HOT.

...why is it so hooooot? This is almost as hot as summer in Japan! So much for a vacation...

...ugh. This is killing me.

I need a cold drink. A beer would be wonderful!

...and maybe some ice cream, as well. Or smoothies. Smoothies would be heavenly...

The sea's evaporated
Though it comes as no surprise
These clouds we're seeing
Their explosions in the sky
It seems it's written
But we can't read between the line

Hush
It's okay
Dry your eye
Dry your eye
Soulmate dry your eye
Dry your eye
Soulmate dry your eye
Cause soulmates never die

This one world vision
Turns us in to compromise
What good's religion
When it's each other we despise
Damn the government
Damn the killing
Damn the lies

Hush
It's okay
Dry your eyes
Dry your eyes
Soulmate dry your eyes
Dry your eyes
Soulmate dry your eyes
Cause soulmates never die

Soulmates never die
Never die
Soulmates never die
Never die...
Soulmates never die
Soulmates never die
Soulmates never die
Soulmates never die

Aaaaah, my Watanuki is back to action again~! ♥ And the big stud is finally going to have Subaru-kun move in with us! This is almost like they were getting married - and it will be great having Subaru-kun around, too~! I'm so happy! ♥

Although I also feel a little like a third wheel. I'm sure my pretty boys will need time alone for themselves and they wouldn't want me to be around then. Oh, such a cruel life~!

Maybe I should find a new place for myself, then~! ♥

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY, LUMIERE~!

As usual, we will be holding a party later this evening, in the park area near the cherry trees Sakura-chan has so kindly provided us. And as a special, one-day-only treat, there will be a moderately-sized train departing from a small station right outside the park - it will be heavily ornamented with flowers and hearts, so you can't miss it. From there, it will take a slow ride around the city and, in the meantime, passengers will get to taste a fine assortment of chocolates.

So, do you have any romantic interests in the city? A special date comign up? Someone you wish to confess-- or, who knows, maybe propose to? Don't miss out on the opportunity, then! ♥ There is a limited number of wagons and seats, though, so hurry up~! And don't forget to thank my wonderful assistant for her wonderful idea~! ♥

Also, I hope you all are taking full advantage of the Valentine's Day facilities Sephiroth-san and I have set up for you. Because Valentine's Day is not the same without pretty letters and gifts and lots of love~! ♥

Which reminds me of that wedding issue.

Watanuki and Doumeki-kun have now disappeared. They will be fine as long as they are together, but even so, I can't help it but feeling a little worried for their safety. I haven't seen Seishirou-san in a while, either. I wonder if he's still around.

Either way, this is not helping the overall depressive mood Lumiere has plunged into, especially after the goodbye letter incident. And while many citizens have left, new people have also been arriving left and right for the past couple of weeks. So, I suggest we all do something to lift the spirits around here. Mopey faces don't make for a good welcome, you know?

This calls for another party! And I have the perfect theme already~! Everyone, get ready for...

VALENTINE'S DAY~! ♥

I should start making preparations, yay~! ♥ 

[Private to TRC!Clow]

There's something we need to talk about, or rather, someone. Someone you should meet. Creepy and awkward as the thought might be.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE~! ♥  

And it looks like I got quite a few presents on my cubbyhole, huh~? Well, thank you, my darlings! They're all most adorable! ♥ 

I would give you gifts in return, if I could. So, will lots of love and a permanent place in my heart do~?

Your Secret Santa's names have been sent out, so please check your mail boxes when you have the chance. Also, once you find out who you got, do keep it a secret, no matter how hard it might be for you, okay~? It wouldn't be fun otherwise. ♥ 

On another note, please remember you must personally make the presents; buying them ready or asking someone else to make them for you is absolutely out of question, and if I catch any of you cheating, I won't be too terribly happy about it. So, seize this opportunity as a means to make new friends! Try and get to know a little bit about the person you got, find out about their hobbies and things they like, stalk them and their journals, if you have to; it is the thought that counts, so I'm sure they will appreciate your efforts even if your gift doesn't turn out perfect~ ♥ 

...I hate how corny I just sounded.

This has been your beloved OPP with the latest news on the Secret Santa! Stay tuned for further details on the gift exchange and the Christmas festivities, my darlings~!

Looks like they are here to stay...The entities from the world of the dead. They are everywhere, and even those without Sight can see them just as easily... They mean no harm, but some people are not entirely comfortable about their presence; then again, that doesn't come off as a big surprise.

Halloween is to last longer than expected, it seems.

And that reminds me! Apparently, the government in this city took a special liking to my party-planning abilities, and so they have made me Lumiere's Official Party Person - OPP, for short~! I got a badge and an ID card and everything, too! Oh, my little darlings, you know what that means, right~?

Every sort of official festivity will be under my planning and supervision - which means they'll be a total hit~! ♥

And since I am being paid for that, you don't need to worry about future compensation, either. At least not when it comes to official gatherings, anyway~

Aaah, I feel so excited! I should throw a party in celebration for my party-planning job~! Or maybe I should start planning the winter festivities... Christmas trees and present exchanges and mistletoe~! My mind is brimming with so many ideas already~! ♥

Halloween at last~! One of my favorite holidays of the year, definitely!

For those of you who plan on attending my party, it should start no earlier than 9:00 PM, as I'll be trick-or-treating prior to the festivities. To those of you who have assisted me in the making of the party and for those of you who will be working at it, your paychecks will be mailed to you tomorrow morning, given I don't get a killing hangover. Also, please don't forget to wear a costume, otherwise I'll have to take matters into my own hands - and by now, I'm sure you all know what that means.

That reminds me. If anyone is even considering not giving us treats, just keep in mind this holiday was made to play pranks on people and my Mokonas are really, really good at the arts of trickery. They learned from the best, after all~! ♥

Ah, Sephiroth-san! The Mokonas say thank you for the jellybeans you so generously left at our front door. The bonbons were simply superb, too~! ♥

Attention everyone!

This is the opportunity of your lives~! ♥

1. Reply to this post with five questions you want to ask me. They can be serious or foolish, I don't care! Get personal if you want.
2. I'll reply to your questions on this journal or in a comment.
3. Do the same thing with your journal so I can ask you pointless questions.

Now, now. Don't try to get smart with me. You're supposed to ask things you want to know about me, not about yourself, be it your past, present, future and/or whatever. This is a meme, not fortune-telling, you know. And I'm definitely not offering my professional services for free. This also applies to anything that is not related to Yuuko Ichihara's persona, so if you insist on asking things of that sort in spite of my warnings, you'll just waste one of your precious questions. Use them wisely~ as I never promised to answer the whole truth, anyway.

Have fun~! ♥

This is Halloween, everybody make a scene
Trick or treat till the neighbors gonna die of fright
It's our town, everybody scream
In this town of Halloween~

It's Halloween time, everyone~!

And guess what~? The Lumiere officials have made me in charge of throwing a massive party for Halloween! I suppose the news about my Moon-Viewing Festival have made it to their ears, after all! How great is that~? ♥ Also, no one will have to worry about future compensation, since the State has that covered already.

That doesn't mean you'll get rid of my tricks. This is Halloween, you know~ ♥

So here's what we're going to do on All Hallows' Eve. First, the Mokonas and I will go trick-or-treating, because that's the fun part. Everyone, be ready to give us lots of candy, otherwise the Mokonas will be tricking you - and they learned everything they know from me as well as someone else who is even creepier. My lovely girls and boys are more than welcome to join us, of course - and that means Watanuki and Sakura-chan and Sakura-chan and Chii-chan and Pudding-chan and Ichigo-chan and Alphonse-kun and Syaoran-kun and Fay-san and Fay-kun~! I have costumes in mind for each and every one of you already~!

After that, we'll be heading to the park, where the party will be held. There will be a big bonfire, lots of food, creepy music to set the mood and story-telling! I was thinking we could also have a short play of sorts, so that the youngsters will get to have fun before the boundaries between the two worlds are dispersed and things get too macabre for those easily frightened. What do you think, children~?

Also, I'm going to need major help this time - from traditional food to decoration, so. Any volunteers? You'll get fully paid for your assistance, of course.

Ohoho, this is so exciting~! ♥ 


[ooc: Lumiere officials = Lulu. xD She asked me to have Yuuko host a massive Halloween party, so yeah~ ♥]

//Private ~ Hackable only to the Tsubasa and xxxHolic crew.

Just like water, they flow. Time and fate. Taking detours, following different streams, facades will change, if only for a moment - just a spark of happiness, until the premise is broken. A world of tangled connections remains, a web where every thread has a meaning, and every meaning is inevitably linked to one result. 

For the sake of two futures, the boy dreams. For the sake of a wish, he will face despair and confusion, until the final moment comes and only one future will be elected.

Kind lies and twisted truths; twisted truths and second intentions; second intentions and kind lies. Past becomes present, haunting the man. Who is the real sinner..?

In the end, the course is still the same; there is only one outcome. There is only Hitsuzen. 

Let water flow...

//End of private.


Fay. Should you require my aid still, let me know.

Gin-san, I'm afraid Watanuki will have to refrain from his activities at the bakery, at least for the time being. He is... in a different plane as of now.


[Ooc: The private bit refers to her usual Hitsuzen mumbo jumbo in general, but especially to Watanuki and Fay. Because angsty!Fay plot and Watanuki's frequent passing-outs and awayness inspire the inner emo that is Yuuko muse. Bear with it until next happy posty. ]

As you all know, your beautiful hostess spent a considerable amount of time planning every tiny detail so that the Festival would be no less than perfect. So, I honestly hope you all had a great evening.

However. 

For those of you who are familiar with the way I work, you should have known that everything I do comes with a price, and the Festival was no exception. By accepting my invitation, you were all also accepting my conditions, willingly or not. Call it a tacit agreement, if you wish. And for those who were not aware of my system before... do use a little bit of common sense next time you're dealing with a complete stranger, kaaay~? ♥

That said, I suppose it's time to receive compensation for my services. As such, each and everyone of you who wore, touched and/or had any sort of contact with the Mokona ears during the Festival will automatically go into Mokona-mode for three whole days, meaning you will be talking in third person AND adding "PUU!" at random in every sentence you speak and/or write. And before I get complaints, this is not a curse, but it will take effect nonetheless, starting tomorrow.

On a side note, those of you who helped me with the Festival in one way or another will not be affected by the Mokona-mode, since your assistance was enough compensation already. Because my prices are always fair.

I'll be looking forward to hearing from you all in the upcoming days~! ♥

Attention, citizens of Lumiere!

Children, do stop complaining about going to school. It is actually a fun, enlightening place, and even though most of you haven't realized it yet, you are very lucky to have such an opportunity. I have heard of many who would love to go through that kind of experience, but can't for several different reasons - myself included. So, cut out the whining act already and quit giving the Lumiere authorities a hard time.

Also, for future reference, I could get you rid of school if so you wish, but I advise not resorting to my methods. The price for that exchange would be considerably high for any of you to afford.

On a different note, the preparations for my party are finally concluded. This means my Moon-Viewing Festival shall be held on the next full moon, which is in two weeks. My lovely guests, you shall shortly receive your invitations, in the shape of Mokona ears. As soon as you get them, please look for either Chii-chan or myself so we can handle your custom-made outfits to you. 

As far as the guest list goes, it consists basically of my old-time friends, as well as new acquaintances made during my stay in Lumiere. They are as follows:

Mokona is not on the list because Mokona is our guest of honor, of course~ ♥

Should any of you have anyone you want to bring along, feel free to do so, as long as I get a heads-up beforehand. Also, I don't think I have forgotten any names, but should you feel left out, drop me a line. Finally, if you're not an acquaintance of mine, but you want to attend the party nonetheless, let me know. The more people, the better~!

The preparations for my Moon-Viewing festivities are going at full-speed! My custom Mokona outfit is looking so pretty already~! ♥

I'm having a whole set of black and white Mokona ears made for my guests, along with matching suits. And also, I think I'll get pink Mokona ears for my extra-cute girls - Pudding-chan, Ichigo-chan, Sakura-chan and Chii-chan. Boys, do behave yourselves around those young ladies, will you?

I got food and drinks covered already, but of course, there's nothing new there. Although, if any of my good friends with cooking experience are willing to help, I think Watanuki would greatly appreciate your kind offers~ ♥ 

Other than a few more details, I think the only main issue left is music. Live music, please. So, are there any musical talents in this city who would be willing to work for me? You would receive proper compensation for your services, of course. And Mokona ears!

Ah, I think a break from so much work would be in order now. Seishirou-san, are the drinks still up~?

WHO. DREW. THIS?



IF ANY OF YOU IS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT, SPEAK UP RIGHT NOW, OTHERWISE YOU'LL BE FEELING MY WRATH. THIS IS A WARNING. I WILL NOT ALLOW SUCH A stalker BIG FAT LIAR TO GO BY WITHOUT PROPER PUNISHMENT!

Clow, if you have anything to do with this, do not let me find out. Otherwise you may as well consider yourself a dead man. Again.

The strange happenings have finally begun to occur. People who were supposed to be dead in their homelands have been spotted here, leading new lives as though they hadn't experienced death. Some of them, as well as other people, have disappeared from this world without a word, including him. That, however, I could take as of no relevance, I could even understand it, for I could tell Lumiere was no ordinary dimension the moment I took my first step into these lands.

What I cannot understand, though, is the fact that people who have admittedly died/been killed while in Lumiere have ressurrected the day after the misfortunate event. They have clear recollections of the very moment of their death and can even remember what it felt like to have life stolen from their bodies but, other than that, it is as though nothing had ever happened to them.

The dead can never  be fully brought back to life, no matter what kind of power you use. That is the major Law of the Universe that I have been taught during my existence, and there has been enough proof of it on countless occasions. However, if those people have been revived, does that mean Lumiere is breaking the rules? Should this be the case, is that the price Lumiere citizens pay for the promised second chance at happiness? Is it a fair price..?

Is it fair that I keep refraining from action, even when I'm in a world that possibly defies the balance of the Universe? Can I keep that desperate boy without answers for even longer than I already have, under the excuse of my non-interference policy? Can I just watch helplessly while those children go through even more hardships? I'm not sure anymore. I must investigate this place a little further before I can answer those questions.

But even amidst my dilemma, I can't help being selfish for a single moment and think of my personal problems. I wonder what happened to him now that he has left the city of lights... Even if it is the right thing, it hurts me to think he might have died once more and that I'll never see him again... That is too sad. I had something I wanted to tell him.

That's right! Larg's mission in my world has been accomplished, and now my favorite kuro-manjuu has finally arrived to Lumiere, just like I had arranged! Time to say goodbye to the-almighty-boredom-that-nearly-killed-Yuuko-chan-and-drove-her-mad-to-the-point-of-considering-getting-a-job~! ♥ Soel must be coming soon... as well as Syaoran...

Ah, my mind is brimming with fun ideas again~! ♥ I feel like throwing a party! Or maybe going to the beach... Oh, even better! We could have a party at the beach! ON A FULL MOON NIGHT! Then we can dance and eat and drink sake and watch the moon, yaaaay~ ♥ Watanuki, get ready for a lot of work!

Aaaaah, I'm so happy! Let's go get some drinks, Mokona~! ♥
