( Jaina waved at her then waited while her aunt ordered her own drink. Or was she her aunt here? Jaina didn’t know how that worked but as far as she was concerned, nothing had changed. It was just easier that way. )

It's been cold enough that when I ain't workin' on furniture orders, I've taken to spendin' my time readin'. I'm open to any good book recommendations if you've got them. Currently I've been readin' some Sherman Alexie, and he's got a good voice. Different from most of what I've read at home, but in a good way.

I'm wondering if perhaps you'd like to try an evening together that might have a bit less potential to go wrong. Say, a trip to the theater followed by hot chocolate?

....well, at least my clumsiness in the kitchen had a somewhat happy ending.

Piper, thanks for your help in the lobby. I really do appreciate you stepping in, even if we didn't know how valuable you were at the time.

I can't believe I'm asking this

Hey, so I'm getting some weird error messages on the security app when I try to pull the footage for Potts Tower last night.

Am I doing this wrong? Can one of you guys pull that for me?

So I am a complete spaz who saw your entry the other day, thought to reply to it later and then wound up cleaning up after and semi-babysitting some Dutch anarcho-communists that got into the lobby of Stark Industries all afternoon. Typical, right?

I am still interested.

[Bruce Banner, Steve Rogers (MCU)]

Heading out of town for a couple days. Leaving tonight.

Bruce, don't wreck any of my property while I'm gone.

Steve, don't wreck anyone else's property while I'm gone.

Dude who put the gross graffiti on the side of the tower.

It's creepy as hell. This whole "If they glow, you know" is in a couple places around the city I've seen today.

[Added] Any of you glowing people, if one of these assholes starts messing with you let me know. You need out, I'll get you an out.

Those receipts that were stolen the other night. I think our source is an abandoned building on van Dyke St. (link).

Agora's forums suggest it used to be a good D.L. spot, but has been dry and had a heavy private security presence in recent months. And they have been using city power, which seems a bit odd for a flophouse. Shall we investigate?

This place is rather fascinating, well, as fascinating as any place can be that really is no place that I know of at all. And, I suppose, as fascinating as any place really can be.

The buildings are taller than the tallest trees of Middle Earth. Imagine! If I did not know better, I would believe that all the wizards of old had come through to here as well to create such tall buildings.

That being said, I am working on a beginning to my story. How should it go? I had something fairly clever written before, but in the excitement of coming here, I seem to have forgotten the words precisely. It will be called, A Hobbit's Tale: There and Back Again. Has quite a ring to it, though, I am not certain who will ever eventually read it. At least I do have a title.

Dwellings here are so much different than a hobbit hole. Hmm, maybe that is how it should start. "A hobbit hole is such a simple dwelling. Homely and safe, built neatly within the hills of the Shire..." Does sound a bit wordy to me, though. Ah, it will come to me, I imagine, some time soon. I had something clever noted down before.

In the meanwhile, I'm afraid I may be burning through my weed a bit faster than I anticipated. It's a shame no other hobbit is here, as they would more than likely have some with them. Legolas? Fili or Kili? Either of you have anything to smoke from home? May help clear my head to think a bit on how to start the tale again.

They said I should introduce myself, but I don't think I'll be here long enough. I need to be home. I have everything I need there. The baby has to be born there.

Katniss? They said that you were here. Is it true?

JOHANNA

Annie's here and Finnick isn't

I mean, he's here. But he went somewhere this morning and hasn't come back.

This is very inconvenient.

I've been trying to become more acquainted with the music of this world and I came across something today that puzzled me.

How exactly does a person Wang Chung?

Stark.

Your name is on this blasted thing they're telling me is a telephone.

Just what on earth have you done now?

Last night Potts Tower was vandalized, with something about if it's glowing then you know. We're working on getting it cleaned off, but if you or someone you know saw something at all yesterday evening, let me or Alex Vause know about it. We're working on getting some stills from the security footage, and as soon as we have those we'll release them. Until then any information that we get will be really helpful. Thanks.

Hey, is it too late to ask if my boyfriend can tag along?

As we grow older and realize more clearly the limitations of human happiness, we come to see that the only real and abiding pleasure in life is to give pleasure to other people.

- P.G. Wodehouse

I'd have spray-painted an engagement announcement on the side of a building, but someone already got to Potts Tower.

Well, I suppose it's about time I see about getting a job of some kind, isn't it?

I think the ghost is checking my email.

I had a dream that I was reading through them. When I woke up, I had like twenty new messages that were marked as read and organized into folders. The important ones were even starred.

-- I've been asked to make sure friends don't kill friends tonight.
-- Could we reschedule?
-- Unless that means you want to kill me. Then that request would mean I need to fit both in.
