Twelfth Gate

I was too busy being a turtle when the actual date passed to notice that I've been here for more than 6 months already... and while we're between spurts of weirdness, I wanted to say...

[Jennifer pauses, and there's some pen taps on the page before she goes on.]

Thanks, mostly. To everyone who's made friends with me here, and helped me when I needed it, and made me feel welcomed here, even when I was a total stranger to all of you. It means a lot, and I feel like I don't express my gratitude enough.

It helps that people here seem so open to it.

[kungfuwitch]

Well... most of the people here are, at least. Hermits excluded.

[forsometimenow]

True- there will always be the recluses in every group.

[she laughs]

Some more stubborn than others.

[forsometimenow]

Don't I know. Some of them remind me of a colleague of mine from back home... he was aggressively anti-social.

[kungfuwitch]

Aggressively so? Dare I ask?

[forsometimenow]

Where to even begin with Rodney... he had his moments of being nice, but he could also be a huge jerk to everyone. To the point where he'd push most of them away. Also, he whined a lot, especially when he was sick or hungry. He was a frequent patient for every sort of real or imagined malady, too.

[kungfuwitch]

Ooooh a hypochondriac, too? That's rough.

[forsometimenow]

He could be quite a handful sometimes, yes. Especially during the few times we had disease outbreaks.

[kungfuwitch]

Well that... doesn't sound like fun at all.
