Nov. 4th, 2011 12:18 amThat haunted house was scary, wasn't it? Telling yourself it was just like a horror movie doesn't actually help that much. Dave, Brittany, Santana, are you all okay? You haven't been too worried, have you? But there have been a lot of good things too. Abel-san is back safe and sound, we're almost done recording for the mini-album, the Vajra larva are getting a lot bigger. Everything's balanced.
Balance...like night and day and stars and sun. Even if you're not together, you see them together--
I'LL BE BACK IN A LITTLE BIT, EVERYONE!

Sep. 2nd, 2011 12:01 amThat's one song. I'm still a little nervous, but sharing will make me get to all of this faster, right?
What do you all think?

Aug. 22nd, 2011 11:38 pmDid anyone else get cake? I sort of sat on one [sheepish grin] , but another showed up on my desk. Someone's enjoying the confetti a lot more than I am. [moves out of the way so the viewer can get a clear shot of three vajra larvae jumping in and out of a huge pile of blue and yellow confetti. time of their lives, man. ranka giggles and comes back into frame.] They've been going for a while now. Let's see...I've been pretty busy! Yesterday I had a performance and tomorrow's an interview and-- [ring ring ring ring ring ring ring islug phone] Oops! Sorry, everybody, it's the boss. I'll be right back!
[picks up, talks into the receiver] Hi, Elmo-san! How a--super big news? Yes, I'm sitting down. I'm calm. ...go ahead and tell me, don't make me nervous! [ten seconds of intense listening
then SCERAMING AND CRYING AND JUMPING OUT OF HER CHAIR AND ALL AROUND THE ROOM]

twenty-nine songs // failed private
Aug. 9th, 2011 01:34 amI don't regret what I did, but it'd be nice if it didn't feel so lonely.
At least the Vajra babies are keeping me busy.

Jun. 30th, 2011 08:02 pmI'm me again! [biggest smile in the world] You never know what you have until it's gone. I'd never guess your own body would be gone, but that was before meeting the community. Is everybody else back to normal?
twenty-seven songs
Jun. 4th, 2011 12:56 amThe boss is forcing me to take tomorrow off. No trips to the recording studio at all. It's no fair! I'm just getting back into the swing of things after we found our new home and talking to the Vajra and writing all the songs I've had in my head and catching up with everyone and...okay, maybe that's a little too busy now that I think about it, but that isn't the point! Now isn't the time to rest! Ozma-niisan said the hard work is only beginning. We all have to do our part. Singing and talking for the Vajra to the government is mine. And everyone else is working hard, Brera-niisan--
Wow. It's so easy to type that it's hard to remember that there was a time we saw each other as strangers. It just makes sense for him to be my brother. Everything makes sense now. Where I come from, who I am, my song.... They're all new, but not new at all. Maybe this is how an elephant feels when they see something old for the first time in a long time.
Hold on, did I just call myself an elephant?!

twenty-five songs; private
Mar. 25th, 2011 12:27 amI can't sing. They asked me to at the funeral and I--I can't feel the song in my heart anymore. I can't sing like they want me to. I can't sing like I want me to. It feels like something is missing. Something important. And this sounds crazy, but I know that wherever Ai-kun has to go is where I'll find out everything. My past, my song, maybe even Brera's past too. I have to go.
They'll say I'm a traitor. Ozma-niisan, Nana-chan, Vanille, Sheryl-san, ...Alto-kun. We'll never meet on Frontier ever again.
They're safer without me. And maybe one day, when my song works again, I can come back.
We have to say good-bye.

The people at the concert--Michel-kun....
Why couldn't I save everyone?

Mar. 13th, 2011 09:02 pm[it's an ai-kun jumping on the keyboard again!
or rather, something that looks just like ai-kun since there is another green squirrel type thing standing to the left of the laptop. and that one isn't the one singing along in a high, clearly male voice (or bouncing) to the music.]
You make me feel like I'm living a--
[and ranka appears in the background, dancing and singing as well.]
teenage dream, the way you turn me on!
I can't sleep; let's run away
and don't ever look back, don't ever look back!
My heart stops when you look at me
Just one touch, now baby I believe
that this is real so take a chance
and don't ever look back, don't ever look back!
[and so it goes until the song is over. ranka says, ]
Find another one, Noina!
[noina jumps on some buttons as a proper green squirrel-like creature DJ would. dance party. it is on.]

Feb. 17th, 2011 02:24 pmWhat's wrong with Brera? Why did he attack Grace?
And why does he say I'm in danger?
And why does he say I'm in danger?
[an ever-present drone of a large jet prepping its engine almost (almost) drowns out ranka's voice, small and very nervous.]
It's okay. I can do this. I'm the only one who can. I'm ready. I can do this.
[each affirmation is followed by a deep, calming breath. wherever she is and whatever "this" may be, it's gotta be big. a woman's voice cuts in on the inhale of another breath.]
Almost there, Ranka. Are you ready?
[she exhales.]
I am, Cannaria-san.

Feb. 1st, 2011 10:20 pmThe government finally got back to us on their results...it really does look like my song affects the Vajra. They still don't know why but they want me to help. Grace wrote new words to it so it'd fit better. We're going to start recording tonight. Maybe it'll stop the fighting.
I hope so.
[locked from Grace]
Something doesn't feel right about it. The words don't fit. Well, it fits the melody, it's just...wrong. It's for everyone's good. It'll help Alto-kun and Ozma-niisan and Brera-san. It'll help, right?
...why am I having such a hard time singing this?
I hope so.
