[Charlie sounds amused and a bit horrified but mostly just so amused right now.]

Went to drop off rent after I got home from errands and I learned that my landlady, a lovely elderly woman about 87 years old, has a tattoo of a red rose on the back of her left hip.

This is almost like that curse where people were dressed ridiculously and going on about how sexy they were, only significantly more awkward. I have no problem with the human form, don't get me wrong. I'd just rather not go through the day worrying about what physical attributes I'm going to discover on the guy that I buy pet toys from.

And him? Apparently he has a third nipple and has had his appendix removed. He's telling everyone he comes in contact with.

[There's the sound of a door opening, Phantom letting out happy yips and Charlie talking to the animal, something about 'very interesting and stressful day' before the feed shuts off.]

Ah, I see. Enjoy your solitude. I will miss you.

See, that's unfair. Who taught you how to guilt trip? Now I can't become a hermit.

I'm afraid it is an inborn ability.

Speaking seriously--is there something wrong?

Just stressed. People keep coming and going and I'm kind of wishing sometimes there was a warning. And warning if they're going to show up again.

Yes, I have been thinking that, too. Is it like this usually, with so many people leaving at on time? This is the first time it has happened while I've been in the City.

I dunno. I've seen people leave before, but never in big groups like this. Sort of feels like a visitors weekend but in reverse. A big group of people just suddenly elsewhere.

The timing--I think that many of them left with the visitors. Having someone leave in this universe is strange. I cannot be sad as if they had died because they haven't, and it is not as if they have only gone away temporarily.

What is saddest, I think, is that their memories of the City disappear.

Is there anything that would help?
