I've almost been here for two weeks.

I haven't written in a while, but that's because everything's so different. I kept meaning to sit down and write about it, but things kept distracting me. It's nice to be here, though, but I miss being around Guy, Natalia, and even Anise and Jade. I keep wondering if this is all going to turn out to be some dream. I don't think it will, but it's so different here.

I've been around Tear a lot. I thought she might not be here to watch over me when she showed up, but she is. I'm really glad about it. I haven't really had a chance to say anything yet, but I think we're both waiting. I'd ask Guy what he thinks, but he's not here. Maybe I should tell someone here. There's a chance that someone will tell me what to do. Isn't that sort of thing emphasized in this place? I'll try and see if these filters will let me ask a lot of people here.

I haven't mentioned everything with Tear yet. We've gone grocery shopping a lot and I think I know how to do it on my own now. I've been thinking about getting a job, but I don't think I'd be good for anything. It'd be kind of a pain, too, to do something like that. I've never really had to work, but I also was willing to save the world. I haven't asked Tear what she plans on doing, but I think I should. She'll help me out.

This place is so different, though. A lot of people seem a bit uneasy and I don't think very many are happy. It was a little easier helping people back home. With Jade, Guy, and the rest, we were really able to make a change. I don't think I can do that here. The only thing I was really good for is gone. I still have the Key of Lorelei, but it's not the same.

There's a lot more I could say, but I think I'm going to go ask some guys that question.

There's a girl I really like, and I'm pretty sure she likes me. What do you think I should do? I'd like any advice.

Thanks.

Easter's a kinda complicated religious thing to explain to somebody who isn't from that kinda world, but it goes like this...

There's two versions of the story. One belongs to pagans and the other belongs to a different religious group!

Among really religious types, there's a period of spiritual preparation for Easter called "Lent" which starts on a Wednesday, called "Ash Wednesday." An' a week before Easter, which takes place on a Sunday, there are days that recall special occasions with the son of God. There's Palm Sunday, Holy Monday, Holy Tuesday, Holy Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, an' Good Friday. Good Friday's kind of a weird day, 'cause there's nothin' good about it. Good Friday's the day that the son of God died on the crucifix on which he was crucified. Holy Saturday's the end of the Holy Week an' Lent. The Sunday after that is Easter, which celebrates his resurrection. Doesn't really have anything to do with bunnies.

I should've figured it was a religious thing. We don't really like religion. I guess you can say we had a bad experience with it, but I bet it's a little different here.

It's a bit different for everybody! For me, it's kinda my job to know about it.

Before I came here, I was a part of a group kind of trying to make it so the world didn't have to follow the religion. We called it the Score, and it was more like a prophecy, I guess.

No way!

So you were part of'a real important kinda group?! What kind'a changes did you guys bring an' what was the turnaround time? Y'know, like, how long was the group around an' did it get anything done during the time ya were there an' if so, how long did it take to get it done?

My name's Luke. There was an Order in my world, too. We called it the Order of Lorelei.
