009 Things Acquired - [text;]
You know, there's something to be said about this place.
I get here in April and things are strange as a newcomer. It takes some getting used to, but it's not all bad. Then there's May and that's when things get screwy. The weird hail during an otherwise sunny week, and then that weekend when everything went to hell with the crystals and people popping up who aren't normally here. I only wish I could remember more of it clearly.
Then, in June, it snowed that one day. Actually snowed! In the middle of summer! What the hell are the chances of that? It melted the next day naturally so whatever caused it fixed itself.
July gave us a hurricane with sharks flying through the air and then August was suspiciously normal when it comes to weather.
Now, here we are, three days into September, and we've already had dogs and cats falling from the sky like someone up there is taking a metaphor a little too literally.
I'm disappointed we didn't get snakes raining from the sky today. Or porcupines.
I've been here just about five months now and I must admit this place has its ways of keeping a person entertained.

What exactly happened with the crystals? Were they transporting people at random or something?
no subject
It was a very strange few days. You could travel the routes in a matter of minutes instead of days.
I couldn't tell you where they came from. They sort of appeared one day and then things went to hell for a bit, they were all destroyed and then things went back to normal. Or at the very least what passes for normal here.

You said people who weren't normally here appeared as well?

[And Kimbley but haha he's not mentioning that.]
There was a little boy from our world, an Ishballan. And... that's right, I met the Envy from the other world too. He was a little lizard trapped in a jar.

[...also you'll have to give Al about five minutes because he is dying of laughter at that oh my god.]
Are you serious? In a jar?
no subject
[This didn't work.
He was a pet Envy in a jar for about half a day.]
no subject
[Greed, you are Al's hero.]
no subject
The homunculi in that world are different. Apparently different enough that getting trapped in a little jar is something of a problem for him.

...but then you guys can regenerate anyway, so that should be a moot point. Maybe there's some way to seal them too, but it works differently. I'll have to ask Brother about it later.

Unfortunately most of the details are lost on me. I can't tell you many of the events that happened back there or even all of the differences, though I do know a few here and there.
