He's supposedly a genius, but a genius at what I have no clue yet. Maybe he's a genius at annoying the crap out of me, because he's sure doing that with flying colors.

My actions stem from the fact that I hated my world. I hated the way people acted and I felt everything would be better if they were on a leash. Destruction would be welcomed if paradise wasn't an option.
... But did you really hate your world that much?"
It's odd really.
I've had a lot of "siblings" over the last year and a half, and all of them have come and gone and none of them ever really stuck. Some of them have gone within the span of a week.
But Clod? Has been here for a while. She's weird to a pretty massive degree, but you know? I'm pretty friggin' weird too. Where she's from, she was apparently a God, meant to restart the world or something. And a God? Is what I always wanted to be.
She gets me. In some ways, I think. Like the way I think about things or see other people or...how I am. I don't know if I'd say she understands, I guess, but...I connect with her.
I hope she stays. Guess that's selfish, but I don't care. I'd like her to stay.
"We were friends once. Even if you were annoying, cowardly, and selfish, it was nice having you as a neighbor and some one I could get into trouble with. I don't think you're as far gone as you seem, Pokey. Maybe we're here for a reason. Or maybe our fight is just beginning.. But I'll leave that up to you.."
What's there to say about Ness?
I'm serious about that. Like, I've known him for so long that he seemed like a constant to me. And that everything he is? Is obvious to me, which I guess wouldn't be true for other people.
We had a pretty normal childhood: we grew up together as neighbors, played together, went to school together, and took opposing sides when an invading alien force came to our world, just like every kid eventually does. We fought, he won as always, and I ran, daring him to come.
..I didn't think I'd see him again like this. With us trapped here. And he keeps friggin' getting droned and...I guess at one point I would have seen that as a victory. But now, really? It bothers me.
Even if this place is a hell hole, I just want him to be Ness.

"If I know anything about younger brothers... He can forgive you anything. If you don't have a future anymore... you make a new one.
That's what the rest of us do."
Where do I even start with this kid.
I've been screwing around time and space for a while. In fact, I would kind of call screwing around time and space kind of my thing by this point. It's pretty rad, or was, to be quite honest. But apparently at some point - in a hundred years time, in a thousand years time, I dunno, amounts of time are kind of meaningless to me by this point - I'm going to end up in this kid's world and destroy it.
Or I would.
That isn't happening. Not now.
We don't like each other, but all the friendship and love crap that this kid kept espousing...well. I've learned it isn't such crap like I thought it was. He was right. I was wrong. I accept that by this point.
I doubt we're ever going to be friends or on good terms or some crap like that. But at the very least? I won't let the future he went through happen to another universe and version of him on my part. I refuse.

Picky is a stupid, scrawny nerd who's about as smart as the world's dumbest duckling and twice as gullible as it. I swear, I don't know what he'd do with out me, probably like...get eaten by a bunch of ferrets or something. That sounds about right.
...But he's also brave, and honest, and decent. He's the best thing that came out of my family, period. He's the best of my family, and if anything? He has the best chance to make something of himself. I should have helped him with that, when we were back in Onett instead of what I did. I...guess I thought I was helping, though it wasn't a particularly good way to do go about that crap, in retrospect.
I'm not abandoning him. Not this time. I'm going to do what I should've been doing in Onett the entire time. I can't protect him from everything, but I'm not letting this place destroy him, chew him up.
I'm going to be your big brother this time, a decent one, Picky. I promise.
"... You aren't King P. It is difficult to see you becoming King P. You don't look any different from the day you found me, but you are much too different."
Some weird guy from the future. Apparently, I tricked him into working for me or being my servant or some crap which, you know, if I manage to trick you? I think you legitimately have to work for me, but that's just me.
He seems sneaky and underhanded, which are pluses in my book, so hey. Maybe I will end up using the guy here too.
He says he doesn't see me becoming the future me. Which is good, I guess.

This freak and I? Have a pretty long history.
I being a time-traveling, ageless villain and he being some kind of phantasmal construct that hits people with bats, it's just logical we'd become friends. Which didn't really start out that way, since we hated each others guts and ended up killing one another once or twice.

So I didn't meant to befriend this little kid, it just kind of....happened. She was going around with fliers for some stupid pet-show or something and then she got me talking about cookies somehow when I tried to shut the door in her face.
And I've come to realize...she's a sweet kid. It doesn't make any sense except for how sadistic this place is that she's been continued to be alone for as long as she has. And she blames herself or thinks she's done something wrong when, really, it's just this stupid place.
I'm going to take care of her. She's one of the people whose really kept me a float here. I owe her that much.

"It's not a good idea to laugh underwater~ "
I've known Aisling for a while. Like, since about the time I first landed in this obnoxious hole. Apparently, she's a fairy from Ireland or some crap and can do stupid fairy magic like make flowers grow and turn into a fish. Amazingly useful and practical I know.
But I guess she's pretty alright. I mean, she's at least practical (except for when she thinks she's better at some things than me - she isn't), and she's hung around me for a while. Even after I told everyone what a massive little monster I was in July, she didn't abandon me. So I guess that really says something about her.
I'm trying to be a better friend to her. She deserves that much.
"Yes, a mistake... One mistake is all we may need to rip a larger hole in the uncertainty revolving around this place. We must be careful not to miss that chance."
Rika is a pretty interesting case. At times, she has this weird, stupid super nice personality going on. Which I guess isn't all too bad. I mean, I've met even more annoyingly chipper people than her on her most chipper day, so it's not like I want to bash her face in. And at least she seems to be sincerely decent to me when she's like that. So she isn't all that bad.
But the part of her that's interesting is when she isn't being super chipper, she has this dour, moody personality. And that? I can relate to that a whole lot more than the first personality. She's intelligent and somewhat...I don't know how to put it. Cutting, a little? Maybe crass, but not quite?
Either way, she's interesting to talk to for the most part, that's for sure.
■■■■■■■■■■ character; Edward Nigma/The Riddler canon; DC Comics journal;puzzlerprince
♦♦♦♦♦/♠♠♠♠♠/◊
"...clearly, I've underestimated you."
Eddie is an alright guy.
Apparently back home and, well, here, he's a super villain called the Riddler. Which I think is a dumb name but hey the gimmick is kind of cool and I guess there are really very few other names you could have to go with what he does. Along with me and a few other villains, we started the Legion of Doom here in Mayfield with the intent of toppling the current system through acts of villainy. Which...hasn't really gone anywhere recently, but hey. That's life.
I'm kind of worried about him, due to a lot of what I've heard from Slugger. Mainly on the level of worrying about him doing something stupid and getting all of us screwed, but also on a personal level too I guess.
"Would you prefer it if I said yes, I agree, you deserve all the bad stuff you get?"
Psychic kid who also has an astoundingly tiny pony for some reason. We were in the KND together when that was going on here and, while we don't exactly hang out all that often, we talk every now and then. Really, it's kind of nice even just having known someone for as long as I have with Raz, especially here where people can disappear at a moments notice.
■■■■■■■■■■ character; Ken Hidaka canon; Weiss Kreuz journal;weiss_tank
♦♦♦♦♦/♠♠♠♠♠/◊
"You really are a lonely boy aren't you."
So I've known this guy since the first day I got here. He's an astoundingly chipper, Polly Anna kind of guy, which is annoying, but he's also an assassin, which is super cool. Ever since I got here, he's apparently wanted to help me, which I guess is just part of his personality and who he is taking over. He didn't even know me and he decided he wanted to help me.
And when he did know me, and how bad I was? He still wanted to help me.
I don't know how to still think of that. It amazes me anyone would put up with my crap if they'd known all about what I'd done. But at the same time? It helps. A lot.
This little witch is one of my neighbors and, apparently, also an extremely powerful vampire.
She's sly, aggressive, mean-spirited, and has a short amount of patience for bullcrap. So she's kind of immediately someone I can get along with and like. She's interesting, at the very least, and could be a great person to have in my corner if things go bad and she has her powers, so there's that angle as well.
■■■■■■■■■■ character; Gash canon; Gash Bell journal;redtogold
♦♦♦♦♦/♠♠♠♠♠/◊
"If things are bad, I-
I promise to be stronger this time. I will."
So I knew this little geek when I first got here, and then he got droned for nearly a year before coming back without any memories of having been here in the first place. Which isn't such a shame, I guess, considering he was exactly the same as he was when he'd been here the first time, and it isn't hard to imagine the kid just forgetting crap left and right, despite being some king of demons or something.
He's another one of the people who just would not let up on me when he got here. It was annoying at first. It's still kind of annoying. But now I can also...appreciate it, I guess.
We're friends, I guess you could say. Man. I wish I didn't have so many friends who were little kids. That's kind of pathetic looking.
Um... well, it's not like I keep a log of all the times I was right."
Uh-oh it's the captain of the self-righteous geek squad!
So Jade is some girl who does outlandishly dumb things despite being fairly intelligent. I can say that she's intelligent because she wants to be my friend, and that she does dumb things because she doesn't agree with how right I am a lot of the time. It's not like I care that she gets hurt or in trouble, that's just because of her own stupid stubbornness. I don't care at all.
But I guess if I had a choice I'd really prefer she, y'know, not keep getting hurt and in trouble. I'd prefer that for a lot of people know but I just...I don't want to see this place get to her, or break her like it does other people. She's a decent person.

"Everyone should find something to believe in. Hope is something you have to make for yourself, not preach and expect that's enough to make people feel better. ...It's what I think anyway."
So while I've been in town, there's been a lot of kids who've come and gone that train these monster things called Pokemon. Which is pretty cool, monsters are pretty much the epitome of cool except when they're cutesy monsters which is, like, 65% of the time with these things.
Anyway, of all of them, Red is probably the one I understand the best. Most of the Pokemon kids are these ultra cheery, happy go lucky people who never shut up with love and friendship crap. Red is quite, and somber, and generally doesn't speak more than he needs to from what I can tell so, you know what? I appreciate that a lot.
He has a Pikachu like Ash does too. In fact, he reminds me a lot like Ash, if Ash would shut up and not spout friendship crap all the time. So he's nothing like Ash actually I guess. What a wasted metaphor.

This weird girl I know who's...I dunno. It's kind of hard to explain Shana and I's relationship, because I'm not really sure how it started. We just kind of met and, from that point, kind of started to bond. Like I don't know how that happened, really, just one of those stupid little coincidences everyone else says is a happy one. I guess I could call it that by now.
She's kind of like a big sister, in a way, or how I'd imagine one.
It's nice, being the kid whose taken care of for once.

This takes effort as much as anything else. Which is why I suspect you'd be better off finding a different method."
Slugger's not!mom and my English teacher. She's unbearably arrogant and self-righteous, and I guess it's unbearable because she does tend to be right most of the time. So she's pretty much one of the worst people ever to have to deal with.
But Slugger likes her, so I'll try and respect her, at least openly and not insult her. I don't like her and she doesn't like me but as long as I still get to hang around with Slugger I guess I can tolerate her presence.
■■■■■■■■■■ character; Enma Ai canon; Hell Girl journal;miss_enma_ai
♦♦♦♦♦/♠♠♠♠♠/◊
"That's his choice. Not yours."
Slugger's girlfriend. I guess he'd deny that but who really gives a crap, it's pretty obvious to everyone that isn't him and maybe her, or at least everyone else recognizes it and they think we don't.
She's this weird, quiet girl whose hobbies apparently include staring at people. Which is kind of a weird hobby to have, but when your day job is sending people to hell I guess you're kind of bound to have a weird set of hobbies. I didn't really care about her at first, I was willing to put up with her just for Slugger's sake, but as time has gone on, she really isn't so bad. Way too quiet for my tastes, but not so bad.
We're not friends, not really, but I don't have anything against her or anything. If she makes Slugger happy, I guess that's good enough for me.
About a year ago, this psychotic cyber witch slit my throat for defending my own property. I mean, if you don't want to get hit in the head with a wrench, you should back off when I tell you to back off.
And now a year later, she's helping me rebuild Josephine after that ugly toolbag Black Mage blew her away during the zombie invasion.
I have no clue what is up with me, but I've got to stop getting on good terms with people who had killed me before. I mean, I guess it's working out with her, she hasn't threatened me or anything which I guess is better than I should hope for. And it's nice to find someone else who knows tech.

"No, I've got much more important stuff to do. And it's not like anybody ever invites me anywa--
... I don't need 'em, anyway."
One of my earliest neighbors here and my first friend.
Like I don't even know where to begin with her. She was rude, and didn't know how to deal with people, and constantly angry and yelling. But really that was fine with me, because honestly? That's pretty much who I am. But aside from those traits, she was also brave, and intelligent, and outstandingly persistent.
And I do mean persistent. Since the moment I really got to know her she wanted me to join the KND that was forming here. And...no one had really asked me to be part of a group before. Well, not a group composed mainly of kids and/or humans, anyway. And for once, when she kept talking to me during their meetings, or hanging around with me, or working with me...I felt wanted for once.
I miss her. A lot. God. I hope she's okay wherever she is now.
■■■■■■■■■■ character; Tak canon; Invader Zim journal;insectoidalien
♦♦♦♦♦/♠♠♠♠♠/◊
"I think you're inferior based on not being an Irken. Fair enough?"
Another one of my first friends here, though Tak was a bit different from the rest. I say that more due to the fact that she was a lot more like me in personality than the other people I've befriended here, and not just the fact that she was a world conquering/destroying alien. Though I guess that'd be a difference to point out, too.
It was nice. Having someone else who knew the thrill of scheming, and conquering things like it was a game. It was nice to have someone to talk with on that level and have them get it. I dunno how much friends we actually are, or where on her end, but I know I consider her one.

I've known Aisling for a while. Like, since about the time I first landed in this obnoxious hole. Apparently, she's a fairy from Ireland or some crap and can do stupid fairy magic like make flowers grow and turn into a fish. Amazingly useful and practical I know.
But I guess she's pretty alright. I mean, she's at least practical (except for when she thinks she's better at some things than me - she isn't), and she's hung around me for a while. Even after I told everyone what a massive little monster I was in July, she didn't abandon me. So I guess that really says something about her.
I'm trying to be a better friend to her. She deserves that much.

"Yes, a mistake... One mistake is all we may need to rip a larger hole in the uncertainty revolving around this place. We must be careful not to miss that chance."
Rika is a pretty interesting case. At times, she has this weird, stupid super nice personality going on. Which I guess isn't all too bad. I mean, I've met even more annoyingly chipper people than her on her most chipper day, so it's not like I want to bash her face in. And at least she seems to be sincerely decent to me when she's like that. So she isn't all that bad.
But the part of her that's interesting is when she isn't being super chipper, she has this dour, moody personality. And that? I can relate to that a whole lot more than the first personality. She's intelligent and somewhat...I don't know how to put it. Cutting, a little? Maybe crass, but not quite?
Either way, she's interesting to talk to for the most part, that's for sure.

"...clearly, I've underestimated you."
Eddie is an alright guy.
Apparently back home and, well, here, he's a super villain called the Riddler. Which I think is a dumb name but hey the gimmick is kind of cool and I guess there are really very few other names you could have to go with what he does. Along with me and a few other villains, we started the Legion of Doom here in Mayfield with the intent of toppling the current system through acts of villainy. Which...hasn't really gone anywhere recently, but hey. That's life.
I'm kind of worried about him, due to a lot of what I've heard from Slugger. Mainly on the level of worrying about him doing something stupid and getting all of us screwed, but also on a personal level too I guess.

Psychic kid who also has an astoundingly tiny pony for some reason. We were in the KND together when that was going on here and, while we don't exactly hang out all that often, we talk every now and then. Really, it's kind of nice even just having known someone for as long as I have with Raz, especially here where people can disappear at a moments notice.

"You really are a lonely boy aren't you."
So I've known this guy since the first day I got here. He's an astoundingly chipper, Polly Anna kind of guy, which is annoying, but he's also an assassin, which is super cool. Ever since I got here, he's apparently wanted to help me, which I guess is just part of his personality and who he is taking over. He didn't even know me and he decided he wanted to help me.
And when he did know me, and how bad I was? He still wanted to help me.
I don't know how to still think of that. It amazes me anyone would put up with my crap if they'd known all about what I'd done. But at the same time? It helps. A lot.
Thank you.

"I never said you were "cool"."
This little witch is one of my neighbors and, apparently, also an extremely powerful vampire.
She's sly, aggressive, mean-spirited, and has a short amount of patience for bullcrap. So she's kind of immediately someone I can get along with and like. She's interesting, at the very least, and could be a great person to have in my corner if things go bad and she has her powers, so there's that angle as well.
She isn't bad conversation either, I guess.

"If things are bad, I-
I promise to be stronger this time. I will."
So I knew this little geek when I first got here, and then he got droned for nearly a year before coming back without any memories of having been here in the first place. Which isn't such a shame, I guess, considering he was exactly the same as he was when he'd been here the first time, and it isn't hard to imagine the kid just forgetting crap left and right, despite being some king of demons or something.
He's another one of the people who just would not let up on me when he got here. It was annoying at first. It's still kind of annoying. But now I can also...appreciate it, I guess.
We're friends, I guess you could say. Man. I wish I didn't have so many friends who were little kids. That's kind of pathetic looking.

Um... well, it's not like I keep a log of all the times I was right."
Uh-oh it's the captain of the self-righteous geek squad!
So Jade is some girl who does outlandishly dumb things despite being fairly intelligent. I can say that she's intelligent because she wants to be my friend, and that she does dumb things because she doesn't agree with how right I am a lot of the time. It's not like I care that she gets hurt or in trouble, that's just because of her own stupid stubbornness. I don't care at all.
But I guess if I had a choice I'd really prefer she, y'know, not keep getting hurt and in trouble. I'd prefer that for a lot of people know but I just...I don't want to see this place get to her, or break her like it does other people. She's a decent person.
I'm glad we're becoming friends.

"Everyone should find something to believe in. Hope is something you have to make for yourself, not preach and expect that's enough to make people feel better. ...It's what I think anyway."
So while I've been in town, there's been a lot of kids who've come and gone that train these monster things called Pokemon. Which is pretty cool, monsters are pretty much the epitome of cool except when they're cutesy monsters which is, like, 65% of the time with these things.
Anyway, of all of them, Red is probably the one I understand the best. Most of the Pokemon kids are these ultra cheery, happy go lucky people who never shut up with love and friendship crap. Red is quite, and somber, and generally doesn't speak more than he needs to from what I can tell so, you know what? I appreciate that a lot.
He has a Pikachu like Ash does too. In fact, he reminds me a lot like Ash, if Ash would shut up and not spout friendship crap all the time. So he's nothing like Ash actually I guess. What a wasted metaphor.

This weird girl I know who's...I dunno. It's kind of hard to explain Shana and I's relationship, because I'm not really sure how it started. We just kind of met and, from that point, kind of started to bond. Like I don't know how that happened, really, just one of those stupid little coincidences everyone else says is a happy one. I guess I could call it that by now.
She's kind of like a big sister, in a way, or how I'd imagine one.
It's nice, being the kid whose taken care of for once.

This takes effort as much as anything else. Which is why I suspect you'd be better off finding a different method."
Slugger's not!mom and my English teacher. She's unbearably arrogant and self-righteous, and I guess it's unbearable because she does tend to be right most of the time. So she's pretty much one of the worst people ever to have to deal with.
But Slugger likes her, so I'll try and respect her, at least openly and not insult her. I don't like her and she doesn't like me but as long as I still get to hang around with Slugger I guess I can tolerate her presence.

"That's his choice. Not yours."
Slugger's girlfriend. I guess he'd deny that but who really gives a crap, it's pretty obvious to everyone that isn't him and maybe her, or at least everyone else recognizes it and they think we don't.
She's this weird, quiet girl whose hobbies apparently include staring at people. Which is kind of a weird hobby to have, but when your day job is sending people to hell I guess you're kind of bound to have a weird set of hobbies. I didn't really care about her at first, I was willing to put up with her just for Slugger's sake, but as time has gone on, she really isn't so bad. Way too quiet for my tastes, but not so bad.
We're not friends, not really, but I don't have anything against her or anything. If she makes Slugger happy, I guess that's good enough for me.

About a year ago, this psychotic cyber witch slit my throat for defending my own property. I mean, if you don't want to get hit in the head with a wrench, you should back off when I tell you to back off.
And now a year later, she's helping me rebuild Josephine after that ugly toolbag Black Mage blew her away during the zombie invasion.
I have no clue what is up with me, but I've got to stop getting on good terms with people who had killed me before. I mean, I guess it's working out with her, she hasn't threatened me or anything which I guess is better than I should hope for. And it's nice to find someone else who knows tech.

"No, I've got much more important stuff to do. And it's not like anybody ever invites me anywa--
... I don't need 'em, anyway."
One of my earliest neighbors here and my first friend.
Like I don't even know where to begin with her. She was rude, and didn't know how to deal with people, and constantly angry and yelling. But really that was fine with me, because honestly? That's pretty much who I am. But aside from those traits, she was also brave, and intelligent, and outstandingly persistent.
And I do mean persistent. Since the moment I really got to know her she wanted me to join the KND that was forming here. And...no one had really asked me to be part of a group before. Well, not a group composed mainly of kids and/or humans, anyway. And for once, when she kept talking to me during their meetings, or hanging around with me, or working with me...I felt wanted for once.
I miss her. A lot. God. I hope she's okay wherever she is now.

"I think you're inferior based on not being an Irken. Fair enough?"
Another one of my first friends here, though Tak was a bit different from the rest. I say that more due to the fact that she was a lot more like me in personality than the other people I've befriended here, and not just the fact that she was a world conquering/destroying alien. Though I guess that'd be a difference to point out, too.
It was nice. Having someone else who knew the thrill of scheming, and conquering things like it was a game. It was nice to have someone to talk with on that level and have them get it. I dunno how much friends we actually are, or where on her end, but I know I consider her one.
Wonder what she's doing now.
