It's safe to say that given electronic & temporal oddities, I should stop attempting to number these

Even in an ordinary city, the saying 'be careful what you wish for,' isn't without merit, because of how easy it is for people to, with Epimethean lack of foresight, waste their time and energy on frivolous things that they won't enjoy, or take foolish risks, or simply to want things that are bad for them, like a child with a cavity and a bag of Halloween candy. In a place like New Moore, however, it takes on new and unseen dimensions, like a cube expanding to a hypercube. However, despite the purported feline fatality rate, curiosity is a central enough trait that it's impossible to avoid... Given all the imponderable variables that have been introduced on this island so far, there's no way of knowing, but I still find myself wishing I knew what's likely to happen next.

Have you met Haruhi?

[maiditoutalive]

hmmm maybe
shes the one who does the announcements for your club right

[notjohnsmith]

When she doesn't delegate them to the secretary, yes.

[maiditoutalive]

is that you or is that somebody else?

[notjohnsmith]

That's me.

[maiditoutalive]

ah
well i dont think ive actually fully been introduced to her yet
feel free to explain regardless

[notjohnsmith]

Unproductive conversations about the supernatural, based on reckless, improbable, and unprovable speculations completely devoid of rational pattern are a recurring feature. For self-defense purposes, some countermeasures are necessary.

[maiditoutalive]

how do you know i couldnt provide you with a rational pattern for some of it?

[notjohnsmith]

I'm not sure it's worth the risk.

[maiditoutalive]

how will you know unless you try?

[notjohnsmith]

Maybe I should just introduce the two of you and see what happens.

[maiditoutalive]

somehow i dont think you mean that in a positive way

[notjohnsmith]

That's not it at all.

It seems like you might be the sort of person who's more suitable to deal with her directly than most. I wouldn't want her -- or myself -- to be misunderstood.

[maiditoutalive]

uh ok
what does it take to be suitable to deal with her??

[notjohnsmith]

An interest in the supernatural, a tolerance for irrational behavior, and a willingness to explore sudden unexpected tangents without losing composure.

[maiditoutalive]

sometimes i think all i do is deal with unexpected tangents

[notjohnsmith]

Then you'd fit in well with the rest of us.

[maiditoutalive]

i will look forward to meeting her then
