Word Count: 2511
Rating: R
Summary: It wasn't going to be perfect, but it would be theirs and that was all that mattered then.
Warnings: First time. So fluff your teeth will fall off.
A/N: Originally written for 2010's Pick-a-Prompt on hp_canon_fest . Also for Week #22 on hp_smutday for the prompts "Neville Longbottom" and "Healing Touch". I had a huge writer's block with this one. Sorry it's not as good as anyone would expect considering such a great prompt. I didn't want to do R/Hr or H/G because I've read those kind of fics more times than I can count and I thought it would be harder to make my own version of the moment without being influenced by those fics. Thank you hondagirll and prongsxwormtail for being my lovely betas :)
Time To Live
Just as Voldemort's dead body fell to the ground, the sunlight washed the whole room. The tired and dirty faces of everyone were now more clear; reflecting the mix of sorrow, loss, happiness and victory. Pushed by the rest of the people, Neville made his way to Harry. His feet moved on their own accord. It all felt like a second.
"It's all over, mate," he said as he patted Harry's back.
"Time to live, Harry," said Luna, who was standing next to him.
Time to live. Something awoke his senses at those three words. His eyes travelled through everyone's faces, trying to find the one he needed to see the most. He was starting to grow desperate when he couldn't spot Hannah. Neville was about to shout her name, when he heard her voice.
"Neville! Neville!" she shouted a few meters away from him. Her blonde hair flew around her flushed face as she looked for him.
"Hannah!" he shouted, standing on his tiptoes so she could see him.
The minute her brown eyes found him, a wave of relief washed over her troubled face. Trying to get together, fighting against the mass of people surrounding Harry, seemed impossible.
"Out!" Neville said to her, pointing at the door of the Great Hall.
With a small nod, she turned around and faded into the sea of people.
Making his way through the crowd got harder when people spotted him. They all turned to Neville, patting his shoulder and hugging him enthusiastically; thanking and congratulating him for being so brave and facing Voldemort when everyone thought it was all over.
At first, Neville could feel his cheeks burning in embarrassment. He had just done what Harry asked him to do. That was not brave. However, as more and more people started surrounding him, blocking his way out the Great Hall, he started growing desperate.
"Please, I need to-"
"Oh, Neville, you did such an awesome job!"
"I really didn't, but...thanks. Please, let me-"
"Well done, boy!"
He took a deep breath and faked another smile, trying to push the people away. "Thanks. I'm sorry, but I really h-"
"You were incredible! Thank you so much, dear boy!"
"Plea- thanks. I'd just like to-" Neville kept looking ahead, trying to break through the growing group of people around him.
"Longbottom! What an heroic thing to do!" said Slughorn, patting his shoulder slightly.
"It really wasn't, Sir. I just-"
"It was very heroic, Mister Longbottom. Don't deny it," a voice whispered from behind. The warm breath tingled against his ear; making Neville shiver as he turned around to find Hannah.
"Hannah," he said softly, looking intently at her face for a second before pulling her to his chest in a big embrace. "Are you alright?"
A breathy laugh escaped her lips while her fists tugged at Neville's ragged shirt. "I'm fine," she said with a sigh. "I'm so glad you are okay, Neville." Hannah broke their embrace, lifting her hands to his face. Her eyes watered as she stared into his. "I was so scared. For a second I thought-"
Neville smiled softly, silencing her with his index finger to her lips. "Nothing happened. It's all over now," he whispered, leaning closer to her face.
The force attracting him to kiss her was stronger now than it had been before. Merlin knew he had meant to confess his growing feelings for her more than once; but that little push he was needing has been missing until now.
Her eyelids fell heavily over her soft brown eyes as she licked her lips nervously. He could sense the anticipation coming from both of them in the air. Neville savoured the moment, trying to ignore his palms sweating. His eyes traced every single line and scar on her dirty face. He hadn't noticed until then the little scar over her left eyebrow. It was still fresh and a now dry drop of blood laid across her temple.
Leaning forward, he kissed her temple so gently that his lips had barely brushed the injured skin. He heard Hannah gasp and moved away to look at her.
"Did I hurt you?" he asked in worry.
"No," she whispered. Her eyes were still closed. "Please, let's go."
There was something in her tone that sent shivers down his spine. They couldn't get out of there fast enough. Hannah led the way, holding his hand in hers. He just let himself be pulled, focusing his eyes on her swirling hair and round bum. Watching her walk was seriously becoming one of his most favourite things ever, and he couldn't be more thankful for being able to enjoy that sight again.
Sooner than he had expected, Hannah pulled him inside an empty classroom. Neville could just give the room a quick glance, appreciating the intact desks and chairs in it before her lips crushed over his passionately. Her hands wrapped around his neck, pulling his head to her height, as he stumbled backwards, hitting the closed door with his back.
Sliding his arms around her waist, Neville pulled Hannah closer to him. Every inch of her body was pressed against his. Breaking up apart to catch their breath, Hannah's eyes locked with his for a second before she opened her mouth. He knew the apology for her impulsiveness was going to come, but Neville knew more than anything that he didn't regret this at all. It was their time. After getting closer for a whole year, there were no doubts in what he felt for her. And he was also pretty sure she reciprocated. So, even if this wasn't the best scenario, it was their time.
He took the opportunity and closed the small distance, catching her lips in a deepened kiss. His tongue stroked hers in slow motion, savouring the moment. He could feel Hannah breathing against his cheek and the small -and almost imperceptible- pressure of her fingertips against the back of his neck.
Soon, the need to quicken the pace overtook him. When Hannah leaned forward, pressing herself against him, Neville couldn't help it anymore. The battle for dominance had started; and the small noises Hannah made sent Neville to the edge. He could feel his erection growing against her thigh. Mentally kicking himself, he tried to push Hannah's pelvis away from his with his hands, but she just fought back, pressing herself harder against him, rubbing her whole body against his.
A groan echoed in the back of his throat. Neville felt his nerves awakening, making every inch of his body set on fire as it made contact with hers. His blood warmed his limbs as it accelerated in time with his breath, numbing the sore muscles and stinging cuts. The muscles in his stomach clutched with the pent up desire that evoked from their first kiss. Broad hands slid under the hem of her shirt, caressing the soft skin of her lower back.
Shaking hands started fumbling with his clothes. Neville could feel her muscles tensing as she pulled his shirt out of his trousers and her small fingers looked blindly for the zipper.
"Hannah, stop. We don't have to do anything," Neville said against her lips, pressing his forehead against hers. Their warm breath mixed as they looked at each other in the eyes.
"I want to," she said firmly, reassuring her statement by tightening her fists around the hair at the nape of his neck. "You need a haircut," she whispered with a small smile.
Neville inhaled deeply, trying to find the strength to resist the temptation and do what was right. Screwing things up with Hannah just when they were actually beginning was not an option. "We have time. We have our whole lives ahead. Why rush into things-"
"Because I want you now Neville. I need you now. I need to feel. I need something more than a few cuts, sore muscles and tiredness to make me feel alive. I need to feel good. Feel that this was all worth it, because I almost lost you today just like I lost my mother and-" She choked on unshed tears, the lump in her chest aching as she refrained from crying. She took a deep breath. "I don't want to cry," she whispered softly, shaking her head and barely brushing her lips against his, making them tingle at the feathery contact.
"But you deserve so much better. I don't know if..." He sighed, caressing her hair with one hand as the other rested on her lower back. "Hannah, I want the best for you and I know that this classroom, minutes after-"
"Nev, you are the best for me. I don't care the place or the time. I want my first time to be with you."
Neville took a few deep breaths, taking his time to think, trying to decipher if he was letting his cock speak louder than his brain. "Okay," he said; suddenly at a loss for words. He hadn't planned this and finding the right thing to say was getting harder each second. Maybe not saying anything at all was the best.
"Okay," she repeated, looking at him with nervous eyes. "Wh-what now?" she stuttered.
Neville nodded, more to himself than to Hannah and gave her a chaste kiss on the lips before pushing her back. Taking off his shirt, he transfigured it into a wide blanket and extended it on the floor, between the rows of desks. Hannah helped straighten the ends on her side and kneeled over it. Neville followed and sat over it too. The distance between them was making him more nervous than before.
"Are you sure about this, Hannah?" he asked again.
No answer came from her. She just started taking off her shirt. Her eyes locked on his the whole time. Her hair got messier as the shirt slid over her head. Neville's eyes kept staring back at hers. He wanted to look, but he wouldn't let himself lower his gaze until Hannah said he could. She proceeded to take off her bra. They both swallowed hard when the piece of clothing was placed over the scattered shirt on her side.
"You can look, Neville," she prompted. The timid tone in her voice was only accentuated by the spreading blush over her dirty cheeks.
Neville's eyes travelled every inch of her uncovered skin, drinking her in. The pale skin of her neck led to her full breasts. A bruise just over her right nipple caught his attention. He continued looking at her curves, examining to see if there were any more injuries. He gasped softly when he found a deep cut on her belly, bellow her belly button. He moved forward, taking a close look at it. His extended hand hovered in the air as he looked into her eyes, silently asking for permission.
She nodded silently, gasping as his warm fingertips traced the outline of the cut. Drawing his wand closely he whispered a healing charm that made the injury heal faster. Leaning forward, he kissed it slowly. Hannah's hands went to his hair, entwining her fingers between the crispy blonde locks on the top of his head.
Leaving a trail of small kisses, Neville made his way to the bruise on her boob. The kiss on the dark purple-ish piece of skin was soon followed by his tongue. All inhibitions gone, Neville's hand massaged her other breast, experimenting with different pressures. Hannah's moans were more encouraging than he ever thought possible, giving him the confidence to capture her erect nipple in his mouth, sucking at it as his tongue tasted the sweetness of her skin.
Hannah's hands were as active as his. Travelling over his broad shoulders as she arched her back, pressing her upper body closer to Neville.
"Please. Neville," she said urgently.
No more words were needed. He understood what she meant instantly, as he was feeling the same. With one quick movement he turned them, placing Hannah under him. Her legs spread, his erection making contact with her center. Pushing his hips against hers, Neville started kissing her deeply. One arm besides her head supported his weight as the other explored the curves of her body. The urgency returned, with as much -if not more- intensity then when they first stepped into the classroom.
Hands fumbled nervously with his zip again. The clumsy touches and whispered sorry's were a constant reminder that this was their first time. It wasn't going to be perfect, but it would be theirs and that was all that mattered then.
"Here," Neville whispered against her lips, handing her his wand, before moving to nip the base of her neck.
Neville felt his worn jeans sliding down his legs as well as Hannah's trousers. Now only their underwear was in their way, and it didn't take more than a second for her to vanish those too. Neville's cock slid between her wet folds, making him groan loudly. It took all his will power to stop to ask her if she was ready.
"Yes," she whispered, holding her breath when he thrust deep into her, breaking the barrier that meant her virginity. The pain, even if expected, was stronger than she expected. Her arms tightened against his neck.
Neville stopped instantly. "What?" he asked in confusion.
"Hurts," she whispered against his neck.
"What?" he hissed frantically, starting to pull off of her.
"No. Stay there," she instructed, bucking her hips against his and avoiding the loss of contact. "It's supposed to hurt the first time," she explained with a small smile.
"I should have known that, shouldn't I?" he asked blushing furiously. His eyes looked intently at the blanket below them.
Hannah looked at him silently for a couple of seconds smiling widely. She moved forward and caught her lips with his in a loving kiss. "I love you, Neville," she whispered as soon as they broke apart.
"I think I love you too."
"I'm glad, now please move," she said teasingly, wrapping her legs around his waist.
Neville started pulling in and out slowly, but at the second thrust he felt about to explode. Hannah was so hot and tight around him that it wouldn't take long before he came. Concentrating on her half-opened eyes and lazy smile, Neville thrust hard into her. The quick thrusts making Hannah moan softly at the new sensations, leaving all memory of pain behind. It wasn't a minute later than Neville came inside of her, groaning deeply as her nails scratched softly his chest.
Moving so he could let his weight rest on his side and not over Hannah, Neville tried to recover his breath.
"That was...quick," he contemplated.
Hannah laughed softly, kissing his cheek.
"I'm sorry it wasn't...well, perfect. I promise you I-"
"It was perfect, Neville," she reassured, resting her head against his shoulder.
"No, it wasn't," he insisted as one hand caressed her arm absentmindedly.
"It was us, and that is all that matters," she said looking right into his eyes and kissing him one more time.

EnergyCoal's decline driven by technology, market forces – not policy
Many people – and many politicians — attribute coal's decline to the clean-air policies of the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through rules that the agency applied to electricity generation plants. A new study points out that largely because of court challenges, EPA clean-air regulations did not change until 2015 — twenty-five years after President G. H. W. Bush signed amendments to the Clean Air Act in 1980. For eighteen years following new EPA rules, coal continued to thrive — until 2008, when its production peaked and then declined 23 percent in the next seven years. The study found that the decline is correlated with the shale revolution that began to be fully felt in 2007-2008, after which cheap natural gas outcompeted coal markedly.
EnergyStoring renewable energy underground for a reliable, affordable national grid
A common criticism of a total transition to renewable energy — wind, water, and solar power — is that the U.S. electrical grid cannot affordably store enough standby electricity to keep the system stable. Researchers propose an underground solution to that problem. The researchers use data from single-state calculations of the number of wind, water, and solar generators potentially needed in each state to show that these installations can theoretically result in a reliable, affordable national grid when the generators are combined with inexpensive storage and "demand response" — a program in which utilities give customers incentives to control times of peak demand.
Infrastructure protectionImprove cybersecurity in energy delivery
Cyber networks support many important functions within energy delivery systems, from sending data between a smart meter and utility to controlling oil or gas flow in a pipeline. However, they are vulnerable to disturbances. According to the ICS-CERT Monitor, a publication of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, a third of the 245 reported cyber incidents in industrial control systems that happened in 2014 occurred in the energy sector. The U.S. Department of Energy (DoE) initiative awards $28.1million to a consortium of eleven universities and research organizations, with the goal of improving computer/communication networks for energy delivery systems like power grids and pipelines.
EnergyCost of coal greater than it seems
The cost of coal use is greater than it seems and policies geared toward subsidizing its use must be reformed quickly, before countries invest in coal-fired plants, a new study says. Governments around the world heavily subsidize fossil fuels, and in 2013 pretax subsidies amounted to about $550 billion worldwide. These substantial subsidies not only drain funds that could be used for other purposes, such as sanitation and poverty reduction, but discourage investments in low-carbon alternatives.
EnergyWhere does solar energy stand, where does it need to go to fulfill its potential?
Most experts agree that to have a shot at curbing the worst impacts of climate change, we need to extricate our society from fossil fuels and ramp up our use of renewable energy. The sun's energy is unlimited, free and clean, and the amount that hits Earth in one hour is equal to the amount of energy used in one year by the entire planet. Yet, although installed global photovoltaic capacity increased almost nine-fold and the price of solar panels dropped by two-thirds between 2008 and 2013, only 1 percent of U.S. and global electricity generation come from solar energy. Where does solar energy stand today, and where does it need to go in order for us to make the transition to renewable energy?
EnergySouth Australia needs to look beyond wind for its clean energy
South Australia cannot complete its move to clean energy through a continued focus on wind energy. This is the conclusion of the most comprehensive review to date of renewable energy in the state, conducted by researchers in the University of Adelaide's Environment Institute. The success of wind power (27 percent of the state's energy and 3-4 percent nationally) is a credit to SA's proactive approach and should continue, the review says. However, that success has relied on the reliability of the national grid. There remains no answer to the inherent limitations of wind because of the mismatch between supply variability and demand.
Food securityBiofuel policies affect food prices
U.S. biofuel mandates require a percentage of gasoline consumed in the U.S. to contain ethanol. Since ethanol prices are dependent on crude oil and gas prices, oil and food prices have become increasingly intertwined. As the prices of gasoline and crude oil rise, prices of world grains and oilseeds markets follow. Researchers found that 80 percent of price increases of grain since 2007-8 are due to biofuel policies, thereby having a huge impact on value-added agricultural producers and food consumers worldwide.
Food securityA model for bioenergy feedstock/vegetable double-cropping systems
Much attention has been given to dedicated, perennial bioenergy crops to meet the revised Renewable Fuel Standard mandating production of thirty-six billion gallons of biofuel by the year 2022. Even so, concern remains over the impending need to convert as much as thirty million acres of U.S. crop land, which would include food crops, to land for perennial energy crops in order to meet that demand. Researchers realize that biomass feedstocks will need to come from many different sources, including crop residues, forest residues, and municipal waste. The use of double-cropping systems — a winter annual biomass crop is grown then harvested in the spring, followed by a summer annual crop — has been suggested as an additional option.
EnergyMIT Energy Initiative releases report on the future of solar energy
Solar energy holds the best potential for meeting humanity's future long-term energy needs while cutting greenhouse gas emissions — but to realize this potential will require increased emphasis on developing lower-cost technologies and more effective deployment policy, says a comprehensive new study released earlier this week by the MIT Energy Initiative (MITEI). The report highlights the enormous potential of this energy and discusses pathways toward affordable solar energy.
InfrastructureU.S. must invest in energy infrastructure to upgrade outdates systems
Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz is calling for a renewed focus on U.S. energy infrastructure, saying new and improved oil pipeline projects are just a portion of a long list of work needed to modernize the country's outdated system for transporting oil, natural gas, and electricity.In the government's first Quadrennial Energy Review (QER), an almost 500-page analysis released last week, Moniz calls for building new pipelines, repairing old ones, and insulating electric grids and transformers from storms and terrorist attacks."It is the right time, maybe it's a little after the right time, for us to make these kind of investments in energy infrastructure," he said.
EnergySafety procedures have not kept up with new, deeper offshore oil drilling operations
Just five years after the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill disaster, which leaked roughly 134 million gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico, federal agencies have approved even deeper series of next-generation wells, which critics cite as too new to be properly regulated. Concerned scientists and industry officials are arguing that the recently allowed wells have not yet developed proper corresponding safety procedures to prevent a disaster similar, or worse, than the one which befell the Macondo well.
EarthquakesCombination of gas field fluid injection and removal likely cause of 2013-14 Texas quake
Seismologists found that high volumes of wastewater injection combined with saltwater (brine) extraction from natural gas wells is the most likely cause of earthquakes occurring near Azle, Texas, from late 2013 through spring 2014. SMU seismologists have been studying earthquakes in North Texas since 2008, when the first series of felt tremors hit near DFW International Airport between 30 October 2008 and 16 May 2009. Next came a series of quakes in Cleburne between June 2009 and June 2010, and this third series in the Azle-Reno area northwest of Fort Worth occurred between November 2013 and January 2014. The SMU team also is studying an ongoing series of earthquakes in the Irving-Dallas area that began in April 2014.
EnergyRenewables win, coal loses as shift in electricity generation lead to net job growth in energy
In the four years following the 2008 recession, the coal industry lost more than 49,000 jobs, while the natural gas, solar, and wind industries together created nearly four times that amount, according to a new study. A county-by-county geographical analysis of the losses and gains shows that few new jobs were added in regions hardest hit by coal's decline, particularly counties in southern West Virginia and eastern Kentucky.
GridWhy rooftop solar is disruptive to utilities – and the grid
Electric utilities have a unique role in society and the economy, one that is rooted in a set of arrangements with state regulators that goes back nearly a century. In exchange for being granted a geographic monopoly on the distribution of electric power, the utility is responsible for ensuring that its transmission and distribution systems operate reliably. In other words, it is the utility's responsibility to ensure that blackouts occur infrequently and with short duration. Power-generating panels, called solar photovoltaics (PV), represent the fastest-growing source of electric power in the United States – but the proliferation of roof-top PVs poses a problem for the business model of electric utilities, a problem similar to that telephone companies have been facing: The rise of "cord cutters" — people with a cell phone but no land-line — places land-line phone companies in a quandary. They must continue to maintain their network infrastructure with fewer customers to pay for it. Roof-top solar technology will eventually force a conversation about the fundamental role of the electric utility and who should have ultimate responsibility for providing reliable electricity, if anyone. Going off the grid has a certain appeal to an increasing segment of the population, but it is far from clear that such a distributed system can deliver the same level of reliability at such a low cost.
HazmatLiving near railroad tracks? Prepare for crude-oil-train accidents, spills
The Minnesota Department of Transportation(MnDOT) reports that 326,170 Minnesotans live within a half mile of railroad tracks used by trains carrying crude oil from North Dakota's Bakken region. An area covering a half mile on each side of the tracks, public safety officials say, is the area from which residents are likely to be evacuated in the event of an oil train incident or explosion. The department urges all residents living near an oil train track to be prepared for a train accident.

I am one that sits on the fence understanding both sides of the issue on this. One is basic business - sell it for what you can get out of it. Business are there to make a profit/make a living. However, price gouging is an issue I don't tolerate.
On the other hand, some of these places may be looking at real hard times coming. I am willing to bet that buying gun related parts, (Magazines, Barrels, Ammo) will be highly restricted in the future. When hard times are foreseen isn't it a good idea to get what you can? After all we are "panic buying" why can't they do the same and raise prices knowing their profits will be drastically taken away in the future?

Do We Have This One?? The protagonist of a Video Game carries a personal notebook, and automatically updates it offscreen with new information he or she has learned so far. The player can check it anytime to remind himself of past plot points. This is mostly an Adventure Game trope and rarely seen elsewhere: This is because they tend to be very dialogue- and plot-heavy, especially investigation-themed ones, so that keeping track of it all can be difficult. Some possible variations of this trope include:
- A list of major events and important facts, written in the protagonist's own words. This type is usually written more or less in a diary style, and can even be their actual diary.
- A complete transcript of all spoken dialogue so far. This is especially common in interrogation-heavy detective stories, as the player needs to remember every fact that a character may say.
- Broken Sword
- The first two games didn't have notebooks, until they were added in the Updated Rereleases.
- Both Broken Sword 3 and Broken Sword 4 have the "diary" type versions. As they have two playable characters that the player have to switch between at specific points, they both have their own notebook with only the facts that each character knows.
- In the Lost Files Of Sherlock Holmes games, Watson follows the player (Holmes) everywhere and writes every conversation down in his notebook. There is a search function, which is useful because it can easily reach several hundred pages.
- There is an interesting variation in Gabriel Knight: the titular character carries a tape recorder instead of a notebook, and records all conversations that way. In Video Game/Gabriel Knight 2, Grace Nakimura, whom you also play at some points, uses a diary-type notebook however.
- April Ryan in The Longest Journey has a diary. Then there's Zoe's mobile phone in Dreamfall: The Longest Journey: she keeps track of her adventures via notes on it (though to a lesser degree than April in TLJ).
- Grim Fandango has the dialogue transcript version.
Hello, Unknown Troper. You'll need to get known to lend a hand here.
Community Feedback Replies: 43
Personally, I think it would be easier to list aversions...
Grim Fandango has the dialogue transcript version. @Dvorak: I'm afraid I don't agree with you. This trope is common in RPG and puzzle games, but that's pretty much the only genres. If we would start listing the aversions we would have a list of every FPS, sports game, strategy games, etc, etc.
@dvorak: Why? I can think of huge amounts of games that avert this: 99% of non-adventure games (platformers, action games, and so on), which is already in the thousands; plotless games; most adventure games in the early 90s and earlier (this is a fairly recent trope), which is probably in the hundreds; light-hearted comedy adventure games; and finally, a surprising amount of investigative games. (Seriously, no automatic notebook in a video game adaptation of an Agatha Christie novel?)
it's rather widespread, but not that widespread. Also, it may vary from automated quest-related logs to player's notebook.
Not quite a diary, but Metroid Prime has the Scan Logs, which record information on everything that Samus manages to scan with her Scan Visor. It usually records the biologies of creatures, the structural information of ships and lore left behind by the unfortunate civilization of the day. It also keeps track of her inventory and map.
The various Journal entries in Kingdom Hearts. In the original game, Chain of Memories, II, and coded, however, it is Jiminy Cricket who is jotting down all of the info and in the latter game, the journal itself is the catalyst of the plot and plays an important role in the form of Data-Riku.
Might qualify as a Reality Writing Book
- April in The Longest Journey had a diary. Does that count?
- Pokemon has two versions of this trope. One is the save mechanism, which in some games is represented as a diary of the player's adventures. The second is the Pokedex, which fills itself with the player character's "research" on a Pokemon the moment they catch it. Various claims it makes, such as Grimer being the result of toxic sludge exposed to "X-Rays from the moon," start to make a lot more sense when you realise that this is an encyclopaedia supposedly written by a ten year old.
@Koveras: Of course it counts. I had even included it in the example list!
^ Ah, sorry, overlooked it. :) Well, you can also add Zoe's mobile phone from Dreamfall The Longest Journey, since she keeps track of her adventures via notes on it (though to a lesser degree than April in TLJ).
I added the adventure game examples for now. The first Pokemon example sounds more like a fancy save/load system, and the latter one suspiciously like Monster Compendium. I'm unsure about the other examples - maybe the definition could be expanded to include thing like quest logs in RPGs.
- Estelle keeps a Bracer Notebook in Legend Of Heroes Trails In The Sky, which keeps track of whatever your current plot-relevent quest is and any sidequests you've accepted, plus updated notes as you learn new things about them or accomplish sub-goals.
The Okami scrolls contains: a summation of the plot so far, any ongoing quests and sub-quests you're on, a Monster Compendium, and several item compendiums for treasures obtained, fish caught, and stray beads collected. And that's not even including the interface menus related to gameplay, such as your inventory, your equipment, and stats you can level up with the praise you gather.

And that's not even including the interface menus related to gameplay, such as your inventory, your equipment, and stats you can level up with the praise you gather.
The later Mystery Case Files games include the Master Detective's journal. (If you're playing the Collectors Edition of Escape From Ravenhearst, there's a bonus game in the journal itself.)
To clarify on the Pokemon one: In Pokemon Diamond, Pearl and Platinum, if you went back to your game after a few days of not playing, you would be shown a diary entry that listed some of the things you did last time you played- trainers you battled, Pokemon you caught, places you visited, etc. But you're right- the Pokedex is covered by Monster Compendium. Although, there is definitely some potential for overlap if the compendium is supposedly being filled out by the player's character.
^ Additionally, Pokemon Fire Red And Leaf Green also gave you a recap of what you did last time you played, but it wasn't in a journal format.
- The Synopsis option in Tales Of The Abyss is Luke's journal.
Skyrim's quest log reads as a journal, being written in first person and updating according to the player's actions.
This is a good trope. Might want to mention it's an Anti Frustration Feature.
- In Shenmue and its sequel, your journal is automatically updated with quest progress and what you need to find out next. Given how easy it is to spend get distracted and play minigames, this is appreciated.
Zig-zagged in the Dick Tracy game on the NES: Tracy uses his notebook only to record evidence but not clues given through interrogations, even though the player needs both sources to figure out where to go or who to track down next.
- Jiminy's Journal serves as this. summarizing the plot of the games as you go along. The recorded adventures become a plot point in Chain of Memories, coded, and to a lesser extent II
- Roxas has his own version in 358/2 Days and the beginning of II.
- Jiminy's Journal serves as this. summarizing the plot of the games as you go along. The recorded adventures become a plot point in Chain of Memories, coded, and to a lesser extent II
- The Professor Layton games have Layton keep a journal.
- The original Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles and its spinoff Echoes of Time have the player character keep a journal of the events in the game.
- Diablo III has a journal that keeps track of the player character's progress through the current quest. But you don't actually need it, because there's a sidebar on the screen at all times telling you where to go next.
Should we perhaps limit this to a logbook of plot-relevant events only? Stuff like a Monster Compendium is a separate trope.
We could define Monster Compendium as a subtrope. But yes, this is mostly about plot-relevant events.
Kingpin Life Of Crime features a notebook the protagonist uses to write down clues, missions and overall story progression.
Two possible examples: Literature:
- The Dis-organiser in Discworld can act as this. In one case it malfunctions and pick up future events, or events that could happen in another timeline.
- The Sotsdex in Sword of the Stars: The Pit records your progress through the laboratory, collects recipes and decoded message fragments, and acts as a manual of monsters met and items used.
Automatic Journal might be a better title.
- Cirquits Edge Has the ability to recall up to fifty events as a feature. These are exact descriptions for noteworthy situations that have passed. This is possibly one of the first games with an in-game journal.
Nathan Drake's journal in Uncharted edits any time the player solves a puzzle with his sketches to the solution, or whenever a plot-important sketch is needed. Some of this could be written off as Drake not needing that information in-story up until that point, preventing the player from turning to those pages.
Amnesia The Dark Descent features a self-updating notebook.
- Freelancer has Trent's Neural Net journal, which has an update for every checkpoint in the Single Player Plot. It makes you wonder sometimes where he finds the time, since some of the updates are clearly written DURING battles.
This trope is one common way to avert Now Where Was I Going Again.
- Changed * to # to number a list.
- Examples section
- Added a line separating the Description and Examples sections.
- Namespaced and italicized work names.
- Corrected improper Example Indentation in the Broken Sword examples.
The Bomber's Notebook in Majora's Mask allows you to keep track of which sidequests you've done in this particular time cycle. There are entries for each of the twenty people you can help; some with simple quests and some with ones so convoluted that at least two time cycles are required to explore all the facets of them.

Still wondering whether the trial of Saddam Hussein might have been a miscarriage of justice? Take a look at the HRW report (pdf) and make up your mind. Hussein's chief defense lawyer, Khalil al-Dulami, recently complained to the BBC that he has been prevented from filing appeal papers.
The trial of Saddam Hussein was so flawed that its verdict is unsound, the advocacy group Human Rights Watch says.
HRW said "serious administrative, procedural and substantive legal defects" meant the 5 November trial for crimes against humanity was not fair.
The Iraqi government has dismissed the report, telling the BBC that the trial was both "just and fair".
The ex-Iraqi leader has two weeks to lodge an appeal but his lawyer claims he has been blocked from doing so.
Link (pdf)
HRW Report:
The picture that emerges from this research is of an institution struggling with all aspects of conducting these legally and factually complicated trials, and also beset by external problems: misunderstanding and hostility in public opinion and from political leaders; grave and increasing security threats to all participants; a bitterly divided legal profession; and a deepening reluctance by other international actors to assist the process. Cumulatively, these limitations have meant that, in the Dujail trial, the court has not met essential fair trial standards and that the credibility of the trial process is doubtful. Human Rights Watch has documented serious administrative, procedural, and substantive legal defects in the trial.

The Press Sports Pay New coach, same winning tradition The Florida Connection: Dallas' Irvin, Smith stick together AUSTIN (AP) — One of ihe first times Michael Irvin crossed paths with Einrnitt Smith, Irvin was holding court in the Dallas Cowboys' locker room before the 1990 season, practicing his bragging routine. Smith smiled from his locker but never joined the chorus of hecklers who are such an integral part of Irvin's performances. A quiet rookie, Smith kept to himself. On that day, Irvin found his straight man and, ultimately, his best friend. Their bond has helped the two stars overcome pain and odds, reach the heights of their profession and take a team to two Super Bowl victories. "It's all about team and unity, and inside that team unity you find special little bonds like Mike and Emmitt," said Cowboys guard Nate Newton. Intrigued by Smith's quiet, hard-working demeanor, Irvin one day cast the rookie in a supporting role for one of his stand-up routines. , ' • • Irvin was bursting to the locker room about the prowess of football at Miami, his alma mater, as he frequently does, and then abruptly declared that the entire state of Florida had (he best football in the country — a jab at his Texas teammates. He called on Smith, a star for Miami's rival Florida Gators, to back him up. A smiling Smith reluctantly joined in, and before long Irvin and Smith were organizing an all-Honda team to take on any challengers and prove their point. "We'll take on Texas. We'll be unbeatable. We'll get Nate Newton (of Flonda A&M) as our guard..." Irvin ranted as he began dreaming up the rosier. Irvin and Smith became connected, united in their message that Flonda ruled the football kingdom. They dubbed themselves The Elon da Boys. "You don't mess with The Flonda Boys," Irvin said. "We hold a special bond When Emmitt first got here, he was real subdued and I was maybe a little too hyper. And we got together and made a beautiful mixture. I love the guy, and that's deep coming from a man to a man." Michael Irvin _ " Herald -Zeitung photo by MICHAEL DARNALL Quarterback David Simmonds la working to giva tho Now Braunfels Unicorns a double throat aa a passer and runner. By THOMAS GODLEY Sports Editor Some players accept new roles and other players thrive on them. David Simmonds is the latter — the kind of player that seems to excel when thrust into a new position. Take last October, for example, when Kelly Garza, the Unicorns' 1,000-yard rusher, suffered an ankle injury. New Braunfels trailed Canyon 6-3 as time was fading in the fourth quarter. Simmonds, a part-time receiver and running back in 1994, entered the backfield and got set for a draw play. He took the hand-otf and bolted 52 yards, putting the Unicorns in position few the go-ahead touchdown and a 9-7 win. "Anyone could have run through that hole," Simmonds said. Last spnng, following the departure of senior quarterback Johnny Reyes, New Braunfels coaches called upon Simmonds to v ie for the starting job. It was a position he hadn t played since seventh grade. "I was ready for it," he said. 'The team needed someone to come in and run the offense, and the coaches felt like I could do it. I just wanted to help out anywhere they needed me." Al 5-10, 170 pounds, Simmonds has good size to go with his 4.6-second speed in the 40 yard dash. As a junior receiver in 1994, he hauled in 15 passes for 115 yank and two touchdowns. Though not a pure passer, his arm strength and accuracy are solid. And that fits well with head coach Tim Kingsbury's plans for long-sustained drives rather than quick strikes. New Braunfels quarterback coach Victor Sierra believes Simmonds could pose a double threat for opposing defenses. "Teams would have to think twice when he drops back or rolls out on a pass," Sierra said. "David has speed, good footwork and can get outside on plays. He's a smart kid and knows the offense. Ifs a new position, bul he has the skills lo get the job done." Quarterbacking isn t entirely unfarnilar. Older brother and tonner Unicorn Jimmy Sim-monds was among the state's lop-rated passers early in the 1989 season. Tins summer the two spent afternoons tossing die football and mulling game situations. Jimmy solved a minor dinging problem by showing his brother a more comfortable gnp on the hall. "I feel a lot belter with my release," Simmonds said. "He's giving me tips all the time, telling me about leadership and what it takes to be a quarterback I give him a lo! a lot credit for getting me ready this season For his part. Simmonds is ready to bailie for the role of the new man at the Unicorns' offensive helm Unicorns head into the 1995 volleyball season in transition By THOMAS GODLEY Sports Editor Returning to coach her hometown high school team is like a dream come true for Phyllis Fowler. Then again, in New Braunfels — where volleyball and winning traditionally go hand in hand — it would be the dream of most coaches. Fowler, who replaced coach Claudia Peny this summer, began her first week Monday at NBHS. She said the team looked impressive in its recent scrimmages against Lee, Edison and Floresville, and the players appear primed to carry on the success of 1994. Last year the Unicorns finished 27-4, captured the district title and were ranked No. I in the state at the end of the season. Ifs a performance the new coach hopes to duplicate, though with her own system. "Anytime a new coach comes in, you are going to have changes," Fowler said. "It's not a matter of whether changes are good or bad. They simply need to be made to fit the coach and the team. The players have to accept adjusting to new things. It's not an easy situation, not for the players or the coach. But as long as there's a good positive attitude, and the desire to want to get better each day, we'll be fine." The Unicorns enter the 1995 season with plenty of talent, including three returning seniors. Outside hitter Shawn Lindsey, middle blocker Kristi Linde man, outside hitter/middle blocker Erin Baetge and middle blocker Jill Evans bring experience and leadership to the court. Adding depth and proven skills to the lineup are middle blocker Shelley Bredewater and Wendy Holtz — two returning juniors — and sophomore middle blocker Kristi Hull. Fowler said the first priority is getting players into top physical condition. That should work itself out in the next few weeks. Meanwhile, she must find a player to replace all-district setter Rochelle Colvin who signed with Texas Lutheran College last spring. The Unicorns are blessed with talent at the net. However, getting the ball into position for those big smashes is essential, and that means finding a setter — a position which coaches consider the equivalent of a quarterback in football. "One thing I feel good about is that we can definitely hit the ball," Fowler said. "We'll be strong in that area, but we have to be able to pass well and set up our hitters." Several setter prospects are waiting in the wings. During the next week of scrimmaging, Fowler will assess the play of Haley Helmly, Jessica Barney and Erica Walther. Having played high school volleyball at Smithson Valley and Canyon under Donna Boehle, Fowler is excited about the opportunity to coach in her hometown. Taking over the job in New Braunfels figures to be a challenge. The team plays before packed home crowds on a regular basis, and parents and fans can be demanding. Fowler said she knows the expectations and is ready take on the new season. "Any coach would love this," she said. 'The support is here and players are very talented. Ifs all a coach could ask for."

A week before E3 there was a mini Nintendo Direct with a few smaller game reveals Dr. Mario: Miracle Cure was one of those games. I had known about it previously as there was a Japanese equivalent previously. I reckon if they didn't do that and done that presentation as part of E3 then the E3 wouldn't have been seen as being so bad, but that is another article. Seriously though, about Dr. Mario, it is a horse Nintendo like to beat from time to time for sure, the old Dr. Mario formula has been used regularly since nineteen ninety spanning across five platforms in it's different games (even appearing in a WarioWare game as a bonus game.) Dr. Mario is just Mario with a Doctor's costume on and the game is just a drop down matching puzzle game, Nintendo's answer to Tetris I would guess, but has is retained it's charm while remaining different enough to stay worthwhile for the price point?
Let's just get it out the way, I love Tetris and Dr. Mario, I reckon they are some of the best puzzle games in the history of gaming. The amount of time I put into the both of them I wouldn't like to add up, in my youth especially. My brother got a Gameboy for Christmas with Tetris packaged into, ( I got a Sega Gamegear, (which I still have), yes we were lucky boys!) it was a large part of why I got into gaming. I remember playing well at it being on level ten with speed ten, not bad for a ten-year old! Doctor Mario was a similar addiction for me when I discovered it.
Basically Dr. Mario throws pills (split into two colours) in to a space with red, blue and yellow bacteria are and you control the pills to land on the bacteria and when you make four in a row, they die off and the line disappears. At the time, Nintendo had matched Tetris and put their spin on it and it was just as good to me. So how about now, how are the new editions, is there enough different. The previous one was Dr. Luigi, which I never got, but the pills came out as L shapes, the graphics were fancy and there was multiplayer but that was all, but it was also fourteen pounds, very expensive.
In comparison to that, Dr. Mario: Miracle Cure is eight pounds ninety-nine pence and has quite a bit more to be talked about. The Miracle Cure part of the name is a major development, in this version you can get special powers as you go along with the game, clear a line vertically or horizontally, clear a colour of bacteria that sort of thing, which is quite a good help. In turn the challenge of the game has been ramped up; the hard levels are even harder than before. Dr. Luigi makes and appearance and his dropping pills come as L shapes again, you can also go up against him as a computer controlled player. In that mode you can send bad things over to your enemy like reverse controls and such to mess with them, this works as an online and local multiplayer too (if both people have the game though).
The graphics are nice and simple, just what you need, the music is familiar to any Dr. Mario fan; it is all quite a nice little package. This was my holiday game this year and it was played well and truly whenever I could. My addiction from my youth was reignited and it was very satisfying, it even got me over Nintendo's E3 presentation! All in all, it is a quality Nintendo game from the back catalogue brought into the new generation. I would recommend this one to anyone, but then again I am a fan, it may not be some people's taste, but it is the best puzzle game on 3DS by far and I will be playing it for quite some time! I am even getting a Dr. Mario Amiibo as soon as I can (for my birthday maybe!) to celebrate my love for this game!

My vague, and crappy, attempt at a horror.... (26th June 2013)
The sound of sirens are so foreign in this party of the country that every single life has woken up and is peering out of windows or doors to find what the abnormality brought to this new found element on the usually pleasant country of Dateh.
Little do the residents know, the most hideous of sins has been committed right on they're doorstep. The slaughter of an innocent life.
As, after the disappointing results, the residents of Dateh return to bed, a shadow in the trees moves, glistening white eyes shine before they vanish, leaving behind only a high pitched giggle.
The town is strangely active the next morning as young Ted Yamuk gets out of bed, his young brow furrowed as he looks out of his bedroom window to see too many people walking about outside for this time in the morning.
Teds mum walks into the room, eyes narrowing as she spots him looking outside at the unnatural bustle of bodies.
"Ted, get changed." She tells him, hoping to keep his mind of events, but to no avail.
"What's goin' on?" He asks, swinging his small head back into the room to face his mum.
"Nothing much. Now get ready for school." His mother says, promptly leaving the room. Ted frowns in irritation.
"I will find out myself then." Ted promises himself as he squeezes into a light blue school jumper two sizes to small for him. "I'm seven years old now. I am old enough to know what happens." He continues to grumble as he finishes getting changed and heads down the hall of his mothers flat to get breakfast, following the promising smell of warm pancakes.
On the way to school, Ted is joined by a girl he had never seen before. A girl with doll like qualities. Wide, blue eyes, long perfectly straight blonde hair, unnaturally smooth skin and a voice so quiet, Ted has to lean in closely to hear what she is saying.
"Do you know what happened last night?" She asks, Tom frowns, he is the only one the adults are hiding things from. Maybe she can help him find out.
"No. But I am going to find out. Do you want to help me?" He asks her just as quietly, looking around the busy street warily.
"Can I?" She asks back, Ted thinks she is exited by the idea, but her voice is still really quiet, so can't be entirely sure.

The rental was clean and nice. It was in a perfect location in Breck. We were at the bottom of the 4 o'clock run so my sons and their dad simply skied home in the evenings. The accommodations were comfortable and I was glad to see so many utensils in the kitchen. There was plenty of room for our 5 member family and checkin and out was a breeze. Thanks.
