∞ 104: Five years gone [voice/action]
[Forwarded to afternoon of Sunday, November 4]
[voice]
As we have entered the sixth cycle year for Luceti, there are new calendars available for the upcoming year. Copies may be picked up at the library or the Welcome Center. Thank you.
[Right before the journal stops recording, there's the sound of loud banging against a far off window, followed by said window shattering.]
[action]
[Albert stares at his broken window. Or, more precisely, he stares beyond the broken window at the huge eyes peering at him from outside. Then there's the flutter of equally-huge wings and a resounding thump on the roof.
He hurries out of his room and into the spare room, quickly setting up the ladder and climbing up onto the roof.
And out there, standing there as patiently as can be, is a somewhat familiar giant owl, hunched over as to not look as imposing as it would at its full 12 feet of height. It is dressed with a big turquoise ribbon around its neck, which holds an envelope in place.]
...No.
[Three minutes later, after getting the owl to allow him to remove the envelope, Albert sits on his roof reading the enclosed letter.
A shame that you are still trapped in this world, my boy; we are still working away on solving this issue! Here is a gift in commemoration to when you first started contributing to the Organization. I had a feeling you would like it!
- With sympathy, Sir Catherine]
Bil.
[Above him, the giant owl clacks its beak almost understandingly at his exasperation.]

That's a BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG owl!!!! Where does he LIVE?
voice;
That ... will have to be decided. There is nowhere suitable for him to live near the village, so I will have to look around. [But the most likely place would be the mountains, based on the isolation and the high vantage point if the owl had to hunt in the valley.] He needs a place where food is readily available and does not interfere with what the farmers are producing.

voice;
I suppose I will have to find a way to visit him. And owls usually nest in tree hollows or take over nests, so... [He trails off, realization striking him. He was going to have to make a nest for the owl, wasn't he?] ...He will need a nest to take over.

[ you know for the seven year old girl, not the grown man ]
voice;
Very well. I suppose you will get a chance to meet the owl at that time, too.
