This is an unexpected change of pace! For once, I am quite excited about our destination! To be honest, I have not had much opportunity to visit Erealia...

You can rest assured, captain, that I shall be on my best behavior!

My thanks to those of you who thought of me during this holiday. I am a bit embarrassed to have received such considerate gifts, however, since I cannot say I was expecting anything of value, and have nothing to offer in exchange...

I swear, however, that I shall repay each of your generosity in time. Again, I thank you.

...

... cannot help but wonder how she spilled perfume on this, though...

[ooc: Aahaha. I probably should have done this during the preliminaries, but someone requested that Leo at least make it to the finals with his dignity in tact, so...]


This is White Knight Leo! All planes, stay clear! Something is malfunctioning - how the hell did this pass inspection?! - I will be taking this craft down before the damn thing falls apart!

Repeat, all planes, stay clear of - ... oh, damn-

[At this point, the radio cuts out. There is an explosion on Leo's tampered plane, and it falls out of the sky. Thank you, saboteurs.]

[... oh, but don't worry about him. He'll be fine. He's lived through worse than this. Really.]

[See? Look, he's in good enough shape to walk away from the crash. Well... walk, hobble, same difference, right? That leg'll heal in no time.]


[ooc: And just FYI, Mamma Gkika called dibs on giving Leo medical attention. Hilarity will ensue. Expect a log soonish.]

FINE! I do not appreciate certain officers entering me in races without my consent, but you know what? Fine.

I shall show these pilots what it means to share the skies with White Knight Leo! And as for Eyeshield 21, and your vulgar, depraved bastard of a promoter, you will regret every filthy word you ever uttered on this network!

But I will not be party to your despicable game. If I find a single coin was bet on my victory, I will punish the culprit with the full extent of my power. You have been warned.

[He turns off the journal with an angry huff.]


[ooc: Leo has been topped last minute by Roy and Itou into entering the race, as a second pilot for the Victoria II. Don't bet on him, unless you want to piss him off.]

Gambling? People are betting on this race? As if all this drinking and lollygagging was not enough, you people cannot even have a plane race without indulging in gambling!

Well, I do hope you enjoy your filthy lucre while you can, for you will all be one day paying for it with your souls.

Tch!

... ow. To whoever did... that... it was not necessary. Ow.

I pray our pilots are able to completely dominate the competition in this race. Some of the things that those vile infidels have said is completely unforgivable. They deserve a good taste of humility.

Also, why does that Lorena woman still get published, when she clearly has no idea what she is talking about?

I pray the Destiny has not been assigned to patrol the Badlands as well. It bothers me to imagine such a small ship being sent into what shall likely be the beginnings of a war. If that is where you are headed, however, I trust you and the rest of the crew to keep the ship safe. My prayers are with all of you, always.

Be sure to tell the new Captain that he had better not be getting too comfortable in my chair. The Destiny is still mine in spirit. I will be her Captain again, whether it takes me a month, a year, ten years - even the rest of my life!

It is disheartening under what circumstances we must return to Bellcius, but now more than ever is the time to stand strong.

...

On another note...

[Filter: Public]

Who is the one responsible for these paper birds everywhere? These messages make no sense!

I found one sitting outside my door this morning, and someone had scrawled "More pineapples, please! :)" on it.

...

What is this supposed to mean?! Is this some sort of joke?! Or, if this was a message intended for the chef, you should have delivered it to Francis! I have no fruit to share with anyone!

[/Filter]

[ooc: My sister got that in a fortune cookie once. Trufax.]

Do you people have nothing better to do than flood the network with a deluge of your inane drivel? Honestly!

The poetry was bothersome enough to suffer through, but you would be doing everyone a favor if you spared our ears and your breath by keeping that racket you call music off the network. If we wanted to rot our minds with that sort of rubbish, we could turn on a radio!

Knock it off, now!

[He huffs indignantly.]

[Filter: Public]

I would like to extend my sincerest apologies to everyone who happened to hear my screaming on my journal a few days ago. I was not in my best state of mind. Please disregard anything I may have said during that time.

[Filter: Victoria II]

My thanks to whomever brought me to the infirmary. Unless there is a pressing need for me elsewhere, I think I may be staying here a bit longer.

I can see once again, and in case it is not obvious, I am no longer magically enraged. However, my right arm is still not moving, I cannot seem to speak, and I seem to be moving at half speed. (Which makes writing this message extremely obnoxious, I must note.)

On top of that, I seem to have sustained several injuries while I was fighting the mages. Hardly the worst I have suffered, though, and they will mend quickly. You have my word: I will be back in top condition in no time at all!

[/Filter]

[ooc: This is not an entry. Leo cannot make entries right now.

In the aftermath of the status effect plot, someone on the Victoria II may happen to find Leo...

In order, he's been Blinded, Berserked, Paralyzed in the right arm, Silenced, Slowed, and near the end it seems he triggered a final trap for Sleep. He was fighting up until that last one, and even now he's gripping his sword tightly in his left hand. He is completely unconscious and in terrible shape, but hey, he's still alive. He'll recover.

You, uh, might want to get him to the infirmary, though.]

[There's a sound of more clicks and taps, as if Leo's fingers are hitting around where the button to start recording is. His breathing is heavy enough to be heard as a faint pant.]

Can you hear me? Has this turned on yet? Damn it all to hell! How am I supposed to use this when I cannot see what I am doing?! I pray this works...

I... I believe I have taken out one of our infiltrators. However, I cannot verify this. Before the final blow was struck, somehow that damned man... he took out my sight! I cannot see anything! I do not believe I was struck in the eyes, but-

...

I hear someone else coming. If it is another infiltrator... I may be blind, but at least I still have my sword and my other senses. These villains will pay.

... forgive me if this does not filter properly. It is only by faith and memory that I can use this at all.

[More clicks and taps, and the recording ends.]

... get this out of the way before it happens again...

Attention: Yes, I am a demihuman. Yes, I have a horn on my forehead.

No, I do not appreciate people staring at it!

For the love of the goddess, I am not some kind of unicorn on display at the zoo! I am man, just like you, and I demand that I be respected as one!

Greetings, crew and passengers of the esteemed Victoria II! Allow me to introduce myself: I am Major Leo de Alkirk, former Captain of the Destiny. Recent political conditions have led to a termination of my former duties, and I have thus been reassigned as the new helmsman of this vessel.

Rest assured that the steering is in capable hands! And if there is any additional way I can be of assistance to anyone on board, do not hesitate to ask.

This Is What Leo Actually Believes

A quick guide, in case you're wondering what kind of religious nutjob Leo is, specifically. How much any character knows about this IC would depend on how much they have heard, study, and care, so you're free to decide it for yourselves.

(With the exception of the final section, aptly named The Truth. Unless you asked another deity or someone else on a higher plane of existence, the only ones who would know about that are Dyne and Ghaleon. If you'd like to try uncovering that section and proving it to Leo, please ask first; it would be a drastically character-changing revelation.)

A list of Leo's special battle techniques, specifically those from his canon and any developed specifically for TST.

As a rule of thumb, any improved techniques are more difficult to use than their predecessors.

Please note that many of these techniques sound more threatening than they actually are. Leo's magic is flashy but weak, and Earth Magic in particular tires him out quickly. You should be more afraid of his regular swordplay than anything else.

Techniques Leo has mastered will be marked with a "✓". He can use the other techniques, but unless he practices and trains them more, there will be a significant chance of him screwing it up.
