001 [video/action]
[Hello Luceti, you are greeted today with...an upside-down view for this person's entry. At first it might seem like the person holding the book is holding it wrong, but it'll become quickly apparent that he is holding it the right way, it's him that's upside down, possibly hanging from a tree as he examines the journal.]
So this thing actually works, and you guys can see and hear me, right? [A slight shake of the book, as if to confirm it.] Geez, this makes some of the books at home seem lame by comparison...
But I gotta say, I wasn't expecting to suddenly find myself here, and to think that there's actually people here too. Heh...I guess this is where everyone's been hiding out this whole time, huh? Not like it really matters anymore, this place already seems somewhat better than the last place I was at...
[There's a slight pause before he speaks again.] Actually, there is something I want to know. Have any of you seen a guy? About this tall [makes a gesture to try indicating the height, albeit somewhat inaccurate from where he's hanging upside-down], wears a locket, and kind of cries a lot? Named "Seto"? It's important that I know if he's here or not. If he is, great, tell me where he is, and if not, then don't bother worrying about it.
[And without much further preamble, he ends it there to wait for replies. But it's also entirely possible to spot him while you're out and about as well...]

It isn't that Seto has caused trouble himself, at least not in the way that Crow would cause trouble and mischief. More in the way that he just got himself into bad and troubling situations that caused himself pain and later placed burdens on others.
Running off alone, getting ambushed, getting one of his wings torn off as a result, getting deathly ill, fighting alone, dying, losing his vision for what seemed like so long...
So yes. In a way, he's gotten himself into plenty of trouble. He doesn't really want to tell Crow about it either. His best friend just got here and he doesn't want to just come out and say all of that. But he doesn't want to lie to Crow either.
Lying is something he dislikes. If a person is to trust him, believe in him and he places his own trust in them, then he must be honest. He can't lie and vise versa. But... maybe just waiting until later to tell him would be okay. Stall a little] I've... gotten into some trouble. But I'll tell you about it when you're all settled in. It's kind of a long story.
[action]
...Then again, it's probably not that bad. As far as he knows, Seto's definition of "trouble" could be accidentally tripping somebody on your way to the park rather than pushing them off a ferris wheel or something. That shoulder-poke before turns into a more reassuring pat on the shoulder.]
Well, it's not like I'll be goin' anywhere anytime soon, so you'll have to be sure to tell us all about it sometime, got it?
[action]
But he can't lie. He won't lie. Just stall.
He smiles at the pat though and nods] Don't worry, I'll definitely tell you about it. [A pause] C'mon, I'll show you where I live. We have some extra bedrooms so you're staying with us. [YEAH HE ISN'T TAKING NO FOR AN ANSWER ON THIS ONE]
[action]
Oh yeah? Who else is with you? [A slight pause--oh, he almost forgot to ask...] Oh, did you ever find that girl you were looking for? The one with the silver hair?
[action]
No... I never found her. At least, I hadn't found her yet before I was brought here. Before I came here I was with you and... [Hesitating again. Does Crow know what happens to him?] What do you remember last? Before coming here.
[action]
...Talking to you, when my batteries were running out. [awk...ward.........]
[action]
That's the last thing I remember too. Except you had just... [died. He bites his tongue though and doesn't say that last word. Instead, he shakes his head, grabs Crow's hand and starts to pull him in the direction he came from earlier.]
That doesn't matter anymore. The Malnosso gave you a new battery and everything will be all right now. You'll live along with me.
[action]
...Well, it doesn't take a genius to figure out what Seto might have been about to say.]
Yeah, I noticed--at least that's one good thing about this place, plus catching up with you again. [And the wings, can't forget the cool-looking wings. He looks almost surprised though when Seto mentions him living with the other...and then he laughs, a little.]
Heh, you say that as if I don't get any choice in the matter. [Which he does 'cause he is Crow and he can go wherever he wants. (...But let's face it, where else was he going to stay that wasn't closer to where his best friend lives anyway...)]
[action]
just don't suggest jumping off a building and to try and fly with them like last time you were here]If I gave you the choice, what would you choose? [He doesn't want to force Crow to live with him if he truly doesn't want to but he doesn't want to be apart from his best friend. Not again.]
[action]
Good idea Seto, that'll be our next post.]Well... [He gives a momentary pause as if seriously thinking about it before he responds.] Depends on what your place is like--if it's too lame, we'll just have to find somewhere cooler.
[Yes, we as in possibly you too, because our best friend shouldn't be living in boring places either. :|b]
[action]
Well are we doing false alarm death or jump off a building post firstHe has to chuckle at that.] I promise you'll like it there. You can have your own room too! We'll fill it with things you like.
[action]
uh possibly the latter before anyone gets the chance to tell him that the wings don't actually work that way???]Oh yeah? What kind of cool stuff does this place have anyway? [TELL US ABOUT ALL THE SHINY THINGS THAT MIGHT BE HERE FOR THE TAKING...]
[action] I ALWAYS PICK THE WRONG ICON BY ACCIDENT WHEN TRYING TO GET THIS ONE
Sounds like a plan]There's a lot of cool stuff here! After you've gotten settled in I'll take you to the item shop and you can pick out whatever you want. I even have "Pirate Isle" here.
[He smiles extra big on that one. Your best friend kept your book for you]
[action] lol wow A+ there buddy
[
And not, you know, on the floor in the amusement park where we previously kept our copy of it][action] hush
[Well he let Mia borrow it once but she kept it safe because she knew how important it was to him]
[action]
[action]
See? It's never left my locket.
[action]
Well then, looks like I trusted it to the right person!
[action]
What is with people and messing up his already messy hair? But he laughs anyways, using his free hand to pat his hair back down so it looks... decent. Because decent is the most you can get with his hair.]
Mm, you did. [And he's glad he entrusted it to him. He puts the ring back in his locket now so he doesn't accidently drop it or anything]
[action]
you're cute andit's fun to mess with your hair, that's why people do it. Trying to pat your hair back down just makes us want to mess with it again...which he does once more, just because, before finally moving his hand away.]So what kind of people have you been hanging around with here? Any of 'em actually worth talking to? [TELL US ABOUT ALL YOUR FRIENDS...]
[action]
Yeah, I think so! I've made a lot of friends here but I live with Kazuma, Tao and Firo so you can talk to them first. Kazuma's kinda quiet but he's really nice and likes to read. Tao is like a cat...person, I think. She wears a mask so you can't see her face but she says "meow" a lot and even has cat ears! [Gesturing to the top of his head where cat ears would be] And Firo worries about me a lot but he's really cool and can fight really well with a knife.
[action]
I think those were some of the people that were talking on this book earlier. [Kazuma is easy to poke fun of, Tao is kind of weird, and Firo...] That Firo guy doesn't really seem that cool--'sides, he wouldn't tell us where we could find you on here at first, so he was definitely no help at all...
[Annoying jerk...no that is not hypocritical to think what are you talking about.]
[action]
I guess that isn't too surprising. He doesn't really like it when people he doesn't know call out for me... but he really is cool! I promise.
[action]
But I bet he's not as cool as me though, right?
[action]
Right. You're the coolest, Crow.
