So, um. What's with the giant fruit?
I mean, I wouldn't ask, 'cuz it's probably asking for trouble or tempting fate or something really terminally stupid, and usually nobody knows anything anyhow, but it's been hanging everywhere for a day or two now and it's kind of creeping me out. It's like, when's the other shoe gonna drop?
[Pause.] You know, if fruits were shoes.
Not that I think these ones are gonna actually fall off the Tree. At least, I hope not. They look majorly heavy, and I like visiting the islands without wearing a helmet.

Hey, Wolf? I wasn't home last night because there's this fancy horse thing following me around! I figured I should write and stuff so you wouldn't worry or anything.
She's pretty much the best pet ever and she's crazy pretty but she's not such a fan of the elevator, so I'm just hanging out in the islands for now, okay? I'll come say hi at the shop later!
[After a pause, the following attempt to draw this appears with painstaking care below.]

[Accidental Radio Transmission]
[A burst of static rocks the airwaves, then settles gently into the sound of blowing wind and the scuffling of enormous claws on bare earth, rustling feathers and the occasional good-natured "wark!" For several seconds, this peaceful ambient noise continues uninterrupted.]
[Then, the pastoral quiet is shattered by the long creak of a metal gate swinging open, and human footsteps crunching on the sandy ground. There is a growing sound of uneasy "wark"ing and the rapid scratching of many trotting feet, as if the chocobos are fleeing en masse to the other side of the paddock.]
Hey! Don't run away! I'm nice, I promise! [Pause.] What did they call you again? Chocobos? Heeeeere, chocobos! Nice little chocobos, just stay right there and let--hey! Hey! Stand still! Quit--I said, stand still!
[The shuffling and warking has turned gradually into a frantic fluttering, scratching and WARK WARK WARKing, and at the girl's frustrated shriek, it goes audibly out of control, turning into noisy animal chaos. Over the clatter of the metal gate banging against the fence and the cacophony of large, escaping flightless birds, she can still be heard yelling:]
Come back heeeere!
[Nearly every chocobo in the paddock is now loose and spreading across Melee Island towards the bridges. Who knows where they'll end up, or what shenanigans might ensue? Sphere, you have been warned. Marbles will be paying no attention to noises coming out of the radio, but her journal is here.]

ATTENTION, KING & KING!
Both of you owe me a date already! SOOO, quit skulking around like a great big baby and c'mon out! Playing hard to get is not winning you any points, it's been like a whole week! In case you can't tell, I'm talking to you, King-I-don't-know!
King-I-do-know, I know you're good for it. :) So, you know, whenever you're free and stuff.

Best. Clothes. Ever. There's gears and stuff on these goggles that I don't even know what they do, and my arm? So cool.
[Pause.]
So, um. If somebody wanted to get a set of lockpicks, where could they do that? Around here. You know...hypothetically?

HEY!
[The handwriting unspools eagerly across the page, sloppy and slanting up at an odd angle in its excited hurriedness. It is hard to write in mittens.]
What are these huge birds called? I swear I know what they're called but I can't--quite--think of it! C'mon, throw me a line here!

Hey, so I woke up this morning and I had a new outfit. Kiiind of creeped out about how exactly my clothes got changed, but other than that, I'm liking it! No, seriously, it's cute and kinda sassy. You know, something about this look just feels so....me!
It's sort of cold, though. :|

This food is people!
I mean, okay, it's kind of cool that they got it to look so...real? Is real the right word? Like, I can still tell this is a hot dog or a cake or whatever, but it's really, really...people-shaped. Some of 'em even look familiar. Hunh.
This is still totally twisted, though. Cake is awesome but it gets way less appealing when you have to chop up somebody's face to eat any. Especially somebody you know.

Okay, seriously, is the weather like this all the time? Because storms are one thing, but it's flattened out there. I figured with the sunshine and daisies and everything downstairs that it couldn't be that bad upstairs, but...yeah.
On the bright side, my head isn't stuffed full of snot anymore, and food tastes like something again. Finally! Worst. Cold. Ever. So not fair.
Hey, Wolf? Do you remember where our rooms were?

You know that Wilderness place everybody keeps telling us not to visit? It turns you into an animal! This is the coolest thing ever and we need to go right now, okay? I bet you ten coins I can guess what you turn into.
Oh, also, we should probably get jobs soon.

Marbles!
So yeah, thanks, everybody who helped me decide! Except the crazy people. And the jerks. But everybody else, thanks for all the nifty ideas! :)
