[Enough! Enough is enough! There's just too much sadness going around Luceti right now and it doesn't seem to be stopping anytime soon. Selphie feels like she has to do something about it. She doesn't trust her voice right now to say much of anything because the loses have gotten to her as well. Instead, she'll take to the paper in a similar way she did for Archie the other day.

First things, a good three-quarters in taken up solely by brightly coloured pictures. Trains, Sailboats, those red velvet cupcakes they have at the bakery, anything and everything that comes to mind. Then, she pulls out a pen and her bubbly looking penmanship flows over the page.]

I know that we've all been through a lot and we have reasons to hate this place but think about it this way. If we hadn't been brought to Luceti, we wouldn't have met each other. We wouldn't have learned the things that we've learned and we never would've known that our spirit can't be broken no matter what they do to us. It might shake us all up and have us wanting to give up but we can't do that.

As long as we're grateful for the friendships we've forged and the things we've all learned from each other, the Malnosso can never break us. So tell me guys, what's something that you've learned from another person while in Luceti that you would have never learned at home? For example, Sanji taught me how to cook and Giles introduced me to Romeo and Juliet.

So come on! Don't be shy!

I learned how to contact the Filial spirits thanks to Helios. I don't think I would have ever gotten anywhere without his help. I've also learned different fighting styles from various people. Jitte from Smoker, archery from Link, swordfighting from Giles. Then there's also how to relax a bit and enjoy the simple things. Thanks, Grune.

It's also really nice seeing everyone... work together. It feels like a nice community. It's not always perfect, things happen, but it's a nice community and it's really nice.

...I've also learned how to make a really good pot of tea.

You know, you say some very wise things, Selphie.

Tea. I think it's beyond me.

[She burns it every time she tries.]

Filial magic? I learned a lot at the school last year. The magic classes are open now so I've been attending those lately. You should go sometime, Ginia!

I try, I try.

I learned from a nice Englishman.

I've been meaning to go to them. Those and the world-sharing class. Maybe tomorrow. I've had my week for things to settle.

I think I'll leave the tea making to the more seasoned professionals.

Maybe I'll see you there sometime.

I've learned some very interesting tricks from Hyt, I've finally seen Kain happy with someone, I've spent more than a few days with my brother...

[The full list would be rather long.]

I'll keep an eye out for you.

Have any pointers to pass along?

Woohoo!

That depends on which spirit you're trying to contact. I've only had luck with Faeren and Nala.

I was thinking Faeren next. Giles is helping me with Kipinn.

[Cecil, here's a good sign that everything isn't alright by the way. Selphie never writes an entry in the journal.]

Speaking of Golbez... I haven't heard from him lately.

Oh! Faeren's one of the easier ones! When I began patrolling more often in the woods, I started hearing her voice more often. And it's not really the time of year for it but gardening helps too.

But my thumbs aren't exactly green so... that didn't really help a whole lot.

So being outside, got it.

Can I ask what you can do?

Gardening wise? I more or less did the watering.

Sorry, I meant with Faeren. Any special spells or anything? I guess I'm trying to get ideas.

[Ah, but he's not quite certain if it's a clue to her mood or a side effect of the drawings yet.]

I've not seen him since the start of that last experiment. Perhaps he became something too embarrassing to show?

...I knew that, honest!

Well, her magic is earth based and I've cracked the earth open a couple of times using her magic so there is that.

Really? What'd they turn him into?

I've no idea, but if he feels the same as Kain about it...

Is he brooding himself into a pit too?

-I learned a bit more about cats from Foot. Generally, I learned that I give them far too little credit. For cats.

-I've learned about being there for people and just [...] being friends from Grune.

-From Okita, I learned that there's nothing wrong with having a life. And I learned how to talk to people. That's a skill that's seen me through a very great deal.

-Jilly taught me just how therapeutic working with clay can be. I kept myself occupied with it, while I was blind.

-Ami and I have been building a boat more or less since day one.

-Ginia, with the patience of a saint, has taken it upon herself to teach me how to dance.

-And from Buffy I learned what can be changed and what can't.

I could go on, but, well, I think that makes my point.

Luceti has been good for me, in that regard.

Cracking the earth open... something to keep in mind.

Comes in handy when dealing with Blue Dragons in the Battle Dome.

Man, I wish someone had given me clay when I was blind...

Blue Dragons?
