Hey! I was able to get back into Mac Anu last week! Was it the same for you guys as well? :O??? The server seemed pretty empty for the most part - so maybe it was in debug mode or something? IDK. I couldn't find any of my friends, even though it said they were online. (~_~;;) I guess it's too much to expect there to ever be a totally glitch-free release, right? Anyway! I actually kind of missed the Sieben server, can you believe it? XDD I've made so many friends here! That's why I logged back into this one!

Oh! But that reminds me! Look what I found in my Mac Anu hideout! My inventory was full so I couldn't take them with me to this server, but I got a screenshot! ♪

[The camera is turned on and moves shakily as it is being adjusted and turned. It eventually focuses on a photograph of a series of 4 wooden statues sitting in a room.]

AREN'T THEY AWESOME!? DOT HACKER V2 STATUES! （〇∇〇）!!!

I'll let you all see them in person after I drop off my stuff here and go back to get them!

[The feed turns off, and Mireille changes back to text.]

Y'see. Ouka's famous as "The Divine Fist" and all of us who were members of Shugo's party are pretty famous, too...so it's not surprising to see they made statues of us (probably for an event or something? That explains why a set was delivered to me!)

...but I couldn't find a Mireille statue, though. (；´Д｀) And I definitely looked everywhere. If anyone finds one of me, I'll trade you for it! I want a complete set!!!

[Dressed in denim overalls that are hiked to her knees, Mireille can be seen wandering along the bedrock of the tiny little stream that was once Sieben's river. Not far away from where she's located are the remains of a fire and some basic tin cooking utensils and survival supplies, along with a wide assortment of mining tools.

She kneels down by the water and dips a small pan in. And then she waits. It's clear she's very focused; if she was leaning any closer, she'd probably fall right in. After a minute or so, she lifts the pan with an eager expression...

...that leaves almost as quickly as it came. She kicks the dirt a little and moves farther down along the water before repeating the cycle again.]

The last event was fun! I think I'm getting the hang of this roleplaying stuff, LOL! ☆ When I got back to the root town, I found a box of chocolates in the hut - it must be for the server-wide Valentine's day event. Huh? Is that all? No special treasure hunt? Boo, That's boring! (~、~) Do these chocolates unlock some sort of event or are the GMs just being lazy?

You know, come to think of it, the first quest I ever went on with Shugo and Rena was a Valentine's Day event, wasn't it? Admin Balmung posted the event, I remember! The first 100 players to find the treasure hidden in the garden would get super rare artifacts to "enhance their love life!" Nyahaha, we'd were in a picking frenzy, pulling up radishes left and right! ＼(>o<;) Ξ (;>o<)シ In the end, though, we were really looking for a pumpkin! XDD! It turned out to be a monster, though, and Shugo defeated it!

Our reward was a maid outfit, sailor fuku, and cat ears! Rena didn't think it was very funny and Shugo was too stunned to talk. Since neither of them seemed to want theirs, I ended up with all of them~ It was my special Valentine's gift from Shugipums~ ♥ ;D

....

I hope the others are doing okay.

[The camera is focused in a hallway of Castle Eins. You can see the young Prince Shinji's room in the foreground of the screen, the door closed (as always.) The young lady-in-waiting Mireille is seen bounding up a staircase from the end of the hallway. She seems to be in quite a hurry as she rushes towards the door, knocking on it.]

Your Highness! Yooourr Hiiiggghnesssss! Pardon the intrusion, but there's a suitor waiting for you outside~!!

[ooc: ....Y-yeah Shinji, she definitely said suitor. She basically just called you a girl. :|]

OMG! What happened last week? I was AFK and I think I missed something really big!! Rereading the posts everybody made... was there another server arena battle ...and I missed it?!

Σ(Ｔ□Ｔ)

No fairrr! I really wanted to participate! Why didn't anybody tell me it was coming up?!

I found a bunch of little glass orbs in the hut when I came back. Where they what we used to get into the battles? ....Does this mean they're rare!? (*ω*)a If so, I guess that sort of makes up for it. Still woulda liked to have fought some monsters or something though (－x－;)

Whenever she'd give me my allowance, mom would tell me that money burns holes in my pockets. My pockets seem just fine, though, so I think she's exaggerating. When I asked her if I could work part-time at Mr. Watari's shop, she seemed very excited! I'm excited too because it's really fun! I go after school and get to help stock and supply stuff!

Mom told me I shouldn't play with some of my friends because their parents are saying mean and hurtful things about us, but who am I supposed to play marbles with if I'm not allowed to play with them?

I don't get it. This war is confusing. Lots of people are getting hurt and it's scary. A boy in class said that sometimes the good guys kill the good guys or that other people who aren't involved get hurt too. I told him that was stupid: if they're both good, why would they need to hurt each other? He shrugged and said he heard it on the radio. I think he's making it up to scare us. ....We're ...still safe, aren't we? I want it to be over. I don't want my friends to get hurt. I want them to come back home.


[ooc: LOL Mireille's family. They're Japanese-Americans...but Mireille's got a very French name XD even though it's pronounced the same way as her Japanese name (Mirei) ...She seems a little more oblivious than usual this curse. Hahaha.]

Man! These last events have been weird, right?

I mean... for starters, the color glitch got fixed. About time, right? This server has been live for well over 9 months!! ┐(￣_￣;;) Then, after that they turned everything into a winter wonderland in reparation for the holidays! With a change like that, I'd have expected them to be planning a great big Christmas event....but they didn't. orz However, i had a ton of fun and got some cool new items. It's weird that they turned off spells for it though. Of course, after the snow melted, the glitch was back. Sheesh, you guys!


....

Oh, but they DID do a Secret Santa event, though! That was fun! Which reminds me.. Hey! uh, who was it again... oh right.. Jack Skellington! Mireille has a super rare gift for you! ☆ Do you want me to bring it to you, or~?

( [ OOC: Mireille's Christmas Extravaganza present list!] )

The last event was sooo awesome! Monster taming is such a cool skill! I took a bunch of pictures - I hope we get to see all those monsters implemented into the game eventually!! (＾▽＾)

So! In other news, found a pretty rare looking item in the hut - It's a glove, but there's only one! Sort of strange, don't you think? Hm~ I wonder who it belongs to... Maybe I can trade it~~ ♪

[ooc: Mireille's going to be starting something that is the staple of video gaming (i'm lookin at you, zelda games 8|) - TRADING SEQUENCES. I've contacted several other players and they're all holding the next pieces. They'll be posting over the duration of the week, with clues about their items in their posts. Have fun, Will~ I'll be popping along to provide updates as you reach new stages lol i'm a nerd.]

[Mireille is sitting in a field, with a zigzagoon on her shoulder. Her ears and tail appear to have changed to zigzagoon features as well, and her outfit has changed into one more akin to this.]

Hey you guys... have any of you see any of these Pokemon flying in the sky? [She holds up the following picture to the camera]



They're some the rarest of the rare pokemon, and I'm looking for them! If you see them or any other rare ones, please be sure let me know! I just gotta see them all in person..!! Oh yeah, and if you don't know about what's rare and what's not, I can tell you more! I've got lots more paper and a ton of crayons!

Hmm... I think we're going to go look for more berries and rare shiny pokemon now! Bye!

[ooc: orz I can't find the original image I made her cheerful icon from so I just used the icon as reference.]

[Mireille is clearly very excited and energetic... moreso than usual.]

I'm a mermaid!

I had an outfit like this during the "prom" event, except this time it's not just a mermaid-like dress - it's the real deal. The design is alot like my "prom" one, though. Normally, I think reusing event graphics is a little lame, but I'll forgive them cause this is so awesome!!

I've already found a ton of neat stuff, and when Ashura and I go hunting, I know we're gonna find even more! Has anybody seen any sunken ships or mysterious coves? We gotta make sure to check all those places out - that's where all the best treasure hides!

Hey....When the events over, we should all show the things we found, okay? It'll be fun!

[The feed clicks on to the eerie sounds of the mansion. Creaking floors, rustling fabric, the occasional scream in the distance. We then hear Mireille, doing her best spooky, ominous voice.]

A haunted mansion, full of spirits and ghouls~~!! They're lurking in the shadows, waiting for you~ They're coming..they're getting closer~ In your path and on your heels - can you hear their labored movements? Can you feel their breath down your neck? You must run away, run away... before it's too late~~~!!


...

[she breaks out laughing]

Nyaahahaha! How was that? Pretty scary, right? Looks like we're having a mansion adventure quest!! I haven't done one of these since that time Shugo and Rena and Ouka and I all went to that hidden event Ouka found!! This one's even more realistic looking than the last one..I bet the rare items are going to be awesome!

This last event took place on a new field, made to look like a city! Everyone got paired up and had to pretend to be its residents! I guess it was an event intended for RPers, huh? It's cool that CC Corp did something like that for it's players. Maybe next they'll have a gigantic treasure hunt for all the rare hunters like me! (*0*) ♪

I had lots of fun playing with my new friends Genjuro and Kiyone...but mmaaaaan... roleplaying is tough work! I don't know how you all you samurai guys do it all the time without ever slipping up! 〈(@Д@;;) I'm glad everything's back to normal now.

[Mireille, older now and dressed only slightly less eccentrically than normal, is standing by the kitchen stove and humming video game music to herself. It would appear she is cooking dinner - though what she's making is a complete mystery (especially given the wide and sort of bizarre assortment of ingredients she has out.) The kitchen itself looks like a war zone, pots and pans and a general mess all over the place.

Despite the poor state of the work space, everything seems to be going smoothly for her. She carefully reads and rereads the small cookbook on the counter top before reaching for what seems to be a bottle of wine. As she adds it to the pan, there are various sizzling and crackling noises, followed almost immediately by a large burst of flame which promptly catches her bangs on fire. She runs around frantically trying to figure out what to do, eventually grabbing the small extending hose from the sink and spraying herself down (as well as everything in a close radius of her.)

The drenched chef then cautiously moves towards the pan again, only to slips on the excess water and fall down, out of the camera's view. After a bit of silence, she begins to laugh in her normal cheerful fashion.]

This event be th' best one yet!! New areas, new outfits, a boat an' lots an' lots o' rare booty - All fer Mireille! Can we enlist our friends as crew members,too?

This map be so big an' thar's so much t' explore, 'tis hard t' know 'ere t' start! Mm, no matter! I'll go 'ere th' sea takes me! That's th' whole spirit o' the trade!

But I have a bit o' advice to ye all, cowardly landlubbers an' seafarin' heartys alike - When ye be seein' th' mast o' th' Golden Grunty glintin' in th' sun, ye had better start sayin' yer farewells t' all yer bountiful booty... it won`t be stayin' yours fer long~ Nyahahaha~!

So apparently they put a browser in-game for checking on info and stuff. It even comes with a cool upgraded market forum!






\(*A*)/

BEST. EVER.

[A loud, excited voice, from a bit of a distance.]

At first, I just thought everything on this level was huuugee but I just recently noticed that actually, I got a shape shifting ability! Seems like a lot of people got it - they must be trying out a new class? How exciting, I'm like a beta tester! Anyways I got turned into a mouse or something, probably because of the items I recieved when I joined the servers.

Ahhhh This is so awesome!!! i bet there is all sorts of treasure I can find now that I was too big to reach before! I can't wait to check out everyth-- OMG THERE'S A HUGE BEAR MONSTER OVER THERE QUICK WHERE'S MY STAFF? I'M GONNA GET SOO MUCH EXP FOR THIS!

[ ooc: ..o hai Yasha. Shes gonna try gnawing on your leg or something :|]

[Mireille seems preoccupied and a little dissapointed when she speaks]

Nope. It's no good. My flash mail isn't going through. I can't get ahold of him.


I think Matsuri managed to log out.


[A short silence, then the sound of rustling and tumbling she rolls over on her bed to the laptop, switching to text]

..Don't get me wrong - I'm glad that he was able to get out, y'know? ... But I miss him, too. ( ._.) I hope he comes back and plays with us still~!

It was sort of cool being a thief/rogue-type character for a week - and what's even better is that the items I stole are legit so I'm not cheating~ I got lots of shiny new treasures during the last event, and a new outfit! I also got this weird orange monster pet thing too! It's cute, but he won't stop crying. (＜@ロ<)＞

Even though these are technically mine now, as a rare hunter, I understand the value of ones items. So~ If I took any of your stuff and you want it back, that's okay too - we can set up a fair trade~~ ♪

[In the midst of an impending brawl between the forces of good and evil in Sieben City, a string of heists has been committed at the First Sieben Bank, Sieben Art Museum and all the surrounding small businesses - the poor guys don't get a break, do they?

It was a very elaborate set-up; preposterously dramatized. She promoted and warned them in advance about her arrival, even going so far as to appear before them on the given nights with a taunt and a grin. Even with the tip-offs, she was still was able to break in and steal the swag with minor complications.

Also, she stole Kaworu's OTHER violin, to heal her damaged pride (even though she nearly got caught in the act.) ]


Mr. Mink~~! Mr. Mink~~! Did I do a good job? \(^o^)/ Look at all the ultrarares I got!
