[Hiiragi rips up a photo and tosses it into the trash.]

... Is our memories really anyone else's business.?I am tossing out the photos that are not of myself or Jun. I'd appreciate it if those of you who found ours do the same.


[OOC: The photo he ripped up was of Soubi and Ritsuka. 8D Someone's still sore over the whole Kuromi crushing on Soubi thing. Fufufu. Same link as Jun and Raikov's if you want his photos.]

... Yumeno Uta has departed from the City once again. Her portrait is in the Hall of the Missing.

It's better this way. I hated seeing her unhappy. She's safe at home now...

[Oh, Hiiragi has way too many elephants to name. One he kicks into his closet as he notices the camera's turned on.]

You do so enjoy revealing my secrets, don't you City? Secrets are meant to remain just that though.

Like me secretly enjoying that time I was cursed and was somewhat physical t-

[connection cut]

An interesting curse, I suppose. Thankfully I have good balance so the rollerblades I was forced to wear weren't that much of a bother.

Tch.. First Carl-san, now Yumeno-kun.. Damned place.

.. And for those of you curious: Yum- Hn.. Uta-kun has departed from the City.


[OOC: strikes deleted. gawd my activity sucks. orz]

[Fail!Private]

Ugh. I have that erge to ramble. Damned curse day...

Oichi-hime, Kuromi, Yumeno-kun. Three women, three problems. I appear to have horrible luck. With Yumeno-kun arriving to the City, I feel as if the deities are mocking me. There is so many things I can't let her find out, yet the City makes that difficult sometimes. I... I don't know if I would want her to know about everything. The Dark Power, Usamimi, my relationship with Kuromi, her and that brunette brat... Finding out these things all at once would ultimately break her. I've hurt her too much in my time already...

Why, even after these years, must I still feel for her? I thought distancing myself would make the pain go away but it's still there. I promised Kuromi I would wait for her to return but with Yumeno-kun here, not knowing of her future, that gives me a chance to experience a relationship with her that I could never have back in my world.

But it's wrong, isn't it? I would be cheating on Kuromi. Why should that matter? I've betrayed and cheated on people before to get what I want in the past... But I ultimately know she isn't mine and was never meant to be.

... Yet it's easier saying that than sticking to that mindset.

I'm... sorry, Kuromi. You deserve someone better.


[OOC: Mmm, no inner monologue. He thinks this is private but thanks to the curse, it's not! Apologizes for the baaaw.]

I ... hn.. Is.. this wrong?

[Private to Uta//Unhackable]
Yumeno-kun, would you like to accompany me to the ballet this weekend?

( Private//Unhackable )

Jun, Carl. Yumeno-kun will be staying next door to us. I told her if she ever needs anything, she may come over.

[Filtered away from Uta//unhackable]
I would like to hold off on Yumeno-kun finding out about Usamimi and my brother's and my own involvement with the Dark Power for as long as possible. I'm sure some curse will inform her eventually, knowing my luck, but until then, do not inform her of either topic.

( Usamimi Kamen's first appearance )

( Hiiragi gets rejected for the first time! )

It doesn't matter what world I'm in, I always have to endure such humiliating events.

..... Not a word about what you have just seen.


[OOC: Again, sorry for no subtitles. THEY'RE STILL FUNNY AS HELL. First video, USAMIMI KAMEN GOODNESS. His first time summoned. You know his Butler Sebastian loves it. See how bratty he gets when he doesn't get his way? Throwing the dinner table. Tsk tsk.

The second video, Hiiragi asks Uta to some tea, and Uta says "Nevermind that! We need to save Jun!" or something along the lines of that. Hiiragi's so shocked she turned down spending time with him that he repeats "Nevermind that" over and over in his head. 8D Baku seems to know what's bothering him and teases him about it. Lawl.]

It's been nearly half a year since I arrived in the City. Half a year since I had to deal with annoying fangirls, My Melo, Kuromi, or being Usamimi Kamen.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I would much rather put up with their annoying antics than what happens in this City. To be summoned as Usamimi would be more preferable than dealing with the drama here. I never realized how easy I had it before.

I feel utterly useless sitting in this apartment, even with the violin classes. Sebastian is not here to help, console, or advise me on what I should do next. If I were home, I would be working on projects, making new records, perhaps even dating. I've had many girlfriends over the years but they never mattered to me. It was just so they would continue to worship the ground I walked upon. But ever since the issue with Yumeno-kun, I haven't been interested in a relationship. My ego was severely damaged when she began dating that hapless twit, Kogure or whatever his name is. As much as I would like to blame him, I know all too well it is entirely my fault that she moved on.

... Heh, to think, the three women I ever had feelings for are untouchable. Just my luck?

Mn.. Which reminds me.. Even with my charms and allure, becoming friends with people is difficult for me. I never had a need for them before. I was always number one. All I needed was me, myself, and I. Now, thanks to Yumeno-kun teaching me about friendship, I have a small group of whom I actually refer to as such, and even then, they do not know much about me.

I do not like socializing either, unless it is needed. A concert, a party. Something that benefits my fame, my career, or my ego. Or that's how it used to be. Now I just prefer to be left alone.

But being alone and not talking won't solve my problems. ... It is very hard to admit that or to even speak of such things, so perhaps I should be thankful for today's curse.

Oh, yes. And I would appreciate if you would stop heckling me about Usamimi. I'd like to see how you would deal with that situation if you were in my place.

... Yumeno-kun's snowglobe. And still no sign of Kurumi-chan.

Akechi-sama, I've fixed the apartment wall. Everything else seems to be in good condition though. If there is anything else you would like me to do, let me know.

Takani-san, thank you again for letting me stay at the cafe during the attack.
