Daphne

My head hurts.

[Juni]

It didn't work. It doesn't make sense.

[Melinda]

Why me? I know why this thing we have started. That experiment, but... why do you still see me? Why do you still want me?

[Juni]

I need your help. I need a dress. I have an idea of what it should look like but I don't know if it's any good and there's really not a lot of time.

The days here are starting to run together. I look forward to a change.

[Captain Epsilon]

I have heard that some scientists have given their charges access to a room in which anything they desire is possible. Is this true?

[Melinda]

How are you feeling?

[Party Harry]

I would like to offer you a compromise.

[Party Harry]

I am so embarrassed.

I drank wine. Everything is fuzzy. And I'm giggling a lot. Funny.

[Party Harry]

I have a secret to tell you.

While I miss Dame Zeta very much, I have grown to like my new block quite a lot.

[Melinda]

Do you like movies?

Does anyone know how to swim? Properly swim.

I was a mermaid in Neverland, but I've still never properly swam. I'd like to learn.

[Captain Epsilon]

I know we have had our differences since my transfer into your block but... What are the chances of me getting my mermaid tail back? Just for use in the pool.

This music is quite strange.

[Melinda]

I have decided you should be punished for crashing when I told you not to. Are you prepared to accept your punishment?

I suppose it was too much to ask for after all.

It's a sad feeling when being traded off to someone new is a familiar situation.

I do not appreciate being held captive. At all. I miss the ocean.

[Harry the mermaidnapper]

I cannot even begin to describe what it will take to make this up to me. You scratched my tail.

[Mr. Iota]

I have another request.

A mermaid...

I suppose this solves my not knowing how to swim dilemma. I just hope the skill stays with me.

Though I suddenly have the urge to string pearls through my hair.

[Private; Melinda and Rowena can read]

I can do it. I've done it before, and who's to say it won't work again? They don't seem to want to hurt us, but you never know. Things could change at any moment. It makes sense for me to try. I know what I am doing. I know what to say, I know what to do. This is my life. I am good at this.

I have to try. Forgive me.

I believe I am getting a handle on this sea sickness. I smell of ginger and lemon constantly, but I've managed to stay on my feet, so I count it a success.

Should the opportunity arise to trade places between ships to be with friends and family, who among us, all of us, would take advantage of it?

Also, does anyone have a reliable cure for sea sickness?

Separated from the ones I care for again. This is becoming a pattern. A most unwelcomed one.

I'm not sure where I'm supposed to go now...

I like birthdays. I think this world is my favorite by far.

[Melinda]

I didn't think it would take this long.

How are you?

Happy Birthday indeed.

Melinda! Rowena! Juni! I believe the time has come for massive amounts of hugging and cake.

[warded against cured and afflicted]

It's loud outside. I looked out my window and saw people going down the streets. Some have signs. Should we do something?

[Rowena]

I've heard people are coming into the city... that a safe house has been set up near the fence. Are you coming, or are you going to stay in the wilds?

[against cured & afflicted]

I know how it feels to spend ones birthday in this place. Hopefully soon we will all be back in the safety of the compound and can celebrate properly.

The announcement today gave me some hope, at least.

[warded against cured]

While I applaud the efforts of those trying to fight this world... I cannot join you. It is not in my nature to fight, though I will gladly offer moral support.

[Rowena; against cured]

Horrible things have happened. Sirilla, the mother of my family, is in Azkaban. And Godric. Your friend. My "father"... He's been cured. I'm so sorry, my friend.

[warded against cured]

How could this happen! She was supposed to be safe! You said she was safe!

[Rowena; against cured]

Everything is falling apart!

[Ward against cured]

21 is not so different from 20, really.

[Rowena; against the cured]

I wish you were here.

[Juni; against the cured]

Why is it when you think something can't get any worse than it already is... It does?

[Melinda's fake family: against cured]

Please tell me you know where Melinda is. She was supposed to ward me once she was safe and no one has heard from her and I am very worried.

[Warded against cured]

[Marek]

I tried to convince her to stay, but there wasn't anything I could do. Have you heard from her? I'm so sorry. I tried.

[Melinda]

Did you make it?

[Rowena]

Today is going to be difficult. I'm sad, and worried. Melinda left the city last night. I think she did. She said she was going to, but we were put in different families so I don't know for sure.

I tried to tell her not to go but... it's not like there was anything I could actually do to stop her. And now I'm just worried. What if she got caught, or hurt, or lost, or a million other things that could have gone wrong happened?

I have had practice controlling my emotions. I hope this will not prove difficult.

[Melinda]

I'm in the city, with a family. Are you safe?

Oh sweet Merlin.

I would just like to issue a formal apology for my behavior these past few days. It was very inappropriate and should not have happened so publicly. I apologize to anyone whom I made feel uncomfortable. I would never want to make anyone feel or do things they were not completely comfortable with. I am very very sorry to any of you who felt uncomfortable with my advances.

[Melinda]

Except for you. The only thing I will apologize to you for is leaving this morning while you were still sleeping. I went to go have sex with someone else. Whatever was done during this experiment had a very strong effect on me, and I shouldn't have left without a proper goodbye. I would, however, very much like to see you again. You're very... talented, and to be perfectly honest, I want you.

[Marek]

I'm sorry for ambushing you in the shower.

[Rowena]

I owe a very special and sincere apology to you. I am so sorry, Rowena. I had no right to suggest we do what we did, though I enjoyed it thoroughly. I would understand if you were uncomfortable teaching me magic now.

[Juni]

I am so embarrassed.

The beds here are much more comfortable than back home. It makes me never want to leave them... or their occupants. Though I have only slept in the beds in my block. I wonder... Is the rest of the compound as luxurious?

[Rowena]

Are you ready?

It feels so nice to come up for air.

[Melinda]

I hope your legs stop being so wiggly soon. I'm out in the sitting room, all alone. It's quite chilly. Things are very... stiff.

[Juni]

Please do me a favor. I won't be able to make it back to my unit tonight. Could you please feed Simon this evening? I would really appreciate it.

[Rowena]

I won't be able to make it to lessons today. Or possibly tomorrow. I'm very sorry.

[Party Harry]

I found something I like to do here.

[Private]

I don't know how to feel about this world. I've never liked this day. Men always drunker and crueler than usual. Always wanting to be told we loved them. You can only lie for so long.

Are we meant to find a Valentine in this world? What happens if we don't?

This world is by strange indeed. Though not quite as strange as the moon.

What usually happens on a "Ladies Night Out?" And would any ladies be interested in having one?

I did magic today!

I have a wand now. It's so beautiful, just like everything else here. I never thought I would see such lovely things again after Astoria and I were taken from our home. But this place has far exceeded anything I ever thought I would experience. I never thought people could be this kind.

[Rowena]

Madame Ravenclaw, I believe I'm ready to begin lessons. Dame Zeta provided me with a wand. Is there anything else I need? Or should we wait until we're within normal gravity again?

[Dame Zeta]

Would it be possible for me to get a wand? Rowena Ravenclaw has offered to teach me proper magic, but I've never had a wand.

I certainly wasn't expecting this.

[Party Harry]

It is most certainly a shame there is no place to dance on the moon.

What is my journal counting down to?

I think I like it here, though I still believe this place is impossible.

[Party Harry]

Thank you for the dancing. I had a lovely time. Perhaps we could do it again some time?

[Mercy World]

Hello. I'm Daphne. I was just wondering who else from my world was here.

Look, I don't care where I am. I don't know who took me but I don't care, you have to send me back. If I don't do my job then he'll find out and he'll hurt my sister. Please, I have to protect her. I promised Mother I would. Just let me do my job.
