It seems that it is very popular right now to own and acquire pets. Pet adoption frequently increases in the summer months. On average, there are several reasons given for this: more free time, mild weather, the immediate presence of children in the home. Likely that is not the case for the residents of this city. I suspect companionship and a need ( Read more... )

I've noticed more new voices than usual over the network recently, a high frequency of arrivals. I do wonder if the pull's activity correlates to the same force that generated the earthquake- if this is a sign of further trouble, or a side effect. Still no official word or scientific report, only street speculations. But there must be someone ( Read more... )

[The video feed clicks on around sundown tonight, when all the colors of evening are streaming across the sky. From the vantage point, which looks down on a number of shorter buildings, it's obvious that the person recording the video is someplace high, perhaps a tower somewhere.]

This is a good place.

[His voice is muffled somewhat by the breeze ( Read more... )

Where am I?

[ A young woman - probably late teens, maybe early twenties - with messy crimson hair leans in, staring down at the camera feed with a completely unreadable expression. After a moment, she reaches out and delicately prods it - with the pad of her middle finger, oddly enough ( Read more... )

[The radio cuts in, static nearly drowning out an almost harsh voice] Damn- [The radio turns off and on again, the sound of footsteps crunching down the path soon joined by a thick Irish lilt.]

A right mess you have here, and I’ve seen my share of messes. Got yerself a long way to go to beat the top but- [there’s a pause and Atlas’s voice raises] ( Read more... )

Everyone still holding up okay? It seems that aside from a few issues, the city's recovering from that disaster. Life goes on, yeah?

Hey, a thought just occurred to me. We really need to give our dear boss "Mr. Connolly" a warm Club 24 "welcome", you know, as a gift for all the hard work and dedication he provides. From the bottom of our hearts ( Read more... )

[Billy is messing around with his NV again, looking more at home than last week-- is that a new old T-shirt he's wearing? Well, at least it's lacking all the mysterious stains of his old one.]

Got a job interview tomorrow. Never thought I'd be looking into custodial.

Or at a school. Talk about "the few, the proud."

[He leans back on the sofa ( Read more... )

At approximately 2:45 this morning, Sam Merlotte was taken in for questioning by a group of people I believe from their questions and demeanor were agents of Afterglow, Inc ( Read more... )

People here are awfully trusting. I'm not talking about the natives, in this case--they seem to treat us newcomers with a healthy amount of skepticism, which I can understand, a little. The rest of you aren't quite as wary, though. [A small, quiet laugh.] It's still something to get used to. I wonder when people will stop surprising me.

[There's ( Read more... )

[ Those who have seen Light before should notice the difference in him. First he's older, the childish softness has gone from his face, and his eyes are perhaps a little colder. Since arriving here a few days ago, riddled with bullets from his grand finale, he's had time to peruse the network and think. Finally feeling strong enough, and having ( Read more... )
