[Private toooooo...]
♡ ♡  Connor~! ♡ ♡ 

Did I get your attention? Hee hee!

I noticed you and Princess Eirika spend a lot of time with one another. You must have seen her recent network post about her 'name day', hm? I would like to celebrate with a surprise birthday party for her! I thought perhaps you would like to help me prepare! Let me know if you are interested ASAP.

💕 Princess Peach.

[On the 11th, Peach sent a cupcake to Eirika's dorm, in a pink cardboard parcel, just big enough to hold a cupcake. A small card is attached;
Princess, I know you said not to, but . . . Happy Birthday! ❤ Princess

THAT'LL THROW HER OFF, FOR SURE. HA HA HA. HA HA HA HA HA HA.]

It has been a while since I have found the time to update my journal, and for that I must apologize. I've spent my summer preparing for my upcoming class (which I hope you will all enjoy), and the last few weeks have been ... a bit hectic, to say the least. I'm sure you can all agree.

I hope everyone who- unfortunately- spent time in the hospitals or Pokémon Center recently were able to receive the get-well-soon bouquets I sent! 🌠  I know it isn't much, but I had to do something. If there's any more I can do for any of you, please don't hesitate to ask. And, of course, if you did not receive a bouquet at your bedside while in the hospital, I deeply apologize.

I do hope everyone is feeling better, but I do know the events may have left some of us still shaken or bruised. Good company is often helpful in a quick recovery. If anybody needs a friend to chat with, you're always welcome to call or stop by my dormitory.

💝 Somebody out there is thinking of you fondly, Smash Academy! 💝 

Hello again, Smash Academy! It's an absolute pleasure to be back.

First, I must extend my apologies to those I may have worried by disappearing unannounced for so long! To put it simply, I had an engagement back in Mushroom Kingdom a few months ago and ended up getting... ah, a little sidetracked.

I can't say I'm surprised to see a few unfamiliar faces around campus since I've been back! So, please allow me to introduce myself! I am Princess Peach Toadstool from the Mushroom Kingdom. Just Peach is fine, though! ♡ It's lovely to have the opportunity to meet all of you! Please, don't hesitate to introduce yourself to me.

Oh, and I've talked some things over with the Headmaster and I'm delighted to announce I've accumulated enough credits to graduate and take a teaching position upon my return! I'll miss having a roommate, but I am looking forward to teaching. I hope to see some of you in my cooking class when I begin!

✨Have a wonderful day, everyone!✨ 

My, I've been rather scarce haven't I?

Well, I might as well say something now that we've gotten a lot of new students, staff, and apparently visitors. Welcome, at any rate.

My name is Peach.

Whether or not your stay is temporary, I hope you enjoy your time here.

... Did anyone else hear that meow in the Teachers' Dorms? That was really loud. I looked down the hall but didn't see anything. Didn't quite sound like a real cat though... Ivan, I hope to god that wasn't you.

Also glad that the Valentines ordeal is over with. I managed to avoid it but seems a lot of you went through some pretty bad stuff. ... For those who are in my class, don't think I'll go easy on you because of that.

I'm sorry I haven't been around as much. Had some business out of town.

[OoC Notes!

Long story short: Caim killed the Kraken and pretty much displayed his killing by leaving pieces of it everywhere for people to find. So the dormitory halls, the classroom halls, the unlocked classrooms, the cafeteria, the bathrooms? Yeah. They all have at least something, even if it's really small. If you skimmed the narrative (which I wouldn't blame you for), then just note that the head of the Kraken can be found put on display in front of the main office for the Hands.

For those who did read the narrative, Caim's reference to the Seed of Destruction can be seen here. It might be a bit spoileriffic for anyone who doesn't want to know, so don't click it if you're trying to avoid everything. (Also, it's a bit graphic and not for the faint of heart, I suppose.) This is one of the last things Caim actually saw before he came to the academy. /useful tidbits of information

Also, for those who don't know who the Kraken is, you can take a look at this here, which I used to reference a lot of stuff in this narrative.

For those who may wish to confront Caim (as he didn't go in disguise for this) once they've discovered it's him (or if they've known all along), you can either contact me about it, or form up a mob (as I'm sure more than one person would like to give Caim his just desserts). I'd be happy to work with anything as long as I know beforehand.

Additional Notes:
I understand this may come as a shock to a lot of characters (and possibly players). If you have any issues with it or questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. You can leave a note on my HMD, or send me a PM, or contact me over AIM (afkmkdirarf).]

[Seeing as how Sable was going to return home not only for the holidays (and to celebrate her 27th birthday my god Sable you're getting old), but also to help Mabel out with the holiday rush at their tailor shop, she sends out her gifts earlier than usual, just before she leaves.]

[Here comes everyone's favourite one-eyed security guard/mob boss!]

( For his lucky Secret Santa, the ever-lovely Madame Flurrie )

( For the fiesty Cammy White )

( For the sassy Eli )

( For the elegant Erika )

( For every other lady at the school )

( And lastly, the Security Team )

[Video feed: There's a man sitting in a luxurious leather office chair, with his back facing the camera. He speaks in a low, threatening voice.]

Seems like things are getting fun around herrre. Looks like I'm just in time.

[He quickly spins around... and around, and around and around and then he stops! In front of the camera. Suddenly his voice jumps two octaves higher and he's cackling like a madman. His man has too much tacky snakeskin and leather to possibly be real life, and yet has somehow forgotten to wear a shirt this morning. There's an eyepatch adorned with a snake over his left eye, and sickly-looking shadows around his right. This is not the look of a well adjusted, law-abiding man.]

EHEEHEEHEEHEE! Nice ta meet ya, Su-ma-bu-ra!

You brats can call me Mr. Majima. I'll be in charge of security from now on. Ya see any men in black 'round the city, don't mind'em. They answer to me.

Feel free ta step by TD-43 any time ya got issue with anything,'cause I'll be claiming this turf now~

See you around.

[Gee, where was Mac? Probably no one had seen him since yesterday, right? It was sometime in the morning. Maybe you clicked on the news, sat with your coffee. Everything was kind of normal. Right? Well there was a Special Report on that News Station.]

We're here to bring you new information on the recent murders that recently hit this town of Final Destination City.

Two new bodies have been located. Both were of younger men.

One body was of a waiter by the name of [name here] who worked at the Hanging Gardens diner. The other one was, upon the inspection of his ID, was a student at the Smash Academy by the name of Mac.

[That waiter's name is here] did not survive but the student however is still living, maintaining critical injuries and is being treated at the local hospital. He was found by a passerby who wanted to remain anonymous. The doctors expect him to recover in due time, but the police wish the question him if he could recall any details on how to catch the murderer.

More on this in a minute. We will be sure to update you once we have more information on this news.


[Oh look it's a commercial now...How nice.]

Hello again, Smash Academy. It's so lovely to be back once again~.

I apologize for leaving so suddenly, there were important matters I had to attend to at the Mushroom Kingdom. Everything is resolved, so I can return to the school at ease knowing everything is now under control.

I've noticed some fresh faces around here, my name is Peach. I was previously a student here but I have now signed up to be a Teacher's Assistant. So I hope to still see you all in class. And don't ever be shy if any of you need my help at all.

Hello. I'm Frank, and I'll be taking classes here.

Thought I should introduce myself.

S-So, uh, I guess I haven't been saying anything here lately... Or even leaving my room, for that matter... [He trails off. Did anyone even notice that he was gone? The only times he left his room was for short walks or small errands. After so many encounters at this school, leaving his room seemed kind of dangerous!] Was there some sort of vacation that I missed? For a while, the whole school was empty! It was kind of creepy... I was lonely...

But a-anyway! Does anyone know what the loud music was about...? People keep saying something about a party, but that much was obvious... I got stuck right in the middle of some sort of dance party in the hallway! I think I lost the books I was carrying...

U-Um, by the way, if anyone finds some cookbooks in the hallway, those are probably mine!
