I wish for things that I don't need, and what I chase won't set me free

Lezard brought up a point that I believe needs to be addressed loudly and clearly.

When the ants come- if it is indeed them, and I have no reason to doubt Lezard yet- NOBODY BE AN IDIOT AND TRY AND FIGHT THEM OFF. They sound extremely dangerous, and the last thing we need is someone deciding to try their fighting ability on them and getting killed. It's best for everybody if the evacuation proceeds in an orderly fashion and the Guards' attention is not diverted by going to save someone who decided to be a hero.

Of course, I'd like to think that nobody here is that colossally stupid.

Don't prove me wrong.

... hey, everyone.

I'm home.

... I'm home.

I'm going to be useless and not very good company until tomorrow, at least, but I'm home. And I'm not alone. Thank God, I'm not alone. I can leave this place. I have other living things with me.
