Ancient 02:55
i. Ancient I came across an odd piece of parchment tucked away in the wall of my previous residence. The building was considered unstable and was therefore demolished. This paper was amongst the rubble, and by the look of it, it is written in some sort of ancient dialect. I'll have to inform Professor Stephane about this discovery. You never know what he will interpret as an "interesting find". ???. ??? I realize this, but you may not. The whole reason I exist is for your amusement or despair. Whichever comes first.

Blood Bones 03:17
ii. Blood Bones According to the paper, a strange skeleton was unearthed from the dust of a older building in a residential district. The remains are currently being examined. It's an odd find - the bones are mature, but are only 1 and a half feet in length. This was obviously a very short man in life. At least, that's what the report says. I call it rubbish.

iii. Shade Cast by the Tree I like these night walks I've been going on. They really revitalize my soul. Recently, I've taken to walking in the park, by the old tree that resides in the middle of it. There's just... something about it that thrills me. Perhaps I'll be an adventurer when I grow up. That'll be quite the day.
4.
iv. Pioneer (Blood Bones Reprise) I'm forced to work for the gentleman down the street, though. The only way I've been able to manage the high cost of rent in this district is by working there. I'm not at liberty to reveal what I've done there, but I will write this down: There are strange pipes lining the walls, with a strange sound emitting from each one. It's like each pipe has a mind of its own because I often see fluctuations in the pressure gauges, which has damaged our equipment in the past. This has resulted in discipline for all of us workers, though I'm not entirely sure we deserved it. I was working later at night, and the sound of shrill calls filled my ears. I promised my mother before she died that I would not let this job go too far, but I feel I've crossed the line somehow. Somewhere, somehow, I will die if I keep this up.

Voices 02:14
v. Voices The gasoline in the room stunk. I sat there for a while, hoping the fumes would wither away, but they didn't. I just hear the voices, telling me that I should return to the broken land of Unkardia. Bothersome things. I'll just resort to the stronger drugs if I need to. Just making sure that I don't smoke. The room'll go up like a powder keg.

vi. Just Latitude I am now officially awake. I found a trail of dried blood running down the length of my arm, which tells me I probably injured myself. The walls continue to bend above me, and I keep thinking I see her. The ghost of my past just keeps trying to taunt me. I wish it would go away. Just for tonight.

vii. Sleeper (For A While) I found an old phonograph record among my old things. It was one of the first and I'd be surprised if it still played. Aside from my latest discovery, the day has not been going well at all. Dee is acting up again, that little twerp. I found him passed out from the sheer stench of fuel and I was forced to open a window. Something about that room seemed cold and ominous, but I decided it was just me. Honestly, if that man wants to keep his job, he needs to improve has awful behavior. In the meantime, Experiment No. 1 went off without a hitch. Given this was our one and only opportunity to pull this off within our lifetimes, my superiors were pleased. I hope to continue this prestigious line of work in the future as well.
