I've always been interested in expansion, and soon the paperwork will be processed on my new acquisition. Conrad's myriad of debts were difficult to settle quickly.

However! While many developments are less than ideal at the moment, a silver lining is that the bureaucracy moves much faster like this.

I'm not entirely sure why everyone's acting so strangely lately, but I suppose that's really none of my business :( How about a game of Cluedo, though? That'll cheer everyone right up, don't you think? :)

Sorry, my services won't be available for a while. Maybe ever again. Why?

Honestly, I just can't be arsed. There's a perfectly good hospital, or whatever suffices for one around here. They'll take care of you.

I hate this. Everyone's different again. Does anyone even get surprised by these things anymore? I don't. Because, really, what's the point? We get adjusted, then things change back, then we get adjusted and something else equally crazy and stupid happens and the whole stupid cycle repeats itself.

Why bother adjusting at all? Sussing it all out with one another? We know what this is, so why fight it anymore?

I'm just... so tired of it all.

Listen, just because you all are interested in talking or singing into the late hours of the night doesn't mean all of us are. Some of us are studying, and have actual bedtimes to stick to, so unless you're going to offer some expertise in building bridges and calculating mine shafts, keep the noise down already. I have a test this week and I am going to ace it.

Except for you, Mistress Marvel. You're cool. You really need to show me how you blew up that building later.

See, this? All this? All these lovely little personality flips? I like these. It makes the shit, annoying people boring, and the boring people fun. I like fun people, and more importantly, I like fun people who want to go out and get pissed with me.

Speaking of people who want to go out and get proper blackout drunk, has anyone seen Sarah the last few days? I've tried phoning her, but... there's no answer. Says it's been disconnected. Shit, did someone send her photos off my phone?

Sarah, I swear, if you're reading this, it's just personal use, love, I swear. They're old photos!

You know, I actually haven't even been outside my apartment in like, three days. I've been doing nothing but just... reading this book. It's a really, super good book! It's mega weird, though, because I don't think I've just picked up a book and read it in... oh, I dunno, like 300 years? Something like that.

It's a love story, first of all. Or at least, I think it is. It's about these two kids who fall in love, but their families totally hate each other, right? And then they decide that they wanna run away from it all, but it gets complicated, and people die, and the two kids accidentally end up- whoops! Spoilers!

If anyone wants to read it, I'll happily lend it out. BUT only if you give me one of yours to read instead.

What's been going on out here, anyway?
