So Valentine's Day is just around the corner, huh? (At least that's what the computer's telling me...) I guess that's nice for all the people who've managed to find love in such a hell hole. I really don't even know why I'm bothering with this thing at all...

If anyone wants to come keep a bored girl company on Valentine's Day, the invitation is

...Maureen? I thought you were in LA.

[plzpookie]

Mark? Hey babe!

Ah... No? Why would I be in LA?

[onetosurvive]

...Because that's where you were moving the last time we talked? You know, before all communication in and out of New York stopped working?

[plzpookie]

No.... The last time we talked was at my engagement party yesterday.

What the hell, babe... Did you hit your head or something?

[onetosurvive]

Your Engagement party? C'mon, Maureen. April Fools Day is still a month and a half away.

[plzpookie]

Who said I was foolin'?

Are you in on this too, babe? Some girl with a whip told me it was 2009... And that she was from the future. Please don't tell me you're part of the joke too...

[onetosurvive]

It is 2009. You left for LA in December of '07. I'm not buying this. How'd you get back in the city? No one's gotten out since the attack. Dont' get me wrong, I'm glad to see you're okay, but no one even really knows what's going on out there.

[plzpookie]

How'd I get back? Pookie! Come on, I never even left!

Look, all I remember is falling asleep last night with one hell of a headache from the fight and subsequent alcohol. Next thing I know I'm waking up in the streets... And everything looks shot to hell.

[onetosurvive]

Whoa, whoa, back up. Let's start over here. You honestly don't remember leaving the city?

[plzpookie]

Does this look like a face that'd lie to you? Come on, babe... I don't know what you're talking about, but I never left...

[onetosurvive]

Actually, yes, but that's speaking from experience. Not to mention, it's not really important right now.

This is serious, I'm only going to ask you once; You really don't remember anything about moving to LA, or hearing anything on the news about a monster attacking New York.

[plzpookie]

You're right... it's not important right now.

And oh my God, babe. How many times do I have to tell you that I never moved to LA? You didn't ask me once, it's all you've been able to talk about!

Monsters attacking-- Who's the one who told me to be serious again?

[onetosurvive]

Have you looked at the city? Probably not the way you remember things, are they?

[plzpookie]

Well obviously. It looks like something out of Godzilla or some other disaster movie. But I didn't really think...

You're not kidding, are you, babe?

[onetosurvive]

I only wish I were. It's not exactly Godzilla, seeing as it's not a giant dinosaur-beast. It's something completely out of this world. I've got footage if you want proof, I swear I'm not making this up.

Back in January, the thing just... tore through Manhattan. No one has gotten out, or in by choice since then. There's been no communication with anyone outside, until recently, and that was shady at best.

[plzpookie]

You said by choice... So people have been showing up... but sort of like what happened with me, then? And I can't contact Joanne? Not that I would I just--

What the hell... I thought the girl was just pulling my leg at most...
