009 Things Acquired - [text;]

[ossifragant]

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.

I have several devices that are registered to aliases of mine; he knows me as Konrad Brandt, and I intend to keep it that way whenever I approach him.

[ossifragant]

To be honest, that's probably for the best.

I have enough difficulty dealing with my own world and what happened there; I would really prefer to not get involved with yours any more than I have to.

That stance hasn't changed since we embarked on this little adventure, and it isn't about to change now.

[ossifragant]

I can appreciate that strategy.

[You're so much better off.]

I'd rather let things that happened there stay there than have them brought up here in any case.
