Those other doctors certainly picked a very festive time to take me out of my "fictional reality", as they put it. Luckily, I didn't have any plans to disturb. I got a 'Merry Christmas' right before my I'd imagine standard 'Hello, you're fictional' speech yesterday.

Help a poor new arrival out, will you?
On a scale of one to ten: How upset should I be that I'm here? It's so hard to make a clear judgement a place when it's decorated for the holidays.

A while ago, some things turned up rather unexpectedly - my set of encyclopedia from home, for one! And I have a few things... not from my collection, but from that of a friend. He was released, but the books stayed. It's less the information that I miss and more the feeling and smell of the books. Being able to settle down with one of them, like catching up with an old friend. Even if they tell me the same story they have every time, it was comforting. I'm in the process of rebuilding. I still haven't been able to find anywhere where they sell novels and short stories, though. Everything seems to be non-fiction. Which I certainly appreciate! It's just not quite the same.

Oh, alchemy can be learned - it's a science, after all - but I'm afraid I haven't the knack for it. I can memorize diagrams and ingredient lists forever, but I can't seem to get it right. I don't really mind too much, though.
