Hello again. It rained all day today.

I hate the rain. I hate how it oppresses me. Driving my motivation and joy down into the muck it makes. It makes the sky grim and the earth surly. My fire is trapped, pushed down deep inside me when it rains.

It feels like I am being tied down. Like then is a stone on my chest, and with every raindrop it gets heavier and heavier. Until it crushes me.

My head aches when it rains. I smell things that aren't there. See blurry faces looking at me from the sheets of falling water.

I haunts me.

I hate it.

I can't move as I like. I can't make my flames dance, or a smile come to my face.

When it rains I just want to sleep, somewhere dark and warm, until the rain goes away. Until the pain goes away. Until the faces stop looking at me.

Hiya Mr. Book!!! Lena here!

I don't get what big bro is so huffy about. Its just a little rain!

Well, its actualy a lot of rain. Big lovely drops of happy little friends from the sky!

I love the rain!

When its raining all the mister and missus froggys come out, and there are so many puddles to explore and jump into! I like to try and make the biggest splash possible. Ah! But I don't use my ripples! That'd be cheating!

And cheaters are never winners!

Well, thats what big bro tells me. Big sis Onica says that you are only cheating if you're caught!

I found a big fat squirmy worm floating in a puddle. Poor little fella tried to go for a swim and never learned how! I put him in my pocket for safe keeping.

This big froggy with super cool blue eyes and orange skin tried to climb me. I'm not a tree! Silly froggy.

Big sis Onica took him off of me. She had on some cool gloves and was veeeeery gentle. I bet she didn't want to scare mister froggy. Big sis is so nice!

Big sis has such a beautiful smile! She shows me it whenever I bring her especially bright and colorful froggys and bugs.

I wonder what she does with them.

Julius is as mopey as big bro today. He doesn't like getting his fur all wet. So I was playing with big sis and Fen all day.

Fen likes snails. He says something about their shells being perfect spirals. They are kinda cool I guess. I wish they had more colors though.

Fen makes really cool shapes and forms from the rain. He uses the air to guide and push the rain into whatever shape he wants. I can do the same, but where my designs are made of water, his are made from the exclusion of water. It adds a weird feeling of nuh-uh to his stuff. So its super cool.

He likes showing off.

Big bro and Julius have been inside the Ivers Dream all day.

Its shaped like a woman today. But she is kneeling down and bowing her head. Her hands are covering her face, and big bro left the top and inside of her head open and hollow. So water constantly fills her head and flows from her eyes under her hands.

She looks sad, and I don't like it.

Big bro was too busy pouting inside the sad lady that he forgot to lock up Mr. Book today.

So I took you and am writing this as punishment for making the lady cry.

Big bro knows better than that.

Its dinner time now. So I gotta put you back.

Bye-bye Mr. Book!
