[On the screen appears a tough-looking guy with bleached hair and a scar above his eye. Several piercings adorn his ears. If he wasn't wearing a jacket, you'd also see his skull-and-crossbones tattoo on his left arm.

But he gives the camera a neutral look, greeting the school.]

'Sup guys. I'm Kanji Tatsumi, the new kid in school.

If anyone can tell me how to sign up for these sparring matches, that would be awesome.

[Little does Kanji know that the signups already expired. Oh well.]

((Also suppose to be locked from Alex, but he forgot to turn on the filters.))

On recent light of the subject, if anyone encounter a damage drinking fountain, I sincerely apologize for it and will pay for the damage in due time. Also, if anyone has caught me in a rut mood for the past few days, I apologize for that as well. I've been -for less better words- in a rather shitty mood for most, though I understand that isn't much of an excuse. Anywho, again, I sincerely apologize for the damage and less-than-pleasant attitude.

One would think the very idea of death is something absolutely unheard of. This isn't the first murder in the city this year. Anywhere with such a large population has one pop up in the news every so often. I wouldn't be surprised if this was drug- or gang-related, as they often are.

Now really, you are all being ridiculous. Yes, it is a terrible thing to have happen so near to the school. No, I don't think we're all in immediate danger.

Besides, doing so much as swatting a bug is akin to murder in Final Destination. Just some food for thought.

Guess what??????? Thats right! I'm baaaaaaaack. isn't that great? ;)

f you don't know me, ym name is Milimili. I was here a couple mnoths ago or so... but now I'm back! How excitng. ♥ it'll be a pleasure to b in a class with you all agian.

IN FACT, if you;re new, u should introduce yourselfy to me!!! Or if we didnt meet or somethin. I still want to get to know everybody...

Hello Smash Academy. Hmm, I had a lot of thoughts a month or so ago, regarding the past, but what has stuck the most is that I remember how many contest I've entered. They were actually fun though, even though other contestants can get really haughty due to the competition and whatnot. [Laughs]

Anywho, I think I want to try entering one or two, but not much since I don't think I can immediately thrust into that world. Though I can't really recall if there are contests in FDC.

Hey dudes!

Who's up for a camping trip? I got the arena booked on friday and I've got a nice campground programmed in. Gotta be nicer than camping in the cold at this time of year, huh? Anyone game?

Although most of you have not given deep consideration to what is not needed in the world, surely you have throught briefly on what you might eliminate from your own lives.

I ask you to name those things.

[Some time in the evening, after this conversation, Empo decided to pay a visit to Lucas' dorm.

Just before entering, he knocked the door. Because he knows you never lock the door, Lucas.]

Hey.

[Wow. This new system sure is fancy. Voile's not really sure what she's supposed to be doing, but she does let the audio feed run normally as she leafs through a book. One can hear her turning the pages ever so carefully in the background.]

What do people here do on their birthdays?

[Come to think of it, she's not really sure what her old trainer used to do. She remembers a slice of cake with rainbow coloured frosting, but that's about it. Maybe she should go do that.]

[Do you know what time it is?

IT'S BLASTOISE TIME.

If you were fortunate enough to check out the outside areas today, you'll find a giant blue turtle entering through the gates and chilling in the courtyard for a moment.

It was a pretty long swim back to the Academy, Blastoise could tell you that for a personal fact. I mean, it wasn't a terrible swim or anything. It was just long.

And it was kind of tiring him out a bit. So yeah, he just kind of... sat his fat butt down and continued looking around, maybe ever so often shooting off a canon to try to keep himself cool.

Maybe a couple more minutes of chilling and he'd get up and actually go in or try to or something. Man was he tired.]

The seasons pass quickly. Though it is still summer, the feel has changed...

Winter in this place is mild, compared to the harsh winter of Sinnoh. Will this year bring justice? Or simply a fall of snow as time marches on?

...no, I cannot be taken from it. That most important, most beautiful thing...

The world as it is now...things never should have gone this far.

[Red's just looking at the camera with a bit of a blank stare on his face. Or it could be that he was going to post something on the network but forgot what he was going to say. Or maybe the camera makes him unable to say anything. Either way, the feed is only on for a few moments before it switches to text.]

The music blaring out everywhere was kinda weird. I hope nobody's hearing was damaged.


private to Red Team, level 1 because Red kinda forgot to put the right settings on
We haven't trained in a while. Let's do that soon. It's been a while but let's get back into the swing of things. Hope you guys kept up your training while I was gone too. I have a bunch of TMs from home too...


(( aka Red Team training log in the stadium sometimes! probably will be up sometime next week. ))

Hello, once again, Smash Academy. For those of you who haven't met me yet, I am Ivan Raidenovitch Raikov and I will be teaching Figure Drawing. You will refer to me as "Mr. Raikov." For my returning students, I hope you have been practicing while I've been away. You all know how I dislike slackers...

However, if you have kept up on your drawings, please feel free to submit any sketches to me during class. I will count them as extra credit.

Thank you.
