DAY 53 - [Text]

[babel_hacker]

So my fourth (yep, 4th) anniversary of being here is coming up this weekend. Normally, I’d get all sappy and nostalgic about how long I’ve been here, as well as thinking about everything that’s just normal here compared to back home. And maybe ask for suggestions for what to do to celebrate yet another year in this world.

But I picked up one of those shiny feathers lying around earlier and I rather ask about that first.

So any ideas? Speculations? It’s the first time I see feathers like this around, so I doubt it’s a normal thing that happens. When I picked it up, I don’t feel anything different so it seems harmless.

But I wouldn’t be surprised if something happened. On the other hand, it’d be kinda nice if just an odd case of sudden shiny feathers and nothing terrible will pop up to torment us. I think the only thing against that is it’s still April and Halloween’s far away. On the other hand, maybe the Forces That Be might switched things around because following traditions is getting boring and think things need to get mixed up!

[Atsuro, no.]

Still… It kind of say something that after a while, I try to pinpoint any patterns in these sorts of things. Like sure, it might make some things easier. But on the other hand, somehow, this place always find a way to really surprise you when you don’t expect it. Like when you think you get into a routine and starting to think everything’s normal? Surprise!

Or maybe the surprise this time is just these feathers. Who knows?

...This is rather rambly. The thought of my fourth anniversary is coming up still get to me. [That and the dull aching homesickness.] So I guess I want to vent out my feelings into any topic.

But I’m still open to anniversary ideas. I’m in Goldenrod right now, if that helps with thinking up suggestions!

...Do you think it’s a bad idea to use these feathers as a quill pen?

If you ask I, Mr. Denzel Crocker, this place is going to take a life-time to figure out.

[But then this is also based on him learning about Fairy Godparents himself]

Pokemon and this place work in more mysterious ways then those fairies.

If someone who has been here four years hasn't seen feathers like this before, I think the chances of this being a reoccurring phenomena are low. In any case, I haven't had a chance to start to construct any of the scientific equipment I had back home, but I wouldn't jump to any conclusions one way or another. I haven't noticed any adverse effects from having picked one up either, although, the fact that they appeared out of no where are there have been numerous reports of them seems to imply that their appearance isn't simply caused by a flock of flying Pokemon passing through. It warrants looking into for sure, but I wouldn't worry too much about them until we have reason to. You could try using one as a quill pen. I'd be interested to hear if you discover anything that way. You never know when it comes to investigating something like this!

...Happy Anniversary by the way! I'm Carlos the Scientist. I've only been here for a month or so, so it's hard for me to imagine being here four years, but I suppose I'd celebrate the same way you might celebrate a birthday or a marriage anniversary. Invite over your friends, go out to eat, maybe bake a cake?

Maybe using them as a quill pen is the secret to unlocking whatever mysteries they're hiding.

I'm not sure if congratulations or a happy anniversary are in order. Either way, it's been a really long time.

These feathers are odd, though. I'm starting to think that things like these usually mean something's going to happen. What it is though, who's to say?

[awesmazings]

[Huh, sounds like nobody knows what the feathers are...]

I don't see why you couldn't make a pen outta them, if you wanted!

As for your anniversary...maybe you could treat yourself to something nice? You are in Goldenrod, after all- there's lotsa stuff to do here!

You have to think about how much time it's been since something big happened. Every time there is a moment of relative calm something comes to put a stop to it. I've been so busy that I haven't kept track.

[He was going to continue but frowns slightly.]

You remind me, I came here a few months before you did, if I'm remembering right.
