For those who had to play the role of the opposite gender, did you transform too or just cross-dress?

Because for some reason, I got turned into a girl when I had to play Clarabelle in a scene.

[That and work with Adachi in said scene, but he won't wrote that just yet. Only when he asked and/or Adachi replies.]

Looks like you guys had some fun while I was gone, but even after hunting down a few daemons back in my world, nothing beats the enemies that pop around this place.

Which brings me to the main point of this: anyone interested in taking down that two-headed troll?

[Insert dumb, very ugly scribble of said troll.]

Tried to take it down on my own, but that thing is a lot tougher than it looks. Even I have to admit that I'm not strong enough as I am right now. [Combination of troll being a big high level boss and the fact that he has to work with his Aspect skills and unable to utilize all of his usual artes.] Not sure if anyone could take it down on their own, but I'd sure as hell like to watch and fight whoever does.

I'll be taking another go at it to figure out more of its weaknesses, but I won't deny anyone who wants to take a crack it themselves with me. I'm less interested in the money, so we can figure out how to split the rewards later.

I'll also be working on the other hunts, so if anyone needs help with those, I'll gladly lend my sword.

IT'S RECENTLY COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT AN EMBARRASSINGLY HIGH NUMBER OF PEOPLE TRAPPED IN THIS SAD EXCUSE OF A WIGGLER TALE SEEM TO BE STRUGGLING WITH A VERY IMPORTANT ASPECT OF CIVILIZED LIVING.
WHETHER IT BE LAYING PROSTRATE ACROSS THESE PAGES WITH DESPERATE WORDS PLEADING FOR GUIDANCE OR BECAUSE A SCENE DICTATES IT TO BE SO IN ORDER TO FIX WHATEVER STORY WE'RE STUCK FIXING, THE LACK OF BASIC KNOWLEDGE ON THIS AREA IS HONESTLY PRETTY ASTOUNDING, GIVEN THAT THE ENTIRE REASON FOR OUR BEING HERE IS TO FIX *STORIES*.
YOU KNOW, THE THINGS YOU READ AND HAVE PREDICTABLE PLOT LINES AND END IN EITHER DEATH, MUTILATION, OR POSSIBLY THE FULFILLMENT OF ONE'S HOPES AND DREAMS IN ORDER TO FULFILL A READER'S OWN LACK OF FULFILLMENT IN THEIR OWN SAD EXISTENCE?
I'M TALKING, OF COURSE, ABOUT ROMANCE.
ROMANCE IS *FUNDAMENTAL* TO THESE KINDS OF STORIES, AND YET SO MANY OF YOU IDIOTS CAN'T SEEM TO GRASP THE BASIC CONCEPT OF ASKING SOMEONE OUT ON A DATE OR EVEN SORTING OUT YOUR OWN FEELINGS ON THE MATTER.
IT'S PRETTY FUCKING EMBARRASSING AND IT MAKES ME WONDER HOW THE FUCK YOUR SPECIES HAS EVEN EVOLVED PAST THE PRIMORDIAL SLIME STAGE TO MAKE IT THIS FAR.
BUT FEAR NOT, YOU SORRY, UNCULTURED HERD OF BEEFGRUBS!
BECAUSE DESPITE YOUR LACK OF UNDERSTANDING, I AM HERE TO TELL YOU THAT I HAPPEN TO BE A GODDAMN *EXPERT* ON ROMANCE.
I'VE READ SO MANY TEXTS AND STUDIED SO MANY FILMS ON ROMANCE THAT I COULD DESCRIBE TO YOU THE SUBTLE NUANCES ONE MIGHT EXPERIENCE AND HOW THEY HELP TO ENRICH ANY ASPECT OF ONE'S ROMANTIC PURSUITS, FROM QUADRANT VACILLATION TO THE BALANCE BETWEEN HATRED AND KISMESISSITUDE.
"BUT WAIT," I HEAR YOU PRACTICALLY WHINING THROUGH THE PAGES OF YOUR JOURNAL, "HOW COME I'VE NEVER HEARD OF THESE WORDS BEFORE??"
WELL THAT IS BECAUSE I'M TEACHING YOU ALL TROLL ROMANCE.
AND WHY AM I TEACHING YOU ALL ABOUT TROLL ROMANCE?
BECAUSE HUMAN ROMANCE IS DUMB AND SEVERELY LACKING IN ANY SORT OF SUBSTANCE OR COMPLEXITY.
IT'LL BE A CRASH COURSE IN CULTURAL EXCHANGE, SURE, BUT GIVEN HOW INADEQUATE HUMANS ARE WHEN IT COMES TO UNDERSTANDING THE COMPLEX ROMANTIC ENDEAVOURS AND WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO TELL A MOIRAIL FROM AN AUSPISTICE EVEN WITHOUT KNOWING THE PROPER TERMS FOR IT, THIS IS THE KIND OF ROMANCE I'M GOING TO TEACH.
AND HONESTLY, IF EVERY SINGLE STORY WE ENCOUNTER DEALS WITH ROMANCE OF SOME KIND, THIS INFORMATION IS GONNA BE VITAL FOR FIXING THEM SOONER AND GETTING THE FUCK BACK HOME FASTER!
SO I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU THE MOST IMPORTANT SCHOOLFEEDING OF YOUR LIVES, ALL FREE OF CHARGE!
OF COURSE, ANY PRAISE YOU WISH TO HURL MY WAY IS ACCEPTABLE AND EVEN ENCOURAGED.
I'M PRACTICALLY WAITING ON YOU PRONG AND FUCKING NUB OVER HERE, A LITTLE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT WOULD BE NICE.
OKAY, ENOUGH PREFACE, ON TO THE ACTUAL LESSON!

[And then Karkat draws the following image:]

YOU SEE THIS?
COPY IT DOWN. MEMORIZE IT. LIVE AND BREATHE IT.
BECAUSE THIS IS GOING TO BE THE BASIS OF ALL I'M ABOUT TO TEACH YOU ALL.
SERIOUSLY, FIND A GODDAMN PEN AND START TAKING NOTES.

[And unless anyone stops to ask questions, Karkat is going to go into a long-winded, swear-ridden description of troll romance for all to see.]

Looks like we got a lot of cool new things after wrapping up that last story, and I'm still debating what to pick.

But I've been wondering about these eggs. Sure they say they could hatch and be friendly companions, but...

Do you think they would make good omelets?

Okay, okay, I'm kidding, I really wouldn't try to eat one (sorry Kotori—and Eizen, too, I guess) ~~dragon omelet sounds kind of cool though~~ but how would we go about hatching these things, anyway? Anyone got one yet and found out?

Starting to think that maybe boiling the dragon ones might not be such a bad idea...

[Is he serious? Is he not serious? Would he really try to cook the egg? It's Rokurou.]

I know a lot of people have been busy right now, but I was wondering if anyone had time to answer a few questions.

Specifically... does anyone know much about going on a date? And what to do when on a date? How is it different from just spending time with friends?

[A little later, two specific individuals will get notifications to their journals.]

Hi, there! I hope that everyone’s okay after the Story Eater attack. That was… really intense.

Anyway… I’ve been thinking a lot about this lately, and I think I’m going to go home for a little while. I want to get stronger at cooking, and that’ll take some time and practice. [And she wants to strengthen her relationships with her friends and family there…] I don’t know how long I’ll be in my world, or how much I’ll be able to remember this time, but I’ll ask to Storyteller to bring me back in a few days by Index time.

Before I go, though… what are some of your favorite foods? Are there any recipes from your homes that you miss here? What about birthdays, or holidays that aren’t celebrated in the Index?

[For almost everyone, that’s the whole message. But then Kotori adds another, more private question to a certain someone.]

As long as I'm stuck here, I might as well use all of you to my advantage. I've been here long enough - correction, Scrooge McDuck and I have been here long enough that no doubt he's mentioned me once or twice.

(The round one.)

But knowing that cheap miser, I doubt he's told you the whole story. So allow me to pose a query to you all.

Let's say you have a enemy you've been fighting with for years. It's been frustrating, exhausting, and you've wasted time and money just to keep them away. They've hexed your body, mind, home, everything they can get their hands on, time and time again. They've gone after your family and friends.There's no doubt they'll be hounding you for the rest of your life. However, there is one simple way to make them go away forever and never hear from them again.

One dime.

For those of you with different money systems, think of it as the smallest, cheapest, almost-close-to-worthless amount of money you can own.

Would you or would you not hand it over so you can know peace for the rest of your days?

Sender: Davy Jones | Eizen

Recipient: Everyone. Unfortunately.

[Rest in pieces, Index, because Eizen has been drinking with Rokurou. His handwriting is messy but legible and oh boy are the drawings included on this post surprisingly good for a drunken scribble.]

So Rokurou told me that there are kids here. Kids who may not know certain things. I may be a pirate but I’m also a big brother and a scholar and I know how you humans are.

You fuck like rabbits. And you’re bad at it. [In Rokurou’s handwriting:] speak for yourself I know the library here doesn’t have anything on romance or sex I’ve looked so that means you unfortunately have to deal with me. I’ve been drinking a lot.

[Little drawings in Rokurou’s hand of beer mugs. Eizen just wants to let everyone know why this is happening. Enough awareness to do that but not enough to stop this trainwreck.]

I can’t speak for how it works between two women but--

[What follows is a very drunken ramble covering the basics that Eizen can cover. With rough sketches to illustrate. Your journals may protest and censor things.

And commentary from Rokurou, though at one point there is a color war as Rokurou tries to make comments when Eizen starts talking about less tame things that end with Eizen writing "I am a thousand years old I think I know more shut up you drunk". Rokurou’s comment is just "haha old". And also a dick.

And he does attempt to offer ideas for how it works between two women but it’s not like Eizen would ever have a chance to find out how. Again, he crosses out anything Rokurou tries to say here because not happening.]

Any questions? Don’t ask Rokurou though. [And another scribble war on the journals. They are sitting right next to each other.]

[In the morning you will find a message at the top of the start of the previous entry from Eizen. In big, bold letters:]

FORGET YOU EVER READ THIS

Sender: Captain Ahab (Moby Dick) | Scrooge McDuck
Recipient: Everyone (EXCEPT Magica De Spell)

Greetings, all. A few new faces have shown up in the Index here, as I'm sure many have noticed; if you are one of those people, welcome.

This is no pleasant conversation, however. This is a warning. One of the newest arrivals is someone from my world, a witch named Magica De Spell. You can't miss her, she's a duck like I am with long black hair and one of the worst personalities you'll ever come across. Likely I, or perhaps the other Scrooge that also arrived recently, will be the focus of her efforts but my message here is in the event that that changes.

I know many of you are quite capable of taking care of yourselves. But Magica is sly, sneaky, and can wield immense power whenever she gets her hands on the right spell objects. For a small sample of our past encounters: I've had meteors called down on my Money Bin; our bodies have been swapped; my family has been manipulated and hypnotized multiple times; she's had dragons and demons at her disposal; gravity itself was bent at an angle; and she's implanted false histories and memories. Additionally, even if she's without her magic for one reason or another, she always has a weapon she calls "foof bombs" at her disposal. These are like the smoke bomb's more wicked cousin, in that once thrown they create a dizzying cloud that will knock you blinded and senseless for several minutes. Judging by her appearance when I saw her, her Essence is Circe herself, and I shudder to think what powers that might give her here.

So, consider this your warning in case you happen to cross her path at the wrong time (and there are very few right times). She is a powerful, tricky, manipulative villainess, and with her now being here that unfortunately makes her no longer my problem alone. I can try to field any questions, if you have them, but I can't stand idly by just knowing that she's here in the Index.

Avoid at all costs.

((OOC: This is currently filtered from Magica, though of course anyone's free to let her know Scrooge totally just ratted her out))

I'm looking for someone to spar with. My skill with a sword has been lacking as of late and I need to return to form. As a warning, do not offer if you cannot stand up to Hyde. I cannot guarantee your safety should he make his appearance.

Also.

What do people like to do?

~HELLO PEOPLE OF THE INDEX~ This is Kokichi Oma, one of the many, many people who hopped on board and found themselves in fairy tale land. I could say more stuff about myself, but that's kind of boring. So how about we play a little game instead? First, I'll list three things about myself... I'm the leader of an underground organization back home. I go to a high school for kids who have "ultimate" talents. As in they're the best in that field. I'm a huge fan of bug watching. Now you guys get to figure out which one is the lie! Doesn't that sound like fun? And feel free to join in the fun by making up your own two truths and one lie. This way, we get to know each other better before the next great adventure! Or whatever that Storyteller guy wants us to do.

So. I have a weird question, especially for the ladies.

Date suggestions, and maybe some advice.

Don't ask how this happened, I'm still trying to figure it out myself. (Shut up, Eizen.) But it's really more of a challenge than anything romantic, and I want to win this. [He's really selling his appeal, isn't he.]

Hunting and sparring is already an idea (yes, she does like those), but I was thinking of maybe trying something a little more...normal? [And now how does he talk about Velvet without saying it's Velvet and not potentially embarrassing her by talking too much.] I know some of her preferences and will try to keep those in mind, but that's about it.

So what do most girls generally like or don't like? Any good cafés or restaurants you've noticed around the Index? Or hangout place? I personally haven't really checked any before, but I will once we get back.

Like I said I'm not trying to win her over or anything, just let her actually have some fun and enjoy herself. She hasn't had that kind of experience in a while, so...

Anyway, thanks.

[...That's probably as subtle as he can get, so he'll just leave it at that. But that should do it, right? Good enough. Just tell him stuff that will help him win this unsaid bet—]

[ooc: just a note that Rokurou filtered this away from Velvet, but that won't be obvious to other people. he doesn't necessarily want to announce it's with Velvet since that just seems weird (like this whole thing isn't already), but if asked he'd probably answer. OH and this is set during Act II while everyone is still kind of chilling.]

Hey guys, Rokurou here! That last story was pretty crazy, huh? But another job well done...I think?

[He's pretty sure the story changed from the original, but you know what, this version is so much cooler.]

Anyway, two things.

One, we should throw a party to celebrate! I mean we did succeed, right? So why not have a party for it? I can help supply the meat, Eizen can help with the drinks. [Yes, he did just volunteer Eizen for this without asking. Yep.] Everyone can be invited, especially if anyone new has arrived. You, too, Disciple :P

Second, has anyone else planted that stone we got as part of our reward? I got alcohol flowing out of mine and it's awesome. Too bad it's only one type, so still going to have to bother you, Eizen.

Oh, Cyrus! I was thinking we need to somehow go back to that candy place and see if we can take a piece to try and plant it here. Maybe it'll work?

Anyway, back on that party, since it's getting warmer, we could have a barbecue or something, maybe down by the river. Get a few steaks and ribs going, grilled fish. Kotori your pot can make just about anything, right?

Let's just pick a day to kick back and relax, how does that sound?

[Party! Party! Party!

ooc: just a side note that this entry is going out before Hyde decides to smack the wall. OH and threadjacking is A-OK this is completely public so have fun.]

Hey guys! First time using this thing. Do I need to put my name somewhere? Anyway, I'm Rokurou Rangetsu and me and

Okay I don't know his name, he's just calling himself "Disciple" to be cool and mysterious I guess.

(Hey, Disciple it's okay I'm mentioning you, right? Guess it's too late now.)

We were by the border and found some interesting things. First of all, you can't walk off the edge. There's an invisible shield thing which is pretty cool when you think about it. Like a big bubble over the place. Imagine if it wasn't there, you'd just walk right off the edge!

[He's rambling, but apparently once he starts writing it's kind of hard to stop.]

But what's really cool is there's this small gap between the edge and the shield. Not big enough for anyone to fall through, but enough to drop something. You guys should try it and see for yourselves — it's really fun.

[He is CLEARLY leaving out some details... And thus may or may not be trying to see if anyone would just take him at his word for a little pranking.]
