(i am not an actual character in the story, and i don't think you'll ever be given an opportunity to ask the observer, the way asks work is a post will come up with the heading link.jar and from there a character is decided and you get to ask that character stuff)

"We now continue this tuesday night with a story about pharmaceutical monopoly Sunset Organization, which, after facing many lawsuits and other legal troubles regarding safety, is now being properly looked into by a branch of the government. If you have used their goods, dial this."

My dear brother has been elected as the president, wonderful.

meanwhile, all i get to hear is "Your brother" this, and "Polk, your brother" that, it is nearing the moment i cannot handle being known solely as the presidents sibling, it's shameful.

Our collection stamped west, our search for fresh land has been expanded another 3 months.

we will be out of supplies soon.

Jackson claims there's a purple glow in the distance, we intend to send him and Jacob there tomorrow to investigate"

if the fucking author didn't exist, just admit it, it's fucking fake, and maybe you won't get this entire fucking operation of yours shut down"

"it is NOT fake, damn it, how about this, i'll sell you it for half fucking off, you'll read it, maybe you'll fucking take some use from it"

"What the fuck is this shit, you think you can just get away with selling this fake fucking shit?"

"Would you mind shutting the FUCK UP...if you would read the fucking tag"

"I fucking read it, clearly it's a damn lie, a journal wouldn't exist-

"It's not the pendant shard, i've seen them way longer than i had it, the arm is quite recent, and as far as i can remember, they've been here longer than my first contact with any anomalies."

"It's you, it doesn't look like you, but it feels like you, it's color indescribable, as dark as a lightless box, but as bright as the surface of the stars, and its form ever unknown, sharp yet smooth, rough yet glaring. it's only constant is the two eyes never changing place, always staring."

"well according to everyone they can't see the fucking things that follow and surround you travelers, so, maybe not"

"mh, just seems like most do, it's so damn visible though, their souls aren't synced with this world, they exist outside of it, they give off the most obvious tells, and they hide it. each of them, emitting that terrible buzzing noise so many seem to ignore, it's as if nobody hears what i do."

"yeah, what makes you think an outsider of this world would fit in unnoticed."

"Redistributed...borrowed goods, took apart and put back together spared ones, got more and more handy at it, eventually i found a shipping crate with a hell of a strong security system..found both pendants, lots of other things, documents, and started putting stuff together, and it just worked"

"Then, tell me what you're looking to buy, i'll tell you options if i have any."

(oki)

"essentially"

"i'd prefer if you didn't, you don't seem too keen on buying"

"probably just going to keep to myself on this one, not like you need to know."

"'acquired' it and modified it, made it more nimble and a bit stronger, along with some..special additions"

"don't really make stuff until they're requested, those two crates back there store everything"

"just an old project gone wrong, sold it so it wouldn't be my problem"

"Shouldn't, seller to buyer privacy"

"Oh this old thing, it's half of a whole, pretty damn strong while together, other than that i just think it looks nice"

"Weapons, tools, hell, sometimes clothes, then again if anyone wants something specific, and are willing to pay, then i'll make it for the right price"

"anything specific you want though? i don't exactly give people stuff they aren't looking for."
