Twenty-fifth Lotus

[The writing has odd pauses in it, it doesn't flow at the normal rhythm. But it's definitely Youth's.]

Ice cream truck has special ice cream! The. The ice cream truck does! It tastes funny, but now everything is very good.

I do not know why everyone was upset. I wrote so that if something was happening it would not make them upset. I do not know what to do if the elevator does not behave again but it finally started behaving and now I have seen the ice cream truck and I think that I prefer other types of ice cream over the special ice cream but now everything sparkles so I thought my journal should sparkle too. At least I did not try the apple ice cream.

I need to stop missing work and important people. I am sorry, Handmaiden. And Stoneface, if Stoneface is back yet.

The lelevator is a very strange thing. Elelvator. Ls look funny.

And here Bell was worrying about suffering a sparkle deficit.

Welcome back. You're in high spirits. [Oh, if only he knew.]

[spandexisyouth]

He was?

I am! I am back and I am no longer trapped!

[live_ringer]

Not in those exact words, but something like that.

Trapped, hm? So it really was an elevator abduction.

[spandexisyouth]

He is not exact very often.

I tried to say so that people would not worry but they did anyway!

[live_ringer]

He wouldn't be Bell without that bit of obfuscation.

Eh, hard to help that with all the disappearances going on.

[spandexisyouth]

That is a very big word right now.

Yes. That makes sense. But I tried!

[live_ringer]

Don't worry about it.

If it's any consolation, they might have been less worried than if you hadn't.

[spandexisyouth]

Okay.

That is good then! You have been well?

[live_ringer]

Been surviving.

How was your... trip?

[spandexisyouth]

Surviving is good!

It was very lonely. Apart from the monkeys.

[live_ringer]

...Monkeys?

[spandexisyouth]

Yes. Monkeys. Ninja monkeys. I am not making this up.

[live_ringer]

...Right.

[Still not convinced that has nothing to do with what's got him so hyper.]

[spandexisyouth]

I was stuck in a place that was familiar and was empty except for monkeys! They were all plain-looking except for one that was yellow! And they were all ninja! They were there!

[live_ringer]

All right, all right, calm down.

[spandexisyouth]

I am calm!
