IT'S TUESDAY

[sauerkraus]

[While some mornings mean chocolate-chip pancakes in the mess hall, Tuesday's menu is an entirely different matter. Tuesday is a true Russian roulette of gastronomic health issues, and there is always the off-chance that you'll find a relative or a dear friend in the pot... or so the rumour goes. Whatever your feelings about Tuesdays in the

[Just passing by, when--hold on a moment]

...Forgive me, but are you transparent?

Madam Director seems to have massive stores of power, yes. While I do not have much specific information regarding it, I promise you it would be difficult to investigate further than others have, here.

Hee hee hee! I suppose I can understand that. Still, I am pleased that you are so... charming. ♥

[sauerkraus]

Ah, so the power lies within a person rather than the place itself? Or perhaps it is because you assume it lies in a person that nobody looks at the site in question. Geo-mantic energies are often the stronger...

Hmm... I am not well versed in this school of thought, but if you would care to discuss this with me further, I can be a rather... eager student.

[Sorry, ramble overrides eyerake]

It is not an unusual way of thinking. Perhaps we should use the analogy of space, ja? Think of the entirety of the cosmos with all its many planets and stars. Only a few, if I may use the Earth understanding of cosmology, are inhabitable or even useful to sentient lifeforms and budding civilizations. What makes them attractive is compatibility with a species or a peoples, and the same runs here.

You see, humans and other entities are encased by a body, but are much more complex and subtle than a simple biological examination could ever reveal. We have spirits and those spirits thrive on energy; so, much in the same way as planets attract colonists, so too does landscape brimming with numinous energies attract people.

What I am saying is that this may be one such place, and that the energy here may not be tied to this Director, but rather to the swampland itself!

How very fascinating! I have never heard of such a thing, though there is no doubt in my mind that it is a distinct possibility in this place--other, more senior members of this encampment have seemed to take to referring to Camp as its own, sentient structure.

How very insightful you are! But you always were a bright species.

[sauerkraus]

Oh, it is just a matter of making comparisons and inferences. Nothing startling and new, I am sure. Tell me of these... senior members. Do they codify this belief, or have any of them gone to investigate further? Find the source, as it was.

[takeme2urpants]

Still, it is the rare counselor in this place that makes the effort. As far as locating the source, any attempt to do so has ended in the odd transformation of the party of parties involved. Madam Director, or, as you say, this encampment, has a penchant for secrecy.

[sauerkraus]

Perhaps some form of protection? I do wonder if it is the land or some other defense set upon it by external forces. Are there any legends of this place?

[takeme2urpants]

[Close to you~ at least, closer than before]

What manner of legends, my friend?

[sauerkraus]

Legends of. . . [one step away]

Old legends of the land. Our European ones are very well documented, but not so much the ones here, particularly when the original peoples did not really place boundaries on the land. Have any been unearthed?

[takeme2urpants]

[I CAN BE PATIENT I simply do not like to be]

I haven't the slightest idea--Earth where I am from is entirely unified, and so I have a very limited grasp of history. This particular area of Louisiana is called Hell--does this help?

[sauerkraus]

[THAT IS HORRIFYING]

Where did you hear it referred to as Hell?

[takeme2urpants]

I do not exactly recall, though I believe the individual who told me used a map as evidence.

[sauerkraus]

Come to think of it, I have yet to be shown a map of the premises...

[takeme2urpants]

I would not know where to locate one, I'm afraid... we do have a small shop, of sorts, though perhaps it would be best if you used the internet?
