Bonus Chapter
From the online diaries of the cast of Spiral.

Dearest diary,

I find myself in a spot of activity lately, so much hustle and bustle to be had by those tall pink things. However I do not complain of or beget my fate! Oh there is so much energy going around why I could just suck it up into my shell and keep it there for safekeeping! I've made many a new friend, why just the other day I met the most pleasant of lads and his personality is so chipper I've invited him to afternoon tea.

I did note he has a very serious caretaker, I must remember to inform Sora that his companion, Riku's demure attitude could stand to improvement. He must be ghastly company indeed, no matter what Sora may say! I also managed to make the acquaintance of another fellow by the name of Seifer Almasy, truly he is of the entertaining sort. Doesn't seem to like it when I cling to his leg so I have taking to sitting on his shoulder but dear me, he doesn't enjoy that either!

Honestly, there is only so much a turtle can do to accomadate a sulky host. Perhaps he would enjoy a present? I do have a lovely box of crickets, excellently preserved that I could present to him, I believe I shall do that.

Oh only think how happy Mr. Kusobata will be when Mr. Almasy and I have become good friends, I cannot wait to see the looks on their faces!

Also, I have written to some relatives of mine, I am sure that they would enjoy this company as much as I would. Although the ghost postal service appears to be out of commision for the time being, something about a carrier or two being exorcised for hanging around the rafters in a church. Silly things.

Yrs Trly,
Mobyous Dik.
The Fall of 2008.

April 21, 2008.

What the fuck? I'm failing Social? How the fuck do I fail Social? That whore's on crack and she hates me, I know it! Ah whatever she can go to hell. So what if I've skipped one... two... twenty-four classes? ... that's lame.

Started reading a new series by Iris Johansen, fucking sweet. Murders, gruesome death and gory detail make it the perfect thriller novel, and even better, plenty of sex. She's my new hero and I've already collected all of her books, I'm still taken by "The Killing Game," one of her earlier books. Being able to talk to ghosts must be a pretty sweet deal.

Well then again I might change my opinion on that if that stupid turtle who's now living in MY bathroom doesn't get the fuck out, christ.

And I swear if that girl looks weirdly at me again for purchasing smut novels, I'm going to take that pretty name tag and stab her eyes out. Also ran across a book called "Fairy Tales: Traditional Stories retold for Gay Men." It is utter bullshit. I am going to find the author and kick his ass for writing this crap, its got nothing on gays at all. Apparently the Beast in "Beauty in the Beast" now lives in an apartment building suite with a magical greenhouse and is a dominatrix. HAHAHA yeah-no.

Speaking of book, my life's become a cheap imitation of X-Men Evolution coupled with Power Rangers. I'm waiting to see some stupid catch phrases from anyone, but considering this is an online journal open to public, I'm not gonna talk about that.

My love life still stinks, L's not really responding and I'm thinking I need to push his ass onto a bed and show him why I'm meant to dominate it (which I so totally am.) Also figured out why he's always looking like he was pushed into a thrasher and someone turned it on high. Maybe I should brush up on my doctor skills so I can have an excuse to touch him. I am totally licking my lips here. Hahaha... Hmm... role-play, I always thought the doctor and patient schtick was outdated but it suddenly has a lot of merit.

Speaking of which, Y said she'd give me his number if I forgave her for leaving me to die. Done and done, that girl is after my own heart, I swear. Hey look, Scooby-Doo's on.

Hyperion out!

Diary Entry 29.

Two is such... such... A JERK! He can go to hell for all I care!! Well... no... I don't want him to go to hell... DAAH, WHY IS HE SO SEXY!? Nngh... I don't wanna tell him I think he's cute because I know there's no way in hell he's gay, and heck even if he was there are so many better people than me so he wouldn't even have to choose me... this sucks.

Some guy came onto me today, friend of you-know-who, he was kind of cute I guess but I couldn't like him at all, shit why do I have to be so hung up on one guy!? S'not fair! I'm a healthy teenaged boy! I need sex! DX Roxas- I mean Thirteen (m'not supposed to say the real names, Xemmy- I mean One might kick my butt!) is giving me weird looks as I write this, poor kid wouldn't understand. I swear he's asexual!

Twelve came back really badly injured today, Four is still looking after her as I write this. Four, by the way, is a fucking loser. He totally ditched me to try and grab all the glory and look what happened! We failed the mission and I got yelled at! Well... anyway I'm really worried about Larxy- I mean Twelve. She was really beat up, but I guess she's okay, she patted me on the head as she passed by to the infirmary and said it'd be fine. I was so worried I didn't even complain that she'd messed up my hair.

Oh, we have a new guy, I'm gonna call him V! He's so dark and gloomy, but he's a really nice guy! I took him out shopping earlier and he didn't complain at all or even raise an eyebrow when I bought my manga. He's kinda hot too... maybe this is the end of the dreaded Two-Complex!? -does a little cheer-

I offered to let him read my Loveless manga but he opted out, maybe he doesn't like yaoi?

Ack! Thirteen's coming this way, need to close the window before he sees the asexual comment!

Demykins awaaaay!

Log 01.

... why did they give me a diary to keep?

V. Valentine.

Subject: What a day...

After a four hour debriefing to "The One" I finally managed to get back to my dorm room and guess what? My moronic roommate is nowhere to be found. (And to any of you fuckers who leave comments and say I'm obsessed with my roommate, go fuck yourselves.) I spent half an hour trying to find the guy and found out he'd been talking with the new guys who just moved in.

Now he won't stop yakking about this guy name Moby, but I'm pretty damned sure those aren't the names of our neighbors, so what the hell? Goddamn bodyguarding sucks.

... though to be honest it hasn't been so bad in the last couple of months. It's weird but... he kind of grows on you.

"The Artist" came into town today by train and she and "The Princess" proceeded to beat my ass after reporting to "The One" for not being there to pick her up as well. Though to be fair it was mostly "The Princess" who beat me, no one should be able to pound your head for that long without some kind of repercussion. A sprain or a spider down the back of her dress would've been perfect.

Ugh, okay I admit I'm being sulky. My chest is one big hurt after being hit by a column of pressurized water with the force of a fire hose point blank. Goddamn water using monkey. That and I managed to lose both targets, all this combined does not make a happy Shadow.

Even better, tomorrow my bodyguarding duty triples. HAHA, LOVE YOU FEARLESS LEADER.

Not.

I'm going to sleep.

Signing off,

"The Shadow."

Entry Date???
Entry Title???
Tags???

DiZ has commisioned me and my brother for a job. Wonder what he has in store for us this time. Pay is huge, must mean it's a dangerous job, maybe the war is finally picking up.

About time.

Ugh, the stupid dreck needs to shut up, he and his girlfriend are always so goddamn lovey dovey. Signing off, going to unplug the damn phone chord and tell the dreck to go to sleep.

... he'll probably start whining and maybe even cry, maybe I won't.

A. the Bloody.

Author's notes:

1. The "L" and "Y" in Seifer's journal refer to Leon and Yuffie respectively. Some people have issues with their real names being put online and Seifer has taken this into consideration.

2. Hyperion is the name of Seifer's gunblade in Final Fantasy 8, I thought it fitting he would take that as his username or online alias.

3. The "V" in Demyx's journal refers to Vincent.

4. V. Valentine is also in reference to Vincent.

5. "The One" is DiZ. "The Artist" is Namine. "The Princess" is Kairi. "The Shadow" is Riku. More aliases in hopes of protecting real names.

6. "A. the Bloody." is a code name for someone appearing in future chapters. His character comes from a Namco game and his title is actually -insert name- the Bloody. (Yes, A is the first letter of his name.) This is the only clue, as well as another one found in his journal post that you will get to who he is. If you can find out who he is, private message me the answer and I will either A) Insert a character you have yet to see in the story at your request into the plot, B) Take a suggestion for a pairing that has not yet been mentioned in the pairing section of every chapter (note I may not use the suggestion if it doesn't coincide with the plot), or C) Answer one question about the plot or story as a whole (but most of these answers will be vague.)

A final hint: Yuri Lowenthal.

Good luck. 8D
