I haven't seen them around the institute, but I was wondering, has anyone seen some friends of mine? They might have beat me here and I just haven't found them yet. If anyone's seen them, I'd really appreciate it if you let me know!

There's Kuro-nyan first, he's really tall with spiky black hair.
Syaoran is about fifteen with dark brown hair and eyes. He likes to wear goggles.
Sakura is about the same age and very pretty! She's sweet and nice too.
I lost my stuffed animal Mokona too. It was really important to me, so if you find it, I really miss it, yeah? It's round and white with a red jewel on it's head and a face like this: ^_^

Also... if someone could explain this "under-age" business... it seems a little silly to me. I could understand it for some things, but even what you drink? Where's the fun in that?

Oh! And the nice person I met on the bus, I'd really like to talk to you a little more about what we had been discussing. If you have any more information on that subject, I'd be interested to hear it!

ps - Did everyone I had club with have ok dreams? I hope none of them were too scary. It's enough to make you afraid of the dark!

Anyone under 21 isn't allowed alcohol. It's the law.

Well that's a really silly law! Why would they do something like that? Besides, I'm over 21!

Because a lot of teenagers were getting into a lot of trouble while drunk.

Unless you have an ID to prove it, I don't think anyone can serve you alcohol.

Trouble? Well that's not fair that a few people had to ruin it for all of us.

They don't have to serve me, I can mix them myself. But how do I get an ID anyway?

Laws don't always seem fair, but they're in place for a reason.

If this is a normal town, with normal zoning laws, no you can't. That's not allowed, either. And you get an ID by registering with the DMV with your birth certificate and social security card.

That sounds so boring though. :(

It wasn't like this at all in Outo. All we had to do to register was pick a name and what sort of work we wanted. They didn't care if we were of a certain age or had that other stuff. I don't even know what most of that is. ID? DMV? What's Social Security? I'm not even sure how to pronounce half of it, seriously, who would need that much pointless paperwork?

Yeah, well, that's life. It sucks sometmes.

This is... here. And 'here' for all intents and purposes looks like Mid-Western America. so that's how things go.

An ID is an identification card, it has your picture and name and date of birth on it. To prove you're who you say you are, and how old you are. The government gives them out, and you need a birth certificate and social security card to prove you're who you say you are, and to prove the information you're giving is correct. A social security card is something you get when you're born, with your social security number on it.

It's just how things work here, okay?

Never would have guessed.

You guys must have a lot of trouble with stolen identities or something. Still, I guess all you'd have to do to pretend to be someone else here is take away all those papers. It's kind of sad that without a few pieces of paper you can hardly even say that you exist, don't you think?

It's really only for official reasons. Getting a job, buying certain controlled substances, opening a bank account....

Of course there's more than just papers to say we exist. Everything we've done and everyone we've met is proof that we exist.

Since we're all crazy, I guess we don't really need one then. Though a drink would sure be nice.

Even if the papers say otherwise? I'm supposed to be a boy named Robin Cross, which is most definitely not me. And I wouldn't doubt they have a lot of paper there to prove it. And with none of the people I've met before Landel's being here, nor proof of anything I've done, it makes it fairly difficult to present a case, don't you think?

Well, that's... that's a completely different situation....

Hmm... I guess so. I'm sure they'll show up eventually though. Then I can be who I say I am, right? ;)

You don't need papers to know who you are. You just are.

It wouldn't be so bad to be someone else though, would it?

I'd rather be me than be someone else.

Maybe you are? Those papers say so, don't they? Maybe we really are just a bunch of crazies haha... They've got us all pretty good from what I can tell.

I haven't seen any papers that say anything. But I know who I am.

Alright, no need to be upset. I'm sure this'll all get sorted out. ♥

I'm sorry. I'm not upset at you. Just at my current situation.

I think we can all understand that. :) I've not been here long, but I think I can still sympathize. Not the funnest of situations.

No, I haven't been here for long, either. It seems like not many people have been here for very long at all, actually.

I wonder....

Oh yeah? Hm... I wonder who has been here the longest, what're you wondering? ;)

And how long that's been.

Nothing important, really. Just thinking. Or trying to think, at least.

Exactly. That would be nice to know.

Hmm... well, I wish you luck with your brainstorming! I'm sure with all the skilled and intelligent people here, it won't be long before someone comes up with something, right? ♥

Someone has to.

I don't think I'll get very far, but thanks. I guess we can only hope.
