Concrit post for Aikka only, if you please. Comments, concerns, complaints on how I play him are welcome here. Alternatively, my AIM is metalbender pwns or feel free to send a message to my personal journal later_days if you'd rather do it that way.

All comments are screened. And don't worry about the IP address, I am too lazy and lack the knowledge to do anything with them.

With every passing day it has brought great warmth to see friendship growing between the Crogs and my people. It seems that the prior hesitation and unease to work alongside them has started to subside among some of the older generations now as well.

Before I forget, I must jot this down. As I slept, I had a dream of the Great Race of Oban and how it brings together the many peoples of this galaxy. And then I had an idea. Perhaps to better encourage harmony with the humans and the Crogs, Nourasia could hold a race. Obviously not on such grand proportions as the one on Oban, but a peaceful race with no weapons allowed.

Current Mood: inspired

With every day that passes, the Crogs continue to test my patience. Their leader insists that reestablishing their old colonies outside the Holy City of Dol will strengthen our ties, but I am not so naive to believe such a brazen lie. If they so much as tear down a single tree, I shall not make the same mistake my father did. They will be driven off of Nourasia, by whatever means necessary. If it requires that force is needed to do so, as much as it pains me to say, so be it. I will not stand for such treachery so long as I am king.

((As a result of the "Turn Left" event, the formerly improving situation between Nourasia and Kramm due to Jordan introducing a couple of the more agreeable Crogs to help rebuild and make reparations for all the bad shit they pulled during the Great Race of Oban never happened and it's really tense there. This in turn has made Aikka a lot more stressed and quick to snap, for which he will apologize. Also, since Ten wasn't around for saving Jordan from Canaletto's lair and the massive fight with Canaletto at Jordan and Eva's wedding, Aikka did get much more prominently involved... and paid the price with about 1/5th of his left ear and a finger. He's also gained a number of stress lines on his face, looks older, and is about as battle-hardened as his fencing master, Canaan.))

Current Mood: stressed

The virus should have worn off by now. Dol Arrah, I may be forced to remain female for an entire month again....

I pray this has nothing to do with Canaletto again.

((Strike hackable to close friends.))

Treaty discussions and Parliament sessions are not very conducive to a social life. Day in and day out listening to the officials argue and bark at each other. It is enough to give one a headache of grand proportions after sitting through an entire session. It's almost astounding that after being king for a couple of years, you would think I was accustomed to this by now.

I apologize for my extended absence, my friends. How have you all been, as of late?

I do not feel so good.... My stomach is cramping horribly and... I do not have a clue what happened to cause this.

Dol Arrah... if anyone needs me... I think I'm going to be in the bathroom for a long time.

((Uh, actually, I don't think I'll be backdating this one okay, maybe a few days and say Aikka stayed even after the virus wore off. Anyhoo, long story short. Nourasians have an intolerance to milk products, neither Jordan or Aikka really knew (since there are no milk products on Nourasia), and they had ice cream while Aikka is on Earth. Sooooo, he's got stomach cramps and... er... other lovely digestive system problems associated with lactose intolerance/milk allergies. Jordan, let the food war begin~))

Current Mood: sick

A virus so soon after everything that has occurred as of late? If this truly is a virus. Oh... oh my....


((Post-wedding battle and whatnot.))

Current Mood: surprised

Dol Arrah... why is my father standing in my study?

He has been dead for over a year.... Is this some trick of Canaletto's?

((Last one, I swear. :3))

Current Mood: speechless

((Late post is late. :P Backdated to just after the Canaletto/Stalker bird post.))

Is it possible that I am still as indecisive as I was two years ago? Perhaps I am weak, seeing as I was unconscious for most of the final battle.

Maybe I am powerless.... Dol Arrah, what if I am unable to keep my word? The shame would be too great....

Current Mood: unsure

( Meme behind cut )

What is the meaning of this? I don't even know who some of these people are.

Current Mood: disturbed

Aikka immediately had a private room prepared with tea, wanting to make Jordan's visit a little less awkward than he knew it was going to be for him.

After ordering out all the servants and advisers, warning them not to disturb him unless it was an absolute state of emergency, he sat down and waited for Jordan.

Sometimes I cannot believe myself. I said I was happy for them, I even agreed to be Jordan's best man, but I am not sure if I can bring myself to go through with it....

I know Eva probably gave up on me long ago, but deep down... I still love her. But it would be selfish of me to tell her how I feel or to beg her not to marry Jordan. I do not deserve to be friends with either one of them if I cannot even control my own emotions.... Let alone be Jordan's best man.

Perhaps it would have been better for me to keep focusing on my people and my planet, rather than coming back and subjecting myself to this heartbreak. Even if I would have found out about it later.

Current Mood: ashamed

*headdesk* Yes I know I epic!fail at activity with Aikka, but I'm still wondering where his muse went on vacation and I really, really don't want to drop him. Which is why I'm posting this here.

Comment here with anything you like or think I should work on. It can be my writing itself, my conduct as a player, characterization, anything. For every one thing you mention, I'll say one back to you.

And I beg of you to be brutally honest, so hit me with everything you've got.

Just as a recap (due to character my recent pick ups/drop offs), I play:

Aikka- bluebeetlerider
Toph- bendsmetal
Haku- iliveforzabuza

Current Mood: embarrassed

Well, since returning home my life has grown rather busy. Every time I have tried to post in my journal the past few weeks I have always been called away for a meeting or given more work. Sometimes I wish I could just forget about it all and just do as I please. Maybe for a while someone else could watch over Nourasia and do everything for me (all my paperwork and such). However, I know that cannot be. To do so would be to shirk my responsibilities and should the public find out, I would no longer have their respect. It took long enough to get them to trust me as their new king after my father died (it is simply amazing how much they doubted me to take command and be an effective leader).

Oh the strange workings of life....

Current Mood: thoughtful

Just so none of you worry about me, I'm going to Martin to visit his world. Apparently he needs help with something called homework.... I do not know how long I shall be gone, but I know I will return sometime soon.

((OOC: This is a note that Aikka's leaving. He was supposedly staying at Rick's, but I don't think Rick-mun knew....))

((OOC 2: If it's okay with the other Oban people, Aikka's going to change back into a guy during his little trip, okay?))

Current Mood: excited

I... I have no idea why I did it.... The way she was talking, it sounded as if they had broken up. Why?! What possessed me to do it? I thought I buried my feelings for her long ago. I simply cannot win. Even when I win, I lose. For example, when the Crogs left, my father died soon afterwards. My life always seems to bring me back to pain and misery. No matter how happy I become, it all turns to dust.

((OOC: This has to do with the drama going on with him, Eva, and Jordan on Zaza, which has culminated here. Now I have a nice little request for those of you who read this. TALK TO HIM!!! Please?))

Current Mood: conflicted

Hello again, I just felt like sharing the pic I drew of Aikka in his Masquerade costume. I've posted it twice in the rp journal, but for those who either can't find it or are too lazy to go digging through all the posts for it (like I would be -_-; ). So click the link for Aikka as Miroku! :D

Current Mood: cheerful

Everything just goes by so fast here. One minute I am hearing about various people who have grown extra animal appendages and then the next I am preparing for a large dance where everyone dresses up.

I must thank Eva for giving me the idea for my costume. One day when I came over her house, she was watching a type of show she called 'anime'. She invited me to stay and watch it. The show was called InuYasha and I particularly liked the garb of the character Miroku, who she explained was a 'lecherous monk'. I do not care what makes him a lecherous monk, but that is my costume for the Masquerade.

I have been rather busy this past week or so, rendering me unable to find time to devote to this journal. I arrived back in Nourasia when it was 'May 11th' on the Earth calander. I arrived home just as the sun was rising, and was greeted by one of the last people I would have expected. Would you believe that my mother actually left her room to bid me welcome for five minutes before shutting herself away again? It was very pleasant to see her outside of her room (let alone, the palace) for once sicne my father passed. I was disappointed when she went back to her solitude.

After that, my old fencing master and current advisor, Canaan, hustled me into the palace where a fat pile of papers were waiting for me. I grudgingly did them all, the task taking me the entire day and into the night. A few days later, I found a message on my desk bearing the Avatar's seal, asking if Canaan, my mother, and I were able to go to Oban the next day, for his birthday. So I packed up some of my belongings once more and ordered Canaan to do the same. I also told her that we were going on a trip the next day and that it was a surprise. Fortunately, it perked her interest and she gathered up some of her own things. The next day, the three of us were ready for Oban.

Jordan came around midday and teleported us to Oban and aboard a module much like the one Canaan and I occupied during the Great Race. Mother was so amazed by it and immediately took to exploring the whole module. When she found the open ledge, she was in awe by what she saw. Apparently Oban is already working some cure on her. It is very nice to see her smiling again.

Later in the day, Jordan told me he was going back to Earth to fetch Eva, her father, and the rest of the Earth Team. So now we are awaiting his return and I keep hoping that my mother does not return to her reclusive self here.

Current Mood: Okay, I guess
