A curious, hypothetical question to put forwards to people here after reading something.

If someone you know commits crimes up to the point of murder, how far should the punishment go before they can consider it enough? Would it ever be enough?

Alternatively while I have this thing open; all the coffee tastes the same. Is there truly a difference between the different kinds the stores are offering?

[ Look, it's hard work being stuck in a bathtub as a mermaid sometimes, okay?]

Good afternoon Lunatia!

I'm Larry; Larry Laffer. I'm kind of new around here. It's nice to meet you all!

Now that Halloween/Geistnacht festivities are wrapping up, we're headed into November, or what we just call "the eleventh month" around here, I guess. Anyway, where I come from, there's a holiday called Thanksgiving that falls on the fourth Thursday of the month. It is what it says on the tin: a harvest holiday to give thanks for the previous year's crop. You celebrate it by hanging out with your family and loved ones, eat a gratuitous amount of seasonally appropriate food and drink, and watch sports on television together.

I'd like to host something like that here, if anyone would be interested. I know some of us might be missing our families from back home, but that doesn't mean we can't celebrate the friends and lovers that we've made here! Bring all the food and/or booze your heart desires, but as the host it's my responsibility to make the bird. (Whatever is the closest I can find to a turkey around here.)

On an absolutely related note, I could use someone on consult that knows how to cook.

This is meant to be an "open to all ages" kind of thing, but I was thinking that we could also have a post-dessert dessert of an orgy for those who qualify. That's not part of the tradition, but that doesn't mean we can't make it ours. I just figured that maybe everyone would like to leave the party topped off with turkey and Chroma for their holiday shopping. No pressure or anything, though!

RSVP here or on my answering machine if you're interested.

[ He's normally not a video guy. So surprise surprise! There's a spiky-haired blond sporting soft wolf ears on your feed. A pair of sunglasses are hanging around his collar. ]

Hey everyone. Not that it's my first time using this thing, [ shrug. ] but... I guess I might as well cut to the chase.

My name is Cloud Strife. Haven't ironed out the kinks just yet, but I'm thinking of opening up shop again. Lunatia's pretty big, and I used to run a delivery business back home. So...

[ He's gauging interest. ]

If you got a business or know anyone who does, I can handle your supplies' shipments. Or personal mail and parcels. You name it, we deliver it. [ Speaking of handling large packages, ] That reminds me...

[ Cloud's already standing outside by what appears to be the side of a road. So when he turns the camera... In frame is a monster-sized motorcycle that somehow manages to look sleek at the same time.

Yes. That's his ride. ]

Anybody know of any garages for rent?

[There is a young man on your feed today. He sits properly with his hands curled together a top the table, neatly dressed, and beaming politely.]

Good day to everyone. My name is Bishop. I've met a very small number of you over the past few days and the different personalities brought here are certainly...striking. [What he means by that, he'll leave it to the listener.]

That being said I have a couple of requests. First, the apartment I was given was not as well stocked as I'd like so I'd like to go grocery shopping and I'd appreciate it if someone came along to help me. Someone who knows where to go for the best deals and but excellent quality would be nice, but even someone just to carry the bags would be great. I could be it myself but, having company makes things more interesting. Of course, I don't intend to have someone accompany me for free. I'd be happy to cook something for you from the ingredients purchased. [A beat.] Should we find the ingredients I mean.

[He's not quite sure what's here and not here after all.]

Second would be, well, a request for company again, more for leisure this time around. I'd like for someone to point me in the direction of any bars or pubs where I could wet my whistle. The less rowdy the better. My treat.

I'm not in a particular rush for the second one, but the first one is definitely something I need to do. Thanks for listening.
