So, I'm wondering.. if the community brings people together- in good and bad ways, will they always be taken away? It seems like everyone that has been brought together by this community is taken away. It makes me wonder why.

Maybe you can't change worlds completely, and maybe time knows where everyone is supposed to be... and when.
A lot of things make me think about this. If we're meant to go through things in our own world, I wonder if we can really change them with the help of others. Permanently, I mean.

I'm tired of losing people I meet on here, or seeing here. And in my world, too. I keep hoping there's a way to save everyone with enough time and patience, and a helping hand.

I'm not sure. I guess-- well, what are your thoughts? Or, anything?

I joined the army today.

The fifth time is the charm? Bucky took me to the Expo and I went to give it another shot. Dr. Erksine came to talk to me and he thinks the little guy should get a try. I got lucky.

The day turned out really swell considering I hit my head on a trashcan earlier. [ SMILE. ...pauses ]

Oh. Does anyone own a flying car?

Been a while since I made myself available to everyone in one go.

Last year, I threw a party for a pretty cool British assassin. He ain't really up to no real assassin standards, so I can't see throwin' him another one, but there's a certain German guy on here who's overdue for a good time, and in the spirit of the babe wantin' to elect some people to own up to a few community duties, I decided I'd keep playin' Assassin Entertainment Coordinator. It's a pretty fun gig, and someone's gotta do it. I'm gonna let you guys in on the fun this time, too, 'natch.

So tell me what's worth payin' to have, payin' to do. It don't matter if it's somethin' ordinary you can find in any kinda world or not.

If you want me to hold on to some of your world's cash for you, when I'm done, I'll have a rough idea of an exchange rate 'n I'll see about sellin' you amounts of someone else's world's cash when you need it. A little cross-world buying power's a good thing. You'll probably see somethin' you wanna do lookin' at everyone talkin' about what's fun on other worlds. 'n that'll take cash.

If you're wonderin' what happens when you wanna cash out if I sold yer world's cash off to someone else, I'll be backin' it up with booze, beef, and other basic goods you oughtta be able to sell off anywhere or get some kinda use out of.



For a bank opening special, everyone who donates enough of their world's cash for two beers'll be put in a drawing for whatever kinda prize I think's neat from another world. One beer for our guest of honor everywheres we go, one to go to a general fund for whatever the hell else we decide to do. Anyone who donates enough to be in for more than 30% of the raffle automatically gets a prize!

And we're gonna need some world hoppers in on this, or someone to loan out an item or somethin'! Naturally, you'll get paid for the trouble. Business expenses, y'know?
