My apartment is a wreck and my landlord sucks. If I sleep on the couch in the office for a night or two, will I get fired?

[Locked to J. Copeland]
I can't even begin to tell you how much I owe you for helping me. Thank you. And I'll keep my mouth shut. If I can do anything to repay you, please let me know.

I'm just really glad that the most valuable thing I owned aside from the Grimmerie, my laptop, was with me through that whole mess. Because I'm pretty sure most everything else is going to have to be scrapped. Between the weather blowing in through the broken windows and the general mayhem left behind by those things, my apartment is trash.

Sometimes, I get the feeling that I'm being punished for something I haven't even done yet.

I would have wished everyone a Merry Christmas, but I was too busy drowning in rabid consumerism and the complete bastardization of an originally-pagan and probably at one point meaningful holiday for the nefarious purposes of wealthy capitalists.

So. You know. Happy Sunday instead.

Also, um. If anyone sees a cat hanging around Hamartia, he's mine. He has a collar, his name is Chistery. And he might have wings today. So if you could just let me know, I'll come to wherever he's wandered to and grab him.


[There is, in fact, a winged cat slinking around Hamartia for all of Sunday. He's black and white, with a red collar and the appropriate license tags. His wings are also black and white to match his fur, and capable of bearing him aloft for short distances. The cat is not a fan of flying, though. At about 7 AM on Monday, his wings will begin to shrink and over the course of about an hour will disappear – back to being a normal cat for Chistery.]

So. This is gonna sound really cheesy, but I just can't stop myself from asking. The holidays are upon us and I have to admit that I am a huge, huge, huge fan of the holidays. So. I was wondering...

Anyone in the mood to go caroling sometime this week? I don't know what people are doing this time of year, and even though I've been in the city for a few years, I don't really have a good network of people to hang out with, and those that I do have plans with their families. My family, sadly, is not here so.

Okay. Sorry for the pity party there!

tl;dr: Wanna go caroling? Give me a call. [insert cell number here]

[Phone call to K. Michaels, mid-morning on Saturday]

Ring, ring!

Seriously? A girl can't even listen to the radio without being forced to entertain a psycho. What's the point of having vigilantes running around everywhere, circumventing the law and the judicial process, if it's not even going to cut down on the sheer crazy we've got going on here?

And for the creepy person on the radio, if you ever read this, you totally screwed up my spellcasting essay. Thanks. Thanks a ton.

Okay. Hypothetically, you're walking down the street - you're listening to your IPod, you're thinking about the tuna salad you had for lunch, you're not paying attention. The most beautiful girl you've ever seen walks in front of you and you bump into each other. Apologies are made and she's gone before you can even catch her name.

You know though that this girl, this woman is someone special. But she's already out of your sight.

What do you do? (Note: your answer will have the endless thanks of one Fabian Greene. Make it good)

On another unrelated note, where's the coolest place in town to get wasted?

I don't want to cause a problem and I assure you, I'm a friend who can sympathize. I'm looking for the girl who turns green.

[Both messages are sent midday on Sunday.]

Our health care plan does not cover random acts of magic. How are you feeling?



[ Private to C. Knight ]

While I could be wrong, I do believe you are to blame for the impressive bruise I have developed on my back.

Sorry if this has been asked before (I haven't kept up on the forums), but those weird visions that were happening...are all the owners of the memories you see Creations? Or are they just random visions from people from Musings and people from humanity? Are the visions necessarily real?

Wow, more questions than I expected to have. I know that no one's really got any decent answers, but if you have theories, I'd love to hear them.

I really despise the idea of doing this, but after the third one failed and ran out crying, I am requiring an assistant.

You people are so easy to control. Tell me, did anyone do anything they regret terribly while their inhibitions were gone? Just think, I can play you all like a puppet on a string any time I want. Who were your lovers with last night? Do you even know?

Aw shit.

FUCK

I need therapy.

I am so sorry. I- I don't know what to say.

I couldn't help but notice that all the information packets that I left in the lobby for PETA are still there. I would encourage everyone in Hamartia for the fifth time to pick up one of these very informative packets and read up. The treatment of animals in this country (and most of the others) is absolutely abhorrent! And they're animals. What are they going to do without people to step up and look out for them?

Even if you don't buy into all of what PETA stands for, you could at least take a look. There's plenty of non-vegetarian practices that promote the general wellbeing of animals! I also have information packets from the Humane Society, if you'd prefer.

And if anyone from either of the other buildings wants information, just ask. I don't have a problem dropping stuff off for interested parties.

Edit: For the record, I know very well that PETA can be crazy. That doesn't mean that everything they say is crazy. The information contained in the packets I'm talking about is specific and not-crazy.
