It's been a few months, but I'm back in Goldenrod. I'd say I'm glad to be back, but apparently the ground shaking had to go and happen again not long after I got off the train. I don't have much experience with earthquakes, but we've had a few in a row. That can't exactly be a good sign.

Anyone know what the hell is going on? Is this going to be happening all the time now? At least they're not causing any damage, though the crystal I grabbed back in May makes me think that this is some kind of omen of things to come.

In any event, there are a few of you I wouldn't mind speaking with now that I've returned. I think you all know who you are but I'll be in contact at some point regardless.

Let's hope we've seen the last of this crap until then, yeah?

Action for Goldenrod City
[After he fires off the message, Greed spends the rest of the day getting reacquainted with the city. He's never been the sort to stay put for very long, so making the decision to roost in Goldenrod is, well, a little unusual. But he supposes it's not so different than when he decided to return to Dublith.

The locals don't seem too bothered by the tremor, but maybe that's because Greed isn't going around asking each individual person what they think about the current strange occurrence. He spends some time pestering a few people about it just the same, though everyone is going just as clueless as him.

Late in the afternoon, Greed can be found with a horde of Pumpkaboo following behind him and jabbering like the world's most irritating birds.

Once in a while they'll break rank to all shout "BOO!" at once at an unsuspecting passerby.

.....he's so sorry.]

I try not to get too worried about stuff like this, I've seen too much in my time here

but there's always a chance it could be something big so yeah keep your guard up

Knowing this place, it's possible that it's nothing, but it makes me think with all of these tremors that something is coming. A really bad earthquake, maybe. Or something worse, who can say.

But maybe it's nothing to worry about.

a couple years ago a bunch of giant robot things appeared and rampaged across the countryside

Ended up fine in the end but people were acting like it was the end times or something

anyway

just stay prepared for this place to throw monkey wrenches into your plans

that's what I've gotten used to

When you put it that way I can see why you would.

I've gone half a year without my plans getting screwed with. Can't say I blame this place for wanting to keep my on my toes.

stay here long enough and your plans will DEFINITELY get screwed with

calling it now

[It's not like his plans weren't horribly screwed with before coming here as it is.]

As long as fire never rains from the sky, I guess I don't have much to complain about.

dude careful

don't jinx it

Shit

I shouldn't say things like that in October.

seriously

shit ALWAYS goes down here in october

I knew that, too, and here I go running my mouth.

Here's to hoping it's something we can deal with.

if its any comfort, its usually nothing fatal

... or at least i've never HEARD of anybody dying

That is rather comforting, actually.

It could always be much worse.

this place has never once lived up to my home in terms of bad shit

until it does, i usually try not to worry

I can't say I can imagine it being as bad as where I'm from either.

At least that is comforting.

yeah, Envy kind of gave me that impression too.

this place is a big step up from where a lot of us come from, I think

To be honest, I like it.

It's a home. I can't call the place I came from home.

yeah

me either

another thing we've got in common, huh?

We make quite a group, don't we? You, me and Envy.

yeah

that's the other thing that I've been able to find here that I wasn't able to back home


people who are like me.

I'd say that's a pretty good deal.

This place really isn't so bad.

when the worst thing about a place is that sometimes people LEAVE it, you know you've got something pretty good going on

You've got that right.

If only people wouldn't leave this place.

I've already noticed I've been here longer than many others. Seems like it would get tough after a while.

yeah

try being here for four years


i've seen a lot of people come and go

kind of sucks

but in the end i'm lucky to have been here this long

It must be hard.

[But then, he has a similar problem. The downside to being effectively immortal is outliving everyone you will ever meet.]

I can't imagine going back now. Remembering this place or not.

I don't want to go, even with the bad.

_{[Heather fortunately can't say that she knows what it's like to be immortal... but deep down, she has always wondered a little bit about whether or not the reincarnation thing will be ongoing.]

[She's pretty much decided that she doesn't want to know.]

[It barely even matters here, anyway.]}

yeah.

sometimes I think about what going back would be like.

I have this feeling that I WON'T be, to be honest, but you never really know. 

there's no warning or anything, when it happens it just HAPPENS.

I wish I could say I was prepared for that, but I'm really not.

I have almost everything here, and almost nothing back home.

There's one friend.

That's basically it.
