[Accidental Voice -> Deliberate Voice]

[And this early evening, the journal will pick up the sound of one small British girl muttering to herself.]

Well, this is very rude. It didn't snow last autumn, you know. I think I ought to complain.

[Huff. Followed by a small ow, barely heard. And silence. Then finally:]

Oh! [And the journal is picked up finally. Because you, the townsfolk, should know the answer to this question. Clearly.] Did we get visited by aliens in the night? I think I've been experimented on. [Okay, that is totally the best thing ever.] I hope they looked like Elvis clones.

Has anyone seen my cat?

I haven't decided. I thought I might lease it out to a few seagulls. They can help me decorate.

[Sadly, not everything Katie says is a complete lie. ...although yes, this is.]

Oh. Great. Just what I need. Waking up in the morning to the chipper calls of seagulls above my head.

[ after all, buffy is over there rather...often. oftenish. often enough that the pair of them had to have crossed paths when katie was last in luceti.

but then she breaks out into a slight smile. ] The stars are beautiful from those skylights though, huh?

It oculd be worse. You could wake up to seagull stew. [But she grins back.] Have you ever tried to touch them? The stars, I mean.

[As opposed to the seagulls.]

Tried? Maybe. A little. Sometimes. [ now that jack prompts her to take the time to sit back and look at them. ]

Used to date a guy who flied amongst'em.

Really? [And suddenly, all thoughts of romantic marriages are out the window. Sorry, Jack, she's fickle.] Like a spaceship captain? What was he like?

Exactly like a spaceship captain. [ apparently, she has a type? or a couple of types, at least. ] He used to live here. In this very house. And he was brave and gorgeous and could almost throw a football better than me.
