Musings

Filtered to C. Byron

Hello there. I was wondering if I could bend your ear for a tic.

Oh my God, moving is such a huge pain! It's like this terrible never-ending flood of boxes and movers and people unpacking things and asking me questions. Seriously, it's a new apartment! I don't know where anything goes! You put it somewhere, and that's where it goes. Someone just has to tell me later, and that's fine. Really!

At least some of the boxes are starting to get cleared out, and the furniture is all delivered and everything is starting to look pretty. I mean thank goodness, right?

So! To celebrate my moving in, I want to throw a big party. Housewarming, except not actually at the house, because it needs to be bigger than that. Like, huge! I already have a couple venues in mind, but I'd love suggestions or requests or just general RSVPs! Come and meet me, people! And please, call me Kylie.

It's such a shame city air is so vile, and that Seattle is foggy and damp all the time.

Anyway, I'm pretty new to town and really don't want to make new friends, but I should and I was wondering if anyone knows a good place to get your hair done. Great Clips destroyed my hair. My girl-fro went from mildly controllable to impossibly crazy. Also, I accidentally won two tickets to the Seattle Seahawks game against the Saints. Anyone want them?

Lunapie, can you please stop "doing science" with my conditioner? It's expensive, and if you bring up the fact that you pay for it, I'll walk out and never buy groceries again.

I got a job! It's a 9-5 desk job, malo para mi concentración but better than nada. I start Monday.

We have a friend in common. Do we want to talk about it?

Hey, do you know any good pizza places that deliver to the Aubade?

I helped stop a drug deal tonight. Like, a major one. This dude in a bird mask was there, he looked pretty pissed at us breaking up the party. I got pictures?

Hey, how's that whip treating you? Working well?

Hello Hi Hey Hello,

I meant to get this to you sooner, but I've been having a bit of a crazy few weeks. I seriously don't know what's up with me. Anyway, I'm really sorry about the way I left your office. I was just a little stunned and needed some time to process what you told me. I'd also like to apologize for any interactions you might have had with my roommate Daryl. She can be a little abrasive when it comes to things. She means well most of the time.

I've decided that I can't accept this without knowing for sure that we are blood related. I couldn't in good conscience accept a legacy by mistake. I'm not saying that I do not trust your judgment. I just feel it would be wrong for me to blindly accept it. I hope you understand.

P.S. We should get to know each other as well. It'd be weird otherwise.

Mr. Sparke, welcome to Seattle. Penelope Worth, of Worth Financials. I believe I can be of service?

Don't exactly know where I ought to ask for this sort of thing, but I'm looking for a roommate. As long as you can pay your bills and don't mind a smoker in the next room, I'll take you.

My name's Kenna Mackenzie. I'm new in town, don't know that many people here.

should I what the hell, why not I run with an investigative group called the Paranormal Investigation Team. We're nothing formal, just a bunch of Creations good at tracking down the sort of complaints that the police will laugh you off for. If you see anything that might warrant taking care of, or you've got the sort of talents you think we might have use for, don't hesitate to contact me.

If anyone around here knows a good drummer, mind sending 'em my way?

Freakin' Noah can't keep beat without one these days.

So...you do tech stuff right?

Can you do anything with fire? Not something that creates fire, but something that channels it? Preferably in the form of arrows? A gun is fine too but...I don't like killing people.

Also, can you do armor? Stuff that'll protect someone from getting burned/lessen the damage from a flesh wound or something?

Sorry if this stuff is vague. I'm not really well versed on details of this stuff. I usually just get it forced on me or dropped from the fucking sky

I am seeking contact with dog owners, preferably in the Bathos apartment complex - though any of the three would suffice. Please reply to this post if you are willing to share advice on the care and keeping of dogs. Input from experienced dog owners would be much appreciated.
