*Gives cookies to all who reviewed* I'm surprised this still has so many
readers after so long! More than ever, even! Thanks, people!
Well, for the most part, Kent's entry was well-liked, and several people suggested having other write in Sain's journal as well... now that the option is open, who knows what our poor emerald cavalier will find written in his journal? *cackles evilly*
Also, several seem to want me to continue from Hector's instead of Eliwood's. So I say: sure, what the hell! It'll be fun! (even though I'm somewhat less familiar with Hector's tale) I can guarantee that everyone will show up at some point, though. Yes, even Wallace and Harken, and I say that because I always get Geitz and Karel. The more, the funnier!
Zephyr: Review response time!
Shinobi Demoness: Hmmm... that idea for fixing the Nils issue may be used at some point, especially if he annoys Karel when that idiot finally shows up. *evil grin* And you should try using Sain's joke that way! Even if it doesn't work, the results could be quite amusing.
Link015: I know, I took too long... ^__^;;; *whacks Farina* Nobody asked you.
Cathy Barton: It would be entirely unsurprising if he actually had one. And I just loved that prank the instant I came up with it. Had to use it somewhere!
Kevin C: As stated above, it won't necessarily be Kent, but other people will be writing in it.... *whacks your muses* (in the order they spoke in) you're funny when angry, you're just a pain, and you've said that already; about 5 billion times.
gentelness28: Really? Awww... I'm touched! *smile*
Kiyoko-chan: Yes, Lucius is for sure... and I'm glad at least one person caught the reference to Kate's myrmidons!
Songwind: You think I have his personality down pat? I thought he was taking on a bit much of my own personality (aka too cynical) but hearing that just makes me happy!
Lord-Pisces: Duct tape is just great. I'm sorry you didn't like Kent's rant, but... *shrug* Hey, not everyone likes the same stuff. Don't worry, no offense taken!
Zero84: Kent DOES rock! And he's fun to pick on, too.
paladin2007: Everybody seems to like that prank! No need to be zombified anymore, here's another chapter!
DarkLink313: Of COURSE you can expect more! *points* Just scroll down and see.
Rednal29: Oh, believe me; I'm going to have lots of fun with Farina and Nino. *evil grin* You think this is one of the funniest stories out there? Thanks! Here, have an extra cookie!
Sixclaws: Here's the continuation!
Ed, the Master Tactician: On compare with the diary of Erk?! Truly high praise! And your muses are forgiven, as it seems to be their job to annoy the hell out of their respective authors...
Zephyr: Wow, so many reviews, and so quickly, too!
Serra: Mmmph!
Balm: One trussed-up and drenched Serra with sliced pigtails, ready to be served with duct tape over her mouth!
And that, my readers, is what happened to her.
Flash: bladegryphon's brother pointed out that there are several Kent/Lyn things in here. As much as some people like that pairing, it won't be in here. The references are simply used to annoy the hell out of Kent. Which is always fun. ^___^
*points at Flash* What he said. Now, on with the story!
* * * * * * *

Day 1 * Weather: good enough
I know, I know. It's hardly day one anymore. But you can't expect me to remember everything. Especially when a certain red-haired fellow hangs onto this damn thing for almost a whole year. Stupid Kent... Hmm, looks like he was rather annoyed with what I'd written previously. Not that I really care, this being mine, and not his. Anyway, I've decided to just number the days I'm writing on....
Not much happened during the past year, aside from that one party. Ah, Kent will kill me if he sees this, and trust me, that would be a BAD thing! How will I be able to romance ladies if I'm dead?
Basically, Kent had one too many glasses of wine (don't look at me like that! I was drinking responsibly... that time, at least...) and got into a rather... embarrassing situation. In his opinion. Now if he'd actually lighten up for once, he'd be able to look back on that and laugh, instead of becoming the demon tomato (turning redder than his armor, --- yes, that is possible--- and yelling at whoever mentioned the incident)
He lost his balance slightly, and reached out to lean against the wall to steady himself... giving Lady Lyndis an accidental kiss in the process. Ah, I'm so jealous. She even helped him back to his room afterwards! I would have just gotten a slap from her, and Kent (were he sober) would have had to drag me back to mine. I feel so unloved...
Excuse me while I go into town and find a barmaid to change that.
*
Day 2 * Weather: sunny, but the day sure is turning out badly.
Fun-fun land, here we (Lyn, Wil, Florina, Kent and I) are... otherwise known as Caelin when taken over by a bunch of idiots who have a ballista. And getting chased out of your own castle just takes the cake... especially when the enemy came in and ate the one the cooks had spent all night preparing! I miss it already...
So I saw a ballista bolt arc overhead, heard this maiden shriek, and (naturally) go to save her. And almost wish I hadn't two seconds later. If you're thinking pink, staves, and extremely annoying, then you're right. It was Serra. I rode in the other direction, leaving Erk to be the one to deal with her complaining about "Why would anyone want to hit ME?! I'm positively angelic! I'd never harm a fly!" Sure, you wouldn't. You'd just burst it's eardrums by squealing. If flies have eardrums. Sometimes I pity Erk for getting stuck with her, but hey, it keeps the rest of us relatively safe from that 'Serra'ted tongue of hers.
Dork-ass is back, and he's brought his even stupider friend Bartre. I swear, their names should be switched. Matthew's also back; unfortunately for me... apparently he recruited this Sacaean guy, but I couldn't catch his name. Though he's obviously a myrmidon. The two lords in charge are Hector and Eliwood (Ostian and Pheraean, respectively).
Let's see... there's also two old geezers, Marcus and Oswin, someone who looks kind of like I would if I took my headband off, which would be Lowen... scratch the earlier comment. There are three old geezers. I forgot about Merlinus.
The other five are all ladies, though I've only met three as of now. The two lovely flowers, troubadour and archer, are the gorgeous Rebecca and Priscilla. Laura's here too, and was directing the battle plan. You see, all of us met up in front of Castle Caelin. Made introductions, laughed at the armor-coated fool sitting outside the castle... I swear, he's rooted to the spot or something. He didn't even move one step forward when Serra taunted him just out of a javelin's range. I have to admit, his willpower is respectable.
*
Day 3 * Weather: How am I supposed to know?! We're inside again! .... but it was decent earlier
Florina kicked Bauker's ass when he fell asleep last night... okay, not literally, but it makes a funny image. And... Oh, please no... TWO tacticians?! ... Yep, there's two of them alright... Laura, who is Eliwood's, and then there's Hector's tactician; Katrin. A bit nastier and far more cynical than Laura ever was. Very dry sense of humor, too. Still haven't met the last woman yet, though I saw an old hag in Merlinus' tent a little while ago... dear Elimine, I hope that's not her.
Anyway, during today's battle, Kent and I had to stay outside at first to kick the reinforcements around. Nearly got OUR asses kicked in the process, and would have quite royally if Laura hadn't sent Rebecca and Erk back to us when she did. We finally got inside, about halfway to the "throne room" of sorts before the battle was over.
Problem with being tent guard is missing the funny stuff that happens in mid-battle. I had to hear it from Matthew (grr) and Florina. Some archer had aimed and fired at Katrin, and Hector grabbed her upper arm to try to drag her out of the way. Not only did she stay in place, the arrow missed her by a mile. To make things funnier, she just gave Hector a glare with some amusement mixed in, flexed her bicep, and opened his hand. Let me remind you, Hector's hands are in no way small. Oh, I WISH I'd been there to see it! He looks to be a bit afraid of her now.
I think I know who the fifth lady is now... I could swear I saw a blonde chick complaining about her hair on the way out.
* * * * * * *
Hannah: Dagnabbit, put me in here already! I want my pretties!
Skan: *eats Hannah* Yucky. Old lady taste damn horrible.
*bashes head against wall* Arg, nooooooooooooo!!! Not MAY next!!!
Balm: We all know what that means, unfortunately...
Flash: A potential for a long wait...
Sap: Well, damn. *grumbles*
Zephyr: May is crazy schedule central, with three performances and a bunch of tests all in the same week, and rehearsals and studying leading up to that.
Well, they summed it up pretty well. Sorry, but I really don't know when the next update will be. There MIGHT be another during April, but I highly doubt that... so the next update will likely not be until late May, around or after the 25th depending on how burned out I am. I'm sorry, but it really can't be helped! *hides from angry/impatient readers*
Balm: *puts out a plate of cookies labeled "for reviewers to munch on while waiting for the next chapter"*
Zephyr: Review, please! You get cookies to tide you over that way, and it will make bladegryphon very happy while she struggles to maintain her sanity for the next few weeks!
