Ninth Manifesto

[proudambassador]

My roof is leaking. But, but! This time, I still have a roof, yes? The last time, it left. And I was stuck facing a creature I would rather not see again. This time, there is water dripping down when I least expect it, wherever it feels I would least enjoy it, but the creatures are outside, and this is a very good change.

I hope the casino is still there. But I am not going out there to check. If Vir were here, he would. He runs faster, and when such monstrosities are going around, prowling through our streets, it is better to send the faster Centauri, no? The younger, more spry one. Also, he is resourceful. Abrahamo Lincolni, I ask you...

But I have 'potato chips,' which are edible, more or less, and canned mushy green round things. There was no label on the can. I suspect it was unlabeled since people would not eat them if they were warned of what the can contained. But once it is opened and you are hungry, then you are stuck, no? Humans are often like that.

I suppose it is time to go back to making sure the drips do not put out my little fire, yes? I would not like to see that go out.

I know... I'm not suffering, I'm human now is all.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

There is no denying that you were suffering, hm? And to be human... I am not so sure that it is not suffering.

[istoppedtime.livejournal.com]

I said I'm fine, Mollari. Human isn't crippled.

If you say so, I will not contradict it.

When you do have the time, I have pinpointed all of the leaks, I do believe. It would be helpful to have someone else giving aid, especially in keeping the ladder steady. I am not used to doing such things, repairs. But when in that one city on Earth in the boot-shaped country... yes?

[istoppedtime.livejournal.com]

Boot-sha - oh, right.

I got plenty experience by now, but you want to learn to do it for yourself anyway. Can't really rely on anything else.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

Yes. If I had you do it for me, and then you were to leave, where would I be? But instruction would be very helpful, no?

[istoppedtime.livejournal.com]

Exactly. Can't rely on anyone staying around.

You got anything by way of materials? Tools are easy, we got a bunch already

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

It is a shame, though for most people they are going back to some place far more civilized, no?

I have a hammer, with which I have hit my thumb twice now, nails, and tiles from a house nearby that no one was using. I also have pieces of wood. I do not know if they will help, but I have them.

... depends.

It's a good start. I'll be coming by.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

It does depend. I have not met enough people to know for certain yet, no.

I thank you.
