Day 1:
Deareth Diary. I didst thinketh this wouldst be a most beneficial time to scribe mine experiences in mine new surroundings. My words may prove to serve as an historical account at some time in the future, perhaps a guide to the inner workings of a most active hero group.
Tis indeed an honor to be amongst such dear friends again. I art sitting twixt the walls of mine room, a less spacious room that the one I didst dwell in ere now, but by no means small. I am sureth i shalt getteth used to ducking whilst walking in mine door eventually. Note to self, get top of doorway replaced.
Mine possesions herein art minimal, only didst I bringeth that which I wouldst e'er need on a regular basis. Mine Yeti-skin rug doth indeed looketh quite good in front of mine fireplace, and the bearskins and ornate blankets from mine early travels in Turkey andst Egypt fitteth upon mine bed quite nicely. I canst only assume that is what fair Lisa was examining so closely. Her purring howe'er doth still vex me.
Mjalcolm, mine trusty weapon and oldest friend doth have pride of place on a display on mine mantlepiece. Tis a pity friend Enty didst wish to maketh said display encased in glass. I must maketh mine apologies when he dost notice that the only way to retrieve mine weapon frm it was to shatter its shell, undoing the cosmetic appeal it didst once haveth. Note to self, sweep glass off floor.
I am most impressed with the new activity room also. Lisa didst jest during mine initial tour that the activity room was in fact where she dost sleep, in the bedroom adjacent to mine...milady must have been disoriented, for the activity room was in fact in the centre of the new base. And the television is indeed impressive. Yon miraculous portal dost boast views into many worlds of warriors and magic. I must hie me off one day to find this "Buffy" and of course, valiant Xena. Methinks they wouldst maketh fine allies in battle.
Must also looketh into getting a "credit card" hereth. Seems mine Ausgardian credit is no good when wishing to purchase items that cook without oil and help define pectorals.
The leather couch too is quite spacious, if not a little warm under mine buttocks after 17 or 18 hours. Methinks Cheryl wert right to calleth me a lazy bum for al least not sliding over to the adjacent cushion. Howe'er, after mine accidentally using friend Yo's bunny as a pillow fo 20 minutes, I was afraideth to move again.
Visionary has also proved himself quite the wonderous leader here. He doth even jest that he art not the leader, and if I wanteth the job i haveth it. A true warrior's attitude, to lift up the spirits of the "new" arrivals. Even whenst I did slappeth his back andst roar outward with rapturous laughter, did he continue his mirthful musings by feigning to be upset with mine remark. Such a kidder. He doth remind me of Hoki in her youth before she didst becometh a psycho.
Now, diary, all that remains to be done is to answer the clarion call for righteous battle. I have yet to be notified of any need for mine talents for smiting and general weather usage, save that of Cheryl's request for a touch of rain so she coulst delay washing her car until next week, when it wouldst be Visz's turn.
I hear tell that there are riots brewing and evil just waiting to be slain. I also wonder if I shalt be able to answer yon red glowing phone one day too. It doth ring most annoyingly at all hours of the night, usually 30 minutes before newsflashes or distant explosions. A coincidence, I'm sure, as Lisa hast told me that said phone is in fact not our phone, but the previous tenant's and to answer their calls wouldst be quite rude. I am sure tis all a coincidence.
Must go diary, I haveth need to investingate the sound I doth heareth of a drill grinding through the joining wall of the adjacent room.
