[After the building goes boom.]

I’d go through all the old forum posts and do the er, usual but the number of new people in the building is a bit daunting. Welcome to the building regardless – can you move out? Please? Before you’re sent through time and lied to and hurt and kidnapped by a mob and you find out you’re a fictional character too?

Can someone explain why people keep moving in here? Really, when no one knew it made sense. But surely you all know of the crazy here…before you come in, right?

Also, did everyone make it back alright from…wherever? I was […] really ill those last few days and might have missed if anyone came by. While in France. Apparently some other people were sent to different times? I hate it here, I hate it here.

Also I was wrong about Bran, you can’t trust him, he’s a liar a really bad one and he I can’t even say that filtering from him, I’m so Ella was right

Oh. And I’m Lotte. Sorry, I didn’t think of that.

Brian, I'm sorry I didn't check in with you when we got back... I'm assuming you made it back, too. I really hope so. It's just, my sister, she wasn't in France but she was in Prohibition-era Chicago and it was [...] bad, for her. I wanted to check in sooner, but I was sticking pretty close to her and, well, you said you have a younger brother, I'm sure you know what it's like. Still, I'm so sorry, and I hope you're better since I know you weren't feeling very well that last day in France. Just let me know, please because oh god I'm babbling like an idiot and I really need to know that you at least are okay and I don't need to worry!

Would anyone like to explain the ambulances from the other evening? And if I claimed to suddenly be able to change my apperance at will, would you believe it?

Hey, Sherri. This is Brian. We met the other week - I helped you carry your groceries, and we had coffee. It was really nice, thanks again for that.

I know it's early, but if you're up, I was wondering if you could do me a favor. I was playing catch this weekend and got hit in the face with a baseball. I didn't expect it to leave a mark, but I woke up this morning with a great big shiner. Do you have any skin-colored makeup that might be able to hide the color? It's really dark, and I'd hate to treat patients with this huge bruise on my face.

Thanks.

Hello, Bellos (that's short for Bellum occupants, you know). I've been reading the forums all morning. All of this fable stuff is awesome, I used to pretend I was in stories all the time when I was a kid, except I guess from the way everyone's talking that it isn't actually pretend, and everyone's talking about doing a trial and that isn't as cool but I guess it's something that you have to do, do the police really never come to this place? Wow, that makes it kind of like its own little country or something, doesn't it? And I guess that the date that everybody decided to take justice into their own hands is kind of like Bellum Independence Day. We all need to put it on our calendars. And we can have a barbeque for Bellum Independence Day next year. I love barbeque. It's tasty even if it is messy. I normally don't like getting that messy but sometimes it's worth it. Like sex. And food fights. Hey, we could have a Bellum Independence Day barbeque and food fight, that would be even better. Now I want barbeque. Are there any good barbeque places around? I saw the Chinese place but

Oh, hey, I forgot I was typing this! I'm Theo, I'm in 108. My passion is fashion, but I'm working in a warehouse for now!

Well, aren't these intriguing. I never knew the internet could provide such entertainment. I normally use my computer for business alone and even that's disturbing. What happened to the days where we valued face-to-face meetings? The warmth of a handshake, the honesty in eye-contact, the sound of someone's voice - don't these add up something that cannot be replicated by the internet?

Granted, you're all amusing. I've only paged through the last few posts or so. I've been a bit busy moving in, checking out the place and so on. I should be settled by the next business week - I did find a hardly trustworthy construction worker to help with the remodeling. Whoever was here last did a poor job of cleaning it when they left; there's mold everywhere.

Of course I'm sure you'd all rather hear about something other than my moving in process. My most sincere apologies to my neighbors though - if the noise is too bothersome, let me know when a better time to work on repairs would be. I'll have my man come by then instead.

Is there a way around this? It'll help in the long run, I suppose.

In case I forgot to mention it - I believe I didn't - I'm Xavier. I'd say it's a pleasure to meet you all but I technically haven't yet and I have a dislike of liars. Once we meet in person, I'm sure I can say it more satisfactorily. If you can find me, that is.

The place is definitely something else. By any chance, does anyone know if the effects happen even when you're currently not in the building?

What do you think of Vegas?

Miss Avery, it's been too long. I'm sorry for not contacting you in person, but I didn't want to risk missing you again. How has the prettiest LA girl I am positive I have ever met been?

A little internet forum, isn't this cute? I wonder if this is the kind of thing my assistant was telling me about - lol cats or something. Are we supposed to type normally, or badly here?

Hello, everybody. My name is Brian - I just moved in on the third floor yesterday. These apartments are really nice here. I wonder why the rent is so reasonable. Do we have cockroaches?

Is this where I talk about myself? I'm a dentist - been practicing for about 15 years now. I tend to work long hours, and I get up pretty early, so to the people on the third floor - don't be surprised if you hear me coming and going at weird hours. I'm on call most weekends for dental emergencies. Which reminds me - if anybody has a tooth problem, please don't hesitate to contact me. I promise I'm nothing like that guy from Little Shop of Horrors.

That's about it for me. I look forward to meeting all of you.

- Brian
