[It's late, and Fred has been thinking. She's out in the lobby of the hotel, taking a drink of her coffee.]

July marks that I've been here one year. With everything going on, it's almost fitting. [She frowns.] I never chose to be here, but it's come to be all that I have. I've had close friends come and go, and I've even been home.

Angel's gone now, and all I have left is the hotel, a hotel we opened to help Newcomers. I know I probably wouldn't be too pleased if a bunch of people showed up in my city, but what's happening is wrong. I don't have much here, but what I do means more to me than anything. I have a nearly empty building and I'm offering whatever I do have to help.

Help the helpless, that was our motto back home. [There's a small smile at the memory of Angel Investigations.] I don't think any of us are helpless here. So-- guess I'm just putting it out there. I want to help and I have some means to do it.

Sunday, July 1st 2012

Weather Sunshowers in the morning, with a curious rain of colored candies starting at 9am. This clears up into a glorious sunny afternoon. High 25°C and a low of 18°C (77deg;F/64°F)

Current Moon Phase: Waxing Gibbous

Morning sirens go off at 5:17am, and evening sirens are at 9:16pm.

Happy Canada Day Weekend! Enjoy 1/2 Price Admission at the Zoo or Aquarium, spend a sunny afternoon at the beach, parks or out on one of Gibson's Marina Boat Rentals. Just don't set off any illegal fireworks after darkness, because the governor claims you'll be fined (but really, what cops are gonna come out after siren to write you crazy kids up?)

I am over one hundred years old, imperial absolute. I have missed people before, been made briefly sad by my Mistresses's absences. But I have never mourned before.

I am stuck in feedback loops. Statistically, she will probably return in a tiny fraction of the time that typically passed between my Mistress's visits. But she may not. I cannot seem to resolve any of my routines considering the matter, and given how many of them are occupied with precisely that - I find my functions somewhat strained.

Is this how grief feels for everyone? How do you handle it?

[Kurt's soft, high-pitched voice pipes up, breathy and energetic as usual, and he sounds like he always does. The only difference between this post and his usual ones, really, is the fact that it's not a video-- But that could be for all sorts of reasons, right? Right.]

It was quite startling, to have to fix our Darkness-proofing this morning! It's lucky I wake up so early, really, or I might have missed it. [A small laugh.] I wouldn't eat any of those Skittles, though, as tempting as they may be.

[Avoiding the issue, avoiding the issue...] Anyway, I-- I apologize for not answering calls over the weekend. I've been very busy. It's never my intention to worry anyone, so I apologize.

Especially you, Ms. Vesper-- I'm terribly sorry. Can I take a rain check on that coffee?
