Musings

[Posted as soon as he gets home from this]

I'm looking to play ball, and would like to find a court.

[Can be found after Tim gets home from work. It's in Harry's usual childish, hella sloppy handwriting and held up by two frog magnets that probably weren't ever there before.]

We need more eggs. And flour.

And peppermint stuff.

At least, I think it was peppermint. Tasted like peppermint. I don't remember what the label said

-Harry

P.S. DON'T LOOK AROUND YET. Exit. Living room would be better. I got it covered.

Hypothetically speaking, does anyone know how to get tomato soup off of the ceiling? What about eggs?

Also, hypothetically speaking, is there a way to get a curious smell out of a house in exactly 4 hours and 12 minutes?

One last hypothetical question, say there was a minor explosion on a stove and the Mr. Clean magic eraser wasn't working to get the marks off the wall...Would you hang a picture or paint over it?

[Text sent midday Thursday]

You lied.

Hi : )

At 9am sharp, there is a knock on Daryl Hockney's door.  If there is no answer within five minutes, there is a knock on Adam Morgenstern's door.  Upon opening said door, one will find a man.  He is approximately 5'4", sharply dressed, and wearing a bow on his lapel.  He is holding a folded piece of blue construction paper and will hand it to Daryl Hockney upon seeing her.  (If he sees Adam first, he will be polite, but request to speak with Daryl).  He has also been informed of Daryl's personality, and given some tips from Tim.  The note is as follows:

Daryl,

I have provided an expert in Interior Design to assist you in remodeling your apartment.  He is a gift, and I would be quite happy if you accept.  I know that you perhaps might not see the need for him, but I assure you he is every bit as brilliant as you are.  His talents just happen to lie in decorating.  Explain to him the feel you want for each room and the purpose you wish to have it serve.  He's not quite as verbose as you or I, so try to use small words.  

LTim

[He started to write 'Love' but then thought better of it.  His 'T' will have a slight tail to it, like it's an 'L' with a top.]

I would apologize for being on drugs the other night, but I suspect you derived quite a bit of pleasure from that exchange.

The toaster is selling Jane's furniture.

[Posted midday Tuesday, public to all save S. Duncan]

In the aftermath of this difficult time, I am sure that many people are undergoing personal renovations of their homes in addition to the reconstruction being done on the buildings themselves. I was fortunate enough to have my furniture largely spared by the Reavers, and in the spirit of regrowth have decided to renovate my own interior design as well.

Here is a list of the items I am looking to sell:
[Each heading comes with included dimensions of the object(s) and, at the bottom of the post are attached pictures.]

• One living room chair with foot rest
• One living room sofa
• One coffee table
• Three end tables
• One kitchen table and four chairs
• One full-sized bed
• One nightstand
• One chest of drawers
• One desk

They have all been used, but are in good condition. I will discuss the matters of pricing and transport over private messages, though I would like to say initially that I am very open to negotiation and will ensure that proper transportation is provided. Thank you for your time.

As a final notice, I would advise that anyone with a dog allergy does not purchase anything from me.

[Note taped to Daryl's door at 9am Monday morning.  The apology is crossed out pretty well, but if she holds it to the light, she'll see it.  If she uses her powers, she'll see that Tim is just worried about her.]

Saw the news.  I'm sorry.  If you need anything, let me know.

[Slipped under the door of Poppy's room at 9am.]

A packet containing registration for the Spring Semester at University of Washington.  All paperwork indicates that everything is paid for, and classes start in one week.  A car key to a blue Hyundai Sonata is also included, as well as an American Express Gold Card in her name, tied to Tim's bank account.  There is a post-it note on top of the packet reading:

As per our agreement for moving in.  The car is yours as long as you're going to classes and getting good grades.  The credit card is for school supplies, clothing, and accessories you may need.  Parking is already paid for the semester.  We'll talk later if you have any questions.

[Placed on the bedside table next to where Harry's been sleeping, 9am]

A key chain with a mini helicopter and a key to Tim's apartment with a note:

Seeing as Hamartia is in shambles, I figured we could make this permanent?

[Adam gets his hands on his smart phone sometime mid-morning Sunday. He posts without hesitation because the Vicoprofen for his foot has removed any filter he has.]

So. So thisd weekend ewith the zombies one had a hurt leg and i nammed his Shuffles but tdhen he broke my foot and it was sad. I feel sad fof the Shuffles. I will always remember him and his gumpy leg and how funny it was until be broked my footr and I named him Suffles. have you named your zombies yet because i think they just want maybe nam,es and then they'd be nicer to us.

[Text to D. Hockney]
Hope you're safe.  Don't get eaten.  I'd miss you

[Text to C. Bartholomew]

[During their Rescue Mission]

[ Text to Jane Cooper ]

Happy New Year, Jane. I hope that you are enjoying yourself.

[ Text to Detective Warda ]

Happy New Year, Detective Warda. Please give her my regards as I will not be doing so myself.

[ Text to Tim Pecker ]

Happy New Year, Tim. Please give my regards to Harry.

[ Text to Adam Morgenstern ]

Happy New Year, Adam.

[ Locked to B. Slater ]

Happy New Year, Detective Slater. I hope that 2011 sees you well.

[ Locked to P. Worth ]

Ms. Worth,

I hope that you have had a pleasant evening in preparation for the new decade. While I know very little of how the last decade has treated you, it is my sincere hope that you enjoy the next. Your reconnection with your granddaughter will only enhance the years to come. Jane is an exceptional woman, and I hope that you are able to appreciate that even more in 2011.

Best Regards,

Daryl Hockney

[ Locked to J. Ignace ]

While I imagine that you do not place stock in the fact that the Earth has circled the Sun one more time, I wish you a happy New Year. I am still waiting for our competition, Justin.

[ Locked to E. Eirwen ]

Happy New Year, Ms. Eirwen.

New Year's Eve Party.  Atom. Formal Attire.  There's a dress hanging in your closet, as well as shoes.  

[A package is delivered to Harry's apartment, which includes one tuxedo, tailored perfectly to Harry without making him feel too much like it's a straight jacked (but it still fits very well), one clip-on tie, and a Panasonic Toughbook 19 Rugged Laptop that should withstand being thrown at the bathtub]

Harry,
Try on the tux, but it should fit you perfectly. I hope you don't mind that I picked out a tie for you instead, all the clip-on bowties looked silly.

Tim

PS - The laptop is a replacement. It's a bit more durable than your last one.
