[voice]

[The journal entry opens with quite a ruckus being caused--the sound of things being thrown haphazardly into a box while tennis shoes stomping back and forth follow them. Finally, Siegfried's voice starts to shout towards the journal in a ranting mood--for anyone that knows him, it's obviously Kyro, and he's obviously not happy.]

Mytho! You see this mess? It's ridiculous. DO YOU HEAR ME?

THIS

IS

RIDICULOUS!!

I don't want to hear any excuses, either! [switching to a whiny, mocking voice for a moment] Oh, but Kyro, the castle threw all of our things out! My clothes were all over the lawn! I couldn't find any pants!

I DON'T CARE! You could have done SOMETHING to fix this mess before you let ME take over and do all the packing!

I'm sick and tired of having to take over for YOU whenever things don't go your way and you want me to take care of them! You could've done half the packing on the lawn! I should NOT have to get up early in the morning to deal with this RIDICULOUS mess!

THERE, FRANZ, ARE YOU HAPPY? I'M BEING OPEN WITH MY EMOTIONS. THIS BLOODY MESS IS RIDICULOUS! THIS CASTLE IS RIDICULOUS! AND I'M GLAD I'M LEAVING FOR CHRISTMAS! I WISH I NEVER HAD TO COME BACK! I NEVER WANTED TO COME HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE!

RIDICULOUS!! [And a large, heavy tome is throwing into a chest with a BANG.]

((OOC: ...My apologies to all of the sixth-year Hufflepuff boys for having to deal with Kyro's temper tantrum. And my apologies to everyone for my activity fail this last...year?))

You know, I was disappointed about maybe missing Halloween, but...not anymore. Kyro can have most of Halloween. I'll take most of this day.

Hey....Ahiru! You...don't really need that textbook, do you?

((OOC: Fail mun is fail. Sorry about totally not being around lately guys--I'll try to be better about activity in the future. ^^;;))

...I'm back. It's been a little while, huh?

A new year, a fresh start. It sounds sort of promising, doesn't it? A chance to prove myself to myself, not my parents. There's something nice about beginning something, about having a clean canvas to work with. It can be whatever you'd like.

That's what they told me, anyway. Don't be nervous, see it as an opportunity...

Well, hello again, Hogwarts. How is everyone? Fakir's been continuing his reign of terror, I imagine. I hope he's been learning to get along with you at least a little.

My roommates this year will be the students that were a year under me, right? I might have to reintroduce myself. I'm Siegfried, but only my family calls me that. You can call me Mytho right now. Kyro later. I...have two personalities, see. ...It's a long story, but you'll probably get used to it. Ask me if you have any questions about it. Franz told me it'd be best to be open about my...erm...condition.

Let me know if Kyro causes any problems tomorrow. He's promised to behave, and I think he will, but it's always nice to know what he's been doing. Although I guess I can count on Fakir, Ahiru and Rue to let me know. Right, guys?

Ah, I better go finish unpacking my trunk.

((OOC: Welp, here we go. Mytho: take two! I'm still figuring out his icons and his profile still needs to be updated, but I'll work on it as I go.))

...Hmm. It smells like...nothing. Should it? I don't know...

There's birds outside the window...crows?

...My teachers said I was supposed to do homework. I should go to the library and do it.

((OOC: Kyro snapped, and Mytho--basically going off his instincts to protect others more than anything else--took over again. However, this Mytho is different. For those of you who know canon, he's basically heartless!Mytho--an empty shell, unable to feel or even understand the concept of emotions. In a sense, his personality is almost 'dead'--he does what he's told and not much else. His incense smells like nothing because he doesn't have the ability to desire anything. If he could, they'd smell of fresh roses.

Currently, Mytho is wandering to the library, without his pants. That's right, all he's wearing is a shirt. (And I do mean that's the ONLY thing he's wearing! Better watch out on those stairs, folks.) Why he goes pantless, nobody knows--maybe he's just more comfortable that way. Feel free to meet him in the hall and try to convince him to dress decently!))

ATTENTION, HOGWARTS!

I am Siegfried. Most of you know me as "Mytho." Mytho, however, is gone. I have a new name now, a new identity.

You can call me "Kyro." It's a much stronger sounding name, don't you think?

Don't bother with 'Mytho' anymore. For all intents and purposes, Mytho is dead.

It's a pleasure to finally speak to you all on my own terms.

( Private//unhackable )

((OOC: Drama! Yes, that's right folks...Kyro is finally revealing himself. Because of the letter he received earlier (no, I'm not revealing the full contents yet, although I've been dropping some vague hints), Mytho has snapped, which allowed Kyro to quickly and decisively take over. But is Mytho fully gone, or is he still somewhere within Siegfried...?))

I'm sorry for neglecting the journals for so long, anyone. My parents are...possessive of my time a pain to deal with the stress equivalent of a Cruciatus Curse very enthusiastic whenever I visit them, so I was very...busy during Christmas holidays. And I've been trying to focus on schoolwork, so...

But I can't stay away from you all for too long! I need to get together with some of you....I think I've kept up with my schoolwork long enough to earn some breaks. Would any of you like to...do...something? Rue, could we have lunch together today? I feel like I haven't spoken to you in so long!

( private//extremely difficult to hack, mostly--see OOC note )
( long OOC note is loooong )

( Letter to Rue//owled//Viewable only to her )

Made it home safely. Mother and Father have both been very happy to see me and unusually pleasant to be around. Stratford's as lovely as ever--there's Christmas lights up. This whole town always feels like it's on the edge of a fairytale kingdom, but the way the lights look reflected in the river increases that feeling tenfold. I really do like it here, as small as it is.

I think I might go to the library tomorrow and pick up some books to read over break...

I wonder if Fakir's made it home yet...no, no, there's no reason to wonder about him.

((OOC: Strikes are gone.))

[private to Rue//unhackable]

Rue...I'd like to give you your present before I leave, if that's alright. I partially wanted to wait, but...well, I guess I sort of wanted to see your reaction! I could owl it to you as well, of course, if you'd prefer it that way--that's what I'm doing with everyone else's presents.

[/private]

I hope that everyone has a wonderful Christmas! Stay in touch through the journals, alright? I'll miss you all!

Okay, so, the semester's ending soon and I've got a lot of projects/finals due in the next few weeks that are going to drain my time. So...yes...hiatus. (I know, i know, I'm sorry.)

Full hiatus from today (11/23) until Tuesday (11/27)--I've got a paper and a project and...possibly one other assignment due that day, so I reeeeeally don't have the time to RP during this time period. ^^;; I know that the play is coming up, and I'll try to participate, but I can't really make any promises, I'm sorry. x.x;; Rue-mun and Mikage-mun can feel free to godmod him a little. (Tory, I think me and you discussed the main stuff that Mytho'll be doing during the play? Just in case I can't get on for that, feel free to work out stuff with the others and let 'em know...and of course, e-mail me if you need me and I'll try to hop on AIM for a bit or something.)
I'm purposefully staying off AIM for the most part during this time, but feel free to e-mail me at BrightBlueInk@hotmail.com if you need me for anything.

Semi hiatus from Nov 28th until December 8th. I'll be around and trying to post, but I'll probably still be slow/not on aim much/etc. I know I have a ton of plots to finish with with Mytho during this time period, so I'll be focusing on those, but any new plottage/logs not involved in plots that I've already agreed to/etc will have to be delayed. Again, feel free to e-mail me if you need anything. (There's a chance I might be missing some entries addressed to Mytho, so let me know, of course.)

Pumpkin came back...Or, at least, I think it's Pumpkin. She's (he's?) as sweet as ever...she's playing nicely with Jay, too. It's nice to have her back. Thank you, Jack--or whoever did it!

[Private//unhackable]

.............At least Pumpkin is some small comfort. Something to help me with this....problem.

I don't know what Kyro told Sengoku, but now he thinks we're...dating! I don't know what to do...I like Sengoku, but I don't LOVE him! He's handsome, I suppose, but...he's not...really my type at all. Plus I was hoping to keep my sexuality under wraps, and of course he announces it to everyone...

....
[/private]

[Private to Fakir//unhackable]

..........What do I do? Should I tell him, should I play along....I-I don't know what to do. Help! And...
[/private]

[Private to Fakir, Ahiru and Rue//unhackable]
Do any of you know how Sengoku got this crazy idea in the first place?! I know Kyro....Ahiru doesn't know about that... b-but I don't think he ever indicated he wanted to date him...
[/private]

((OOC: Icon shows as "Happy/Prince Charming" and his mood reads "Good" except for those that the entry is filtered to.
Yeah, Mytho's panicking now...It took a day to sink in, basically. IE, Haley was busy with work yesterday. Now he has noooo idea what to do...but at least he has a cute pumpkin-carrying sprite to keep him company?))

[Private//unhackable]

I'm growing tired of this little game...the pretending, the 'behaving' myself just so nobody will see through it...I'm tired of being controlled. I'm going to live how I please, regardless of anyone else's feelings!

...Perhaps...I'll show Mytho just how well he can control me.

[/private]

[private to Fakir]

Fakir...I...I need to talk to you. It's...I think he's getting stronger again...please, we need to talk.

[/private]

[Private to Rue]

Rue, darling...all is forgiven for our little tiffs before. I'd like to see you again~. You know who this is, I'm assuming...come see me!

[/private]

((OOC: Kyro has decided to have his day in the sun, so to speak...for the next 24 hours (or so), everyone who posts a viewable or hackable entry after this one will have Kyro jumping in and...being a pimp. No, I'm not joking, EVERYONE. XDDD;;; Unless, of course, you'd rather not have him hanging around, then just leave an OOC note for me or let me know otherwise. <3
Believe it or not, this DOES have some plot purpose, although it's mostly just for Kyro to get to know everyone. XDDD;;;))

So...um...those cute little pet things? That give out lollipops? ...How can I get one? All Jay does is croak. He never gives me sweets.

And what's this about monsters in the halls? Anything I should be concerned about? I haven't seen any yet, but Sengoku kept saying creepy pictures were after him. I suppose I'll keep my wand ready, just in case.

Never a dull moment at Hogwarts...

Thanks to everyone who talked to me the other day. I'm feeling better. Not completely...but better.

A lot of people seem to be talking about the Masquerade. I'm not...really sure who I'll be going with. I certainly won't have a date, so...I guess I'll just hang out with friends. I know I'm already planning on seeing Yuujiro there...Fakir? Rue? Ahiru? What are you guys planning...? Jio, what about you?

Fakir, are you going to dress up? Matching costumes would be fun. Or would that be too...weird? It seems like there's been a trend of people calling me 'Prince' lately, so I suppose I could go along with it and dress up as a prince.

[private]
Ah! With everything that's happened lately...I almost forgot about Rue's birthday! I hope her present gets here in time...

I've already sent a lot of Candygrams. With pranks for my closest friends, of course! I hope I don't forget anyone...it seems like I'm always forgetting somebody. I hope if I do forget nobody will be hurt.

((OOC: Strike's hackable to Rue, Fakir and Ahiru, unhackable for everyone else.))

[Private to Fakir//unhackable]

Fakir...Fakir I...I have a problem. Kyro took over yesterday and...I think he...he...did something.

Could you...meet me somewhere? Or we could talk over the journals, or anything, I just need to talk to you right away. Please.
[/private]

[Private to Sengoku//unhackable]
Um...about....last night? Um...

This is going to seem like a strange question, but what exactly did we do?

[/private]

[Private to Ahiru//unhackable]

About yesterday...I'm very sorry about running off like I did. Kyro was just...he hadn't come out for a while and I suppose he was...restless.
I meant what I said. About wanting to get to know you better. And I'm sorry I didn't take what you told me as well as I could've, I know you were telling me those things because you care about me...
I'm not feeling all that well today, so I might seem a little off, but don't take it personally, okay? It's not your fault.

[/private]

( Private//unhackable )

((OOC: So, Kyro came out yesterday after Mytho had an emotional talk with Ahiru and wrecked havoc doing what Kyro does best--manipulating people and flirting with everyone that came near him and breathed. The bad day ended with Sengoku and Kyro sleeping together, so...yeeeah, Mytho's upset. He's not exactly ashamed of being bi, but that wasn't exactly something he really wanted to get out either, considering how strict his parents are...and, well, he had personal reasons for wanting Kyro to not sleep around, as well. So between Ahiru telling him that they aren't anything more than friends and then Kyro's escapades, Mytho's reeeeeally, really emotionally distressed right about now.

That being said, even if Mytho didn't leave a message to one of your characters, feel free to have them comment here, particularly if they were one of the characters that interacted with Kyro yesterday. But I must stress that those filters are unhackable though, alright? Thank you all. <3
I'm so mean to my characters.))

[private//unhackable]

I stay inactive for a few weeks, and he signs us up for prefect? Sigh. He really should tell me these sorts of things before he decides to do them. And what's this about a play? He didn't tell me about any play, either.

But as much as I hate to admit it, the prefect thing was a good move. Our parents are sure to be pleased that we obtained such a position, particularly considering how my dear mother has been babbling about it since summer vacation. (I almost wish Mytho had done this a year ago, I would've heard about it a lot less if he had gone ahead and decided that.) And the play...overly dramatic, but it should be fun. Particularly since my Princess is my love interest in it...Mytho better keep his hands off her.

Hmph, well, I've been locked away for long enough. Thank goodness Mytho finally had some drama. Time for me to have some fun...
[/private]

Hm...it's the weekend, and I'm rather bored. Anyone free? I need to do something. A chess match, lively debate, even extra studying, anything. Any ideas? I've been good and completed all my homework, so don't scold me about that.

((OOC: So Mytho got upset over what happened with Ahiru and Kyro took control. XD Itachi/Hinata-mun, feel free to bug him~. Everyone else, feel free to chat it up as well, I'm trying to get Kyro more involved with Hogwarts at large.))

I'm...I'm a...prefect?

Me...? They think I'm really--?

Ah...um...thank you! I'll do my best to enforce the rules and be responsible--oh! But I'll still be fun, too! Don't worry, I'm not really overly bossy or--I like being everyone's friend, so think of me as someone that can help you too, okay?

...I-I-I'm going to go write Mami and Papa!

I'm in the play...Ahiru might be interested in me again...I'm a prefect...I think...maybe everything's going alright for me now. There's nothing wrong with that potion. Everything's fine.

((OOC: Mytho's parents--particularly his mother--have been stressing that they want Mytho to prove his 'leadership' skills, so he's thrilled about getting the position.
...So is Kyro. Because Kyro likes being bossy.
Oh, and if you're wondering "Mami" and "Papa" is a more German, informal way of saying "Mother" and "Father". Mytho's family immigrated from Germany a few generations ago, so there's a few words and phrases he feels comfortable using in German. ...He's pretty used to being British, though. Although I'm sure his English sounds rather American. XD;;
Edit: Forgot to mention--the strike's easily hackable, except the small text, which is very difficult.))

Fakir and I are going to Hogsmede today...I can't wait to go to Honeydukes! I've been running a little low on candy. I promised Fakir I wouldn't have too many, and I won't, really. I'll just get enough to have a little everyday, really!

It'll be nice to hang out with Fakir. We haven't had a whole lot of time with just the two of us...not that I mind being out with other people! But it'll be nice. With all of the...issues we've had lately, it's nice to just hang out together...just to clear the air.

I think I'm going to get ready and go now...see you all there!

((OOC: This entry will be a comment-spam for Fakir and Mytho, and through the journals for everyone else, if that's OK. ...And forgive me for the title, couldn't resist. XD))
Fakir and Mytho are going on an outing at Hogsmede! Feel free to say your character saw Mytho and stopped to say hello for a bit--Mytho probably would just want to stick with Fakir by himself (for the reasons he mentioned in the strike), but he'd probably at least stop and say hello to his other friends and acquaintances.

Also--there's going to be a scene in the comment spam where Mytho hugs Fakir. Feel free to have your characters see this, because it will be in public, and Mytho will be very enthusiastic, and it'd be a shame for nobody to see. XDDD))
