[ Back from his second mission in the early evening of today and what has he learned...? ... Well, a few things, actually. And it's because of those few things he's learned that this comes in three major sections: ]

[ Voice ]

So, tell me here- there's no freakin' way that most people can talk to trees, right?

[ Because of course they can't if Silver is a weird tree-person than that is him being weird. Okay. Ok. But after that... the fight with the bigger Shift Hunter the other day has made him realize that perhaps he needs to refine himself a little more. In that respect, he misses Logan. Even if the guy was exacting and probably a little crazy (hell, he liked to train in the morning) it still stood out to him. Logan. Shura. He's had a lot of crazy mentors, so he thinks about how to word this before... ]

'N uh. Is there anyone out there who's good at training people with super powers? [ He finds it a little weird to call what he's got super powers, but it's close enough ] Or special abilities, stuff like that.

[ And then finally... ]

[ Action ]

[ Skarmy (the Skarmory) did not go on the mission with them because Rin is not (and in her mind will never be) her trainer. She's in trainer limbo, if you will. So she hung out at the house got to know some of the people and pokémon there no doubt, but she still was quite frustrated to not have Rin there as a physical reminder of the trainer she didn't have right now. Silver too, actually.

Which is why when Rin comes back, she immediately picks a fight with him as soon as he puts on his pajamas. Rin responds in kind, transforming into his full demon form to match her (while still in his pajamas). While the sword is discarded early on, this does mean that there's a whirling ball of blue fire punching and kicking at a seven or eight foot tall bird made of metal shooting lasers and launching spikes at him, among other things. While the two are play-fighting the both of them are a bit hot tempered and the both of them are quite strong, so it's possible there will be property damage as they leap/fly all over the area around the Flame Building and House 11.

Feel free to bare witness or see an empty house get partially blown up or something else like that. ]

[ Voice ]

Where's Pilouette? [ But he knows. He suspects, at least. He didn't see her when he watched everyone come in. He was then reminded people died, and today that people are coming back. But still not her - he hasn't seen her and he doesn't know. He sounds somewhat lost, he sounds choked up. He half wants to just leave the journal behind and...

Precis... ] I want to- ... Wait, what was that!

[ And then it cuts off- ]

[ Action ]

[ Because his house just vanished. So did the pool There's just a grassy field with a tree in the middle of it. Shiemi was out somewhere and now it's just him and Skarmy, Shiemi's seven foot tall murderbird of steel. Her and Rin loo confused at each other. And then Skarmy squawks at him before making to fly off. Rin ends up flipping her the bird before going to collect Midori the turtle and go off to look all over down for where his house just vanished to ]

[ Voice (SOME NEBULOUS DAY PROBABLY DAY 11 (APRIL 19th)) ]

'Ey! Anyone got any quests to be done... or wanna join me on quests? I've been feelin' like I should go on an adventure lately, and it'll be easier and more fun with more people.

[ Action (Day 11 (April 19th) -> Day 13 (April 21st), technically, but he'll also have been at this for Day 9 (april 17th) -> Day 10 (April 18th) too probably. Maybe. If anyone wants.) ]

[ And after that, Rin will be on his quest! Or well, he will be wearing a silly knight hat and looking around for some things he can nobly embark on, be it RPG style or fairy tale style. Really, he doesn't have a story for himself yet. (so basically feel free to tag in with anything and everything)

But his horoscopes, which he's been getting since the start of the event, do not seem to bode well today.
• The only thing to fear is fear itself.
• The termites in your skull are making more noise than ever this week.
• You will inadvertantly shoplift several times this week. (which he will, by the way - both in the shops and wandering into people's homes like a true RPG protagonist to look into their vases and drawers and stuff so feel free to do that too)
• Your socks don't match.

Well the last one is definitely true at least. But the first two are unsettling to him, particularly given how jumpy he's started to become about his own powers... (which is leading up to some log I'll put up in a few days this)

Bonus!: What he was up to last week which I didn't get up until now! Which is why it's linked! I might edit in a comment on the second log if I feel inspired but probably not! ]

[Voice]

[A drawn out yawn before...] What did I even miss... [Rin is up now, for the first time in... a while. He'd been sleeping a lot before then with intermittent periods of being awake for short hours. And now, for once, he doesn't want to sleep more. Not the lead because he's really hungry, having not really eaten for the past three days... or seen Shiemi or Skarmy in the house. Or anything. Really, the thing which immediately stood out when he finally got up and wasn't sleeping was that someone (probably Eleanor) had put a huge stack of homework by his bad.

That said, he's eating cereal now, and isn't feeling the need to nod off again despite being up almost an hour (he even showered) which is why he's using his journal]

Sorry, uh, work 'n school people and Wolverine. My bad - I guess I got really sick or something. Shiemi was takin' care of me most of the time too so sorry to any of her friends. [A pause as he chews his cereal and...] Who wants to do... anything? I've actually been sleeping way too much and I wanna stretch my legs.

[ And anyone can tell him what he missed, win-win.

Which of course means there's sidebar action as he goes to Seventh Heaven, next door, the Dome, the Item Shop and other assorted places to see what's what.]

[Voice]

Hey, just checkin', but no one's seen that big wolf in forever, right? I haven't been smelling her, anyway... And uh... [HOW DOES HE PUT THIS...] If there's any uh, guys! Who want to go out and cut wood, I wouldn't uh- mind! The company!

[Of doing big MANLY wood cutting things. ...He realized he doesn't have a lot of guy friends right now, hence the specificity, but it might not be clear from how he puts it.]

[Action]

[...and true to his word, Rin takes time off from both his work and his training today to go into the words and try to hack down some firewood with an ax he found at the Item Shop. He's sort of always wanted to try this, and seeing as how they're having a bonfire soon, it might be just be the perfect time! So there's a guy with a tail and a sword on the ground near him who is trying to hack up some firewood at the forest's edge with no real idea of which sorts of trees or what sort of timber is best for this.

He also has a wagon to put it in. Free free to join, question, correct, evade a falling tree, etc]
