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.

You realize that in another two months or so we're due for that sudden influx of people again - the ones who aren't supposed to be here.

It seems to happen every six months or so. At least we can remember it now; it was different when I first arrived.

Snakes would have been interesting. But porcupines? Congratulations you thought of something worse than sharks.



...but that might have been funny if I could just stay inside and watch actually.

That's quite the apt summary of everything that's happened, really.

You weren't here for February, though, when we had some other strange weather — the exact same thing for a good week straight, sunny and mild with no variation whatsoever, and unseasonably warm for a winter month.

Why would you ever want porcupines raining from the sky?

[...That isn't why he was going to respond to this, hang on.]

The weather here has been pretty weird in the past. At some point you've just got to accept that it's always going to be weird and take cover inside when weird things happen. Admittedly I never expected the sharks or cats and dogs, but it's not really worth getting worked up over.

[armoredsoul]

You would consider all that entertainment.

What exactly happened with the crystals? Were they transporting people at random or something?

Did you catch a kitty too, Mr. Greed?

...usually things aren't quite this eventful, but I'm aware of the irony of saying this in September whenever something extremely bizarre invariably tends to happen in October.

I suppose all I can say on that front is be prepared for anything, really.

I haven't been here that long but I've realised that this place isn't quite what it seems. I nearly got hit on the head the other day by a Pokémon that looked like a cat. They just rained down over the trees and onto people's heads. Porcupines? That must hurt, right?

[It's bound to hurt.]

Did you manage to catch any of these swarm Pokémon, Greed?

Hey, you never know. The month is still young. Who's to say that other wild things can't happen?
