Itsuki. She says that they didn't get along great but they didn't hate each other. That's good I guess.

Spoken languages: English and another language Bri can't place.
Kerryn by any other name?
The influence of Kerryn makes you positive, self-assertive, and independent. You can be creative, inventive, and ingenious in practical matters, such as handicrafts. When you have the opportunity to pursue your own goals and interests free from interference, you can feel very agreeable and express a buoyant optimism. On the other hand, you can be impulsive and forceful when opposed, and act without due forethought and discretion. Hence you have many bitter experiences and generally rather unsettled conditions in your life, with little progress and financial accumulation. You cannot tolerate any domination by others, or circumstances that restrict your freedom and independence. You are inclined to make changes abruptly in your life as an escape from such conditions.

Why do I keep feeling like I have known Ray for longer than I actually have? We seem to have gotten past the stage where touching each other gives us creapy feelings, but still.. when I look at him, I feel like I should just smile and smile and smile. I think I might have to talk to him about this, because I know he reacted to me when we shook hands the first time..
..Also, that idea of a ghost scares me a little. She changed Ray's hands, and I'm a little afraid that she might change me or the others. Ray says she doesn't want to hurt us, but instead she wants to help us. I don't know yet.

It felt so strange when Ray and I shook hands, like a jolt of memories hit me, although they were unintelligable. And, he seemed to get the same thing. Is it possible to know someone without ever have met them before? Because I keep getting the feeling that I do.

Simulacra
Valoray - Ray. He is the first older Simu I've met, and he's nice. He looks like he has plants growing out of his hair and he likes green too. When I shook his hand I got a weird feeling, and it comes back evre so often, like when we were in the glade - I just wanted to smile at him. Just smile, like having him there was something special. It -WAS- sorta.. but not really. I like him though, he's very easy to get along with..
Kai - Don't know them yet.
Sarria - Quiet and shy, not that bad, only met her for a minute though. But, it'd help if she was less shy and more outgoing.
Ardre - Don't know them yet.
Sophie - Don't know them yet.
Kami - She's very pink. She seemed nice, though I only met her for a minute or so.. I heard from Ray that she grew, maybe I should try and see her again?
Yeste' - Yeste' was the first Simulacra I met. She seems really nice, and showed me the dagger she came from and asked me if I wanted to see her house sometime. I think we get along well, and she said Sao.. I don't know who that is yet, might be willing to teach me how to fight and show me a forge. She thought my apron and the key I came from were interesting.
Ronin - Ronin is okay. He seemed stupid at first, but then all guys are. I lied to his mother for him, because she wanted him to interact with other people and he didn't want to. It amused me because while he was telling me this he was obviously interacting with other people since I am an other person. Aren't I? But, he has a cool dagger like Yeste' does so that makes him a bit better.. Although he seemed disappointed when I said that Yeste' was a girl. So.. he's just ok.
Itsuki - He and I don't hate each other, but I can tell that we won't get along great. Although he knows Yeste' and apparently she gave him chocolates on Valentines day so she must like him. If Yeste' likes him he can't be that bad right? We talked about knowing things and if it was better to know a lot or to know only some things.
Aurora - Don't know them yet.
Zanna - Don't know her yet, but Yeste' warned me off about her.. I don't know if I want to meet her since Yeste' doesn't like her. Although, shouldn't I come to my own conclusions about her?
Elijah - Don't know them yet.
Simulacra Companions
Urahara - Don't know them yet.
Adrian - Don't know them yet.
Poe - Don't know them yet.
Alakina - Don't know them yet.
Kyoko - Don't know them yet.
'Lord' Sammuelson Irum Me'arl - Don't know them yet.

The kitchen.
The kitchen is the first thing one notices when they enter the small apartment. Tightly packed in the small cove is the fridge, stove, countertop microwave, and the sink. It is probably the most used room in the house.
"The livingroom."
The livingroom has been transformed into a heat room for Izzy the iguana. His tank spans the whole left wall and is four feet deep into the room. Filled with foilage and heat lamps and painted a jungle green it is has become a small home away from home for Izzy.
Master bedoom.
Bri's bedroom is a taupe-tan colour that is almost the exact shade of the wood flooring that covers the floors throughout the apartment. Save for splashes of red on the trim and her bedspread and curtains it isn't very lively.
The bathrooms.
The bathrooms are the only blue rooms in the house. There are two, dispite the fact that there is only one of Bri, a full bath and a half bath. Both are matching in colours with the same trim with matching shower curtains and towls.
"Second bedroom."
The second bedroom was the livingroom in the house, but now that Kerryn has arrived the livingroom furniture has been split up and moved into different rooms around the apartment to allow Kerryn to have her own room. This wasn't an easy process.

It had been a long day, and Bri had chosen to spend it antique hunting. Gallivanting across Gaia she had run into a store she had never heard of but assumed specialized in antiques from the look of the items on the shelves and strewn around the shop. It needed to be cleaned, she noted to herself as she entered the store.
Wandering around the store she took in all the different items they had in stock, scanning through the mirrors, necklaces, and other dodads, her eyes fell on a key. It was on a low shelf and it wasn't more than half in view, but it caught her eye with a glimmer and sparkle as it reflected the sun into her eyes. Crouching down she took the key into her hand, turning it over and admiring the way it looked.
"Not a good piece for my apartment though." She murmured, standing upright again and continueing her self-led tour. Her mind kept drifting back to the key, not entertained or interested by any of the other items on sale. It was the key she was drawn to. And, in the end it was what she purchased. Finding herself outside the main door again mere moments later, the key clutched in her hands like a magpie with it's sparkling loot.
Every so often her slender fingers would uncurl and jade eyes would glance through curtains of black silken tendrils towards the key that lay present in her palm.
"If I didn't know better, I'd start calling you 'My precious.' It doesn't quite fit since you're a key and not a ring though." She scolded the ring, her voice boardering on having a sing-song quality as the words were uttered.
Climbing the steps to her apartment, she almost used the antique key in the door of her apartment, a confused look sweeping over her face. Giving the key one last look she shoved it deep into the back pocket of her black sandwashed pants, and retrieved her proper key from her front pocket with her other. Letting herself into the main foyer of her apartment complex she headed up the two flights of stairs necessary to get to her level, taking a left and counting the doors to her apartment.
"Number thirty seven." Her voice still held the sing-song quality that made her twitch mentally. Drawing herself up to the door to her apartment she slid the key into the lock and let herself in, a relaxed sigh escaped slightly painted lips, "Home, sweet home." Calling out just a moment later, "I'm home Izzy! Mommy's home!"
Taking the key she had purchased out of her back pocket, she laid it reverently down on the edge of the kitchen counter, sitting next to a a small zen garden where she was growing bamboo. From that location the key could be seen from the kitchen, from Izzy's room and from down the hallway.
Izzy woke up when the door shut behind her, and Bri hurried into his room to feed him, "Yes.. Izzy-darling, Mommy is here."

Settling down at the wooden desk in her bedroom Bri looked out the sliding glass door that led to the patio that watched over Durem, entranced by the soft glow the city created at night. Slowly, as if awakening from a dream she looked back down to the journal on her desk and started to write.Quote: Dear Diary,
I didn't have work today because the woman that is taking over for Ms. West decided to close the bar tonight and take inventory of all the alcohol on the premise and start renovations. This means I have to find a part time job for the next half month or so, I was assured it wouldn't be too much longer than that, and at the most a month. It was for this reason I decide to spend my afternoon antique shopping instead of sleeping like I normally do. And, I must say it was strangely fruitful.
I bought myself a key. I can't quite place the origin of the key, but I think I should probably do some looking into it because of the odd circumstances of which it came into my possession. Here is the story, diary.
While I wandered around Durem, my last stop on the way home, I noticed a strange little shop called 'Through the Looking Glass.' Apon entering the shop I noticed that it looked quite dusty, almost in shambles, but I still conducted a tour. Even the lack of a shop attendant asking me if they could help me didn't phase me. I wandered up and down the shop looking for the things I would normally have bought to decorate with, urns, lanterns, fans and the like. But, what caught my eye was none of the above. It was a key. At first I picked it up and looked it over, it was nothing and I wasn't going to buy it, but I mean why wouldn't I just look it over? I put it back down, of course, but I couldn't keep my mind from going back to it, like I wanted it even though I didn't. And worst of all, I passed up a chinese paper umbrella to buy it!
But, the strange thing of it all was I couldn't help looking at it all the way home, I would notice my eyes drifting to it when I was trying to pay attention to other things and I even tried to use it to unlock the door to my apartment complex before I figured out what I was doing!
The rest and relaxation during this job search period will probably ease my obviously troubled mind.
Good night Diary.

Bri slipped down the stairs to the main foyer of her apartment, mail key in hand. It was nine a.m and she knew that the mailman would be right on schedule today; she had seen him heading up the walk from her position on the balcony.
She watched him open the boxes one by one, putting in the newspaper and the various letters that the owners of the boxhad been sent.
Just the newspaper for her today.
It didn't surprise her much, her mother wasn't one to write letters. She preferred to call and yell at her in chinese about how she wasn't living her life correctly. "Heaven forbid she ever compliment me." Bri muttered, drawing the attention of the mailman as he finished with the last mailbox.
"Morning miss." He said cheerfully, lifting his bag back up from the ground.
Silence.
The mailman stood there for a moment, as if waiting for her to say something before turning away to head back to the door of the apartment complex. Bri ignored him then, lips tightened into a thin line as she watched him leave. She didn't like him anyways.
Unlocking her mailbox she took out her newspaper and tossed the flyers away, closing it and heading back up the stairs. As she went she opened the newspaper to the wanted section - it was time to start her job search.

When Bri returned from her trip to the mail box,
the Key she had purchased suddenly
caught her eye with a slight twinkle.
As she drew closer,
she noticed that the key seemed to change
before her very eyes.
It seemed to dim and become tarnished!
