Enter appropriate journal-starter here,
School is a ********. Pryderi is the world's biggest b***h for sending me there. I got there on the first day and the first thing they do is hand me some old man uniform and tell me to put it on. I just gave them The Look, and did nothing. The guy muttered something about "being prepared for s**t like this" and promptly forced the clothes on me overtop of my normal clothes! What the hell were they trying to pull? I'd been there less than ten seconds and I was already angry. What a perfect way to start of the day, mm? If they were going to try and be bitchy to me, there was no way in hell I would be all nice to them. They deserved whatever they go from me, especially if it was a few bite marks. I was definitely going to dish those out if they tried to put one more hand on me. Needless to say, the fugly uniform was off before we reached the class room. I'm getting better and better at shredding things, especially when I'm not in a good mood. The class was made up of about ten people, all wusses as far as I was concerned. I mean, Akilah was tougher than all these wimps, and this was a so-called "reform centre." In their dreams.
Anyways, at recess I teased a few kids into tears. That got me send down to the office. All the old fart did was lecture me, and then sent me off back to the classroom. No more recess for me for a week. I don't care. I like it inside, reading and vandalizing the desks. The teasing had at least vented most of my anger by then, so I was in a better mood in the afternoon. Still, that didn't stop me from biting the kid next to me when he tried to shove me out of my desk. Took a nice bite of his fat arm too. It was great. Needless to say, I was in the office for the second time that day, and I think the principle wasn't too pleased to see me. I can see why. I used my well-practiced ignoring technique, and spent the rest of the day in the room opposite to his. Fun times. Oh, phone's ringing. Probably the principle calling to tell Pry off. I want to hear this. Catch you later.

"Kitten?"
Mae reached his hand into Kitten's aquarium, allowing the tarantula to crawl up onto his hand. The last week had been a living hell for him, and what he really needed now was someone to talk to. Since the deer boy was completely out of the question and Bagira was becoming irritable, his faithful tarantula was his last option. She would listen to him. She always had, and he saw no reason why she wouldn't now. Moving towards the battered sofa next to the window, the Sin'aeis boy flopped down onto it. Once he was settled, he placed Kitten on his shoulder, reaching up to stroke her gently. The familiarity of the soft fur was soothing, and Maelon let his eyes slip shut. After a moment, he sighed, opening his eyes again. He needed to get some of his feelings off his chest, and writing just wasn't cutting it. School was just getting progressively worse. He wasn't learning jack s**t, and it was just making his life more miserable. It also gave Pryderi and extra thing to rag on him about, and their relationship was getting worse by the day. Maybe he ought to just go back to the raccoon's house. At least he had the fox there, who cared about him. He could even put up with Chibi's brat. Anything was better than living here with Pryderi, in the middle of a big ******** city and being forced to do things he didn't want to do.
What's on your mind, pet?
"Heh. Everything, Kitten." Mae said with a wistful smile, feeling the spider's furry feet against his neck. It was chilling to have a spider that close to his neck, yet the dark chocolate boy loved the feeling. Then again, he'd always been a little weird like that.
Tell me about it, my pet. You don't like that funny protector you're living with?
"Hate his guts. He exists just to make my life miserable."
Now, now. He can't be that mean.
Maelon snorted at this, purple eyes staring absently at the cracks in the ceiling. 'He can't be that mean, she says. I wish.' It would take a lot to convince the dark chocolate boy that Pryderi didn't exist just to make his life miserable. And if the deer boy sent him to school tomorrow, lecturing him about just about everything he could lecture about, it would take more than "a lot" to convince him.
"He's just making things worse. All he does is nag. He just sits there and yells at me for not doing anything, and being stupid and..." Mae broke off, suddenly feeling his throat constrict and the corners of his eyes prickle. Why couldn't he just leave him alone for a change? It wasn't fair. Pryderi just didn't know how much his words stung. It didn't matter how much Maelon pretended to ignore him, he still heard what the deer boy had to say. And it really hurt. Maybe he really should go back to the raccoon's house. He would at least be happier there.
Hush, my pet. It'll be better soon. You'll see.
Maelon only wished he could believe his most trusted friend.

No ******** title for you,
I can't believe I'm writing this. I suppose I knew this day would come, but in no way did I ever want to expect it. I just honestly didn't ever expect to be writing this down so soon. No, I'm not angry. I don't have anybody to be angry with anyways. It's nobody's fault really. I'm just really, really upset. More upset than I could ever convey on paper. No one wants to accept death when it comes, especially not when it's your best friend. No, Yuki didn't die. I dunno if I would be able to write anything if he died. You don't expect your human friends to die off within a few years. That would just be freaky. No, yesterday when I was at that ******** school, Bagira and Kitten got into a fight. When I got home, they were both dead. Had I been there at the time, I could have at least pulled them apart and saved Kitten, but because of him sending me to you know where, I wasn't there. I buried Kitten out in the back, and left Bagira out for the birds to eat him. Serves him right for killing the only one in the world who would ******** listen to me. I don't want to write about this anymore. Bye.

Giving up on this title thing,
I'm at the end of my rope. The only reason I was staying here was because I couldn't carry Kitten's aquarium with me all the way back to Chibi's house. Now that she's gone, along with my snake and my other spider, I really have no reason to stay. Anywhere is better than where I'm living right now. I mean, at least at Chibi's house we celebrated Christmas! Pryderi didn't even do that! He was in such a foul mood that he didn't even do anything Christmas-y or festive! Nothing! Nil! No decorations, no Christmas lights and certainly no presents. As he said "bad boys don't get Christmas presents." I think that burned the most. Do you know how upsetting it is to wake up on Christmas day to no presents, when you were at least expect something? It's a terrible feeling. At least the fox and family sent me gifts. Raylin sent me a really nice skateboard, and Havok, Chibi and the little squirt pooled together to send me a set of mini snowboards. Did I mention how much they rock? They really know how to buy me presents, unlike my so-called protector who's supposed to know me better than anyone else. As ******** if.
Still, even that little bit of happiness isn't enough to make me want to stay here. All Pryderi ever does is yell at me. If I'm not in trouble for this, I'm in trouble for that. It's gotten to the point where I can't even have a conversation with him without getting into an arguing match. It's ridiculous. Why would anyone in their right mind want to stay here? There's no break for me. I'm better off with the fox and his gang. They at least are tolerable. Pryderi isn't.
I've spent most of this week in my room, coming out just for meals. I really miss Kitten. Pryderi just doesn't understand how lonely I am. Maybe I will go home. Write later.

Hearing approaching footsteps, Maelon rolled over in his bed, feigning sleep. What was Pryderi doing up at this time? He had already sent the Sin'aeis boy to bed, and he himself had gone to bed. Why was he up now? The footsteps stopped when they reached the door to the dark chocolate boy's door, and there was a pause. Pryderi must be hesitating. Then, Mae heard the door handle turn, and the deer boy slid quietly in. He could feel the older male's eyes on him, and careful opened his eyes just enough to see. Pryderi was walking towards his bed, and the Sin'aeis boy slid his eyes shut again. As long as he could do a good imitation of sleep-Mae, maybe Pryderi would leave him alone. The last thing he needed was the deer boy coming in to lecture him. Apparently his performance was not good enough, as the bed sank down in one spot, indicating Pryderi was sitting on his bed. Mae's ears twitched. What was the deer boy doing? He never actually sat next to him. This was starting to get weird...
"Mae?" For the first time since they'd moved into the new house, Pryderi's voice didn't sound upset or angry. "I'm pulling you from that school. It's just making things worse around here. It's not doing any good for you, or me. You can do what you want now, since that seems to make you happy."
There was a pause. Pryderi appeared to struggling with what he had to say. After a moment of silence, the deer boy continued softly.
"I'm... tired of being the bad guy, Mae. I don't like yelling at you and telling you off for doing things. I mean... I can't even hold a conversation with you anymore. Did I tell you about when Kunny first gave you to me? I was afraid to let anyone near you. I kept you cooped up in my room, afraid that Chibi would be a bad influence. I wanted to protect you from the bad influences, and really try and bond with you. But... I guess... I am the bad influence."
Pryderi gave a weak chuckle, and when he spoke again, he sounded as though he was close to tears.
"I'm not sure saying I'm sorry is good enough. I've really been terrible to you, trying to make you into something you're not." Mae felt a hand on his head, as Pryderi ran his fingers through his hair. It was getting harder and harder to just listen to the deer boy talk. Pryderi had been suffering just as much as he had from this, hiding it behind their foul tempers.
"I'm so sorry Mae."
The dark chocolate boy sat up when Pryderi got off his bed, catching the older male's arm in his hand, halting him. "It's...okay...Pryderi..." He murmured, feeling the corners of his eyes prickling again. The deer boy returned to his seat, and Mae felt arms around him. That was all it took for Mae to break down, allowing Pryderi to comfort him. It felt so strange, turning to the one he was supposed to hate the most for comfort. Yet, they really were the same, weren't they? Lonely. Upset. Angry. Perhaps if they had expressed their feelings earlier, they could have avoided this emotional breakdown. Still, Mae reflected afterwards that it was good, for the both of them. Pryderi had promised to take the Sin'aeis boy out the next day to get him another spider, and to help him design his room. He also said he wouldn't nag Mae about his earrings or his skateboard anymore. In return, Maelon had promised to try and be a little friendlier, and to try and get out a bit more. He had also promised to wear a helmet when he went skateboarding.
Their relationship was finally on the mend.

The next morning, Mae woke to the smell of pancakes wafting from the kitchen. What the? Pryderi never cooked anything in the morning! His stomach, however, didn't seem to be protesting, as it rumbled just from the smell. Sliding out of bed, the dark chocolate boy headed out of his room and towards the kitchen, blinking at the sight that lay before him. A pile of chocolate chip and banana pancakes sat neatly on the table, Pryderi currently fishing through a drawer in search of utensils. Ooookay. This was definitely new. But, as his stomach reminded him, he could get used to this.
"Pry, I think the utensils are in the next drawer over."
He called, causing the deer boy to jump and spin to look at him. Oops. Maybe he should start stomping when he entered the kitchen. "Sorry." He said automatically, blinking when Pryderi gave him a funny look. What? All he had said was 'sorry.' Shrugging it off, he dug out a pair of forks from the aforementioned cupboard, and placed them next to the table. The deer boy was already piling pancakes onto the waiting plates. "How many do you want, Mae?"
The dark chocolate boy shrugged his shoulders. "Four." He said, before adding hastily. "Please." This time, the deer boy didn't look so surprised. He just smiled warmly, something that Maelon couldn't remember if he'd ever seen. It was nice. Smiling slightly back, the Sin'aeis plopped down on the chair, reaching for the syrup. He had had pancakes once; Maru made them for him when he was younger. He'd never had them with chocolate chips and bananas, though. Cutting a piece, he took a bite, chewing thoughtfully. Mmm... chocolate was so addicting. It was then that he realized that Pryderi was starting intently at him. Grinning inwardly, he took longer time than needed to assess the pancakes.
"Pry..."
"...Yeah?"
"These pancakes... totally rock!"
Mae made a face, before digging into the rest of his pancakes. Mmm, nothing beats chocolate chip and banana pancakes! They were awesome for breakfast. Munching away happily, he asked thoughtfully. "What did the headmaster say when you said you were pulling me out?"
Pryderi blinked, before chuckling softly. "Oh he was quite pleased. Didn't say it straight out thought. I think now I realize what a stupid old bat he was. I'm surprised you lasted as long as you did. He was all 'He should stay! We can help!' I told him to bugger off." At this Maelon laughed. It was hard to imagine Pryderi telling anyone to "bugger off." The deer boy chuckled along with him, taking another bite of his pancakes. "So... have anywhere in mind for spider-looking?"
The Sin'aeis shrugged. "I dunno. I suppose we could just take a look around?"
"Sounds good." Pryderi started cleaning up, before stopping and adding. "You get dressed. I'll meet you at the front door in ten."
~
The spider-seeking went fairly well. In the end, Maelon chose a male wolf spider named "Timber", telling Pryderi that he was the smartest one of the bunch. Once Timber was settled in his new aquarium, Pryderi and Maelon settled down to watch movies, the Sin'aeis falling asleep against his protector. <3

Is this thing on? *tap tap* I dunno... hello? Heeeellloooo? Pryderi is this thing on? The green light is on and... what?
*muffled background voice*
Alright, so he said it's on. Note to self: if the green light is on, then the microphone is on. Yeah... so... I'm Maelon, dark chocolate Sin'aeis kid. I used to live out in the middle of nowhere with my protector Pryderi and his god-awful raccoon friend, buuuut... now I live in Durem. Durem is a ridiculously big city. The buildings are huge. I don't know why you would need buildings that huge. It's just ridiculous.
*pause*
Anyways, I've given up on this writing in a journal thing. I like just talking into the headset. It's better for venting and Pryderi says this way I won't break anymore pencils. Ha ha ha. He's a comedian, that Pryderi. But he's cool, so it's okay. Mind you, at one point he WASN'T cool, but now he is. He actually told someone to "bugger off." That's cool.
*another pause*
Uh... I don't really have anything to say. Nothing's happened lately that's really exciting. Oh, the mini-coon came over to visit us and Pryderi made us cookies. Sach isn't so bad. He's a bit too quiet for my liking, but he's okay. He brought me CDs from Havok, so it was all good.
I'm going now. Write-er... talk more later. *click*

*tap tap* I see a green light... that must mean this thing is on. I guess. Whatever.
It's Maelon, talking on my spiffy new headset microphone. Yeah yeah I know, I haven't been updating this online log in what... months has it been now? But I've been busy. Well, Pryderi and I have been busy. I should probably start from the beginning... when was my last entry?
*pause, followed by the sound of a few click*
Way back in March. Wow. That is definitely a long time ago. Probably should have sat down to talk into this thing sooner, but you know, I had other stuff to do. More important things to do. Yes I AM getting to that stuff, just let me get settled in my chair.
*another pause, with a little bit of shuffling in the background*
Okay... so the last thing I reported was a visit from the mini-coon. Well, he's not so mini anymore. He's not as tall as me per-say, but he's much taller than when I last reported seeing him. He came by around April to come and tell Pry and me that he was going to take sword lessons or some crap like that. We didn't do all that much, but he did bring me a book on spiders which had some pretty awesome pictures in it, so I was sorta glad he came. Anyways, April was about the last time I saw him. He came with Ray, which was okay I guess, so I didn't get to talk to Havok. That was okay though 'cause he called when Ray and the mini-coon got back home. He wanted to make sure everything was going okay, and he promised he'd stop by to play chess and talk with me again sometime soon. He's a cool guy that fox. I sorta wish he'd come and live with us, but I know that would mean that Chibi would have to come too and I'm not really sure I want to live with him again. He's not bad, but he's not the easiest person to live with. No, I understand that Havok's got his kid and his crazy lover, and I'm glad he takes some time to call me and talk to me. Makes me feel liked, you know?
April sorta whizzed by... nothing really that important happened until about June. The landlord started paying us "visits", and he kept dropping hints that he didn't want us here. Apparently someone else wanted our Durem apartment that Pry was renting, and they were willing to pay double the rent. Well, you know me and people who are no better than scum. For Pry's sake I let him slide for a while, but after he started harassing MY guardian I let him have it. Must say... that was my best use of language since my run-ins with the principal at the military school.
Regardless, that pretty much ended the deal at the Durem apartment, and Pry had to go house-hunting again. He wasn't pissed at me though... well, only a little bit. I think the man was doing weird stuff to Pry when I wasn't there, which pisses me off even more, so Pry's glad that I was able to get us out of there. Our new house is way out near the outskirts of Barton. It's a... what did Pry call it? Oh. Right. Quaint. He says it's a quaint house. Looks like a cottage to me, but you know, whatever. He can call it quaint, I'll just call it ******** small.
*coughs, attempting to hide a small laugh*
So come the end of June we had to evacuate our asses to the cottage in Barton, which wasn't so bad since there was only two of us anyways. Gave the guy the finger on the way out, told the new couple who were coming into the apartment that my spiders had bred and there were tarantulas under the floorboards, and then left laughing my a** off. It was great. I think Pry thought it was pretty funny too.
August was pretty much spent setting up everything at the house and getting used to everybody and now here we are. All of this moving around and stuff meant that I haven't been able to see or talk to another Sin for ages. I don't mind so much, but I think Pry wants me to meet a few more. I wouldn't mind seeing Yuki again... I wonder if he's grown any bigger...
Well, I'm going to end this now. Nothing else to say. Pry says he's taking me out tomorrow to go look at lip-rings, so I'll do that.
Oh right. I got my lip pierced in May. Pretty cool.
Now I'm ending this. Bye.

Hey there... Maelon here. Can't believe I spoke for that long last time. Holy crap that was a lot of talking I did. Then again, I had about... four or so months of stuff to cover. I didn't even talk about that much though and it still was huge. Image what you'd have to listen to if I did some really exciting stuff. I'd be here for hours, rantin' and rantin' about my super-cool life and all of the cool s**t I did today. Well today I'm not going to talk for hours and hours. I'm just going to talk for a bit.
Pry kept his promise and took me shopping for another lip ring. I got the piercing done with a gold ring 'cause I thought it'd look cool, but Pryderi says that silver will look a lot better. I took his word for it, and he was right. Silver does look better when it comes to lip rings. Score one for Pry. Not that I'm counting anymore. We're both right about our fair share of things nowadays. We fight a little, but it's cool. He's not on my case as much as before, and I'm not doing stuff to piss him off. It works out alright.
So after the new lip ring we went out and Pry bought a few more earrings and stuff for himself, and then we went to look at some books. Didn't buy anything there, but saw some nifty new books I'd like to borrow from the library. Must make a point of getting down there at some point.
*pause, with a voice in the background*
Wha? Yeah, I'm on the laptop. Do you need it? No? No, I'm just doing the online journal thing. I like it better than writing. Yeah. Yeah okay. Sure. Thanks.
That was Pry. He was just checking up on me. You know, the usual. Oh, and he told me my new headphones arrived. Not that I don't like the ones Havok bought me a while back, but one of the ear-pieces broke so I had to buy another pair. These ones are like those huge-a** ones they have in all the music stores. Real comfortable, and they look nice around your neck too. Very awesome.
Well, I'm going to go and grab some popcorn, 'cause I want to watch the Lord of the Rings. Pry promised me we'd watch a movie together tonight, so I'm going to go and remind him. Later.
