Well, Noctis has hired a new girl for the bar. I'm not sure what I think of her...yet. It is usually nice to have a new face to work with, but...I'm just not sure about her. Something seems up. Well, I trust Noctis, so everything should be ok.

Speaking of Noctis, I have a little surprise waiting for him when he gets home. I've decided to cook his favorite dish, and it's been a while since I prepared it for him. I hope he likes it!

Aeris seems happy. I'm glad. Although, I have seen Cloud sulking around lately. He's visited the bar on a few occasions now and has happily drank himself into a pool of practically nonexistence. I wonder if his little mind is trying to plan something out. At least Aeris hasn't ran into him yet. I'm not sure what will happen if she does see him. Hmmm....

Shumi Business

Ok, so some cousin of NORG's decided to bring in his malfunctioning machine and turn us all into shumi!! What the hell?! So now I have to run the bar looking like a big, FAT, ugly shumi. I feel so sorry for Noctis, his self esteem seems really low now. At least all of us look like this so I guess it's the norm for now. How the hell NORG gets around in at all with this type of body mass baffles me! It takes all my energy just to go from the kitchen to the bar! I wonder if Noctis can still teleport as a shumi. Hmmm....if he can maybe he'll agree to run the front while I just stay in the kitchen for most of the shifts. It takes enough energy as it is to cook! I had no idea that shumi's prefer a totally different type of food! I've had to create temporary menus out of copypaper and some crafts from the office to suffice for this week. At least is a chance to broaden my chef skills!

On another note, Aeris seems....uncomfortable to say the least about this shumi condition. She's meeting me here in a few hours to talk about a date (wow)! I'll give her some tips.

Nice-Rack Girl!?!?!

Well, you couldn't put it any more bluntly. Obviously, as Don Corneo states, I have a nice rack! Is that implying that anyone else's "rack" is less "nice"?! Gee, I'm so flattered! I can't wait til' I get the chance to beat his ass for the second time! I have to protect Aeris and Lucy as well. Don't worry Vincent, Lucy's in good hands!

Gosh, how more obnoxious can the guy be? Does he not even remember me? Haha, well just wait....I'll smash them!

The bar is doing good. Business has been booming because of the blitzball tournament! The rematch is tonight, and we're prepared! I'm ready to get this frustration out, and the game is just the way to do it!

GAH!!!!

ALL OF THE WALLS ARE TRANSPARENT!!!! Gah! This is so frustrating! All of our neighbors can just look right in the apartment and see me! How many times can I actually glare in one day at lecherous boys trying to sneak a peek?! I'm normally laid back and carefree, but not when I'm suddenly being disrespected constantly! To my insistent requests, Noctis finally went out and bought curtains and random sheets that I used to cover our bathroom walls and especially the bedroom. I can't believe that Noctis even has the nerve to flaunt his teleportation abilities around me! He just leaves me in the dust while I'm left behind trying to grope my way around all of these walls! One doesn't realize just how many walls an apartment consists of until they're practically blind! I'm not even gonna start on how hard it is to maneuver around the mall, let alone just find the entrance! The first day, it took me a good half hour just to find the right door!

Due to my rightful anger towards Noctis, I've decided to just camp out at the bar for the rest of the week. At least this way, I don't have to worry about maneuvering anywhere when I'm already at the place I need to be. The storage room is even decked out with a bunk and table, so I'm perfectly happy here...

Blitzball

Everything's been going pretty good. The bar has been prospering since we started staying open all day and night. Just the other night I served both Sephiroth and Angeal! They seemed like they were getting along nicely, and were acting normal, which is really abnormal for them. In ways this barrier is a good thing, but I'm sure chaos is soon to happen because alot of these people that are trapped here are getting edgy. Who can blame them?

Blitzball practice is very interesting. Noctis believes that we will do great, and we must defend our title! He seems to still be looking for players to replace people, which makes me work extra hard just to prove to him that I want the best for him!

I hope we can all have fun in this blitzball tournament!

Mallboro Barriers?

Today when I tried to enter the mall, a very strange occurance happened. I felt as if I was swimming through a current of jello! I have never felt anything like it before, except maybe the one time I had entered the Lifestream. Still, that was a totally different experience but it is the only way I can closely describe it.

Anyway, I finally reached the bar and opened up. I was still a little weirded out by what had happened, but honestly I wasn't suprised. Mallboro is filled with odd occurances after all!

Cid came in shortly after I opened and informed me that it is a barrier that makes it hard for everyone to enter, but easy for us good guys to leave. However, for the bad guys, its a whole different matter. Apparantly once they are in, they can't leave! I wonder how they are going to deal with living at the mall during the night? Maybe I should talk to Noctis and I'll stay all through the night so that the bar will be open to them. I understand that they are bad, but they are still human (somewhat) and I'm sure Noctis would jump at the chance to make a little extra profit.

Great things come out of bad situations

I just ran into Aeris today! I'm so excited! After all the chaos of this past week, I'm glad something good could come out of the mess.

She seems just like her old self, and harbors no malice like I was afraid she might after all she went through. She came into the 7th Heaven this morning while job hunting, and I was so suprised to see her I dropped the plates from a table that I was cleaning up. We hugged and chatted for a while, just like old times! After I introduced her to Noctis and the rest of the crew, she seemed hesitant on leaving. Not that I would ever make her leave our bar; she's very welcome here. I invited her over to my apartment tonight to make cookies and watch movies. I hope she enjoys her time here at Mallboro, but of course its Aeris, and she always loves what's around her. Noctis seems willing to give her a job here at the 7th Heaven. I'm not sure if she'll take the job, but I'm always here to help her.

I had a great stress free night with Noctis. He seems to be happy to be back into the normal (or not so normal...it is Mallboro after all) swing of things. I noticed that he's eyeing up the Arena store. I wonder if he's thinking of leaving to establish the Arena's retail. I hope he stays, but I won't keep him from doing what he wants.

The bar seems very crowded today. I left early to get the apartment set up for our guest tonight. I'll probably stop back by the bar this afternoon to help with the lunch/dinner crowd, grab some drinks for tonight, then come back home for the night.

I'm so....

I'm so happy! Everyone defeated the snowball and Kuja, as well as all four Bahamuts!!! I'm so proud of all my friends, and especially my Noctis! I knew he would keep himself safe for me. I don't know why I was in doubt.

I submitted the order forms for the liquor and food supplies yesterday. I got a confirmation from the company and a time frame for when the shipment should arrive. By the end of this week, our sheves will be fully stocked again! I'm so relieved that everything is working it's way out. For a while there, I was getting a bit stressed.

I took the day off today. I left Raine in charge. She seems to have a lot of potential, and I can't wait until she's got all of her bartending skills down. Right now, I'm waiting for Noctis to walk through our apartment door so we can spend some well deserved, and needed, alone time together. I really do miss him; I wish he would hurry up! His favorite dinner that I cooked just for him will get cold if he takes too much longer!

I can finally breath again!

Getting back into the routine of things

So now that I know Noctis is alright, even though he's on the airship with the others to battle Kuja, I can focus on the tasks at hand that I need to worry about.

The Mall has finally grown more normal, and less chaotic. I'm thankful, and yet at the same time I feel restless. If something big was going on here, then at least I'd be distracted with some well needed action. Regardless, I need to keep up with the bar. I neglected to take inventory a couple days ago, and now it has become blatantly obvious that we are running out of liquor. Customers have started coming back again, which is good because I was afraid we were stuck in a stump and wouldn't be able to pay our bills. Bad news: We will soon run out of drinks to sell them. I still have my cooking skills, and food to prepare so hopefully we'll still be able to keep the lunch crowd.

Last night I took stock of everything, all the way down to how many salt and pepper shakers we have. I regret to inform that someone has been taking our shakers! There are six missing in total, and even though they aren't that costly I can't help but wonder who would steal shakers? Regardless, I have finally done inventory and I filled out order forms for everything we need. All I have to do is submit them via our computer. Noctis usually does all this, but I can't wait for him to get back or otherwise we won't have anything left. I refered to all his recent order forms over the past couple of months and I am sure that I did everything right.

I have the help finally back in and working. They seem very relieved to be at their duties again. I can't blame them; we all need the money during a time like this. Now, if only I can get that damned song that Rufus has playing over the sound system to shut up! It's very nerve-racking to have these people celebrating in a time when all our friends are away fighting and I can't do anything to help.

Time to hit that submit button for the order forms.

My Noctis

My Noctis finally contacted me! I'm so happy he is safe, even if he can't tell me where he is or what he's doing. I trust him; I know he won't do anything that would hurt me. At least, I'm pretty sure he contacted me....he called pretty late last night and I was insanely drunk....

I just checked the caller ID, and yes he did call! Of course! I knew my memory wasn't slippin' just yet. My head feels like it's gonna split in two because of all the shots I took last night. I'm at the bar right now, and it is completely empty. Ever since all this chaos, nooone wants to leave their safe homes. The only customer my bar has seen in the past three days is me, and I get all my drinks for free (My Noctis puts em' all on his tab). I told all the help to not even bother coming in; if I need them I'll call them.

Well, they say what cures a hangover is a new shot for a new day! I've already tried that theory early this morning....and it worked if the purpose was to get me slightly drunk again....
