Variance

So many firsts already this month, and we're not even a week into the new year. Change in this City is about the only thing that's not new- there's always patterns to the growth, to the setbacks, but they're never quite the same.

It's something I personally can appreciate- I enjoy progress, perhaps even live for it. I'm striving to become a better man, looking for things to tweak, to fix, as many of you well know. So I want to thank everyone who's been giving me firsts this year. New experiences are always welcome.

In particular, I must thank you again, Lucy. You're far too kind to me. I imagine you don't know what the signifigance of wearing a new watch is to me, but maybe someday I can explain it to you. It really is a beautiful piece.

For all these changes, the Network seems rather quiet the last few days. Recuperating, maybe?

[Private to Lilith]

I may need some guidance. My confidant is no longer helpful as such.

[Private to Mohinder]

How are you doing, Mohinder?

Some don't handle change well.

[lyra-of-dust.livejournal.com]

Everything changes here, yeah. People come and go... And hopefully, they change to.

[kinda-gangsta.livejournal.com]

My, the bond between a man and his time piece.

[makes-you-tick.livejournal.com]

True.

Most of those people don't live here, I've noticed.

[notexactlyhuman.livejournal.com]

Yep.

[makes-you-tick.livejournal.com]

People always change. Unfortunately, leaving this City seems to be like a reset button for most.

[dreamsofnoah]

Quiet too quiet.

[lyra-of-dust.livejournal.com]

Yeah...I still want to learn everything I can here, though!

It's a disaster. You should be happy.

[makes-you-tick.livejournal.com]

Oh, you have no idea.

[kinda-gangsta.livejournal.com]

It's a healthy accessory. I'm very fond of my own.

[makes-you-tick.livejournal.com]

You think so?

[dreamsofnoah]

It should never get too~ quiet.

[inbetrayal.livejournal.com]

You're very welcome, Gabriel. It seemed appropriate enough.

And I'll hold you to that offer of explanation.

private;

[makes-you-tick.livejournal.com]

I'm not. Define 'disaster'? Your body's still changing?

[orderonto]

Why should I tell you? Can you do anything about it?

[makes-you-tick.livejournal.com]

Oh? What exactly do you have, if I might ask?

[kinda-gangsta.livejournal.com]

An admirer of ticking things should hurry to tell me about his piece instead, shouldn't he?

[dreamsofnoah]

No stealing Gabriel's watch.

[kinda-gangsta.livejournal.com]

What a cautious piglet.

[dreamsofnoah]

What a pre~dic~ta~ble old man.

[makes-you-tick.livejournal.com]

More than you know.

Over dinner sometime, maybe?

[kinda-gangsta.livejournal.com]

You children shouldn't keep friends.

[dreamsofnoah]

Oh~, but I have some of the best friends here. Better than only having creditors, General.

[makes-you-tick.livejournal.com]

Oh dear, don't tell me you're a thief.

But since you asked, it's Cabestan, a chain-driven watch. It's the only I've ever seen of its kind.
