10:09 pm	Guuuuuess whose 45th birthday is coming up? Why, mine of course! Only a few days before Halloween. (Oh how I love Halloween. All those cute kids in costume... Maybe I'll dress up this year!) ...I completely forgot I had this damned journal, can you believe it? Well I've been rather busy lately... Hm, I need some new icons. Edit: Okay, a friend of mine made me some icons! Wonderful. Current Mood: devious (Comment on this)

12:24 am	Well, I haven't posted here in forever... I suppose there just isn't much to say. My life has been unpleasantly uneventful... Ivy hasn't been herself at all. She started a little story but didn't get much done. (Though if she wasn't planning on having me in it, more importantly having a nice reunion with Joe, then I don't give a damn.) But no pictures or anything lately She just mopes around, and I haven't had a thing to do and I'm bored. Current Mood: annoyed (Comment on this)

9:34 am	Oh, I have some nice pictures to show today! Hm, this sort of thing is allowed right? Oh I'm sure it is, they don't show anything... But erm, 'someone' was nice enough to draw me and that boy Tuff, nice eh? Have to warn you of course, they might offend some but ~I~ certainly like them. Oh yes... http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/4495620/ www.ivynajspyder.com/my_gardelltuff4.png Anyway, back to my story. I invited Cornelius over. He was overly affectionate as always, and chose little Aiden to play with as I'd asked. Riley is the type to react if his best friend is in trouble... And trust me, being with Cornelius counts as being very much 'in trouble'. Riley wasn't thrilled of course so I had to restrain him. He had to understand just how lucky he was. I would tell Cornelius to stop, just as soon as Riley behaved himself... It wasn't so hard. Neelie was a little rougher with Aiden than I would have liked but... nothing time won't heal. Riley didn't take long to change his tune then, he became nicely submissive for once... I asked Neelie to go lighter on Aiden of course, I didn't want him to be hurt if Riley was doing what I wanted, of course. It was... absolutely wonderful, while it lasted. And of course something had to go wrong. (Comment on this)

10:13 pm	Some of my friends at Holy Nightmare are fairly normal, others are... well some scare me even, but they're nice enough. Some are... how shall I say it, ~too~ nice. Cornelius is one of these. He was... an interesting fellow. Acted nice enough towards me (much, much too friendly at times as I said) but I've seen him fight... Not a pretty sight, especially for whomever he's fighting. And some of his other interests... Well there's a reason I decided to call him to help me with my little problem. I don't think I'll go into the kinds of things Neelie likes to do in his free time. I hear he has his own little pet or two. I saw him once... Poor guy. I wouldn't do anything like that myself, but I can't very well tell Neelie what he can do. But anyway... I called him over. (his room was just down the hallway) Things got interesting after that... I'll save the rest for later... (Comment on this)

11:58 am	Oh, it's almost Christmas, how nice. Oh, have you all seen this? http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/4118474/ I'd have to say that's my favorite picture of Ivy's yet. Anyway... I have a pretty good memory about these things, as you could probably tell. Where was I... Oh yes, after a little nap with Tuff... Like I'd said, he was more than a little shaken up, so I thought a warm bath would help him (just him in there, I prefer showers myself) Riley and Aiden were sleeping in the other room, very cute and peaceful. They had been pounding on my door for a while but I wasn't sure when they'd given up. They woke up when I ran Tuff's bath. Poor boy, I had to console him a bit. I really didn't mean to hurt him. He seemed to understand that, I think he started to feel better. Riley and Aiden were getting angry again, of course. They always make such a big deal out of things, don't they? Riley knows I don't mean to hurt him, sometimes I mess up, I admit it. But I promised I would keep them safe! But no... They just didn't understand. Does it make sense to anyone else? I was going to keep them safe with me. They would be happy if they'd only do what they were supposed to. It was so little to ask... But they just didn't understand. I had to show them what the... alternative could be. If I sent them back to Dreamland, and the inevitable attack came... What if someone else got them? They could be killed or worse... Oh, much worse. Few of the demons I know here would pass up the chance to pick up a few boys like these, whether purely for torture or other methods. It could be so much worse... I'd show Riley so he'd know how good he had it. (Comment on this)

10:53 pm	Goodness, I haven't updated in a while have I. You know how it is, life becomes hectic... Everyone else looking forward to the holidays I hope? I know I am. I hope I get something nice... I'll see if I can't write a longer entry later. Anyone still interested in my little story about my dear Riley? (1 Comment |Comment on this)

9:34 pm	I'm back Well, been a while since I've posted anything hasn't it. Many apologies, but things have been a bit hectic once more. I don't know, should I get back into my story about Riley or do you want to hear something else? Then again, nevermind. I want to talk about Riley. After meeting that 'Arcej' fellow (I learned later who it really was but I won't spoil it for you) I was still rather frustrated. I suppose I shouldn't have expected the three of them to get used to their new accommodations so quickly, but I've never been the patient sort. Aiden is an interesting one. I brought him along so Riley would be happy. He and Aiden were always together when they were growing up. They would do anything for each other. Such loyalty… but they both wanted to protect each other and the boy from me. Even though I wasn’t even going to hurt them. It didn’t make sense then, doesn’t now… If they just cooperated everything would be fine and we could have been happy. Tuff was just trying to hardest to make them stop. Poor boy, they were only scaring him… So yes I was rather frustrated. I… slipped. I didn’t mean to, I can swear on my soul I didn’t mean to but I hurt Riley again. I misunderstood. He wouldn’t forgive me for that one damned thing, damnit I told him I was sorry and he has to be so damned stubborn about it… They say we hurt the ones we love but I hate it. Why is it necessary sometimes? I told them I could get them anything they wanted… They’d be safe with me and I’d make sure of it, and that they were comfortable. They weren’t going for it. I let them know all I had to do was leave them in the hallway if they didn’t like being with me. Someone would pick them up in no time… Not nearly as forgiving as I am, believe me. I decided to let them sleep on it. The two of them went to the other room but, oddly enough, Tuff decided to stay with me. I didn’t force him to. It was his own choice… Riley and Aiden weren’t thrilled, but it wasn’t their business. I wanted to relax, can you blame me? Tuff’s a good kid… Smart kid. I was gentle with him, I really was. I took it slow. Maybe not to much towards the end, but like I said, I was frustrated… I do that sometimes. I scared him. That’s normal for the first time but you have to believe me I don’t really like it. I lost control… But I won’t again. But he’ll get used to it and I’ll make sure he’s happy too. Bah. Don’t you hate how complicated things can be… (Comment on this)

9:58 pm	Ah, more birthday fun. This one is from Sad Mudokon. She says it's just a quickie sketch, but it's a ~very~ nice sketch. 'Gardell: 1, Knuckle Joe: 0' I think you can tell I like it just by the title! Of course it may not be the kind of picture everyone wants to see. So just in case I'll put it behind... what are they. Damn it, I'll have to check the FAQ... Right. LJ-cuts. ( Read more... ) It's been a good birthday so far, very good. I still want a cake though... Current Mood: horny (Comment on this)
4:16 pm	Yes, today is a wonderful day, the day when I first appeared in this world. And those with any sense and kindness in them have gotten me some very nice presents. Here's one from... pyrasaur http://www.deviantart.com/view/3585177/ I like the first few panels, but the ending could really use work. And a cute little thing from BabyCharmander. http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/3584781/ I would just love to have my Riley and even Aiden tied up in a nice shiny ribbon. ~Just~ a ribbon of course... Mm. I want cake now. Or Riley covered in frosting- that would be better. I should have a chat online tonight to celebrate! My AIM name is Gardell69 if anyone is interested! (OOC note: Or you can contact Ivyna J Spyder ^_~) Current Mood: happy (Comment on this)

9:37 pm	Yes! My first (and early) birthday present from, let's see... Miyuki! Wasn't that sweet of her? (Pic isn't there anymore.) Riley looks delicious there, doesn't he? Oh, I wish it were real... I guess that's asking a bit much though. This is good for now! Oh yes... Current Mood: horny (3 Comments |Comment on this)

9:56 pm	Oh, just a reminder for those of you who don't know... My Birthday is coming up! Yes, Oct. 25th... I'lld be 44 years young. So, the question is, what are you all getting me? C'mon, you have 5 days to decide, I think it's obvious what I want of course! (That Joe kid would be great, really, if by some chance I couldn't get Riley...) (Comment on this)

11:09 pm	Oh, just so you all know, my birthday is coming up! October 25. I’ll be 44 years young, and I you all to get me something nice… I’ll make it up to you, you know. Promise! Anyway, where was I… Oh yes. I believe Tuff woke up first followed by the other two. They weren’t exactly thrilled but I can understand that, being taken from their beds and waking up in a strange place. And the sight of a familiar face didn’t seem to help oddly enough. You see, Riley doesn’t really like me after this one little incident a few years back… We were all great friends when they were little… They really looked up to me. But after Nightmare attacked, things got complicated. I admit I may have been forward with Riley, but… It’s so hard to explain. I think I hurt him, but I didn’t mean to. Sometimes my emotions take control, it’s a problem I’ve always had, but he doesn’t understand that I would never intentionally hurt him! How could I hurt my Riley? I love him too much. It just… I can’t even think about it. But he’s stubborn and he just wants to hate me because of it… It really hurts, you know. I told them I was just trying to help… I know Nightmare will attack their new home soon, I was merely taking them out of harm’s way. They’ll be safe with me, and once Riley and Aiden and Tuff understand, then we can be happy together, finally. I just wanted to be with Riley… It had been so long, I couldn’t wait any longer. Looking back I shouldn’t have done that, not so soon… He wasn’t ready, but I don’t always know what to do with him. I had to make him understand… He wants to be with me, but his mind is clouded and he doesn’t see clearly. He just can’t forget that one thing, I made one mistake and look how it costs me… He accused me of just wanting to use them. It’s not true… I brought him because I love him, and Aiden because they’re always together. …Maybe with Tuff, that was for me. I can’t pass up an opportunity… Well even I can be selfish sometimes. The boy will get used to it I’m sure. Kids are flexible like that… Bah, I’m ranting. Well I guess this is a good a place as any. I spent some time with Riley but… I just couldn’t finish, so I went to take a short walk around the base… Just to clear my mind… I ran into an interesting fellow, a Mr. Arcej. Odd guy in a mask… Not my type, though his voice should have been on someone a lot taller. Some Popon kid was with him. Arcej seemed interested in my ‘souvenirs’ for some reason… I need to think more about how to go about this all with Riley. I just don’t understand him sometimes… Current Mood: confused (Comment on this)

9:28 am	The money was delivered and I got back to base just fine after that. Mission accomplished and I got a few extra bonuses. The Customer Service guy (does he have a name? I’ve never thought to ask) didn’t seem all that thrilled with my souvenirs, now that I think about it. I suspect he doesn’t like me. Or maybe he just doesn’t like my interests. Even around here some people think I’m odd. I say I’m normal, and they’re the weird ones. So it was finally time to relax and enjoy my rewards. There was no way even Sir Meta Knight could follow me, after all. I had all the time in the world… They were still asleep when I took them to my room- Oh, yes I have my own. Special privileges and all for being a good employee and all. It’s just two small rooms, a bedroom and another with a couch and table… And a bathroom, which is nice. I’d hate to have to share one with some of the freaks around here. But anyway. I decided to wait until they woke up… No use in disturbing them just yet. Things were complicated after that. I’m really not sure how much I can write here though. Well I need to get going now anyway. I’ll have to finish my story later. (Comment on this)

10:57 pm	Back after a delay I left Kuriri to rot in his cell while Meta Knight went to search for his mentally challenged brother. I wasn’t about to spend the night in there with both of then, Well I’m sure Meta Knight wouldn’t leave them there, but after a few comments from Kuriri I just wasn’t in a very forgiving mood. Besides, I had things to do… I needed to get my ‘souvenirs’. I had a good idea where the money was. Of course I don’t rush into things without a plan. Meta Knight was going to be busy searching the castle so I would have plenty of time. My first stop was Riley and Aiden’s room. Wouldn’t you know it, the door wasn’t even locked. In fact the handle looked as if it had been broken off. Odd, but helpful. I was able to get in without making a sound, and I found the two asleep together. It really was an adorable sight… I had to wonder what they’d been doing beforehand. Oh, I don’t mind if Riley is with Aiden, if that makes him happy. They were so peaceful there, but if they woke up they’d misunderstand and there would be trouble. It just took some chloroform for both of them and I could carry them out of there. I left a note in case Meta Knight showed up. I wouldn’t want him to worry about where they’d gone. I put them both in a room by the throne room while I went to get the money. I tied their hands just in case, I did’t want them to get up and hurt themselves. And as it turned out the vault was very close to the throne room and it was a matter of moments to unlock that and get a bag. I had no idea what was in it but it was too damn heavy for my liking. Ah well, I’d live. It was only a short way… And I couldn’t believe my luck… That sweet little boy, Tuff had decided to come find me. Said Aiden had told him not to and he thought it wasn’t fair, and so he got up to look for me. How wonderful. And it was convenient for me too. I hadn’t planned on taking him too, but opportunity was knocking… He went with me to the throne room, where oddly enough the transporter was up and running, and that snail was there… But the Salesguy was on the video screen, and according to him things were fine. Odd. Tuff started to pick up on things, but he’s a smart kid and I expected that. And I was prepared. I knocked him out like the other two. I left him on the transporter while I went to get the others. Things were going wonderfully… Until, of course Meta Knight showed up to save the day. But alas, he was too late. It turned out that the Escargoon there was a fake, a Popon in disguise, and it attacked him while I made my exit with my prizes. Things couldn’t be better… Current Mood: satisfied (Comment on this)

11:16 am	To be honest I didn’t think there was much to worry about. Sir Meta Knight is very intelligent but there’s no way for him to connect us to Holy Nightmare. Still, I didn’t want to waste time, just in case. I went to look for wherever Dedede keeps his money. And was nearly scared half to death by Dedede in some demonic samurai from hell armor. Where did he get that, and more importantly how would it even fit him?! But of course I didn’t panic, that wouldn’t do me any good. He said since there were problems I was going to have to stay in the dungeon along with the other newcomers. Wonderful. Spending the night near Kuriri and Rikuku. My skin was crawling… When we got there, Meta Knight started questioning Kuriri, with little result. Kuriri’s a shrewd bastard, I’ll give him that, but Meta Knight’s good himself. I just waited for them to leave. Meta Knight isn’t THAT good. He didn’t even take my pouch from me, and I have all sorts of tricks in it… Freedom, here I come… Current Mood: accomplished (Comment on this)

8:35 am	I spoke with Kuriri. Turns out there wasn’t a mix up, we were just sent for different reasons. I get the cash, and for whatever reason they’re supposed to get the king himself. (Why bother with me getting the cash then? Ah well. I guess if I hadn’t I never would have found Riley again…) Speaking of my Riley, I talked to Kuriri about how I’d go about getting permission for some… souvenirs. I think of Riley much higher than that, but I didn’t want to be too descriptive… Kuriri is far from stupid however. He’s a bit full of himself if you ask me though… And he had to tease me about some of my interests. Hmph, what I do is my business. It’s not like I try to hurt them, I’m not like some people. Then the bad news. There are these ugly little monsters called Piskie’s that Nightmare uses on occasion to control people recruited against their will. They’re cheap and plentiful and easy to use so I can see why- but the damn things live in your stomach. Disgusting. I’m so damn glad I don’t need one. But anyway, Dedede had had one in him for quite some time (mostly to get him to buy more from HNM I’m sure) and what do you know, it came out and now the resident Star Warrior knows of it. So the plan then was basically get the job over and get out. Wonderful. And I had wanted to relax… Current Mood: aggravated (Comment on this)

11:32 am	As I found out the next morning, it seemed there was a mix up at HNM, and I wasn’t the only one sent there! These two penguin brothers, Kuriri and Rikuku (who comes up with these names?). I don’t know them very well, only that they have what I think is an unhealthy relationship. Maybe those bastards just didn’t think I could do this on my own. How couldn’t I? It’s so easy it’s almost sad. Okay, finding where the money is wasn’t easy (I barely got any sleep that night, and when I tried looking those damned round guys were everywhere.) I had to go see Kuriri about what we’re going to do about this situation. I just hoped it wasn’t going to complicated things. (Comment on this)

11:07 am	It's been a while So much has happened in the past few days, I simply couldn’t find time to write. I’ll still try to relate what happened as best I can. Now where was I… Oh yes. After that depressing scene with Riley and Aiden, I headed off to my room. I wasn’t in the best mood, after that I just felt like going to bed. But, as luck would have it I found Tuff in the hall waiting for me. I’d almost forgotten that I’d promised him I’d tell him stories about whatever adventures I’ve had. (I fought against Nightmare before I joined him. What can I say, I’m an opportunistic bastard.) Tuff had sneaked from his room apparently, and was about ready to start jumping for joy at the prospect of being with me a while. Isn’t that cute? I was definitely cheered up, so I told him a few tales… Now I have to say, I pride myself on my self-control. However, temptation likes to challenge that. He was in my room, on my bed no less… It wouldn’t have been hard, not at all. I could have used him to relax a little, get rid of some stress, but no, work before pleasure. The last thing I needed was for him to run off and tell some official… Ah well. I decided I’d wait, at least until the mission was over. And as always, fate smiled upon me in these matters. Not after a bit of unwanted trouble of course. (Comment on this)

11:23 am	This is simply amazing. Fate has smiled upon me once again. We’ve been brought back together. I followed Escargoon’s directions to the room of those two knights. I just wanted to talk with them you know, find out why they’d run away since that was a strange thing to do. The one with the long green helmet opened the door, but seemed reluctant to speak to me at best. But I insisted. I didn’t recognize him in the armor at first, but I knew his voice. How could I forget such a lovely sound? I knew in an instant that it was my Riley, that I’d found him again after all this time. But he didn’t share my enthusiasm, but I should expect that. He told me to leave, and all I wanted to do was talk and find out what had gone on in the time seen we’d last been together. Aiden, the other one and Riley’s friend agreed with him of course. Those two always stick together, it’s really sweet. But apparently the shock of seeing me was too much, and I had to go. No matter. I have all the time in the world… I’ve known Riley since he was an infant. I was friends with his father… I watched Riley grow up with Aiden. We were all good friends back then, they kind of considered me like a favored uncle. I’ve always been good with children. We were happy together until that day… The very company I now work for attacked my home, destroyed everything. Riley, Aiden and I were some of the few survivors. It was hard, but I made sure they were okay. The others wanted them to leave, saying they were a drain on our resources and couldn’t contribute anything. I had some power over the group, many of them were my friends, and I did not let any harm come to them. I couldn’t let anyone hurt Riley. I know why Riley is upset at me now. I can understand why he would feel that way, he simply doesn’t understand. He doesn’t understand how I feel. Was what I did selfish? No… After all I’d done for him, it was a small favor to return in comparison. I didn’t… I tried not to hurt him. Maybe he thought I was trying to…? It’s all so confusing. Love always is, I suppose. Riley will come around eventually, and I’ll help him along. Fate brought us back together, it’s what was meant to be of course. I’m not about to pass up such an opportunity… (Comment on this)

11:05 am	Right, where was I... Ah yes. After the scene with those two knights, Tiff and her brother agreed to take me to King Dedede. As I said, I was going to masquerade as a traveler seeking temporary shelter. I don’t see why he wouldn’t buy that, goodness knows he’s believed everything HNM has told him without a problem. I love gullible people. And I finally had the pleasure of meeting Sir Meta Knight. He’s smaller than I thought he’d be. A lot smaller. Not a talkative type either, but he wasn’t suspicious- at least he didn’t show it if he was. I’d bet on the latter myself. He came with us on our trip to the throne room, where I saw that snail again. My meeting with Dedede itself was… strange to say the least. Everything I’d heard about him painted him as an uncouth, loudmouth overgrown child. This time he seemed more like an overly depressed, moody teen. Cranky too. I didn’t let that bother me and made my request, and he complied. Yet another hurdle cleared. Yes, I am good. And I think Meta Knight is suspicious of me. Oh well, he can’t do anything unless I do- and by the time I’m done and get out of here it will be too late. Escargoon is really a nice guy, ugly but nice. He gave me a map of Dreamland to help me out, a very good one. I chanced asking him where I could find those two knights, and he told me where their rooms were. Well, I guess one more detour wouldn’t hurt. Current Mood: optimistic (Comment on this)
