Hey, uh.

Maria?

[VOICE]

2009-02-07T01:17:08Z

[heavy breathing]

...N-nngh.

Ah. Hey...

Anyone out there--?

D-damn it. Ow.

harrynotmary @ 2008-11-17T18:00:00

2008-11-17T23:01:17Z

...Is it just suddenly the thing to do? Leaving me notes and all.

Danny, I don't know why you think this is a good idea. God damn it.

Walter, Odd? Thank you. Both of you.

So, Kaylee. You ready to learn how to cook some noodles?

harrynotmary @ 2008-11-15T15:24:00

2008-11-15T20:27:40Z

Well. While you're all celebrating, Birdman is still on the loose. My son is still unconscious. And James is missing.

So glad everyone is having a good fucking day.

James, you idiot.

[VOICE]

2008-11-13T15:52:44Z

I-I...

Someone. Sora...?

James. James was bitten by a crab. I don't know how long ago, but I. I know he's been hiding it. That selfish bastard. What... what the hell are you trying to prove, at a time like this--?!

I need help. Please. Someone.

I can't take much more of this.

harrynotmary @ 2008-11-04T17:44:00

2008-11-04T22:48:16Z

Dr. Tam?

Thank you for your help. I really mean it. Between you and Rebecca, I don't know if Rion would have made it without you two. Thank you. Even if he's still unconscious, it's. It's better than the alternative.

And, um. Sorry I pulled a gun on you. I'm a little jumpy right now.

Everyone else, thanks for your help at the Cathedral. When I'm not limping around, I'll see if I can pay you all back by making dinner or something.

I'd also like it if anyone kept an eye out for Birdman.

If you see him, leave him alive.

~~SO I CAN KILL HIM MYSELF~~

harrynotmary @ 2008-10-24T15:36:00

2008-10-24T19:37:24Z

Rebecca.

I need you to meet me halfway.

No questions. Just do it. I'm in some hospital right now.

Everyone at St. Patrick's Cathedral? Stay there. Do not leave. Stay there.

harrynotmary @ 2008-10-16T00:14:00

2008-10-16T04:17:27Z

...Do you really think it'd be that easy.
No one's coming for us.

When did I get so pessimistic?

harrynotmary @ 2008-09-29T18:51:00

2008-09-29T22:53:09Z

James. Odd. Does somebody want to tell me what happened last night?

Hmm?

Unlike some people, I'm not a heavy sleeper. Kind of hard to be when I hear a crash outside.

Who wants to start?

~~You people are impossible.~~

Maya, if it's okay, I'd like to stop by today with a few books for Mia. I hope she'll enjoy them. And if you'd like, I can bring something for you, too. Graphic novels okay?

harrynotmary @ 2008-09-27T03:57:00

2008-09-27T07:59:38Z

Going for a walk.

Be back later.

harrynotmary @ 2008-09-17T18:38:00

2008-09-17T22:39:12Z

Danny, thanks for your help. Really.

And, ah. James. You too.

I can't remember what I said, but I hope it wasn't anything unsettling. I remember having some pretty bad nightmares, though.

harrynotmary @ 2008-09-14T13:14:00

2008-09-14T17:16:52Z

~~Not feeling too~~ Tired.

Someone do me a favor and go find some juice?

Maybe some canned soup, too. Chicken soup is better.

Ms. Chambers, right? Thanks for your advice earlier. I really appreciate it. If I need any further assistance, I'll let you know right away.

harrynotmary @ 2008-09-08T19:48:00

2008-09-08T23:54:07Z

Back.

Brought back a kid with me. His name is Rion. Be good to him and help him around.

He's gonna stay in my room until I can set something up for him.

Let's not discuss Rion too openly for the moment, though, if you please.
-=-=-

Do we have a doctor in the city?

Boy, I sure hope so.

harrynotmary @ 2008-09-07T10:06:00

2008-09-07T14:07:57Z

Going out for a bit. Be back soon.

Maria, make yourself at home. Let me know if you need anything.

By the way, James, I had no idea you had a girlfriend; why don't you mention these sort of things?

harrynotmary @ 2008-08-07T23:30:00

2008-08-08T03:35:28Z

Hey, guys? I volunteered for this.

So when I'm gone, you guys better take care of the place pretty dang well. That means no slacking. This only applies to someone whose name starts with a "J" and rhymes with "aims".

~~More food means~~ It'll be good to do something other than scavenge for books and all -- and that's usually for myself, anyway.

harrynotmary @ 2008-08-06T00:00:00

2008-08-06T04:05:41Z

Um.

I probably should have noticed this sooner but where the heck did all the animals go from this place, anyway? Not that Manhattan's ever been a place full of wildlife, but you'd think there'd be birds or dogs or cats running around ~~or flying in the case of birds~~ or something.

Somehow this strikes me weirder than a giant monster stomping around here.

harrynotmary @ 2008-07-27T21:34:00

2008-07-28T01:37:53Z

I know it'll take a lot to clean up, but it'll work out.

Walter, I'll read to you tonight, okay? Just get as much rest as you can.

Odd, thank you for all of your help.

James?

...Your shirt is like a tent. Heh.

harrynotmary @ 2008-07-12T14:28:00

2008-07-12T18:30:49Z

I think this whole thing is finally taking a toll on me; feeling a bit more tired than usual.

Oh! And, Odd; thank you for cooking. It's nice to have someone else around here who actually does work. I kind of wish James said something before he brought you inside -- but I blame him more than I do you, so it's fine. The more company, the better, anyway.

Going to go hunting for books. I'll see you guys later. Don't make a big mess while I'm gone, okay?

harrynotmary @ 2008-05-21T01:39:00

2008-05-21T05:40:51Z

Oh yeah.

Mr. James Patrick Sunderland, I think you've misplaced something.

You look so surprised in the picture. ~~Wow, you're ... pudgy.~~

harrynotmary @ 2008-05-20T23:31:00

2008-05-21T03:35:27Z

I'll be back in awhile. I'm heading for the library.

I might be gone all day, so here's the drill:

Walter, eat less candy and more of the canned food. You can't survive on sugar alone. Just follow the directions. If you have any questions, you can ask, okay? James doesn't strike me as the cooking type.

James, if you come home drunk, I'm not going to be sympathetic. And for the love of God, don't crawl into my bed in the middle of the night, that was sort of. Odd. Walter I can kind of understand, but you -- that's just. Don't do it, okay?

I'll be back later.

While I'm at the library, I don't suppose there's anyone in the city who's in need of a good book? I can make recommendations, but I'm sure some of you have some favorites. If I find it, I'll be happy to make some deliveries. If there's something I know, it's books.

harrynotmary @ 2008-05-14T22:39:00

2008-05-15T02:41:57Z

James, could you quit leaving out the butter? I had to throw it away when I found it this morning. We're a little short on food, in case you hadn't noticed.

And... where in the heck did all the ice cream go? That's weird.

I take it no one's seen my daughter around here. I'm really, really hoping that's a good sign and that she's not here at all. Those of you who helped keep an eye out, thank you.

harrynotmary @ 2008-05-07T21:15:00

2008-05-08T01:19:32Z

Ugh. All this cleaning.

Hey, Walter. James. Don't come upstairs just yet. I'm not done cleaning the place up yet. If you hear vacuuming, that's me.

Dishes are done and downstairs. I stored the food in the back in the kitchen. Eat sparingly. Don't be pigs. There's ice cream if you want. Meals are instant, so you shouldn't burn anything.

Please clean up after yourselves, though. I just finished downstairs.

I left my emergency hammer downstairs, too; James or Walter, you guys can use that. I'm better with firearms anyhow.

Aaaand... I'm gonna sneeze dust for days now. Great.

harrynotmary @ 2008-05-04T21:43:00

2008-05-05T01:45:46Z

Can't say a church would be my favorite place to stay. But with the way things are looking, not much of a choice.

James, come back in one piece, all right? As for me, I'm going to keep exploring and hope Cheryl isn't here.

Again, if anyone sees a little girl -- short black hair, about three years old -- let me know immediately. But then, I honestly hope no one catches sight of her here.

chapter 01

2008-04-29T05:08:20Z

This isn't good. But this isn't Maine at all. What in the hell am I doing in the Big Apple?

Well. Explanations can be for later.

Anyone who can get this message -- please. Let me know if you see a little girl. Short black hair, about three years old.
