[pretend it's 10 PM on the dot, and the mun didn't get distracted by the 4th Wall Meme, as
Rilo Kiley's voice pipes up over the journals this week, instead of Leonard Cohen ...]
O-kaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, kids! Sorry I'm late, I was [making up with my girlfriend after pissing her off supremely] ambushed by a bunch of First Gens who couldn't remember what sex, drugs, or rock n' roll were, and had to give them a nice, solid lesson. You would not BELIEVE what's under some of that armor, loyal listeners. [he whistles] They kept me for a good solid week, so ... let's see what I missed out on!
I didn't get a chance to welcome our grand total of threeeeee new people:
James Watson,
Alaric Saltzman, and
Lexi Branson, first of all. Hi guys, how's tricks?
In the classified section,
someone's looking for a job,
this guy's looking for info about living in town, there's
a missing cat to keep an eye out for, CastleNet got
hacked again.
[he flips some more pages, then turns off the stereo]
In more important news ... in case you missed it, there was a funeral for Arthur. I didn't know him, but ... I still went. You guys should know how I feel about this sort of thing, by now. And if you don't - we'll just say I take it pretty seriously, and leave it at that. I'm ... surprisingly not in the mood for getting people's hair up, tonight.
[he scribbles up a quick filter: Away From Riful, Her Allies, Etc]
There's too much serious stuff goin' down. I'm sure you've all heard about
Felix's observations in the forest. If you haven't answered
Ino's call-to-arms yet, what're you waiting for? Go do it! Tell her what you can do, even if it's helping stock the clinic or the outposts, or keeping watch somewhere. Yours truly's got his eye on the journals - so even I'm doing my part. C'mon. We're a community, whether we like it or not. Let's start acting like one. I know we can do it - I've seen it before. Prove to me - to yourselves - that it's possible.
