~~At last....~~

( Filtered to friends )

[[Strike visible but unhackable. This will be Jei's final post; thanks for making his SH years interesting. ^^]]

*page is stained with sweat and ink*

[[Private, hackable to very close friends]]

..heh...

..hahahahaha, the fools: they'll be wondering by now. They won't think I've gone this way. If I'd taken the quickest route, I would be found inside the city

*heavy quill score in the parchment*

..one more hour... the tunnels will be open, and then I will be faster.

[[/private]]

*folks in London might see a thin, scruffy schoolboy with a pack slung over his shoulder legging it through the darkest alleys he can find, trying to get out of town -- or at least to a safe place -- before the moon rises*

[[Jei's taken his wolfsbane, so he won't be biting anyone tonight, but he's had it up to there and this will be his last night in London. Backdated to an hour before dark -- after dark, folks might see what appears to be a large but scrawny dog carrying the same pack and running full tilt for an unknown destination.]]

Current Music: blaring traffic horns

Dry grass in the road
breaks thinly under my heel:
smell of too much sun.

*ink blot; several scribbles*

Buses should learn to stop for people on streetcorners. */cryptic*

..And those Dark Wizards should be hanged for what they have done. How can there be forgiveness for such vermin?

[[Oh look, he's discovered haiku. XD Strike hackable to friends.]]

..heh heh heh...

heh heh...

AAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA--!!!!!!! *cut off abruptly*

~~I can stand all summer here if that door isn't blocked up.....~~

[[Strike mostly hackable, but if you're not a close friend, he'll lie about it. XD Aaaand Jei is played during this event by Kett Turton!]]

[[Hackable to close friends]]

Today, in the street before our gates, a musician died of heatstroke because he had nowhere to go, while the nation mourned and jeered over the passing of someone greater. Why can small creatures, with no idea how high or low humanity can become, be so much more innocent?

~~If they would let me use magic....~~

[[/hackable]]

Piper. How are White and Twist? *meaning how are you, but he isn't just going to say it*

*has avoided almost everyone since the what-if event, just ripping through his exams like mad, and is now in the library, hiding out in the back where he thinks no one will come*

*and as for his journal? it's stuffed in a sock somewhere in the dorm. Because he's sick of the castle's false hope and just wants to get out and away from days of insanity when he turns on everyone he knows... and if he misses certain people, well, they're probably better off without him*

[[That one event did a number on Jei. Argh. I'm trying to prod him awake, but he's really avoidy right now.]]

I do not know how you pathetic Eagles contrived to kidnap so many of us, but rest assured, you will pay.

[[Filtered to Slytherins]]

The Ravenclaw dorms have no particular secrets. How I came there is a mystery, but they all seem disgustingly certain that intellect can save them from any disaster. Fools.

[[/filtered]]

[[( Slytherin. Still a werewolf. No longer blind. ) Also... that filter was readable solely by actual Slytherins, not those who only think they ware for the event. Oho.
Edit: now that the event is over, Jei has crossed the whole filter thing out. The cross-out is visible, but only those who read it during the event will know what it said.]]

It will soon be time to choose classes for third year....

So much time has passed. ~~They have been quiet, back there.~~

White is carrying somebody's pillow up and down the stairs. I suspect he thinks he is a hermit crab.

[[Private, hackable with difficulty]]

I cannot take them with me this time. There are too many dangers..... but where else can they go?

[[/private]]

[[Feel free to see Jei's pet crab running around Ravenclaw Tower with a pillow (it could be yours! 8D). Since the kids at Jei's "home" are cruel, he needs to find a summer home for his crab and salamander.]]

Current Mood: not bad, actually

~~At least it's warmer~~ out this time of year....

History of Magic is a foolish series of never-ending tragedies. It feels foolish to say that a lesson can be learned from it; those who do are always destroyed by those those who refuse to learn....

..there must be another lesson to counteract.... *trailing off into a vague scribble*

[[Private to Paul; hackable to Jei's close friends]]

..How are the wards in that place? Last time, I felt... I almost felt free... Would you check?

[[/private]]

[[First line is where a strikeout went off-course and became an underline, so the second half of the sentence is readable. 'That place' refers to the Shrieking Shack, where Jei spends his full moons; he's afraid there might be a weak place in the wards that would allow him to escape. What goes on during those times is pretty obscure to him afterwards, except that it hurts. (For those who haven't met him yet: he's a werewolf, though very few people besides the teachers are aware of that.)]]

~~There are too many dead people in this house.~~

These nights are pleasant; it is quiet and the sky is as empty as the earth. These 'stars' that people speak of: what truth can they hold over us from so far away? Better to trust those things which can be heard and felt.

Twist got into the clay. I don't know where he went.

[[Strike maybe, possibly hackable to Ravenclaws and staff. Jei knows of several vampires in the school already, and can usually tell one when he meets one due to his very sharp perceptions -- let me know if you don't want yours to be known.

And Twist is Jei's salamander. Feel free to see it tracking clay over anything in Ravenclaw Tower, though bad things may happen if you hurt him.♥]]

Everything was quiet for a few days. This place does not know when to quit.

Heh heh heh.... it will be good to go outside for a change.... all of my work has taken three times as long as it should have.

I thought Hogwarts could be different.

COWARDS.

[[Angry at the rumors about Bel, the bad vibes from Slytherin House, the constant disruptions, the Ministry spies, and pretty much everything. Not a recipe for a happy werewolf. Strike hackable, but only if you're really, really good at that. Will snarl if someone bumps into him. 8D
And yes, I'm breaking hiatus for this, because you people are too awesome to stay away from for long. Hi, everyone!~]]

*writing under his desk*

New rules and no way out.... and there are still ~~those things~~ babies everywhere....

[[/private]]

The review was too easy. ~~I want to go exploring again.~~

Yamino, Vivi... perhaps we shall go outside after class.

[[Strike hackable to those who are close to Jei. He's been unable to sneak out of Ravenclaw House at night since security was ramped up, and is frustrated about being stuck inside with all the babies, especially now that he knows they aren't real.

Also, Gai's next post should have been up yesterday, but it's coming this evening if I can manage it. Forgive my lateness; some family stuff came up.]]

Current Location: Charms class

Something drooled on my homework. *seethes*

[[Private; hackable with difficulty]]

The music room was adequate. So was the left-wing dungeon. But I should not use them again tonight. Finding a new place will be safer.

~~If that mediwizard does not ask questions.... it would be strange; he is practically made of questions....~~

[[/private]]

[[Filtered to Paul]]

Paul. What is wrong with the baby?

[[/filtered]]

[[Jei's been sleeping in random hiding places around the castle to avoid the crying babies in Ravenclaw Tower, aware that the odds are that he'll get caught but not really caring at this point. Hitsugaya has probably noticed that he's not there for lights-out. XD And if you're the hacker type and are suspicious, you can probably read this -- he hasn't realized yet that anybody would bother to.
As for the baby, that question comes out of this log. ]]

They're all crying!

[[Private, hackable with difficulty]]

..I will not stay in Ravenclaw Tower while this is happening. There are too many of them. ~~Some will be hurt--~~

..and it is just as well that I didn't.... hmph. Such helpless creatures should not be exposed to one like myself.

There are quiet places in the halls of the upper floors. It will not be hard to find one.

[[/private]]

*crouches on his bunk, planning his after-curfew foray into the dark places of the castle*

Some smells are better in moderation. There is too much chocolate to smell anything else.... *sigh* ~~At least the wolfsbane is gone.~~

[[Private, 5% hackable]]

The world is smaller than I believed. There is land and weather in between, but it is only distance. In the end, every one is closer than we think.

..~~she and Emilia showed me how small a thing is distance and time. I will visit them the next time I am free.~~

It is time to start exploring again.

[[In lieu of buying flowers and candy, Jei folded up a bunch of origami roses for his friends: Vivi, Yamino, Fiver, Koushiro ("this is a flower / I made in an hour / and wrote this inside it / to secretly hide it / happy valentines day"), Piper, Paul, Rue, Ritsuka, Cierra, the King of All Cosmos ("unlike the stars, this flower exists"), and even his roommate Hitsugaya. First strike = hackable to Hitsugaya, second unhackable. He's bummed now because of Tayuya leaving, but surprised and pleased that he got roses from people and will hang them up on his bedpost to dry.]]

Heh... heh.....

..*peal of creepy laughter; voice is more hoarse than usual, from all the screaming he did during Quidditch*

I knew we would win this time. I could feel it.

Kid.... if you are putting charms on my crab, you will soon wish you were in another House.

[[Jei's white crab has been very, very asymmetrical since someone stepped on it last year and crushed part of its shell. His nasty roommates have been telling him that someone keeps putting glamours on it to straighten it out. They may or may not be lying. XDDDD

..And his teachers are free to speak to him regarding his unorthodox behavior during the match. He got a little wild there toward the end. *eyedart*]]

Everybody SHUT IT! This will not get you out of classes; it didn't the last time!

Noisy, naughty people deserve retribution. A shame that I had to find my lost journal only to see this....

[[Filtered to his team]]

Whoever is not on the field in ten minutes will be at a disadvantage on Sunday. Do you want them to think Ravenclaws are lazy? Well?

[[/filtered]]

[[Jei will be wearing his normal school uniform, although his sweater might be a little... tight. He's also more temperamental in this state, and may hex people who spazz too much.

CANON ICON IS CANON. Stan Sakai = ftw.]]

...

I can see....

[[*but his handwriting is still lousy*]]

..I hate it down here.....

There is NOTHING WRONG with my arm. That bludger didn't hurt!

[[Private]]

Even if it hadn't happened, there would have been no difference. The Snitch is worth too much. I want to get out of here.

[[/private]]

*rubs his shoulder, which hurts quite a bit; has a fleeting feeling it might have gone better if the team had, oh, bothered to practice together some more before playing, but.... getting them together would clearly be like herding cats*

*page is covered with crab tracks and abstract doodles in blue ink*

I can fly even better now. Ravenclaw is going to win.

[[Private]]

I won't take them back there. They could kill them and nobody could prove it....

There are many places to hide here.....

[[/private]]

*slips the book into his pocket, listens for activity from his dormmates, and sneaks out the door and downstairs, not caring that it's after curfew*
