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.

I can imagine. At least it's easy enough to get used to.

Just the same I'm not exactly looking forward to October.

At least that's a sentiment shared by anyone who's observed a pattern in the Octobers we've already faced.

At least nothing really creepy has happened so far.

Sure, we had dogs and cats rain from the sky like the universe is running out of puns, but it doesn't appear to be an indication that the world is about to end.

On the other hand we have another month to go.

Dear God, that was stupid. I'm just going to reiterate that, because it was.

But... yes. We'll see what this month brings, then.

Pretty sure it was the stupidest thing I've seen here so far. It's still kind of funny. Like some deity out there was playing a little joke.

An infuriatingly juvenile one. It's roughly the same feeling you get when you hear a really terrible pun, except multiplied by a thousand.

[Nah it was still kind of hilarious.

...maybe Greed just has a shitty sense of humor. That's possible.]

With any luck, it'll be the end of the stupid puns.

[it doesn't help Kayneth that he's also a stick in the mud.]

Really, I can only hope so.
