Mephiles the Dark (Sega)

[Hurr, this journal is now being USED somewhere, isn't that amazing? :| Now used for Station Square. Not like I can do anything with the now-defunct Econtra anyway. So, yeah, IF YOU'RE STILL WATCHING THIS, YOU SHOULD PROBABLY STOP.]

...Bah. These Humans and their holidays. Most of them are pointless now, have lost their original meanings or have been created for commercialism and trying to find reasons to--what, celebrate? Or just get a day off of working?

Holidays used to belong to the gods. Can anyone say what Saint Valentine did? No. Nobody knows. And the meaning was adjusted over the centuries. What happened to the great feasts, to drunken, happy men proclaiming their loyalty to their gods? Gone are the days when those above take pride in their followers.



...And who are these people in these quarters? I had this whole building to myself when I got here, and now even my own room is cramped.

No respect for the gods, I say. Pity.

*at first, nothing but the crunching of snow underfoot is to be heard, then...*

( lyrics under cut )

Oh my, have I hit a sore spot or three?

Ha. Perhaps if this place gave me something better to do...though I cannot think of anything better at the moment. Beyond returning home.

...Damnation, will anything other than these amusing (however tiring they are growing) antics ever occur?

((Have a link~))

...One minor technological glitch, and this place falls to pieces. Tch.

The cuffs going offline would be such ironic humor for me at this rate.

You can stop hiding now, little girl; I know you exist within the confines of this realm. Tsk tsk, Shadow, did you really think you could keep me from finding out?

((You can all blame Sonic for that last one. :P))

What is this infernal device?!

There is one who claims he knows me--instead of the apparent other way around it is with myself and Shadow. How intriguing. I may have to look into this.

Ghosts from the past, one might say. Now I wonder, will I run into that machine as well?

Such a shame, such a mighty shame that Shadow forgets me! After all I've done for him...

((Yes, Mephy realizes that there is every possibility that Shadow is not from his world. Is that going to STOP him, tho~? ;P))

I have wandered this hallway long enough. The doors are, for the most part, unlocked--not that that could have stopped me before, mind you. But I appear to be one of the only occupants in this particular building. Perhaps it is time I voyaged outside of these walls in search of the reason.

Oh, yes, of course I know the reason why am I here. I cannot understand why I am not merely pointed in the direction of these invaders so I may deal with them swiftly and easily so that I may be just as swiftly returned to my rightful place. It would be the only reason for fighting, as I care little for this world or to follow the orders of others.

I am...curious, however. It has been a long time since I have seen so many people gathered in one place. And where is my other half? This world has not been cleansed by the sacred fire of Iblis. It remains unscarred--this particular area, at any rate. Should my power be lost in the future? No! There is no one to rise up, and there never will! I shall rule for 200 years, 2000 years, however long I choose. I must now merely return--I seem, however, unable to use my power to slip between times... How troublesome.

Now, where is my dear, darling Shadow~? I would like him at his proper place...
