[Child-logic says that since he can't send it to her, and he doesn't really remember her address anyway, he'll just glue it down to his journal for his own personal amusement.]

January first...new year. Let's make this a better one then! Today's a good start already, right?

So hey, name something you want to get done in the next year, I'm curious. Me? I'm still figuring that out, I want to do a lot.

[And despite the fresh snow, Taichi's currently up in his tree house just lounging around and probably writing more postcards for his own amusement. Just in case.]

Something I want to get done? I can think of lots of things. Most importantly, I want to find a way to get everyone home.

[Added after a moment:] Everyone who wants to go home, anyway. I know lots of people would stay if they got the choice.

I think a lot of people want to find a way, even if they don't all want to leave. Why don't they want to go though?

For some people, Luceti is still a better choice than their home. Experiments aside, this place is pretty nice. Everything's free and with a few exceptions, the villagers are all great people. It's easy to make new friends here.

Then there's the residents who're determined to stay until the entire mess on this world's been fixed. I wouldn't want to leave until I'm sure there won't just be a new batch of innocent people taking our place.

I don't mind this place. Besides, some of the experiments are actually kinda funny. I wouldn't mind going home, but I guess that's not the same for everybody else.

...I didn't even think about that. That makes sense. Think that means we were just taking the place of other people?

I'm pretty sure there were already villagers here before us. Some of those weird shopkeepers must've been here for... Well... maybe decades. I'm not planning to stick around that long, though. Like I said, I want to find a way to fix things, or at least make some decent headway, this coming year.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

I don't think anybody's planning to stay that long. How long have you been here already though?

[written]

[winged-rogue.livejournal.com]

It's hard to say. When I arrived, Albert hadn't made that calendar yet. I'd say definitely more than a year and a half. Maybe almost two. How about you?

[emp3thy]

It looks like a dragon to me.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Minato. Yamato says I can't draw but I think he's just jealous.

[emp3thy]

Probably.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

I can't really hold that against him though. I am pretty awesome.

[emp3thy]

Have you ever seen him drawing?

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

...yeah, once or twice. They were okay. [That is to say, they were a lot better than Taichi's but whatever.]

[toomuchhairgel.livejournal.com]

Man, Tai, you really need to work on your handwriting.

I am not acting like a girl. Somebody has to keep this place clean. And cook, and wear a pink apron. I didn't get to choose the color!

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

My handwriting can't be that bad if you can still read what it says. And the place is totally clean, what're you talking about?

[toomuchhairgel.livejournal.com]

That line is there so you don't write on that half, you know. And it's clean 'cause I keep it clean. Why is there even a dragon on your postcard?

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yeah, I know. But she'll figure it out anyway, Sora's smart. And you keep it clean because you're a good housewife.

...well...think about it. Back home, the new year would be 2000. Year of the dragon. And besides, dragons are awesome.

[toomuchhairgel.livejournal.com]

[Puffs up like the disgruntled cat that he is.] I'm not a housewife.

... Right, we're all... in the future and stuff here. It's still weird.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Yeah, okay, sure you're not. [Totally not believing this. Ever.]

I...think we're in the future? I don't actually know, Albert's calendar doesn't really give a year. I just assume we are.

I really want to get my Beast Spirit back. And learn to control him. What are the chances of another forest fire breaking out? It's winter! And kick some Duskmon butt!

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Dude seriously, you gotta explain about this Beast Spirit stuff and Duskmon.

[pickedatrain.livejournal.com]

... I never did get around to doing that, did I? I've got the time now.

Which do you want to hear about first first?

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Probably the Beast Spirit. Duskmon can wait. So, what is it?

[pickedatrain.livejournal.com]

We ten Legendary Warriors each have a Human Spirit and a Beast Spirit. The Human Spirit looks, well, human. Mine is Agnimon, and he's the Spirit of Fire. A Human Spirit is pretty much just a human with superpowers, easy to use and control.

Beast Spirits are a little trickier. They're pretty... violent and they don't listen to reason well. They're more powerful, but it takes a lot to control them and not just lose yourself to instincts... It takes practice and a really strong will. None of us got it our fi- wait, no. Izumi was the only one that didn't rampage on us.

Er, anyway. My Beast Spirit is Vritramon... and I'm pretty sure they took him away because he could toast the whole village.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

...man, totally not fair! I mean it would suck to burn down the whole village and stuff and having to control the Beast Spirit, but it also sounds totally awesome at the same time. I mean Agumon's a good fighter and all, but sometimes I wished I could have helped him more. Do you have better control of Vritramon now though? They probably took him away for that reason, yeah. We're not allowed to be better than they are, apparently.

[And he finally pauses to breathe] ...Izumi? [Yes, he's thinking of his red-head buddy, so what.]
