[Are you walking around the temple this fine evening? Well, lucky you! You may have seen the rare Xanth Aumeli darting from building to building. He's not usually up this late at night, but when disturbed from his slumber and placed in a new habitat, sleep is hard to come by!
Common predators include cruel teenagers and, if you've been watching what he's running from tonight, loving capybaras.
Quite alarmed by the new developments, Xanth left his artichoke and started looking around the area. That was when he noticed the dog-rat following him. He has since spent time trying to run from it.
He moves around the whole temple, sans the Capybara Stables, but he doesn't go in any buildings. Where did you find him?]

U-Um, h--hi. C-Can someone tell me w-what-- what th-this-- this i-is? E--Exactly?
[The camera pans down to reveal Xanth holding a small handgun. He's not aiming it at anything, nor is his finger even on the trigger, but the safety happens to be off.]
Th--thanks.

Has...
[Xanth takes a shaky breath.]
H-Has any--anyone s-seen Kairi l-lately...?
[He's not panicky, but by no means does he sound well. He's quiet and he sounds... distant. Like he's not quite there.]
Sh-she, uh, she's... n-not that t-tall or sh--short, sh--she's got blue eyes a-and-- and r-re-- r-- red h-hair...
S-So...
I-If you... s-see her...
T--T-Tell me? P...Please.
Th-Thanks.
((OOC: Though the log is currently incomplete, Kairi died last Sunday.))

Uhm.
I-I'm sorry for, uh, I mean-- I don't-- I've b-been making a-a lot of posts, a-and, um, sorry.
Uh! Right, well-- I, um, I'm l-looking for... a-a healer? I mean it's-- it's not an urgent thing, I-I'm-- I'm not, l-like, dying on th-the floor, b-but... I was, there was, uh.
[An extended, awkward pause.]
A-A while ago, I mean, I... got hurt. A-And, uh, i-if someone could-- maybe-- h-heal me? I, uh, could r-repay you somehow, maybe? If, uh. I had something y-you needed.
[Another pause, a quiet throat clear, and then the feed is cut.]

[Xanth sighs audibly into the comm. He sounds rather tired and certainly pained, but hey! He doesn't sound sick.]
...w-wow, uh, what-- what did I m-miss...
[It's not a question and it's half-mumbled. Then, he clears his throat and gets to the meat of this post.]
I--I hope n-not everyone is-- is sick? I-It doesn't sound l-like it b-bu-but... um... well, i-if anyone on, uh, deck ten o-or eleven or t-twelve needs something, I-I could... pr--probably help. G-Get you something, m--maybe, I-I guess.
[He doesn't want to go far in this state.
There's a small pause, but then Xanth hastily adds an afterthought:]
And-- um, K-Kairi, I--I... I'm still sorry I-I couldn't make it t-to, uh, th-the maze. I--I'll make it up t-to you!

[It's not the first time Xanth has gotten shredded and been left bleeding on the floor. But this time, he can't find the strength to do much more than drag himself to the wall. His right arm is only partially functional and his back has several long gouges in it. There's blood everywhere.
Xanth's head is spinning and his hands are shaking. Come on, come on, if he can just... reach his communicator and call for help... but it's taking him much too long.
He wonders, in the back of his mind, if he'll die again.]
((OOC: Takes place a little while after this. ♥ ))

[From down on deck thirteen, Xanth has noticed all the posts on the network making strange claims. So many more passengers? But Xanth has been on this ship long enough to realize that it's too early for that. Not to mention this is too many to be normal.
But if this is the new way Redd is going to gather new passengers, there's nothing Xanth can do about it. Might as well try to adapt.]
Uhm. H--Hello, hi. W--Welcome to th-the M.S. E--Elegante.
I-If, uh, a-anybody wants any help s-settling in, u-um... I-I'm Xanth. I-- I can help! I've b-been here a while, so... I can tell you a--a little a-about the sh--ship.
((OOC: I'm still on hiatus, guys! But I want my entries in chronological order so I'm throwing these up. Backdating will happen if you tag here! ♥))

[Xanth had been in the middle of getting some food from the buffet when the change came. Suddenly the world is so much bigger and his clothes don't fit and where is he what's happening oh no no no what's going on--]
W-what-- what's happening?
[He sounds like he's about to cry.]
((Xanth is ten years old and just above four feet tall! What fun.))

[Since his talk with Kairi and Jinx's punishment, Xanth hasn't been sleeping very well or even coming out of his room much at all. But everyone has to eat sometime, right? And look, he's even sleeping!
Except that it's probably not for the best that he's doing it out here. He's at one of the tables in the buffet, plate pushed aside to make room for his makeshift pillow of crossed arms.]

((OOC: Backdated to just after this and before punishments went up.))
[It's a hurt unlike any he's felt before. That's not to say it's the worst pain he's ever felt, but this is... different. His heart hurts.
He's on the stairs up between decks nine and eight. He's heading up to the forest to hide.]

[Xanth is sheepish today! But not apologetic.]
H--hey, uh, G... Gideon? A-Are you busy r-right now? Be-- because, uh, I was just, I was wondering if... if m-maybe y-you could... come down to S--Sergei's?
I mean, uh, you don't-- you don't have to if, you, uh, don't w-want to or if, y-you know, you're busy or... something...
Uhhh.
Y-- yeah!

[Xanth clears his throat. Awkward is rolling off this kid in waves, as usual.]
I-I was, uh, just-- I was thinking, w-wondering, m-more like -- if, uh, you...

[Hesitant pause.]
