Ted Tonks

( Ted Tonks )

I must admit, I am afraid, to being entirely confused.

[Edgar Bones]
I feel vaguely like we are trapped in this small environment much like some muggle scientific experiment. Like they are trying to see how many people can be put into a small space with the help of journals that let us all share our thoughts, however angry and rude they might be, in the hopes of seeing what we will do.

I don't believe it is a recipe for anything but a lot of mindless tearing at one another. Perhaps it is just another case of caged animals. I am not certain I appreciate the idea of being a caged animal.

I'm not entirely sure I've written this right either. Am I making sense?

Now that I'm quite settled, I am going to do something that I haven't done since school.

Today's letter is R. I will start you off with a few words.

Riveting, Regal, Rabbit, and Radiant.

You don't have to participate, of course, but if you would like to, then just reply with the words you think of when you think of the letter R.

I have found much joy here, but I believe there is much anger as well. No, I shouldn't mention it. It would not help to point it out, I think. More people angry would not do. There are some disagreements that I have noticed, but I don't wish to speak of them. I wish to speak of the positive things we have found in this place.

1. I have a grandson whether he is truly mine or not. I still have one.
2. My daughter grows up to be quite a lovely young woman.
3. I have a great-grandchild who is very intelligent.
4. There are three of my most favourite person in the whole world. I know I am not the Ted two of you are aware of, but I hope that we can still be good friends all the same until your respective Ted's arrive if they are going to.
5. I have always wanted to find a new science fiction story. I think this one is very new to me.
6. Victoire Weasley is my granddaughter-in-law.

Tell me, what are the things about this place that have brought you joy? I think in talking about them, our moods may improve! I know it's very silly, but happiness it better than unhappiness.

I am debating waffles for dinner. Would anyone like to join me?

I haven't been here long and already I'm not certain how to proceed.

My name is Ted Tonks. I'm making a list of things I need to know and things that I'm already aware of.

As little sense as it makes for this to be some unfortunate illness-induced situation, I am inclined to be less than certain given that some woman I didn't know (though, she was very polite, so I suppose she wasn't an altogether unpleasant manifestation if this is just my mind) told me I was expected. The only problem with this...is that I was most certainly on my way to pick Dora up from my mother's house, so I don't understand why I'm here.

I understand I've been feeling a little under the weather lately, but-
Well, not enough to pass out and cause hallucinations, I don't think. I did mention it to Andromeda and she said she'd make something when she got home.

I hope I haven't passed out in the street. I would hate to get run over while I'm having some unfortunate sort of hallucinatory dream due to suddenly worsened illness.
