Hi again! I kinda wandered out of the mall and have just been walking around this city for awhile. Well, I think it's all the same city, anyway?

The trees are kind of everywhere, and anywhere there's trees there's also buildings and people around, so it's all just kind of going on and on and on and I don't know if this is a city or a forest or what, and-- oh hey, it's raining.

Heck yeah! You know what? Rain's one of my favorite things! It feels like my outer membranes are drinking right out of the sky. You hyoomens are like 70% water or something, right? So I'll bet you already know what I'm talking about.

Anyway before you give me the Dork of the Year award for getting excited about rain when I'm on a planet that's made of a gazillion rainforests, I guess I should tell you why rain's kind of special to me.

See, I used to live in a place that was like, the total complete opposite of Alakinec. There was no like forests or anything, and the only buildings were crumbly old ruins. There wasn't even any nature to coexist with! Ozecia like me were the most colorful things around, everything else was all browns and greys and murky green.

But when I got to leave my home planet, everything got so different! There's colors everywhere, and there's all kinds of people to talk to and smooch, and there's "food" that's actually made just for you to eat, and it won't take a week to digest!

And then I got to see what rain was like on other planets. It was a really big deal for me! I mean, sure it also rained sometimes on my planet too, but the stuff that comes out of the sky there is all black and murky and it burns a little to touch it. Can't drink the water without feeling like there's poison oozing from your cell walls afterward, you know?

But the water falling from the sky in a place like here is all clear and shiny, you can feel it just merge with your body like it was always part of you...

I mean, don't get me wrong. There's still things I miss about the place I came from, even if leaving was the best thing I ever did. I'll probably stop by there at some point to show you what it's like there...
