Hmm.

Apparently, not everyone made it out of the storm intact. Ten people are missing.

It's very ... troubling.

It's ... strange. That woman ... the blonde one.

...in the paper.

It's almost like ---

I don't know. It's... strange. I wonder if she is alright. Her family must be concerned for her.

Why am I so ... concerned? I don't know her. I've never heard of her. I've never even seen someone like her before. She just seems ... familiar, somehow, and I don't understand how.

For some reason...
just seeing her.

It's conflicting, almost. I'm worried, yet...

Angry.

How can you be angry at a stranger?

The little girl. She... ~~No, you do not know her~~ I hope she's found. That must be very troubling for her parents. She's very young to be missing.

...

This is ridiculous. I must not be getting enough sleep. Probably stemming from the fact that I wanted to have sex with any female that got within twenty feet of me. Thank god that is over, I've never felt so oddly before.

Perhaps I should consult the doctor?

...hmmm. This is all very strange.

I wanted to apologize.

There was no reason for me to have done ... what I did. I know that isn't much of an excuse, but I don't know what else I can say. Well, there is something else I could say, but I don't think you'd believe me, even if I tried.

But, I am sorry. I shouldn't have done ... that. I realize that I'm probably the last person you want to hear from, but I still felt as if I owed you an apology.

So...

I'm sorry.

I made it out of the storm remarkably well. I ended up being trapped at work, but the Funeral Home had a fireplace, which is more than my townhouse can boast. Thankfully Elle was here with me, or I would have been quite worried about her. I have spare food for her on hand, but unfortunately, there wasn't a lot available for me.

But, I survived, and that's what matters, I suppose.

I'm beginning to think Shizuka might be right on the idea of getting another cat. I can't spend all my time with Elle, and she's even more stir-crazy than usual. Maybe a fellow feline will help her expend her extra energy.

	I know! D: I hope those people are okay... Being trapped in a Funeral Home sounds a bit scary. But you had Elle to keep you company ^__^ You went out of food, though? It's gonna be hard to get food this days, so if you need anything... (Reply to this) (Thread)

I hope so. It's very troubling that they are lost.

Well, it wasn't terrible. I spent the time working on the few items I had arranged to repair, though I had to work on them by candlelight. I'm glad that she was there, because I would have been worried about her at home all by herself.

I don't store much food at the Funeral Home... just a few things in my office. But I was able to find some food when I got home yesterday.

	Yes. Especially that little girl and... yeah. That's good. I think I would have gone crazy if I were all by myself... ~~it was so dark and so cold...><.~~ Well, thankfully I wasn't. And you had your kitty. So all good. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ticktocktick 2009-02-25 06:08 pm UTC (link)
	...yes, I hope that her parents find her. She's far too young to be missing. Well, I hope that I'm still sane. I'm used to being alone, and Elle was good company, considering once the power went out she wanted to sit on top of me to conserve warmth. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	liza_g 2009-02-25 06:19 pm UTC (link)
	I hope so too. No child should suffer in any way. Well, you sound sane. Animals are such a good company. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	... hmm. ~~I don't suppose she looks familiar to you, at all, does she?~~ They're much easier to get along with than humans, if you ask me. Elle is happy as long as I keep her fed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	liza_g 2009-02-25 06:26 pm UTC (link)
	...w-what? Did I said something weird...? They also need loving. But you're right- animals are much easier to understand than humans. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ticktocktick 2009-02-25 06:32 pm UTC (link)
	No, nothing. Well, I hope Elle is getting enough 'love'. Shizuka gives her a fair amount, anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Shizuka? Yes, she is. She's a hard worker, and I appreciate her dedication. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	No need to apologize. I...think I understand why it happened. ...and I enjoyed it... (Reply to this) (Thread)

There's definite reason to apologize, considering it's not even close to being appropriate to ... attack people that come into the Funeral Home. I'm ... not like that, usually. ...If you understand, you're one step ahead of me.

...at least I wasn't the only one. I suppose if it had to happen, at least it wasn't a deplorable experience.

I was worried that I ... was a little too ... rough.

	Honestly, I'm not usually like that either. Maybe there was something in the water. But it happened and there's no point in regretting it. No, I...liked that actually. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I wouldn't assume that you were, Ms. Redfield... You seem like a good person, Shizuka has always spoken well of you ~~...just what I needed, another reason to make this interaction awkward~~. ...I don't regret it. I ... needed it, if that makes any sense at all.

It would have been nice to actually get to know you instead of forcibly attacking you the moment you set foot in the building.

...you're quite sure you're all right?

	I did too, and honestly, I needed it before and after as well. We aren't the only ones. Clearly, it was entirely out of our hands. You did wait a few minutes... Would you like to count my bruises? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Well, I don't see why this would be a comfort, but for me it seemed to die down after our ... encounter. I don't know about you, but the way I felt was completely abnormal. I understand the desire to have sex, but one shouldn't think about it all the time, or ... be pained to be without.

...I didn't have a lot of self control after being touched.

Bruises? Really?

	I agree with you on all accounts. I'm not quite sure why it happened, but at least it's over with. It worked out in the long run. Yes, really. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Screened for Gabriel and Claire] ticktocktick 2009-02-25 06:58 pm UTC (link)
	It's ... troubling to know that I was not the only person who felt that way. I wonder if it could be ... a virus? Disease? I don't know. ...yes, it did. This sounds like a terrible thing to say, but... thank you. If there's anything I can do to make it up to you, please let me know. ...I apologize, but I wasn't really thinking straight.

	A disease wouldn't have passed. Could have been a virus, but I've never heard of any that did that. You don't need to make it up to me, but if you insist, dinner couldn't hurt. I told you, I liked it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

My medical expertise is limited, but I've never heard of such a virus, either. I was trying to justify getting an appointment with the doctor, but exactly how I could discuss it is beyond me. "For a week, I was obsessed with having sex and was in physical pain without it" ... they'd transfer me to the psych ward for sex addiction.

Dinner? ... Of course. I can arrange for that.

You weren't the only one.

	They might, or they might test you for some strange disorders. It went away so I doubt they would automatically assume you're a lunatic. Sounds splendid. Oh really? I'm pleased to hear that. [OOC: She'll trim them while he sleeps.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I'm not exactly interested in visiting with a shrink. ...Hopefully not. Considering I haven't had so much as a check up in more than a year, they're likely to assume the worst.

You're brave, I'll give you that.

Of the two partners I had, you were much preferable, though I suppose that isn't exactly something you want to hear. ...On that note, I don't have any diseases or anything, so you won't have to get yourself checked out.

[OOC: Somehow 'trim' translated to 'shave' when I read that, and if you think about it, that's pretty just revenge. It should be added to Ema's prank kick.]

	I don't blame you. Imagine being paid to sit and listen to someone's problems and pretend to care? ...not necessarily. Brave? Why is that? Why would I not want to hear that I was better than someone else? ...I'm clean as well. [YES] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I find psychology intriguing to a point, but that doesn't mean I want people trying to figure me out, either.

Most women would run the other way. We had hardly said two words to each other beforehand, and ... I wasn't exactly gentle. One would think those are bad signs.

I meant that I was sleeping around. People don't care to learn they weren't first pickings, generally.

	Can you even figure out yourself? That's all that really matters. We were both dealing with extenuating circumstances. ...two partners isn't exactly considered sleeping around. [He could draw them on.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	...More or less, I suppose. Is anyone really capable of understanding themselves? That's a nice way of putting it. I suppose not. ~~Is it sad, that two people is sleeping around for me?~~ [Sylar should not be trusted to draw his own brows. Period.

	Most likely not, but you can always try, and come closer than anybody else. If you say so. It's not. You don't want to be a slut, it's a turn-off. [Ahahahaha] (Reply to this) (Parent)
