Musings

I've typed this message out several times and deleted it every time. Thought I might as well just go with it before I permanently ruin my delete key.

I just wanted to apologise for all that happened. I realise that I should have been forward about what had happened, and I am sincerely sorry for whatever complications I caused between yourself and Preston. It is my hope that you and he have spoken and reconciled.

Perhaps I'll stop by Reliquary some time for a cup. Non-alcoholic, of course. I just do not wish to cause you any further trouble, my friend, so I may keep my space.

Yours,
Lucas

I've been holed up inside Reliquary with the fog as it is, but I wanted to ensure you're both remaining inside, where it's safe.

Did you make it home safely? I'm still angered. I've no idea what to

Don't worry, Monarch, step on out of the closet, we all love you!

[It took a bit of digging through the forums to put things together, but he manages to locate him.]

I thought we might talk, some time.

Missed you at the party. Or at least I think I missed you. One would think I'd be able to tell one of my dearest friends apart from strangers.

Why is picking a costume so hard? Anyone have any tips or suggestions?

[Locked to L. Davies]

Hey, roomie! So about this costume party... we're going, right?

Hi, Aaron. It's Nell, from the other day in the hall. How are you?

How can anyone live in this city? If it's not overcast, it's raining; it's June and it's only in the upper 50s. If I wanted to have this weather I'd be back in London.

Anyway, my boutique by Lake Union Park is open for business and I am giving out a one time offer of free make-overs for men and women alike. Drag in friends if you'd like, I just want my opening to be one where anyone can see what my store has to offer.

I've been here long enough that I thought it was finally time to introduce myself here. I moved in a couple weeks ago, and the lack of steady work keeps me oh-so-busy so I've hardly had a moment to spare. [Note: That was sarcasm.]

I'm Lucas, and I'll be teaching English at one of the local middle schools come fall. Anyone out there who like karaoke or checking out the local music scene, please give me a poke. I'm always up for something like that if anyone has a lead.

So, hello, hi, good evening/afternoon/morning.

Going out on a limb, here, and wondering if you're the same E. Pride that once lived in Clovelly. If you aren't, please ignore this message and chalk it up to mistaken identities.

Yours,
L. Davies

So I wouldn't have thought it was physically possible for any apartment building to be shittier than the one I left. Because that one was condemned thanks to the asbestos, the rats nesting in the floors, and the cockroaches that thought my bedroom was their scummy little hive. And yet when I finally have no choice but to move and think that maybe, just maybe, I'm scaling up a little into an also-shitty-but-not-as-shitty place, IT GETS TORN ASS FROM END BY FUCKING ZOMBIES.

Seriously, what the hell? I get that there's probably not a building in the city that DIDN'T get turned into shredded festering shithole because of this whole whateverthefuck just went on, but why did the ONE PLACE I decide to move into get the obvious worst of it short of being COMPLETELY FUCKING LEVELED. I'd consider myself lucky that they didn't ruin everything I'd moved in last week if I thought luck had anything to do with it.

At least I've got a bed back, even if I did have to pry it practically off the fucking ceiling. That back room was starting to get really uncomfortably claustrophobic.

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.

I think it advisable we all do our best to avoid government attention. Please be aware of who your medical care is provided by and if they are a trustworthy individual. The public is clamoring for someone(s) to blame for this nightmare.

In addition, if you are unable to return home or you are wondering if it is safe to do so, the likely answer is yes, but I can check for you to be certain. There are, I understand, a few Thomas Inc., Charities that have set up all over the city for those without a roof.

It has been over six weeks since this forum's last incidence of a threatening or otherwise aggressive anonymous post. Though the dates are not exact, it seems as if the holiday of Halloween garnered a great deal of such activity. I am therefore curious as to why Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Eve did not receive the same treatment. Is it because Halloween and its ties to ghosts and ghouls inspire the less clever to adopt such personas, or were our anonymous commenters simply too distracted by an overindulgence in food and drink to act?

How did I get a fan, Jane?

I honestly had no idea any one person could eat that much ramen in one sitting.

Bunny, you have my eternal respect. And at least twenty pictures to commemorate your win

AKI-CON STARTS TOMORROW IN BELLEVUE~ I AM SO EXCITED. I have all my costumes ready and my room booked! (It's always easier to stay than commute. Traffic sucks.) Wish me luck with the contests?

I think I've fallen in love.

Man have I missed living in an actual city. Seattle? > Edwardsville. Bright lights. Fast cars. Frat parties. University life? Way cooler than I thought it would be. Just have to remember to pace myself. Must find some time for studying in between festivities. There's like. An event for everything. Amazing.

So. Now that I'm up in the middle of the night and actively not studying. Is there anyone in Bathos that feels like an epic battle of the bands via Rock Band? It'll be legendary.

seattle is a great city. a really great city. don't get me wrong! but ah i think i may be very lost.

i got directions from the university district earlier but the man who gave them to me was wearing a construction hellmet and then he started talking to a tree.

i just past a statue of john lenin. or maybe jon lenin. its hard to spell and type on a phone.

i need to get to hamartia. any advice? i will pay you in jokes.

Odd question probably no one will like: does anyone think the company was trying to help us? With the syringes I mean.

Does anyone know if the Centro party is gonna have tight security? The last time I had a mask on, someone tried to put a hole in me.
