Would whoever is making that ridiculous racket quiet DOWN already?!

CRIPES!

Now that's an oddity, make no mistake. I thought that no one was using those...oh, the things on the wheels without horses pulling them...cars! That was it. I thought no one was using the cars on these streets.

Something smells funny around here, too...

Awrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...

Why does it have to be so cold around here? Forget two of those big smelly things stumbling around like a pair of drunk sheep. I want to go out somewhere!

They found more food?!

AWOOOOOOO-OOOOO, this is the greatest, bestest and most fantastic Christmas present ever!

RRRRAAAAARRGH! Marluxia! If you so much as come within a mile of this place again, I'll make sure to get front row seats for seeing your nasty, pink-fuzzed face blown out by every person with a gun in this building! Rrrrrrryou keep your conniving little foul-smelling agendas AWAY FROM HERE! HRRAAAAWR!


...Grrrr...Flute? Anyone else out there who's a normal doctor or has magic healing...can you please stop by? We could really use the help...

Huff puff...all that dead fish along the shoreline just reeks! Worse than that whale! It smells like...like oil! Cripes, all that perfectly good fish...now it's completely unedible!

(Is that what that loud explosion-like noise was about? You know there are better ways to get fish out of that river...)

Hrrrrf, maybe the monster'll take all that back, too...

HAH! Seeeee? See, I TOLD YOU that I didn't do anything! She was fine all along!

No pitchforks and bonfires THIS time, thank you!

I didn't do it, I SWEAR! I didn't KILL HER!

[Private to Dahlia Hawthorne // UNHACKABLE]


I believe you owe me dinner.

Oh ohhhh listen up, I've got lots and lots to say!

Giselle and I have decided to hold the wedding this next Monday! There's no sense in waiting around any longer, no sir! And obviously there's lots to do before then! Rrrrf, but I wanted to ask some important questions!

Harry! Can you be the best man?

Rrrrm, and need...yes, more friends there as well! V, and Godot...you can certainly participate, too! Just don't bring a shovel, Godot.

Flute, I'd like you to be the flower girl! I was gonna ask you earlier, but then you had to up and disappear and it was verrry stressful!

Aaaaaand and and...OH, almost forgot! We need a priest! Do we have any priests here? Other than the poorly-rated blue-haired fellow. And a ring bearer, too! Any willing kids who are good at bearing rings? You'll be handsomely rewarded, of course!

Huff puff, sooooo excited!...

Rrrrrr, uhrmmm...

Has anyone seen Flute about? I needed to ask her something, yes, but I haven't smelled seen her around the Garden or nearby at all!

[Filtered from Giselle]

Ohhhohhh, this is such a problem, rrrr... The next proper and logical step with Giselle is proposing marriage, but...but considering the state of things! It's just not a good environment to raise cubs in! Oho, I do want cubs, make no mistake about that...but ohhh, don't want to see anything happen to them, not with these crab monsters and worrrrse!

And Giselle! It would be the very worst of terrible, awful things to put her through that! No no, couldn't do that, but...can't just hold off forever, either! Rrrr...just want to...

Huff puff, what should I do...

RrrrARG, I'm so hungry! It was easier to ignore before with all the running and disaster and horrible, smelly, nasty crab monsters...but now it's just obvious that the rations are smaller, and that's BAD, rrrrr because I'm soooo hungry!

Huff puff, ohhh...this isn't good, not good at all...

GISELLE! Giselle, are you alright?! Please please please please please tell me you're alright!

[OOC: Supposed to be private, but oops, he forgot]


Ahhhrrr, rrrrr...Harry? Been keeping a better eye on the calendar, and I've been starting to feel rather hungry ravenous er...a little cranky lately. I was wondering, rrrrm, if arrangements could be made for a night or two from now while I'm still reasonable? Such as a nice secure place to stay! Plus maybe a few other things...

Ahhhhrr, uhhhm...Godot? I-I guess I should say thanks. I could've!... But thanks. Even though I've still got this horrible headache!

Except...except I'm really confused! Rrr, why would you...I'm just confused!

And I feel kind of ill...

*Sounds of growling and cabinet doors slamming*

RRRRRG! How can the milk I just got be spoiled already?! If all the food's being rationed, can't they ration out something that won't go bad? Hrrrr, awwwwwwrrr, if they can make cereal that'll last ten years in this dimension, why can't they do the same for milk? How'm I supposed to eat a bowl of cereal if there's NO DAMNED MILK for it?! Pounds of sugar, pounds of sugar-frosted corn flakes, and no sugar-frosted milk! Or sugar-frosted COWS, for that matter!

AARRRGGGGG...I hate this place!

*more growling sounds*

Hohhhhh, guess what guess what guess what!

I have officially finished my 12-step program! Yes, after many long nights of extensive soul-searching and meditation, I have finished going through my books and achieved a state of oneness with myself and the powers that be! I am a new and better man; yes, I've turned over a new leaf!

Of course, as the books mention, remaining, uhhhh...abstinent for the rest of my life will be a constant struggle. BUT! I feel confident in my ability to resist temptation and to curb my antisocial urges!

So I've done it, and I feel grrrrrrEAT! Free from the stranglehold of my bad self! Why, I wouldn't eat a sweet little shepherdess if you offered her up on a plate with potatoes and dressing!

Ahhh, so relieved, I wanna go bound somewhere! ...Or at least I would if my shoulder was feeling better!
