Subject: Overview
Additional Rules of the Situation:

{So, that's the giant.
Tiamat who formed all things,
Made in addition weapons invincible; she spawned monster-serpents,
Sharp of tooth, and merciless of fang;
With poison, instead of blood, she filled their bodies.
Fierce monster-vipers she clothed with terror,
With splendor she decked them, she made them of lofty stature.
Whoever beheld them, terror overcame him,
Their bodies reared up and none could withstand their attack.}
Interesting.

Subject: Initial Overview
Rules of the Situation:
- Magic and other superhuman abilities are permitted at a reduced potency.
- Escape by physical or supernatural means has been restricted if not outright sealed.
- The normal laws of physics seem to apply.
Realities:
- A giant creature and several smaller creatures serve as an impromptu network of guards against escape.
- The smaller creatures periodically harass residents; the giant one lays dormant until disturbed.
- The giant creature is said to be natural; will have to verify.
- Physical isolation is enforced, not natural; boats can most likely traverse the water if not for the giant creature. Birds can fly freely.
- Humans are present, not Manikins.
- Demons of the commonly recognized clans are not present.
- Thor nor the Seraphs seem to hold any sway here, nor do the other Fiends. Kagutsuchi is also absent.
- The Gaian Cult and Messian Church have no presence here.
- The world seems mostly intact; there is rubble, at the very least.
- The world seems very similar to the world before the Conception. The monster is the only identifiable discrepancy.
- All continuities seem to have a connection here.
Conclusions:
- This world is very likely still connected to Amala.
- This is not a Vortex World.
- This is potentially a world created according to some Reason that restricts supernatural power.
- Whatever force or being trapping us here is testing our response to various stresses.
- That force is most likely neither the Great Will nor Lucifer.
Special Subject: Zero
Realities:
- Claims the beginning of a new era.
- Seeks to inflame the populace into rising up against our oppressors.
- Is confident in success against an enemy that has no known identity, let alone capability.
- Is playing upon our sympathy for others, resentment for our own situation, and desire to exercise free will.
- Is proceeding very methodically.
Conclusions:
- Zero holds a great deal of similarity with Lucifer.
- Zero has no allegiance to either side of the larger conflict.
- Zero might or might not prove loyal to those who align with him.
- Zero is potentially dangerous.
- Zero must be watched very carefully.
- Zero may be an excellent ally.

Journal Entry #1: Introduction
Jan. 1st, 2009 08:53 pmSpecial OOC Comment: As I've done in previous posts, text in {curly braces} is in Japanese. Unless your character actually knows Japanese, they will not understand that text.
Hello. Is name Kashima Naoki. New arrive to America, and not so good in English class. I ask Mr. Everyone, what is best in life?
((ooc comment: Yes, if someone wants to quote Ghengis Khan via Conan the Barbarian, they're welcome to do so. Naoki won't get it, though. He'll think you're being serious.))
{For those who can read Japanese: I'm sorry for my horrible English; I probably should have studied harder. Either way, I'm a new arrival here in America, trapped like everyone else. What I mean to ask is what people around here consider to be the foremost ideal of human society. It's a small hobby of mine to find out what people think.
Another hobby of mine is strategy and puzzle games. If anyone wants to play chess, go, or anything else like that, I could certainly use the distraction; I'm in the Mansfield Hotel, under the care of Usagi Tsukino (I arrived here badly injured, and I'm probably not going to be able to leave for another day or two) and under the glare of Minako Aino. I'm borrowing one of the computers around here for the time being.
Oh, and if anyone is able to tutor me and help me speak better English, I'll repay you however I can.}
