Here will be the HMD post for Grell. Comment screening and anon posting are on.

Comments and critique welcome. Help me play her to the best of my ability!

And have a good day.

Got any salacious rumours, complete untruths, or secret truths you'd like to be brought up in the monthly gossip post? Send them here, and watch them show up on the Vine for all to see~

Dearest Spherians,

When one has wonderful news, naturally they go and share it with their friends, do they not? And since you are my-or should I say our?-friends, it is only fitting that the news be broken to you through this, the easiest form of communication.

Ben and I are going to be married, and you are invited to the wedding when it does occur.

Seems like we’re all returning back to who we used to be-or at the least, meeting up with them again. I might as well throw in my own thoughts on the matter.

I used to hate myself. Absolutely, utterly, with all the bitterness one gives their worst enemy. I judged the past based on the fragments of a life I saw, devoid of context, of reason. The past and the future continuously clashed, and I had no clue of how to comprehend it. In blindness, I began to hate, and turned my back fully upon that one I saw, the one who did horrible things and was nothing but an alien to my view. Viewed over time, it was perhaps the best choice lest I fall to-as Brianna once put it-"the dark side".

But I have met that stranger again, and we have laid down our weapons to instead perhaps form a truce. It was not easy to accept what has happened, and yet I understand her now. I know why she did what she did, understanding on a level greater than empathy. I cannot condone her, but I cannot condemn her.

Yet I am not the naive one who was placed here, nor am I the one from before. A time over two years has carried the weight of twenty, and confidently I can say I have changed. Friendship, love, trust, hope...as cliché as it sounds, those were unknown to me before then, on realms other than the superficial. My position in my realm prevented me from feeling those.

I was a grim reaper of the afterlife. One meant to collect, guard, and judge souls before they moved on. And even though there’s no real call for that line of work here...I think I still am one, just with a new duty to do and a new purpose to find.

Edensphere has been my home. I cannot return to my realm for good knowing the price I would have to pay to stay there. So Edensphere shall continue to be what it has been, a sanctuary and a teacher in one, unless there is a way to visit and return.

We’re all thanking everyone, and I add to that-for everyone that has touched my life, you have done more than you ever shall know.

[She writes out the name below slowly before slashing it out.]

Officer Grell Sutcliffe

[Then she writes beneath it.]

Juliet Sutcliffe

Black, Rabbit? I have a slight question for you two.

[The writing is then much more forceful.]

Did either of you think it was funny to cut my hair off?

[ooc: back to this morning~ For the fanservice event, Juliet has been afflicted with a combo of this outfit and this shorter hairstyle because I find short hair Sutcliffe amazing. Using icons from the OVA to showcase this.]

Seven hundred and thirty.

I never thought the count would get this high, nor see what has happened happen.

Before you start getting worried, if that's your style, I'll say this-this is something positive, so please don't be upset.

Of course, there have been interruptions, and most of the numbers blur into one, but occasionally it serves well to pull one out of the count for consideration. But mainly, they keep their records, I keep mine, and we're content to let that be.

Just the reflections of a mind this morning.

[ooc: Starting from this comment, all further ones in that thread have been struck out.]

[backdated to this morning]

...Enough is enough. I've tolerated everything else for weeks, I will not have some stupid sign on me. Will burning it be enough of a statement? I dearly hope so.

[ooc: postdated to after the chocobo crazies]

Well, that was interesting, for lack of better words.

All the birds-I'm told they are "chocobos"?-are out of the spa now, and clean up can begin.

Reign was extraordinarily helpful in getting them out and minimizing the damage done. After consideration, we have gotten together and given him our nomination for supervisor.

So, congratulations, Reign. ♥

Well, what a fascinating group of residents. Who can tell what the outcome will be? Mystery always makes these things better~♥

[after a moment, here goes a short list of names of those who work at the Spa, mainly NPCs but with Rauxes, Rain, and Castor's names as well.]

Is everyone going to be alright?

Going about your routine even today...why am I not surprised. Maybe you forgot, or haven't noticed yet.

Regardless, Black, tell me when you get a few free moments today. ♥

[ooc: backdate to this morning.]

I did not put this on. I cannot get it off.

What tricks are we now being subjected to?

what does it mean

pretty though

some sort of metaphor?

Really, Tree. You could have been more civil about this. It's too early in the day for anything to remotely be as such. So distasteful.

Asuka, the offer I made a while back still stands.

A warm welcome to all the newborns so far. I am sorry I haven't had the time to say hello individually. I hope you find Edensphere a decent place.

[ooc: This morning Juliet was greeted at the shop by a puppet that looked like this. And promptly freaked out. Possibly screaming while bashing it to pieces, people who might be nearby are free to have heard that.]

[pentaps, then a long long pause. Strikes not as fast as Juliet's normally are. Also, writing hands have been switched.]

I knew something would happen. I just didn't expect this.

We can't catch a break, it feels like.

how is my face a dead woman's

[ooc: currently turned into Angelina Durless aka Madame Red. Yay. He's so not happy.]

Am I the only one who is inclined to believe these new ears are supposed to mean something? Perhaps it's just reading a bit too deeply into it, but I can't shake the feeling.

At least they're cute.
