LOG 02-14-01
[noon. 1230 pm]
"...is this thing on... hmm... ah, yes it is."
papyrix held the recorder in their hand, unsure of what to say. "uhm... this is log 02-14-01. todays been good uh... since its my birthday and all of that."
they started to pace around the room. what was there to talk about? they did intend for this to be an audio diary, but sometimes its a bit hard to come up with things to say. "i... i got this recorder today! rus gave it to me since he didnt need to use it anymore, and i thought it would be something interesting to have! i see a lot of scary media that uses these things."
sighing, they turn to the box of chocolates on their desk, "on the other hand... midnight gave these to me. its a very... midnight gift, alright. im just going to ignore that he meant these as a romantic-type gift. i still appreciate the gesture. aria said that she will be getting her gift for me later today, casaendra is baking me a strawberry shortcake just for me, and junko is making... adjustments to my motorcycle. im... not too sure if i should be worried or not, knowing her."
papyrix put the recorder on their bedside table, and flopped onto their bed face first. they lifted their head up to allow their voice to be picked up. "...i... sorry im trying to find the words to say..."
"..."
"...i wish i could tell them. about well... everything that happened yknow? everything just feels so off and different. it makes me feel terrible that i cant tell them anything. i dont want my family to be hurt again."
they grabbed onto one of their many hello kitty stufties, "i dont want our family to be hurt again."
"..."
"right, duke?"
[five hours later. 1725 pm]
it had been raining all day, much to papyrixs enjoyment. they love being in the rain and splashing in puddles, even if it makes their heels soaking wet and uncomfortable to walk in. rus however, was not completely vibing with the rain. he walked beside papyrix with a moody expression on his face as he tried to pull his hoodie over his face the best he could. papyrix looked at him with a smile, holding their umbrella over him, "are you just going to be mopey like this all day just because of a little rain?"
"babe, you know i dont like the rain. they always turn into thunderstorms and then it gets all loud at sudden moments AND THEN i become a living lighting rod!"
papyrix looked up with a pondering expression, "i forgot about the lightning rod part."
"its alright, and besides junko forgot once as well. and um..."
"wasnt that the time where you were called "the glowing one" on the local news one day?"
"...yeah."
rus looked at papyrixs coat pocket, the top of the recorder just slightly peeking out. "you really like that thing i gave you, huh?"
papyrix nodded happily, "of course! ive been recording this whole conversation!"
"cool..." he paused for a moment. "...wait what?"
"yeah! ive been kind of using it like a diary, so id like to record various parts of my day and look back on them and feel happy!"
he looked that them, confused, "is... is that how diaries work?"
papyrix shrugged, "i dont know, ive never used one before, let alone an audio diary."
"well, no matter how you decide to 'write' your diary, ill still love it no matter what. just like how ill love you no matter what!"
they giggled, "i will love you no matter what, too."
the two held hands for the remainder of their walk.
