Justice isn't in hands of a few. Justice isn't what our leaders think it is. Justice is not about punish and suffering. Justice is about peace and fairness; a just system is the one the people has a voice and their safety is ensured. Miss Sabine, even you were involved into the butcher of so many? I...

Why would you do this?

Hatred and pain cannot bring forth justice.

The celebration in the Blue Light restored some of my joy and hope... Without Juliet and during that gloomy weekend.

J...Juliet. Would you be able to stop them with my assistance? I can shoulder your fate, but I hesitate when it comes to my own as you had doubts about the sanctity of our love.

Sir Hoyt! Tell me that you and your beloved lady didn't suffer any harm during that event! And, when you please, um... I am ready when you are.

[Coughing for the excess of steam.]

I...

I cannot breathe in this environment. Neo Verona had clear blue skies. Juliet, are you gazing upon it right now?

J...Juliet?

Brother, I don't believe we'll be able to find the... EHHH??!

[In his shock, his device falls into the ground, activating the camera. It aims at the formerly winged mare while Romeo's voice is at the background.]

[Video switch]



Is that Terra? Seems like she is Terra. But...Um. Where are her wings?

(ooc; STEAMPUNK Pegasi, Janine suggested that instead of wings they fly by ~*STEAM POWER*~).

Um... I...

I went to Juliet's room this morning to bring her the freshly iris and roses I had brought from Verona. She always liked to start early with the sweet scent of those flowers entwined in harmony. For various reasons, the white iris and the red rose weren't popular choices to mix in our home.

She...

She didn't answered my calls.

[inhales deeply and continues]

I searched for her with Cielo, shouting her name at the sky... My apologies if I disturbed you with my searching until I visited the Hall. Her portrait features into the gallery of many faces of those who have left.

While I mourned her departure... I...

I know she is still with me! We made an oath, in life and in death, and despite the obstacles and distances between us, we'll be together eternally. Even though, I won't be able to hold her close or see her smiling face every day, I know she's next to me: the scent of the irises would never leave me nor the love I feel for the world, any world, I have been honored to spend my days next to her shan't ever fade. That's the joy of love!

O...One day, we will meet again because of our exchanged vow.

(ooc; Because Juliet's journal didn't show up in remove July list I wasn't sure if the character was dropped or not; Janine and I are assuming she "left" last night)

E-EHHH?!

[ The video flickers to show Romeo hanging upside down from the ceiling of the Firehouse, hovering over rosebuds, tightly held by morning glory and sweet peas. The vines are draped into his ankles and knees. He tries to swing away from the roses and their waiting thorns, keeping them away by wielding the garden scissors he's carrying. ]

I...

-I wouldn't leave to fly with Cielo today. You have my word. N...Now, I ask you, to set me down to converse about this.


(ooc; Dinner out placeholderish!)

I...um...Forgive me, brother... Juliet... I tried to resist the compelling urge, but I'm unable to fight against it anymore.

I am ashamed by how easily my weak will falters.

I...

[Strained]

I want to... play...

T-Truth o-or Dare?

[Sigh]

I said that.

Enough, father! Enough!! [Pause, voice slightly saddened] I forsook you once, denounced I was no son of yours, I wielded the sword to stop you, but what good did that brought?

J...Juliet...

Juliet was right to toss her sword down at your feet. The strife ended and peace... [Surprised] Ehhh?? You no longer wish to harm her. I remember when you admitted defeat... The Escalus? Was that what you sought to know? I...

I...

[Rustle of clothes]

Look at me, father, at my side. The Escalus branch ended my life, but after our battle ended, Juliet was able to save us all!! The fate of Neo Verona was no longer sustained by the root of suffering! I promised to shoulder that fate of hers and now we preserve it in the joy of love! There wouldn't be sacrifices or tears to make the soil fertile. Are you glad about the news, father? The ruthless Arch Duke wanted to stop the Escalus? ...Um.

...How did you know about the Escalus? You died so suddenly without telling me none of your reasons. Why did you fear to love? Father. Why did you hide behind a sword and committed your life to the worship of empty greed?

(ooc; THIS IS BEFORE THE PLAY).

I...

I hope that everyone enjoyed the irises last week and nobody had allergies over them. We weren't mean to hurt anybody when our goal was to lift the good spirits!!

The shooting stars spectacle was more impressive than our modest rain. They adorned the sky with an intensity no firework could match! I was transfixed by that beauty. I never noticed how startling stargazing was in Neo Verona, but my interest in the sky was mostly during daylight and I spent my nights in the Keep; that was before I realize the soil needed my undivided antention more than the endless above. I was told we are supposed to make a wish upon them as they fall down, but all the wishes of my heart were already granted and I would not waste a star over selfish longings when others surely had more pending needs. I couldn't be more content with Juliet and my brother enjoying our days with the friends we made in this city.

Miss Rosella, Sir Todd, when would you find convenient to gather around and practice our lines again? I know that Miss Rosella has to practice for that dancing contest Blue is hosting in two weeks. Juliet! Juliet! Listen! Sir Blue has kindly offered to teach us that style of ballroom dancing called swing. Would you like to take up his offer? I am excited to learn something new!

Um...

Did anybody else smelled something burning inside the Opera Abandoned last night? I didn't think the smoke was coming from the kitchen.

S... Stay, gentle Helena; hear my excuse:
My love, my life my soul, fair Helena!!

The claims of affections are easier to announce than the deride towards fair Hermia... I wonder why did Lysander was so cruel towards the woman he truly loved with all his heart? If magic made him fall in love with Helena, why must he dislike Hermia? No kinship or friendship he could have hold in its place?

Um...

I...
I still need to learn my closing lines.

May is ending and spring is soon-to-be summer. Perhaps a last farewell must be done soon to celebrate the joy of flowers! We had the Flower Festival in Neo Verona! Do you still celebrate it, brother? The grand parades, the fireworks, the lovers meetings under the blossoming balconies of the gardens.

Shin. May I have a word with you? I have a favor to ask of you, my young friend.

[Filtered from Haru]

Excuse me, please, does anybody know where this man lives? I want to deliver a homemade bouquet of hawthorn to him. The... the Flower of Hope to have patience for his beloved's return.

(ooc; Laura mun: Today was the Greenhouse visit right? Go ahead and assume what happened :) ? Including the flower she chose?)

Sir Ambrose! Blue has told me of your predicament in cleaning the palace by yourself, if you still need a pair of able hands to aid you in the task, I volunteer my own! Um... I have learned to sweep off the floor during my time of exile from Neo Verona and that makes me feel accomplished as someone born in the unnecessary luxury of the noble class.

The days of gloom and ferocious hair creatures look distant by today, with the happy outcome from that horrible episode, my heart feels more... at peace? Not completely, I was shaken when people of the Opera Abandoned were attacked... Content. I cannot speak ill of all days of past week, because admist that fearsome curse the City struck us, the noble iris bloomed in the fields and within our houses. It was everywhere! Juliet and I were enchanted by its scent and my mind distracted itself by the bliss of a play about love.

But I...

I wonder after reading the script: Does Demetrius returns Helena's candid love? Or is he just under a spell? How is that fair for the two of them? I celebrate Hermia's and Lysander's triumph, but I worry about the other couple's future. Can love based on magic last?

Perhaps... it wasn't the writer's intent for me to question. But it's about love a joy too great for me to not talk about.

Caspian, my friend, I hope you have enjoyed yourself in your first flight. I was glad to be in your company again! It has passed a while since we were brothers-on-canvas.

...Ehhh?? How were we supposed to dress these yesterday? I was tangled with the sleeves... Why were there two openings? The shoewear was intimidating to don, too. I wish I would have been stronger to join the festivities but I didn't know how to properly wear the robes.

I could read in the Network the occasion was a holiday celebrated by some of our fellow citizens, um... I wonder if the City would ever decorate in honor of the Flower Festival. I miss the natural beauty of the parade of flower carriages and the token presents from lovers who share the same blossom. That was when Juliet and I...

...Juliet and I first kissed under the bright colors of the fireworks.

Speak of clandestine lovers, Juliet! Miss Rosella is playing the role of Helena and a friend of hers is playing Demetrius. I have asked Princess Rue about permission for us all to rehearse our lines in the privacy of one of the rooms of Opera Abandoned and she has acceded as long she does not have to hear it... How peculiar that her semblance darkened at the mention of the play's name, when they are able to join us. Have you spoken with your Demetrius, Miss Rosella? What day and time should we wait for you?

The mounted duel didn't go as well. I... I never rode one of those horses before... To have to fight on an animal over solid ground was unexpectedly new.

It hurts.

I...

The sudden warmth, the steady beat in my heart, I don't understand... I don't know how should I feel. I have been dead for a time and I was used to it.

Juliet. Tell me that your heart is beating as mine and that your lips are rosy and warm. If you remain dead while I was granted this life...

(ooc: Bed tiemz! Picked up when I wake up).

When I see people today, living in harmony, and preaching about love makes me wish this weren't because they were cursed to give the joy of love a chance... Um... It...

It cheapens our feelings when we decide to try this by our own choices. Would they hate today when the curse ends or would they give a chance to embrace this lifestyle: one with the nature and the people who live in the world. Is this how Neo Verona has learned to live, brother?

I am struggling to understand what they are saying. Ehhh?? Several have questioned my willingness get "blitzed" or "loaded" with them and I... I don't think we share the same meaning of the words they are employing.

Juliet! There is something I have to ask of you. Have you seen the advertising for Lady Blair's new event?

I have ever experienced something as that before. When I was younger, my father assigned tutors took care of my studies and, except for occasionally the company of my good friend Benvolio, I was alone during my lessons. There are institutions and academies for higher education purposes like medical or accountants in Neo Verona, but this was completely different. Um... Is this "high school" present in everyone's homes? Is it exactly as the City version?

Ohh, and I... I'm grateful for the ladies' help in choosing a present for Juliet before the dance. Blue I owe you as well for playing for us.

Lady Ino! Come forth the Opera Abandoned! I have readied Cielo and Terra already. Juliet? Brother? Are we ready for our flight?

The duel was canceled, was it not? I do not understand senseless violence thrills.

[Miss Saya, Hagi and Sir Solomon//hard to hack]

I heard about the incident! How are you? Lady Ino said that you are no longer injured.

(ooc; ASSUME it was posted earlier. Comment log for the Capulet clan >D).

Um... I don't believe I did well in Chemistry. Why do I still feel nervous about failing? My father doesn't tolerate any mistakes from his appointed heir Tybalt, I envy your freedom with my talented cousin always vying for my position in the family. Honestly I don't think I'll like to follow his steps in my life. I've seen how he treats those who work for him.

Juliet, I... If you have no one else if you don't mind being seen with a Montague if we can forget for a night and be just Juliet and Romeo for one night, I would- Ma-May I ask you about... your exams?

[Filtered from Juliet]

I would like to give a present to a special person during the dance and I have always given her flowers! What else could I do for her to show my appreciation for her company?

[Blair]

This can't be! I was immersed in my studies and I avoided Internet! How are you? Are you all right, Lady Blair?

(ooc; Westerberg High's star crossed lovers "secret" golden couple: Romeo and Juliet STILL caught in an impossible love).

I...

I read something very interesting in the City Library yesterday. I was looking for plays about hope, love and faith as theme, but um... I found a book of quotes instead. I forgot who said this one, I don't recognize the names signed but I thought it was proper, brother, Juliet, for us and for Neo Verona: "Fate is for those too weak to determine their own destiny."

After knowing the results of that road we didn't walk on, I think I'm grateful for the destiny we forged with our tears and our blood. I thank you, Tybalt, for telling me about Juliet's connection with the Escalus and I thank you, Juliet, for listen to my cries and waking from that dreaded slumber. I am thankful and I don't regret to know my heart doesn't beat or that my lungs don't need air unless I speak, for now I can see your smile eternally while we look after Neo Verona together.

Y-Yesterday was a bloodbath once more... I...I could only watch helplessly as the events unfold themselves... My hands weren't able to...

Ehhh?? Welcome to Verona! Um... Where are you, sir?

I could swear I heard a voice.

(ooc; Is that fine, Jade? BED. Will pick up in the morning).

It was a pleasure to meet your friend Ellington, Blue. His appearance is queer and yet he's a pleasant tempered er--squid? I'm not certain of his nature. Who did you say his father was?

Most importantly, I've witnessing the snow of winder already melting and the flowers blooming in the open gardens. I love working in the Greenhouse (I've agreed with Juliet and my brother to finally baptize it properly as Verona), but the sight of endless green and fragrant flowers growing outside a dome is far more beautiful to behold!! We're very fortunate that spring is coming so soon and we're still alive to see its blossoming beauty.

Speaking of this, Lady Ino was interested to fly on a pegasus. Would you mind to take her with you one day, Tybalt? I was thinking we could go into an outgoing later, after springtime arrives, together the four of us: Juliet and I on Cielo and Lady Ino and yourself mounting Terra. What do you think? Do you like the idea, Juliet?

[Caspian]

Would you mind if Juliet joined us in our painting sessions, my friend? Um... I commented her about this hobby of ours and she's looking forward to learn the art herself.

(ooc; Mya, if you want Juliet be beside Romeo for comment log, go ahead :3 BACK ).

Juliet. [Loving whisper] You are finally free. No longer you’ll have to bear a cruel fate. You don’t have to suffer anymore. Rest now for a while.

[Dramatic pause!]

The world only exists because of the people who live in it!!

[So our valiant hero charges into an innocent Xanadu tree Ophelia!]

I recall the makings of this festival fondly last year. It was dark for two days and there were wondrous sights and a parade! I'm not certain it fell in the same date. Juliet was still with me. It's a real kindness this event came after the consecutive curses to lift the people's spirits. Juliet! Brother! Let's attend to the square later tonight. If the show is anything as last year, I know the spectacle is marvelous to witness.

Um. I believe I would pass in sampling those "mooncakes" that were offered freely during last one. A few bites made my body glow in a phosphorescent light that stung my eyes. There must be something else we can dine today.

I still ignore the meaning behind this celebration. Maybe someone please enlighten me? Holidays and special dates of other cultures are truly fascinating to learn!

(ooc; Bed. Brb :( ).

SHE'S HERE! JULIET IS HERE!! AS IS MY BROTHER!!
We are reunited again. Like we were months ago.

I... Um.

I apologize to neglect contact past two days, but the unexpected arrivals caught me by surprise. I-I hope my eagerness to invite them inside the Opera House isn't rude, but if any of the residents have something to say about it, I would understand. It's cold outside and their quarters are ready.

It's like a dream that once more I'm immersed in.

Lady Blair had explained me that Valentine's Day is the celebration of the joy that is love and is the day shared between lovers everywhere. How wonderful! A day about love! I thank the Goddess' blessing to bring Juliet to my arms again and to have Tybalt join us.

Brother, Juliet, tomorrow I would show you the Greenhouse that my good friends helped me to build. It remains nameless. I want you to help me to baptize it. A proper name for the blossoms that endure the cruel weather and bloom to bring beauty to the City.

(ooc; I'm back XD).
