//------------------------------// // Day 33-34, Normal Days Again... // Story: Quiet Days // by AlphaDidAlotOfThings //------------------------------// June 24th, 2015 Dear Journal, Me and John went into town for more food and supplies today, it was one of the most important things on my "personal to do list" so I figured we should get that done first. There's a target not too far from here, so we just went there. We just got a bunch of (mostly) vegetarian and vegan stuff, we're not entirely herbivores so we can eat some meat, we just need to figure out what… We also got some flour so Alyssa or I could maybe bake something. I kinda wanna try baking, maybe Alyssa could teach me… And I got some candy and soda for myself everyone. Look, it's not my fault I liked sweet stuff so much okay? Turning into a pony didn't amplify that. I've always been like this. It wasn't too hard to load everything into the truck, especially when John can just use his horn to do most of the heavy lifting. After that we stopped at a weird clothing store on the way back and got some wool, a knitting kit of some kind and some more stuff for the saddle bags. Also yeah, I'm gonna tackle knitting! Alyssa actually didn't call me a grandma for it, she just giggled a bit when I told her. "Nothing~" is what she said when I asked her what was so funny. I swear, that girl sometimes… She really is a damned gremlin. After we got home me and John finished up the well, we're done laying down the cobblestone now. All we had to do after that was put up a little roof thingy (is there a specific word for it?) tie a bucket to it with a rope and boom. A Well! It looks pretty good if I do say so myself. It's not that deep but there's already a tiny bit of water in it. Now we have another way to get water aside from stores or just putting buckets out when it rains… Alyssa and Minuette (plus Buddy) finished about half of the fence, now they're starting on the gate. I call it a "gate" but it's more like a little entrance than anything. That's why I said it doesn't really serve any purpose. I just thought it would look nice. And honestly, it's only about half finished and it already looks good. It'll probably look even better when it's actually finished! I worked on my project again and tried flying for the 999th time. Projects coming along great and I'm almost done with it while flying is pretty much the same as ever. I feel like I'm getting better though, just very slowly. I probably shouldn't try to rush it, these kinda things take time, right? Speaking of, it looks like I'm not the only one practicing in secret. I caught John working on his magic today. It seems like he's been working really hard on it. I asked how long he had been doing this and he told me "A couple of days now." Heck, he's even been getting Minuette to try and help him with it. I wonder what else I don't know about him… Madeline still hasn't woken up, there's honestly not much else we can do for her. I guess we'll just have to hope she wakes up in the next couple of days… Not much else happened today. So as always this is Emile, bye. I wonder what Alex did today… I should talk to him again… - Emile June 25th, 2015 Dear Journal, Today was a pretty eh day. There's honestly not much going on right now and not much for us to do aside from getting our to do list done. I'm still trying to write anyway since I wanna document everything that happens, even the smallest things. Me and John made an outhouse today. We did a little bit of digging and he put up the rest of it like lightning fast work. The more things we build the better he gets at it. I think it seems just "okay" compared to the rest of his work since he rushed it a bit, but it's serviceable for now. Besides, we can always fix it up later if we need to. With that done we helped Alyssa and Minuette (plus Buddy, we can't forget about him) with the rest of the fence. And with our combined efforts we were able to get half of it done! Now we have a fence with a little entrance that curves upwards around our farm! It looks pretty cute. like I said though, it's still only halfway done. We just need to finish this one small part of it, then we're done! I wonder what we should do after that… Try to make another radio maybe? I don't know, we'll figure it out later… Maybe I should ask Alex what he thinks… Anyway about Alex, that plane girl he found apparently woke up today. Her name is "Moriah Strickland." She doesn't seem like a bad person from what I've heard so far. She's just a bit… What's the word for it…? Stern. Yeah, that. The weird transmissions from that emergency channel just keep going, it changed again recently. I still have no idea what they mean or how to decode them but hey! That happened I guess… They're strange, I don't get it… Strange… I haven't had any strange dreams in a while. Is that good or bad…? It could be bad. I dunno, the only thing I know for sure is that I've had enough weird visions for now. I tried knitting today, it's not that hard(?) But I'm still not good at it. Turns out knitting and sewing are pretty different. I just made this little scarf so far. It's not bad, just okay, it's kinda itchy too. After that I worked on my project and practiced flying again. Those are just daily things at this point. I'll probably finish the "project" tomorrow or the day after that. Flying was the same as always. Alyssa came to watch me like she usually does. The last notable thing I did today was make… Drum roll please… A nailed bat! Yeah, you heard me right. A fucking nailed bat. Why did I make something like that you ask? For protection of course. Now if any animal tries to attack me I'll just smack em in the head and boom! They're dead. God my mom would kill me if she found out I made something like this. I wonder if I can use Madeline's gun…? I could probably try with my wings since they're pretty good for that kinda stuff. What am I even talking about anymore… Is it even legal for me to use a gun…? Probably not. We've already done so many "illegal" things at this point. Laws don't exist anymore so who's cares! We should really re-establish those… Thankfully we all have common sense. Welp this is Emile, you know the drill. Peace. - Emile
