You guys usually have weather like this? Nothin' but rain and sleet... it's enough to get anybody down. [He looks back at the video feed, grinning.]

That said, since the weather's keepin' me in, thought I'd bug ya all with a question or two.

First, I'm tryin' ta fix up a place to stay. This place doesn't happen to've dragged in a hardware store or somethin', does it? Anyplace I could pick up some tools? Be nice ta get my hands on a bit of paint an' plaster, too.

Second thing is I've been hearin' a lot about what happened last week, and somebody told me weird things happen every other week 'round this joint. Anybody willin' to tell me stories about what they've seen when? You never know, maybe we can figure out what's comin' if we look at what's happened before.

I have a small stash of tools - not much, but a few things. No paint or plaster, though, but they might not be impossible to find.

And - this one is a little harder to explain. Every other Saturday night, usually, the Animus change something. They put the city underwater once and turned us into mermaids. They've changed us, too - entire parts of our personalities. Made us forget home, and the people from it.

[He still distrusts you but, being as how he's crashing at your place, he'll lend a hand. For a bit.]

Whatchu need done, yo, I'll help.

It happens sometimes, this time of the year.

[The mention of last week makes him wince, just a little, but he shakes it off.]

There have been a lot of different things, really... I've been here for two and a half years. I've seen this entire place get turned into a jungle, become a tropical island, turn into the ocean floor. We've also been completely stripped of our abilities, or have had our personalities altered, or have been forced into Victorian era clothing. Sometimes the event is harsh, sometimes it's lighthearted. There's honestly no way to predict what sort of event might be coming next.

Events usually alternate between serious and not. It's like the Animus give us breaks. They have a peculiar sense of humor, though. Anything that seems innocent usually isn't in some way.

We didn't have any of that stuff when fixing up the place we're at. But we had some other things going for us. Could be someone who's willing to help a bit.

Not likely. Been here three months and one minute a bloke's a fish the next he doesn't remember where he's from.

Did you see any stores around when you arrived?

Sometimes. It depends on the day.

The hardware store, what was left it has been picked over but if you need tools I can lend you what I grabbed.

I can tell you what I've seen, but you might want to sit down first. There's a lot of it.

[When Kurapica sees the video feed, his instant reaction is to gasp, because, is that-- Leorio? It couldn't be...

But quickly enough, he realizes that although their appearances are eeriely similar, this man is different. Kurapica knows Leorio's face, and they don't match up.]
