Welcome to Gaia! ::

✖ Another year at this island huh? It's been good. Just the change I needed. A calm environment, and what better place than an island pulling itself together after a hurricane? Okay that came out wrong... it's still a good place. Things are shaping up in the island so... I'm glad I came here.

It looks like I have a partner now... It feels a bit odd, considering Sophia has been my partner since I got her... but maybe it'll be for the good of it? Or at least I thought that before meeting her. Her name's Romane Bissette, she's a little... paranoid I think. No, distant. That's a better word for her right now. She's really disciplined though, have to respect that. There's also a new sheriff... and he's just weird... How did he even get the job? Well with Gaston ruling over us... anything's possible.

I did go to the cooking festival this year... it was pretty nice. Though Romane was being... too... something for her own good. And I wasn't expecting to see a panda there though... especially participating... Oh this island is just fun.

✖ Next festival to patrol! Well not patrol, I was off duty that day... because my new partner is driving me insane. What is it with her? I don't know... So I took a festival to just enjoy. Didn't get to do that either! Because those rock stars decided to go out high. Which had me busy all night... and I wasn't even on duty! That sucked really...

Later on there was a treasure hunt for the town. I was part of the gold team, and we actually didn't get stuck in a corner... Sure the monk tried to save chocolate eggs thinking they were real but... Oh and then we got stuck in the mine while fighting over another egg, for a few hours... so eventful day. Ah... we also lost to a panda... I'm feeling what that team felt when they lost to the panda at the cooking festival.

Also... I'm pretty wary of Romane... she's acting a little crazy lately...

✖ It's been... well it hasn't been slow, I've been busy... But I have that weird 'calm before the storm' feeling. Weird. Maybe it was that case a few days back? Not the teens with weed, the twins who were robbed. Well robbed isn't right, even if it was a robbery. Apparently someone broke into the general store to steal it's security tapes. I didn't get it at first, but according to Vladimir it could be this woman who wanted something erased. I'll look into it... even if it's obvious... the problem is I'm not sure how to prove it. Well have it make sense. With the no-nonsense partner I have... I doubt I'll manage to find something of it. But I'll try...

✖ Of all the things Romane could do... of all of them! She had to do that!? Oy I... I left her alone for a few hours, just enough while I ran some errands. What does she do? She goes on an arresting spree! Without probably cause! If any only one was detain-able, the rest was just... her on drugs or something. I don't know! How could someone arrest more than ten residents just like that!? It wasn't even on a whim! It was just... arrest day! I was just about to cuff her myself! Holy mother of-We were damn lucky we didn't get sued! Not that our sheriff would care honestly... I had no choice... I suspended her for now. I'm not sure for how long... Maybe until she shows some sanity but... I don't know...

✖ So... I decided to head to that Valentine's Day activity. Turns out it was fun. Who knew? I figured blind dates always turned out horribly... but this one was nice. His name is Pip, I think he works at the club in the island. He was sweet, and we had a good time. Sadly it wasn't anything more than that... pity, he was cute too.

Now... Summer 16th... It's been another year since TK died... I miss her... a lot. I couldn't head over to her grave this year because of work... I feel bad about that, but with Romane on suspension I can't do much except work... This just isn't fair...

✖ I'm old... and lonely... yeah that's depressing. Well my birthday came, and I was working so... Oh that's sad... Anyways we finally got a new sheriff appointed. Ever since the old man was out of the picture I had been going nuts handling everything by myself. Well I could've called Romane in... but she needs some time off. Though I haven't seen her around lately. Not anywhere... and that's worrisome. She's fine... yeah I'm sure of that... I think... Now he's name is John Smith... I think he's more serious than Romane... I didn't know that was possible. Or addicted to work... yeah addicted to work... I don't like this, the station feels like a funeral home. So quiet... Might as euthanize whoever goes in so we can show a corpse... Nah... I'd get fired... or would I?

✖ Well Gaston has certainly proved to be the worst mayor... EVER. So Mr. Horny Von idiot decided to host a masquerade. Of course I had to go in there since I was security. It was nice at first I guess... then it was ridiculous when he proposed to the St. Jean girl. And finally it was hell when a massacre occurred. A massacre... It was something between a shooting and lynx, another of Gaston's pets, loose in the ball room. Cid took care of it... but we were left with fifteen bodies. Well... sixteen. I chased after Romane and Neil and found them being held hostage by Victoria Valentine. She went a little trigger happy... and so did I... but I just got a graze... she got one on the chest... okay four. It turns out she had been trying to get rid of her husband, and this time she succeeded. She poisoned him and well it all went downhill from there. I got some time off after that whole event. And damn it I need it. Actually I think I need to call the psychiatrist that helped me out when I got stabbed... Or I think alcohol might be cheaper.

✖ Time off... has sucked. All I've done is drink and mope. I thought the masquerade didn't really affect me aside from the initial shock but it did. It may have to do with the stabbing from two years ago... The event has brought up a few memories I had thought I'd buried. And it's not letting me enjoy these days. I haven't really been outside... didn't want to go out since I'm a little paranoid. Besides Romane and the sheriff have everything covered. Well Romane... John is still recovering from the chandelier that fell on him.

Speaking of Romane, she came over yesterday. It surprised me really, especially when she asked for a favor. To teach her how to dance. That was, not surprising, but shocking. So I decided to teach her how to swing dance. TK had thought me that when she was ten. She had fallen in love with it and demanded a partner, lucky her I liked it. It's a funny dance, so it surprised me when Romane quickly got the gist of it. I lost my boom-box and a copy but... small price to pay for that afternoon. It was nice.

✖ The holidays came and went. I got a very weird gift. A clock, not the weird part, with a picture, wait for it, of TK and Sophia. HOW did that happen... I'm still reeling in from it. I decided to have a little fun and went to the auction for white day. I won a Russian man, Ciel. We had our date at the New Year's festivities. I enjoyed it actually, he was nice and cute. A gentleman... it's new to me. Not that I miss the guys from the city, you never really do, it's just, new. Oh I can't complain about the year... well I can, but I don't think it's necessary. I mean, I'm alive... and it's Nirvani... can't expect a normal year now can I? I can only worry for the next one.

✖ And I'm writing on this thing today... because I can't really believe how busy this season has been. From paperwork to investigations, I hadn't expected this place to have me running around so much. I had been acting as sheriff since we lost all the others. Not that they did much anyways but, back then there wasn't much to do. Aside from suspicious newcomers at the beginning of the year I had to deal with an exploding boat, a stab victim with a catatonic perpetrator, and a kidnapping. My only downtime was heading to the beach alone. Well that and helping out Cassie. The stab victim was Cassie's younger sister, so she asked me to help out the other one and give her a night off from taking care of her. That ended horribly. At least I got drunk tho. Specifically since my love life was cruel at Valentine's Day as well... Ah, hectic summers are horrible.

✖ I'd like to know when I volunteered for Career Week... I really would. As Romane put it, I got a French delinquent who was late. Surprisingly enough he didn't give much hassle... when he wasn't flirting with a girl... Heh, sorta reminds me of that cop from the city... But Micah doesn't have that cute a** so... Really wasn't worth it. Least I got off some paperwork. Right on time too for the mayor's wedding! Which was surprisingly normal. Well we didn't have a body count so I'll put it as successful. We still don't have a sheriff, and Romane and me are the only cops, so we were security. You'd think he'd let us go as citizens but... no we were there to protect him. Tho truth be told, I'd encourage any crazy b*****d to shoot him.

✖ Winters are depressing here in Nirvani. I was looking forward to White Day, but I didn't win anybody. It should be a sign that somethings wrong, to look forward to such a thing... or it's just plain sad. Well, at the least we got a new officer, which is very nice on the eyes. Parker... Romane doesn't like him, but she never likes anybody, aside from Cid and me... It's not like you can really blame her after that crazy kidnapping. There aren't much incidents that involve death here, but some are just weird. Then there are the ones caused by the idiot rich folks we have, like... Gaston. But you know, duty dulls you. I used to get drunk everyday back then. Now I just get bored, sick too, and DO the paperwork. I'm so doing that again. Alcohol solves everything~
