{Two} &diams Good enough is good enough for me / As it should always be

[burnt_orangesky]

Something rather odd happened to me this morning. Did anyone else wake up dressed in strange clothing? I suppose this outfit is acceptable, though I am not fond of the color. At least the skirt is a reasonable length, and not ridiculously short.

I am pleased to be able to say that I have a job now--I am a Scavenger. If you should need to find me, I will most likely be on the fifth floor.

The Tree likes to do this on occasion- it will change around our wardrobe or play with us in other ways. It's typically temporary and harmless, though.

[burnt_orangesky]

That is good to know, thank you.

I don't think I've [pentaps] written to you before. My name is Fred, and you are?

[subject-e0057.livejournal.com]

Raise. It's good to meet you, Fred.

How long have you been here?

[burnt_orangesky]

Raise. I'll remember that.

I arrived nearly a week ago. It's actually a bit surprising that I managed to adjust to this place so quickly; at least, it is to me.

This is the second time this month the clothing change has happened.

The tree seems to enjoy putting me in skirts...

[burnt_orangesky]

So this happens often, that's just fantastic.

The skirt isn't really a problem for me; but I take it you have been forced into a skirt as well?

[pompous_today.livejournal.com]

Not just clothing changes; lots of other weird things have a tendency to happen.

And yes, I have. For the third time this month. Earlier, there were another few days when peoples' clothing changed, and I had a skirt then. Then, a short while ago, I recovered one of my memories and my punishment was to wear a kilt for a week.

[burnt_orangesky]

...we get punished for remembering things?

[pompous_today.livejournal.com]

Usually when you find a Memory Crystal there is some price attached to it, yes.

Scavenging is the COOLEST JOB EVER.

[burnt_orangesky]

Ah, so you are also a scavenger, Bridge? Lovely! I hope we can work together in the future, then.

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

I hope so, too! Uhm, usually I tend to dig into piles of junk, so if you see a pair of blue-sneakered feet sticking out of somewhere, chances are it's me.

[burnt_orangesky]

I'll have to keep an eye out for that. If nothing else, I can at least lend you a hand getting out of the piles of junk.

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

I'd appreciate it! Usually my dog ends up doing it but he has a tendency to laugh at me afterwards...

[burnt_orangesky]

Your dog laughs at you. I see.

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

Yeah... and sometimes he moos or baa's instead.

I do not believe I have met you or the writer of this entry, but I too am a Scavenger. Well met! May I inquire as to your names?

[burnt_orangesky]

Well met indeed! I am Fred, and I believe that you are correct, as I do not recognize your writing.

[white-disciple.livejournal.com]

Greetings, Mr. Fred. My name is Serenity and I am currently an Apprentice Scavenger.

[burnt_orangesky]

Hello Serenity--but it would be closer to call me Ms. Fred, if you must be so formal in your address of me.

We can be Apprentices together, it looks like.

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

I'm Bridge!

[white-disciple.livejournal.com]

Greetings, Bridge - have you been a Scavenger long?

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

Yup! Pretty much ever since I was born, which was almost a year ago~

[yourealrightnow.livejournal.com]

Oh phew. So I'm not the only one, Fred. I woke up in some sweats with my name on it. It's not as, I don't know, stylish as the outfit I bought, but it is a little more comfortable.

Congratulations on the job. A Scavenger, huh? I was thinking about doing that part-time if I get a full-time job at the Medical Island. It'll help, I don't know, the restlessness I think. I've heard a thing or two about what can be found there.

[burnt_orangesky]

It is a very strange thing, to wake up in clothing that is not your own. But no, it appears to have affected multiple people.

Thank you! And good luck with getting either or both of your jobs. It is good to have something to do with the time we have on our hands here, apart from frittering it away doing nothing.

Besides, now I can move out of this box of a living space into a slightly less box-sized one, which is probably the best thing that's happened to me since I arrived.

[godsmajesty.livejournal.com]

Scavenger? We might be meeting each other then.

[burnt_orangesky]

I'll look for you, then, Stigmata.

[godsmajesty.livejournal.com]

All right.
