This has to be the single strangest junk e-mail I've ever gotten.

Of the matter of snow here. Both of us have grasped
The mortal architect had brought to life,
My keyhole blows a gale
XV. The International Circumpolar Stations: The Greely Expedition
And beyond, the same sound of bees
A rabbit carcass in its stiffened fur.
And he is swathed in ever-petrified dread;

It's almost poetic.

In related news, I'm finally done catching up with all of my e-mails and voice mails. I never thought it'd take so long to get through two months of backlog, but I guess you don't realize how much stuff you get until it all piles up. At least I don't have to worry about it anymore...

... Do you not know how to check these things?

[attorneyatlol]

Of course I know how to check them! I wasn't procrastinating. I was gone.

[vonkarmas.livejournal.com]

You were gone? Gone where?

[attorneyatlol]

I'm still trying to figure that one out.

[vonkarmas.livejournal.com]

What do you mean?

[attorneyatlol]

...Ah, that's right. It happened before you got here.

Um. Has anyone mentioned the kinds of things this place is capable of yet?

[vonkarmas.livejournal.com]

Are you saying that the community did this to you?

[attorneyatlol]

Unless I wandered off somewhere for two months and got amnesia, that seems to be the most likely explanation.

[vonkarmas.livejournal.com]

... Knowing you and your foolish ways that is a plausible justification. It is also more believable.

[attorneyatlol]

...It was the community, Franziska.

[vonkarmas.livejournal.com]

Just because you got lost due to your own devices, doesn't mean you need to blame the community.

[attorneyatlol]

Look, it's not the first time something like that's happened. I mean, it was the first time something like that happened to me, but the community has relocated people before.

[vonkarmas.livejournal.com]

... Relocated?

[attorneyatlol]

I'm talking about viruses. Hasn't anyone mentioned them?

[vonkarmas.livejournal.com]

Briefly and I had read interestingly relevant journal entry, so you do not need to strain yourself in attempting to explain it to me. As if I would want you to.

Are you saying you were affected by these 'viruses'? Just you?

[attorneyatlol]

If it actually was a virus, then that's what it looks like. It's almost impossible to know at this point, because they've been a little more... unpredictable than they used to be. They usually only last a few days, and the people affected typically remember what happened during them, but there have been a few instances of viruses lasting longer with only a handful of people affected lately.

Then there are cases where people just disappear without a trace, only to come back months later with no memory of anything at all, including their time at the community...

[vonkarmas.livejournal.com]

... Are you implying that I was affected by a virus? I honestly have never been in this foolish place before!

[attorneyatlol]

No, no! I didn't mean you. Not specifically, anyway. It's happened to a lot of people, but I'm not so sure it's a virus... Nobody really knows why it happens.

It's hard to explain.

[vonkarmas.livejournal.com]

...

That's because you're horrible at it.

[attorneyatlol]

...Then maybe you should ask somebody else.

[vonkarmas.livejournal.com]

The only questions I asked were concerned with deciphering your foolish gibberish, Phoenix Wright.

[attorneyatlol]

I was only trying to be helpful.

[vonkarmas.livejournal.com]

... Save that for your clients, I am sure they love to be disappointed with your efforts.

[attorneyatlol]

...Fine.
