Reina,

I have been offered a very large, very important case - apparently someone from Musings who knew my reputation has learned of my presence here. This case requires travel, and I will likely be gone for a while. I have taken care of things here, and the rent for the apartment has been paid for the next year. You can reach me at the usual email address, if there is anything you need. I will be in touch.

Justin

[Private to D. Hockney]

I regret that we were unable to organize our competition. I will be out of town for a case, but perhaps when I return there will be no zombie apocalypse to get in our way. [...] I can be reached at [email address] if you would ever like to converse.

J.I.

Hey, primo, es bien?

[locked to D. Hockney]
Did you survive the zombie apocalypse? Justin would be sad if you didn't.

[public]
Is anyone concerned that those Reaver things might be tracked backed to Creations?

[text to R. Ignace]
If you are in the apartment, I am on my way upstairs. If you are not, I would prefer you stay where you are so long as the location is secure.

[text to J. Cooper]
Are you safe?

[locked to D. Hockney]
I suppose you have a hypothesis on this new occurrence?

I hope I trust you are intelligent enough to at least stay safely inside.

I realized that I missed giving you your Christmas present before the stockings went down. Are you free sometime this week?

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

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.

Do you believe that "seasonal depression" is more closely correlated to sun exposure or social factors?

Because I will be attending a function tomorrow night, I'm going to have to cancel on our session. Assuming you don't already have one, I would like it if you went with me as my date.

How are you holding up? Any more memories?

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?

[Private to J. Ignace]
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.

I've found a place, it's located at [address]. It's not too busy. I hope you don't mind that it's small as well. I'm free mostly in the afternoons unless I have an appointment to attend. I'm free on Thursday and Friday of this week if you would like to meet then.

I am 87% certain that a public forum is a very bad idea. However

Hello, residents of Seattle. I have just arrived, and I'd like to offer my services to my fellow Creations. I have worked as a P.I. in Musings for several years under the tutelage of a more experienced investigator, so now that I am in a new location I will be opening up my own service. I can be contacted at [phone number], for those who are interested.

Also, I am in need of a sparring partner familiar with capoeira, as I left all of mine behind when I moved. If anyone knows the style well enough that I could practice with them, I would appreciate some company during my workout.
