I do not understand this season. Truly I do not.

Perhaps all of you would care to explain it to me. I at least understand thanksgiving, but why all the gifts? One should earn what is needed.

I have decided I love the holidays.

Especially now that little Ronnie is here.

Also, Weasley Wizard Wheezes will have extended hours until Christmas Eve. We will be closing early on Christmas Eve.

I have celebrated this interesting holiday entitled Thanksgiving. I do not find that the excess of food has made me more grateful, but I did find that turkey can be a good food to eat. At least I learned something from the celebration.

Perhaps that is just the point of the holiday in general - to learn something - no matter how small.

Private: To Jessica

Did you survive the celebration? One hopes you had something other than pure liquid.

I see that we have entered the month of November. People have begun to discuss that delightful celebration of Thanksgiving - another time that revolves around food. Last year I knew little about this occassion. I find that this year, despite that there is little I have to be thankful for, I would like to experience such a meal. I do not know if I would like it, but perhaps if I experience it, it would be different.

Perhaps.

It is again one of those times that humans seem so divided on the enjoyment of a holiday versus the need to avoid it. I cannot decided which group I fall in this year. Halloween and the idea of dressing in costume does not appeal to me. I do, however, enjoy what it shows about human nature.

Also, there was a young woman I assisted to Lou's the other weekend. Would you let me know whether or not you are well?

Once again Madison Valley has left me without words to better understand its reasoning. I do not understand the purpose of these changes or why this location exists even. Do any of you have understanding of this place?

A part of me does understand why I was brought to this location. I ... I oddly have evolved. Though I know that, according to the research, you do not remember being here so the purpose of the evolution makes little sense as a purpose.

So why is Madison Valley here? And why we were all transported to the West? and why did I prefer to be without my powers

I find I am needing a way to use my abilities more than this location typically allows. Is there anyone around who is willing to train against my telekinetic powers? Perhaps someone with powers along the same lines.

Everyone is excited about pumpkin spice latte season.

I'm mainly excited that it's going to be soup season. Soup is epic.

I guess the moral of the story here is don't store your dynamite with your candles?

People still manage to astound me with their stupidity, even after being a cop as long as I have.

As Sarissa is no longer among those in Madison Valley, I find that I have several experiments that I can no longer see to conclusion.

This is definitely unfortunate.

The other day I met a young woman who described herself as 'mutant'. Are there others here who claim the same?

I find that there seems to be no rational reason that suddenly people are allowed to travel. Has anyone ventured to attempt the use of the service? If you do, I have several inquiries about the sensation. Is it a type of teleportation? Or perhaps you do not actually leave - you merely think that you leave through some kind of delusion or artificial simulation.

Then I find I have more questions if you leave. What if you were to make the decision that you would prefer to be there instead of here? Is it an option to choose to be elsewhere? Let us say, for example, you choose to go to London. You enjoy your time there and decide to stay. Is that possible? Or does whatever take you immediately return you at the expiration of your time limit. And what if, instead of staying in London, you made the decision to go to Paris while you were in London - using your own funds. Does it allow you to leave the continent?

I find that this intellectual puzzle will probably not be solved though if one is interested in undertaking such experimentation with me, I would be intrigued.

Of course, that brings us back to the original question of what we are doing here and who has 'created' or implemented this... well no better word comes to mind than experiment. I would consider it being a large mass delusion of some sort, but then I would be able to sense that my mind was tampered with in such a manner. Though I can think of no one with skills that top mine. And the one who did... well, he no longer exists and this would not fulfill his desires and interests. And as none of us know each other outside of this location, a mass delusion seems unrealistic.

Perhaps all this merely boils down to my own interest in puzzles that cannot truly be solved.

I suppose it also means I should consider doing something more active instead of sitting here allowing my mind to wander down paths that have no end.

Tell me, Madison Valley residents, how many of you are happier here than at home?

I think I need a drinking buddy.

I signed you up for school. I know you're not going to want to go, but... you're a teenager.

If no one else is willing to try out this transportation service, I'll be the guinea pig.

I see that this location has once again provided an unusual ... twist to our lives.

Sarissa

Does this addition of a countdown clock provide evidence that someone is ultimately conducting an experiment with all of us? I believe it proves my theory. And as this location is about to cease to be, in my opinion, that means that there should be no worries over experimenting on separating you from the Mantle. As you will not have the opportunity for relief without my skills therefore you should have the opportunity to experience relief for some time.

Based on the sudden addition of what have been labeled demons, please reach out if you need assistance. I am teleport capable if you give me the location. My response time is moments. Do not hesitate if you have need.

I have found that I am missing the physical exertions that were available at home. Much of that physical release came from mental skills that I was able to explore. I believe that there is a combination of both that may be available to myself at this location. So therefore, I am soliciting the populace here to see if there are construction employment opportunities available. Where are the best locations to find such things?

Thank you for your support.

I find I am in the need of a new suit and some shirts. Something appropriately structured and what many would perhaps consider formal. I think that we are often too casual in this location. Perhaps if we wore more appropriate dress less ... inappropriate behavior would happen.

I kind of wish my wife were here, although she doesn't really go for any of this sappy stuff.

But at least I'm enjoying the easy chocolate availability.

And it seems the stores are also getting ready for "easter" which apparently also involves chocolate.

Why do so many Earth holidays involve candy? Not that I'm complaining, mind you.

I am looking to see if this place has any resources or knowledge of psychic abilities. I am looking to garner further information on a specific topic.

The internet here clearly has rabbit warrens you could delve into and never return. Some of the information that appears when searched is quite... fascinating. I cannot yet but marvel that people allow such things to be in the public forum.

I know my amusement at this collection of information seems quite odd, but really, people are fascinating. There are whole sections of the internet dedicated to cats of all things.

That being said, there are areas that I find quite fascinating. The amount of research done by high caliber professionals that is available to any who are interested is quite helpful. I find myself reviewing human history with great ease. It is important to see how the teller colors the story.

We never did finish our conversation. When it is convenient, I would propose we continue to discuss what we needed to interrupt for your social obligations. Is there an ideal time?

The internet here is full of rather unusual things.

One assumes that back home it is as well, but I've never had the need to investigate when other data is available. People are such fascinating creatures and the knowledge collected is even more so.

As I have never seen this phenomenon, perhaps someone could explain to me the unusual obsession with pumpkin in this location? Does it have a specific purpose or need?
