[[T-O-E's monument is a smooth square stone obelisk, roughly nine feet tall, standing in between City Hall and the park. Carved on it is the following inscription, with plenty of room for expansion:

Shit.

[ At least he has his wooden box with him. That alone would mean survival, if this was another week-long phenomenon. Unfortunately, it was almost more full of mushi-related items than survival items.

the contents )

He's worried now. People will go to the woods, and that means some of them will run into more than just the animals... ]

A warning to those who go into the woods. If you see anything unusual, anything unexplainable, don't touch it or even approach it. There are things in this world yet unknown to humans, and I don't have time to explain it to everyone.

If you ask me, our priority right now is making sure everyone's here and accounted for; we'll deal with shelter and food after that. I think it'd be safe to organize groups based on where we live. The townspeople are taking care of their own families. How about Memoria apartments residents sticking together, and then Ari apartments staying close? Recall who lived on your floor to the best of your knowledge, including the newcomers. We don't have a room assignment board to check right now.

I've lived most of my life on the road, sleeping and traveling outdoors, so I can help find ways for us to make do with what's around us. The best thing is to keep a calm head and think logically. Don't eat anything if you're not sure it's safe, that kind of thing.

If we lose sight of anyone, we should be able to find them easily enough with my mugura-riding technique, and Trunks' flying abilities. Who else has abilities that they can provide to help us out? Healers, can you still use your magic?

Tsuna, I'm hiring you as my teacher's assistant. Come see me after class, and we'll work out the details.

I wouldn't try skipping out, otherwise a certain someone might drag you here himself. =_W Let's...just talk, okay?

A few people said they were interested in going in a group to the Kiokushitaka hot springs; are there any others? If you'd like to come, don't feel obligated to r.s.v.p.; go ahead and just meet us there, 5PM this coming Friday. The one-night stay at the ryokan (which includes dinner and breakfast the next morning)...is on me. For anyone who shows up. I really don't feel right having this much money anyway. I know there's a few new people out there who haven't built up their finances yet, so this is mostly for them.

Let's start the meal after everyone's had a chance to soak in the baths for however long they want, or work up an appetite by playing ping-pong. There're plenty ways to enjoy the facilities.

(( OOC:: Info on the hot springs here! I'm pretty sure all that info is considered ICly available to the characters somehow, too. I'll make a log by Friday, I PROMISE!

*clears throat* and now, of course let's not forget... ))

Life is...an adventure.

I had no idea, on multiple levels. How long had he felt that way and kept quiet? ...Mm. In any case, I hope I can follow through on my promise. I'll try my damnedest to. And it's because I want to. That is what is important. I'll live each day as if it were my last on the island; that's what I decided a long time ago.

... *sigh* I would not be surprised if he becomes the death of me. o_W I wish I were exaggerating.

[Filter to Hibari]

"Stay away from Tsuna"? Give me a break, oy..

I have an interesting story that I've been meaning to share with you; I didn't mention everything I remembered, in my last entry. Remind me to tell you.

Also, get your pants hemmed. *yeah, so it's a month late, he's trying!*

[Filter to Booster]

Happy 6-months-in-Memoria-Apartments. *present for youuuu! it's a super-nice billiards stick!*

...And thanks for your understanding. It meant a lot to me, sorry I had to cut the conversation short.

[Public]

It's definitely hot springs weather now. Who hasn't been to the Kiokushitaka onsen here yet? I want to go when there're other people, it's fun to get to know each other in the atmosphere there. I've yet to see it as packed as when it first opened two years ago...

[ Ginko wasn't strutting. He didn't strut. He strolled. He was strolling like normal! It didn't matter that he was strolling with slightly more confidence today. And it also didn't have anything at all to do with materialistic things like what one was wearing.

If you're curious, which he didn't care if you were or not, Ginko was wearing a new long coat, new pants, and a brand-spanking new pair of shoes. Italian. Under the coat was a comfortable new cashmere sweater.

But of course, it's not like he was waiting for people to say something. Nawww. ]

Hope Kyouya doesn't make too much of a fool of himself when I walk into the classroom. ...Well. Maybe I hope he does, actually.

(( OOC: In the last post, Ginko went and put down several thousand dollars for some new threads! He's really had the same boring style for all his time here at the island, so you guys would probably notice. How exciting. This memory of the "False Spring" episode is a 5% memory regain because I think it's an important one for Ginko; that's 2% left over from Oktoberfest, and 3% from Halloween. If you've come to like my Ginko here at ME, WATCH THIS EPISODE; it is where a good amount of his characterization comes from♥ X3 ))

We all knew something like this would probably be coming, so let's just do our best until it's over. Reasonable, right?

I can't tell what these clothes I received mean, but at least I can still see with the eyeglasses. Why the island gives me two-lens spectacles when I have just one eye is beyond me; also, they're broken. Does anyone know what this costume is supposed to represent, by chance?

This pocket contraption does seem interesting.

It's not very warm, and no matter how many times I try to pull my coat on, my arm can't get inside even one sleeve. I hope you don't mind me turning up the heat, Booster.

*sigh* One week...and hopefully nothing else comes up. I truly wish that last year's Halloween events do not repeat themselves.

[Private, hard to hack]

Why do these pants ride up so much. *_W

(( Ginko is, at heart, just a big nerd. He's wearing something like that costume, except he has normal teeth. :D

I rejected another crucial moment, because I forgot how much it matters to you; when you came to the school a month or two ago, and earlier this week. I keep thinking "he can deal with it"...

I'm sorry. My door is still unlocked, I'll be waiting as long as it takes. Please.

This matters to me more than you could know.

(( Hibari didn't show up at class! Ginko is so screwed. He's been around the apartment suite more often recently, Booster! So far he's only said "over at Kyouya's" to explain his frequent absence, before; I dunno if you'd have any more curiosity about that. You haven't heard any noise, though; they're smarter than that. 8I ))

The mugura experiment was very much a success. Thank you again, Mistral and Kyouya. The three of us hiked south of the town, towards the nearest peek in the southern mountain range. I've included a map to demonstrate the width of the area I was able to observe while my conscious was fused with the mugura network in the ground. Pretty large area, I'm happy to say. Did you know that we have a desert south of us? I only knew about it before thanks to Trunks' map.

I remembered more about my 'other' life.

There was a small village on the other side of a deep, deep ravine, high in the mountains. The only way to reach it was a rickety old suspension bridge; I swear I almost died crossing it. =_W They tried fixing it for me so I could get back, but in the meantime I met the girl I'd been asked by letter to inspect. She had fallen into that same ravene months before, and miraculously found her way home; she did not speak, however. A mushi had attached itself to her body after she'd landed, animating her body. I could tell that it was very likely that the mushi had inhabited a corpse, but there still existed the possibility that she had survived the fall.

She had a lover in the village. Her mother was not his biggest fan, to say the least. He'd wanted to leave the village with the girl, and she had accidentally slipped and fell from the bridge that night when they tried to run away. He wanted to believe she was still alive somewhere in that empty catatonic stare of hers.

The mushi finally left. She...did not return.

He and I tried to leave the village, but accidentally, he slipped and fell before I could catch hold of his arm. Much later, I heard news that he had returned to the village after this. Empty face, devoid of life...

Perhaps their souls found each other in the afterlife.

(( OOC:: Ha. I have no idea about that teacher log we were talking about. If you want to reply here with your teacher character and chat like you're at the bar, might as well! Also, Ginko is very annoyed and pissy for some reason. WONDER WHY. Also, that map is indeed visible to your characters! Ginko's been keeping it to himself ahaha. He got it from Trunks a while ago. No idea if anyone's seen a map of the full island before... OH ALSO, 3% memory regain spent on "One Night Bridge", 2% remaining. ))

I have now been here on the island for exactly 2 years.

I'll be heading out soon to finally test out the mugura riding skill I remembered a month or so ago. If anyone has any urge to go hiking into the forest at the same time, let me know; I'll see if I can find you through the consciousness of the mugura or not. I'm not sure if they'll extend all the way to the town, though.

Sorry this is taking so long, teachers; if you're still interested, let's make that meeting happen. Everyone I spoke to was all right with the bar. No other objections I assume? *describes a particular date and time*

I'm noticing more and more how much technology that my fellow amnesiacs know about that I don't, thanks to being pulled from later dates in history. The library is only so helpful, I've found.

Right now, I'm researching the following items:

- Conputars Computers
- Motor Cycles Motorcycles
- The Uses of Chemicals in Household "Cleaners"

[Private, unhackable to Booster, hackable to other friends pretty much]

I came home to the apartment sparkling clean and devoid of any trace of scum, dirt, or filth. That punk... he definitely broke in. Looks like Booster thinks I'm the one that did it, though.

[Private, unhackable]

After talking things through and coming to an understanding...we ended up doing it again.

Many thanks for the onigiri, the tea, and the hiking boots. Now... What are you doing. =_W *talking about Hibari attending class for the first time since he enrolled at Memento Eden School*

I feel as if my head were about to burst... I can hear everything, all of it. Every word, every feeling, every notion crossing every mind on this entire island.

And what's more, I can't see--

(( BOOSTER! Get yer superhero ass over to help your apartmentmate! 8O Unless the event started when he was out of the apartment. Anyway, feel free to talk, or interact in person, or what have you. You have no idea how much my comicbook fangirl is enjoying this event. Ginko has obtained powers (and also a glowing eye) similar to that of [Cable] from Marvel comics. Lucky Ginko doesn't have a Jesus complex! Also, his powers aren't as colossal. 8O But he's got telepathy and telekinesis, ahyup. He should be able to control his telepathy better with some concentration...I hope... ))

mugura
Thank you for accompanying me to the ball, Tanyuu; I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. Kyouya, I promise we'll go on that hike together soon.

I remembered something, just like they said we would. It wasn't an event, or a person, but a skill. Mushishi aren't magicians; they can't call down thunder and fire or manipulate the minds of other living things. However, the knowledge we collect on our journeys does provide us some special talents. One of them is "mugura riding". Mugura are a kind of underground mushi that, to put it simply, act as the nerves and veins of a mountain. A skilled Mushishi can call them up and, by sending their consciousness into it, race through the roots of plants and trees to detect what the Mushishi cannot alone, however far away in the root system it may be.

I can find anyone lost on the mountain, if the need arises, now. Please let me know if I can ever be of help to anyone, and spread the word. Ask for Ginko.

[Private, hard to hack]

Like others, I received something from home. It is necessary to use the skill I described above, but it has a far greater value than acting simply as Mugura-bait.

I hold in my possession what some might describe as "the water of life". We mushishi, though, call it Luminosity. It is the base of life itself, put into liquid form, and I carry one jug-full of it now in my room. Who knows how these items were selected and sent to us, but I find myself grateful for this island's magic, once again. With this, I can lure in mugura so that I can look for anything in any of the mountains on this island...and perhaps the sources of the magic here.

[Filter to Fay, Mistral, and Hibari]

Which of you three would be available to help me with a trek into the woods for an experiment? Don't worry, I'm making myself the test subject, so you'll be safe. I just need someone watching my back while it's happening.

(( 1% memory regain from the Tanabata Ball. Ginko received his kouki jug. Hope he uses it well! Luckily, using it for mugura riding doesn't *use it up* or anything. Having someone digest it, though, means it's gone, naturally. ))

I've finished catching up on [T-O-E's monument]. I wasn't sure how proficient of an engraver I could be with only a small amount of instruction (thanks to some research at the library and asking around in the market), but I believe the result is good enough. Mm. Something like that, yeah. *scratches the back of his head*

Kallen, could I count on your help in keeping watch for new arrivals on the room assignment board at Ari Apartments? Living at Memoria, it isn't someplace I'm near particularly often, so I could see myself missing a name if it were only me who checked it.

(( And so, every time a new name appears on the room assignment board from this day on, you can find Ginko wearing his medical mask and some worker's gloves, *chink-chink-chink*-ing away at the tall, black monument between City Hall and the park. He's bought a tool set for it (let's say $80, mods!), and thanks to his eye for detail and steady hands, actually makes for a decent engraver. It's hard to tell where T-O-E's work stopped and his began.

We obviously don't need to have Kallen telling Ginko every single time there's a new name, Kallen-mun, but it's not a bad way to have an excuse to randomly comment on any of Ginko's posts after this! :D I'll be checking and adding all the names to the monument post myself<3 ))


[Private, hackable to friends]

I'll be taking Tanyuu to the upcoming ball. I hope to see lots of other familiar faces there. Sosuke Aizen, and many others have left us in the past weeks. Shall we remember them together?

i don't like you
I've spoken to a few people, and as far as I can tell, there was something strange about the mysterious events that affected me 3 weeks ago. It was the same as everyone else; I was transformed into my younger self. However, I can't remember patches of what happened during those 7 days. What I said. Who I thought I was. Everyone who I remember speaking to seems unable to remember what "that boy" looked like, and the things he...I was asking about.

Their memories and mine have been tampered with by the magic of this island.

...I don't like this.

[Private, hackable to friends]

When I came to as my usual self, I was in the forest, in the middle of the night. Did anyone see "me" go there, or have any clue why? I can't remember that, either.

That aside... I've remembered other things, around when I was ten... )

[Public]

T-O-E has left. Who else here was friends with him? I would like to continue the work on the monument he erected in honor of those who come here.

((Since Ginko's childhood memories are sealed thanks to his lost item and that darn Tokoyami mushi, he got 3% memories instead of the 5% everyone else got. I spent 2% on the rest of Ginko's memories about being with Isaza and the nomads, and 1% on Suguro's name and face; he's from a yet-to-be-translated chapter of Mushishi that is the last bit of Ginko-centric plot in Mushishi, and I'm saving the rest of that for a long ways down the road. :3

Hey, what DID happen to T-O-E's monument? Can Ginko steal the list from T-O-E's journal archives and keep going at it himself, both OOC and IC...?

FRIENDLY REMINDER FOR PEOPLE WHO TALKED TO YOKI/GINKO: Remember, they can't remember what he looked like, but they CAN remember that they didn't realize he was Ginko, because of how he looked; i.e., they remember that he definitely didn't have white hair and one green eye.))

[ Yoki woke up in "Ginko"'s room, having been allowed to stay there after Booster brought him there himself a few nights before. If only this Ginko person would show up... Why was he gone? No one he spoke to seemed to know. All that he could find led him to nothing but dead-ends. People had been changed into younger and older versions of themselves, but no one who looked like Ginko had appeared, regardless of age. It frustrated Yoki. Ginko must know what was going on. Yoki had been through the things in the room while he knew he wouldn't get caught; the man was a Mushishi, that much was clear. His wooden box contained all sorts of things that Yoki could barely identify, but the scrolls and texts on mushi research were easy enough to spot. Ginko, a mushishi with white hair and one green eye.

...Why *would* he know anything about Nui, though? Yoki realized, as the week neared its end, that he had felt less and less concerned about finding Nui and more and more concerned about this Ginko fellow. It didn't make any sense. He felt like someone was stealing Nui's identity at first. If this person had white hair and one green eye, then that meant that he had bathed in the light of the Ginko mushi... Why was their name the same?

Yoki woke up in "Ginko"'s room, in the middle of the night, after having a strange dream. He stared, wide-eyed, out the window, which opened up to the lake and the woods beyond it.

"Listen to me, Yoki. There may come a time when you wander the mountains at night, and then you can't see the road you were walking on because the light has all gone. When the stars have disappeared and you've lost your bearings. That happens normally, but if you also can't remember your past or your name, then that means that the Tokoyami is near. They say that if you can remember, you can get away from it. If you can't remember your past no matter what, then find a name for yourself, anything. In exchange, however, you will lose all the memories of the life when you used your previous name," Nui had told him.

He knew it. It really is-- He
IS...

Suddenly, he could swear he saw a flash of light, far off in the woods. The pond-- Nui--!

Yoki bolted out of bed, and ran outside and to the woods. That light, it meant that Nui was there, that she was finally-- He had to stop her, even if it meant saying goodbye to all these memories. He ran and ran, pushing aside branches he could barely see in the darkness, crying and breathing heavily. He had to stop her, even if it meant taking on the name of the mushi that did this to her. He couldn't let her go--!

Even if it meant giving up his past, his self, his sight-- ]


I'M COMING!!--

*suddenly something blinks in and out of existence, and Ginko lies face-first on the forest floor, staring at the dirt; he slowly pushes himself up, and stares around, completely dumbfounded*

...Why am I...?

*ahead, the pond - no light, no glow; just a pond in the middle of the night - he regards it confusingly, gets up to his feet, and looks up into the sky, seeing the moon hanging among the stars*

*he can't remember...*


((I'm sorry if this is incorrect format posting such an action-based post here instead of at memento_logs, but I really wanted it to stay in this journal so it would be part of the threesome postings I did for this event. Is that okay? ANYWAY for now, just a reminder that anyone who interacted with Yoki the scared little boy will not remember what things Yoki told them, they will only remember that his appearance was different from what Ginko's is, assuming they know Ginko. They don't remember his name difference, or ANYHING else. Another note about this post; there was no light in the woods, he was seeing things. :3

I'll write up another post in the next couple of days for Ginko's special-case 3% memory regain, for now I need to get ready for Vash's crazy stuff. 8O))

A man named Booster told me that he lives with someone who had white hair and one green eye...but I can't tell or not if it's Nui. For one thing, he says it's a man. But, the name "Ginko"... That was the name of the mushi that Nui named in the pond, that lives inside the Tokoyami mushi. *grips his fists tight* ...It's thanks to that cursed Ginko mushi that her hair turned white and she lost her eye...!

Anyway, I looked around his apartment while Booster wasn't looking, but I couldn't find a lot, except for cigarettes, just like Nui's! *determined tone* I don't know what to think about this yet, but I feel like... Nui is involved here, somehow. I think I can find her, and I'm sure I'll need to talk to this "Ginko" to find her.

[Private, so unhackable that it's almost unhackable to himself, he's so afraid to admit this]

What if... Nui became a victim to the Tokoyami mushi, like she warned me about? Did she loose her memories, and take on a new name?

What if she forgot all about me...

[Public, because it's just action]

*bored, taking a break from snooping around, he takes one of the cigarettes he took from the apartment out of his sleeve, and tries lighting it with a match he stole somewhere else - he miraculously manages to light it, thanks to seeing Nui do it so often before*

EDIT:: ((DARN IT, this might be too late, but anyway, just a reminder!! People who interact with Yoki will not remember anything about him, besides how he looked, and if they figure out that this is Ginko, then they'll remember that too, I imagine.))

How...did I end up in this place? Was there a town this close to Nui's pond...? I tried going back into the forest, but I can't find her or her hut. It's like they disappeared. I'm...lost... *tries to get his eyes not to tear up* ...Nui...! Why did she say that to me? I thought we could live together there at the pond, and everything'd be fine. I don't want to be alone, she's the closest I have to a...

*wipes his face on his kimono sleeve, sniffing* I don't want to live on the road anymore. I just want to stay with Nui!

*starts to search the town frantically for her*

Excuse me, um...have you seen someone with white hair and one green eye?

((I'm taking Ginko a.k.a. Yoki from right after Nui told him to leave the pond and travel on his own, but right before... Stuff Happens. This little boy is just as he appears in his icon; two black eyes, dark hair, and slightly tanned skin. Ginko wha who eh? >83 ufufufu. You are free to tell him everything and anything you want, including the existence of a man with white hair and one green eye and alla that. I'd love for him to slowly discover what is going on and finally put it all together before he goes away at the end of the week...

Please keep in mind that, because Ginko's childhood memories are canonically sealed by a mushi, all characters will not remember a thing about their interactions with this boy after the event, only that they *did* interact, and their memories are full of blanks, oh noes! The only thing that Ginko and other people will remember is that his appearance was different, but no details beyond that at all, including his name. Thanks for your cooperation♥))

hearing the story
My assistant and student, Haruhi, disappeared.

She was a hard worker. I'm in trouble without her...-_W;

[Private, hard to hack]

She also taught me what it means to lead your life knowing how it can affect those you care about. I'd never been yelled at before that, by someone I respected. After that, I respected her more. She was so straight-forward, even more so than I can be at times.

*exhales out of his nose slowly* ....I don't know if anyone can fill that person's shoes.

...

I finally revealed to Tanyuu, about her past and my knowing her. Were my words helpful? The smile on her face was...accepting, but I can't help but feel like I could've done more for her. What will become of her leg, if she stays in Memento Eden for too long without stories to seal the curse away? How much time will she waste here?

Is that really something that you could call a waste?

There is no point in searching for mushi to kill on the island; it could not be enough to make much of a difference. It couldn't...

[Public]

This is a public advertisement for an open work position. I'm looking for a teacher's assistant who will work a couple hours a day every weekday with me to help organize my students' schoolwork and my own schedule and curriculum. Pay is $100 a week. Please contact me for an interview if you're interested.

((I fiiiiigured this was okay since this is basically what we had set up for Haruhi. Characters please respond to this post if yer lookin' for a job♥ ))

74 - goodbye, Ari apartments

[Filter to all his friends at Ari apartments]

I'm moving to room 302 at Memoria, with Booster. Don't hesitate to stop by. I won't need any help moving, since I've only compiled a box-full of things since I first came here.

[Private, hard to hack]

It was chaotic, and dangerous from time to time...but I did like it here. It was the first place I ever lived in without moving in such a long time.

[Public ish, but meant for Booster]

What...is all of this? =_W; *looking at all the boxes of stuff in their new place, the stuff Booster purchased*

*Mew the cat is freaking out and mewing loudly and doing his best to start claiming everything in the apartment as his, rubbing against this door frame and that table and Ginko's leg just to make EXTRA SURE* Ssh, calm yourself down, cat... *nudges him away, but to no avail of course* If you make a mess on the floor out of nervousness, there goes my time for grading exams. -_W

((Are exams at school now? Already happened? Hmm! Anyway, hey all you new people, did I mention that Ginko is your science teacher? He has a really boring tone of voice that is easy to fall asleep to, but if you're interested in the subject you learn a lot from him))

73 - ever-changing

[Filter to Booster, but openly hackable to any friends]

I'm thinking of moving to Memoria Apartments. I've heard good things about it from Kyouya and my colleagues at the school, and I think I'd like a change of pace from the usual chaos that blows through this place every so often. [Private] This place reminds me of her, also... [/Private]

You're welcome to join me. *small grin* Otherwise, you never know what kind of roommate you could get assigned when someone else new comes to the island. They do charge rent at Memoria, though. It's up to you.

((There you have it! As soon as Booster gives his opinion, I'm gonna have Ginko request a room at Memoria. Then I can RP a character who is moving into a new living place, just like I am right now! Hee♥ But yeah, I think this has been a long time coming. He's feeling very transitional, ever since Priscilla disappeared.

Also, AF, did I ever mention that Ginko has a cat named Mew? XD;; Mew would be coming with Ginko, so Booster would have to say goodbye, aw...!))

72 - they listened (action post)

on the porch looking at the scenery
...!

[ He had thought about what he told Ike. "What will you do now?" "I haven't decided yet." And then when he met with Priscilla... They were both lonely. Even though he had accepted the truth, it didn't stop him from caring for her from the bottom of his heart. He knew, also, that she could never be truly happy with him. He knew that no one knows when they will be sent home. All he could do was pray.

He stood in front of the room assignment board for no more than 10 seconds. Five to re-check the list, three to let the truth in, and two to trace his fingers over the empty line above the name "Ty Lee" for Room 202. He left.


He moved outside. )

*can be found sitting shirtless near the lake, wringing the water out of his drenched shirt and doing his best with his pants still on - he'll come back into the apartments only halfway-drenched so he doesn't make a mess on the floors, no worries*

....Much better. Hm.

((Please don't attack or eat or poke or interrupt Ginko's swim in the lake, thanks XD;;))
