[Today Seto isn't going to really be on his journal, in fact he's feeling rather restless. After talking to Terra about training, it got him thinking that he should be prepared for anything as well, who knows? He might be drafted sooner or later and even though he doesn't exactly want to fight, he doesn't want to be weak either if he's thrown out there.

So for pretty much most of the day, Seto is going to be at the battle dome. In his room the scenario is actually going to be this pretty dark decaying room with a little bit of moon light. He's used to fighting in the dark so it's easier for him to fight like this.

If you pass by his room you may hear giggling girls or maybe even crying ladies! Don't be alarmed though, neither of those sounds will be coming from Seto. You may even be able to catch him upstairs taking a break.

After all his practice is done, which will be around 8pm or so at night, Seto can be seen either in the grocery store or on the roof top of his building just watching the sky and eating some bread.]

[The feed comes on and at first all is quiet until Seto decides to finally speak] Is anyone awake? It's so quiet tonight...

[Terra's voice startles him but he looks up and smiles brightly. Before he can get up on his feet a crouching down, but floating, lady appears facing Terra.] I-I missed one!

[As the eye in the lady's back opens, he drops the golf club and pulls out a katana from the pack on his back, running up to it. The katana runs through the eye and the woman and with a cry, she disappears] G-Got it...

[The ghost lady is a surprise, but it's still far enough away that Terra doesn't the snap-reaction need to summon his Keyblade. He watches Seto run up behind the lady and stab it from the back; it's only once the ghost is gone that Terra can see the katana Seto is now holding. That's a surprise.]

Good reaction time.

Thank you. [He tucks the katana back into the little pack and smiles up at Terra] Back home you have to be really careful, the ghosts kinda appear suddenly sometimes. Ah-did you come here to train too??

That's why I always come here. [He smiles a little, but there's a thoughtful expression making its way to his face.] I didn't know you actually fought ... ghosts.

[He gives Terra a pout, remembering the last time he ran into Terra after he finished training] Don't over work yourself, okay?

[But a faint smile appears back on his face] Well...Since everyone in my world is dead, their feelings of hatred are left behind as ghosts. At least that's what PF told me.

I'm ... pretty sure that won't ever happen again. [But he does look embarrassed about that, at least.]

Feelings of hatred? [...Wait.] What do you mean, everyone in your world is dead?

Good! [And he'll make sure he keeps to his word

Oh...had he not told Terra yet? Then again he does try to avoid telling people unless they ask or he accidently says it] ...It's like I said. Everyone in my world is dead.

[He looks understandably confused by the very idea. A world almost completely devoid of life?]

...No wonder you'd feel so alone.

I...try not to think that I'm alone. [It's better for him to think positive than negative, otherwise he would've lost his mind by now]

You probably aren't. I can't imagine a whole world being dead. Maybe very quiet, maybe in hiding... But not dead. You just need to search.

Y-Yeah...I guess you're right...[He tries to sound a bit more positive] My grandpa told me about the red tower having survivors, so maybe he was right!

Red tower? Is it an important spot in your world? [Please forgive him; worlds are kinda small where he comes from. :|]

Not really...it's just a tower in the city that glows red. It still has electricity there so I guess that's why people are attracted to it.

[It's all good, Seto's little world revolves around Japan so]

That makes sense. And it's a high point from where you could see the rest of the city. Were you heading over there?

I was but then I saw that silver haired girl...so I decided to chase after her first!

And you have to protect yourself from those ghosts all over the city while you look for her?

Yeah! [Not to mention the giant moles and the robots that are annoying as anything]

Sounds like you have to be pretty tough to survive in a world like that. [That's totally a compliment.]

[He rubs the back of his head, embarrassed] A-As long as you know how to swing a bat or something you'll be able to survive! And you have to know how to build a fire.

You think so? Those were some strange ghosts you were fighting. You would have to know how to adapt quickly to deal with them.

Uh huh! They're all pretty different when fighting. Like the crying ladies cry before they attack and the kakurenbo ghosts dance around you before they run up to kick!

[Kakurenbo? The legs? That's the conclusion Terra comes to.]

You just picked up any kind of weapon you could find?

Pretty much. Or I get something from the merchant when he comes around to trade stuff with me.

[Chicken mannn]

[He nods. He's familiar with trading and buying ... though not really for weapons.] That should really help you, if you need to protect yourself here.

Mmhm! I don't want to protect just myself...I want to protect all my friends here so I have to learn to get stronger!
