Entry #1, Spring 14th, Year 1:
✖ Oh Nirvani~ Life here is so amusing. I believe every bit of my things have been unpacked. I should have been done weeks ago... but... I might have lost the key to the storage over at that city and well... It's all done now. Right now I should be taking a break from sculpting, just until I get settled in the island. Yes it's been a while now, but I had been too busy to actually get out. Which has things a little lonely... No girl... because I broke up with my last partner... We were only together for a week. Also I don't have Garnet near... and I miss her cooking!
About cooking, there was a cooking festival not long ago in the island. I decided to head over there... because I was not in the mood of burning my meal. It was nice actually. Disastrous too... I feel horrible for the judges for some of those dishes were just atrocities to see, I can't imagine eating! Well that's devotion for you.
Entry #2, Spring 23rd, Year 1:
✖ This island's festivals are truly something. I believe this one was the goddess festival. Residents sign up and are voted upon, having harvest goddess and harvest king. I didn't take part in it, well I only voted. As such it is sad to say I spent the whole evening at the refreshment table... What? I... I was hungry...
I also went over to the playground in these days. No not like that, there are very beautiful specimens to study! ...Botanical specimens. I had found this remarkable oak tree, it was just the specimen I needed. Apparently I lost track of time and found myself being interrogated by a very beautiful police officer. I believe her name was Romane Bissette... ah but the beauty was replaced by fear for she wanted to arrest me... Well I think that was the feeling I got from her. She even took my drawing! And that sucked... but at least I am not in jail.
There was another activity too, a treasure hunt. I was appointed leader of the team... We found an egg at first but then we were just running in circles. In the end we lost, but it was nice to go out like that.
Entry #3, Summer 8th, Year 1:
✖ Ah... I feel like a lazy unsocial bum. I haven't gone out much since I got that inspiration for my sculpture and began working on it. Still... I miss being outside and dating and such. Dating... I haven't had a girlfriend in... a season! Whoa... Sera would laugh at that... Oh how I have fallen... no that's too dramatic. Well then that's what I'll do! Socialize! ...I should keep practicing my cooking... It's not so horrible anymore! Sort of...
Entry #4, Summer 14th, Year 1:
✖ I can't believe this... I was arrested. Why? I'm not entirely sure myself. I had only gone outside for a walk when that officer from before, Miss Bissette, came over to me, muttered some accusation about being a ***** or something and arrested me! I was dragged to the Police Station with a whole load of other residents! We were all in the same boat. Unfairly arrested by the woman... for no reason. She had gone into an arresting frenzy! Luckily her partner was way more sane and got us out of that mess. I think the one who arrested us got into a load of trouble... but good goddess! Why did she go crazy like that!?
Entry #5, Summer 17th, Year 1:
✖ A the day of love~ Valentine's Day! That day I did go out. I signed up for an activity... well it was a blind date type of activity. I was set up with Doris, a beautiful woman who dresses as a cowgirl. I have to say it suits her wonderfully. We had a nice time, a casual date to put it as that. I should go out to activities like these more often... since when am I a workaholic anyways?
Entry #6, Summer 24th, Year 1:
✖ Well these days have been busy for me. I haven't even had the chance to go out. To just wander, since I had taken a few trips to the city I used to live at. I had gotten some calls for some work and left for a while. I'm still not done yet, so I believe I'll be this busy for a while. After the art festival of course. I cannot miss that! Which is why I took a small break to finish those sculptures I was preparing for the festival. ...I'm so holed up... This needs to change!
Entry #7, Fall 12th, Year 1:
✖ ...It did change... but not the way I would've liked.
The art festival was simply wonderful. There were so many residents participating, it honestly surprised me. Artists, musicians, a little bit of everything. I had a few people glance at my sculptures, even sold the two of them. Which made it all the more successful, negotiation and publicity! I did also see an interesting woman... she was beautiful. Oh this island has beautiful women. Period.
My birthday came and went... I can't believe I'm twenty-nine now... I'm getting older!!! I don't exactly love that I'm older... and still alone... oh love where are you? Do you avoid me because I long for you? I... have no clue. I hope not.
Now... I had been invited to the masquerade, the most important social event, according to our mayor. Actually it was hosted by him to propose to that girl. Well that might've been the only highlight of the evening... The night was horrifying. Bullets, death, chaos... a lynx... I saw something that was hard to swallow... Doris was among the body count... It's such a hard thing to see a body you knew... you touched before... The only highlight of that night was meeting Carly. A beautiful woman who was very upset about the events. Of course we all were, but I believe it hit her closer than the rest of us... I can't blame her... it was just horrible.
Entry #8, Fall 29th, Year 1:
✖ If I believe in the fairies of Nirvani, and I do... I think they got mad I was spending so much time in the city. It's business but... I prolonged it more than I should... Damn pretty women... Where am I going with this? Well I was stuck at home with conjunctivitis! Not cool fairies... not cool... But I learned my lesson! Really! I'll socialize! Hopefully considering what happened the last time I went out...
Entry #9, Winter 24th, Year 1:
✖ Well things didn't go horrible... I was just right about the fairies. She was mad and made it clear my home was Nirvani. So I'm listening. It was a simple gift, but I liked it. A silk ribbon. What I didn't like was waking up that morning to a guy in my bed... that was bad.
I decided to sign up for the white day bidding... and once again the whole girl/guy thing followed me. A Danielle bought me, but it turned out to be a Dante. I don't mind really that a guy dresses up... I mind that I get my hopes up... and it's sad... Poor me... Well I had a nice time so I can't really complain. It was better than the pumpkin festival. I had gone as a hippie and that was fun... but I was bored.
Also Gaston, our mayor, decided to ask me for a job. I was excited about it... until I got there. He wanted a naked portrait. Two problems. I don't do guys and I suck at anything that isn't rock. But he then threatened me with jail so I tried not to make the portrait too crappy. He liked it so... we're good. Hopefully... oh please don't send me to jail... not again...
Entry #10, Spring 4th, Year 2:
✖ I was right about things going wrong when I left the house though. Spending New Year's alone did not appeal to me, so I headed to the strip club for some drinking, and hopefully finding someone to spend the night with. I had seen beautiful woman at the art festival, and luck have it I saw her again at the bar. We chatted a bit... maybe we'll see each other again. Ah but I meant that top part because a bit after ringing in the new year we got kicked out of the bar... Apparently something happened in there. I don't think that's a really good way to start the year... maybe Nirvani's cursed? Nah... nah... I hope not...
Entry #11, Summer 6th, Year 2:
✖ Spring is wonderful~ It inspires, it evokes, it is simply the beginning... Albeit a calm one, but I can't complain. I had fun at the festivals, though I didn't do much. The hot springs became a habit for me though... at least until that Florence came by... Now I'm not so interested in them. After all that's what hot water is for, right? ...Damn it I need to be social. Well more. Garnet already threatened to move here if I didn't have a girlfriend in the next year... I'll agree, if only because NPC's are boring. Well no, boring is rude to say. They're... they're boring. There's no other word really. Maybe I should head to the Grind-House. Not for a girlfriend, specifically, but just to get out of the house.
Entry #12, Fall 1st, Year 2:
✖ What do I say? Wish for something... and something else you'll get. All I wanted was to meet people, have some company, hell even a girlfriend, though I'm realistic about that last one. Instead I'm stood up at Valentine's Day and it's organizer set me up with someone at the last minute. Problem was I couldn't touch the woman because she would get jealous! So... I spent the day talking to the librarian. Rather nice woman but... not the date I was hoping for. Not the woman, but the outcome. She was pretty. I suppose I should be thankful the rest of the days at the beach were nice, but then HE came along. My summer was invaded by a being called Benedek. Now... he... he... I'll need some time to get used to him... and prepare for him. Ah, I'm glad I didn't do drugs while I was in high school... turns out they're horrible.
Entry #13, Winter 28th, Year 2:
✖ For once... the island has been lively~ Or rather I was involved, or near... I'll go with near. The art festival was quite entertaining. I chatted with Nanami, that interesting redhead. She's something. I even made some sells. So I'd say very good festival. Which was followed by our lovely mayor's who happens to be clinically insane, wedding. All in all I'd say it was a lovely wedding. Considering how disastrous it could've gone... it did more than lovely.. I can't help but think that that woman doesn't know what she's getting into... I could be wrong. I hope so. Still marriage wasn't nearly enough to keep his family busy, no... a meeting at the hot springs demanded my painter self to create a reminder of a very odd night. Naked wrestling, naked chatting... naked everything... I have to say for multi-toned blobs the painting was turning out quite well. Until Reinbach said something about poor people, or peasants... I didn't really pay attention until the butler told me to leave. Ah freedom for me... least White Day came up... and it was rather depressing let me say. I ended up painting again for Reinbach.
