Merry Christmas!

I forgot to keep track of the days. I'm trying to get around Gaia's economy, but the market is confusing. Gaians sure love their pets!

The researchers guild I talked about has accepted my application! I am so excited to meet fellow resea...

I was just writing this when my train of thought was interrupted by a newspaper boy outside the window of my office. "Extra! Extra!" he shouted, running along the street waving his ware, bumping into people.
An incredible thing has occured! I am writing these lines in a hurry, eager to go out again and learn more about this strange phenomenon.
I am not the only visitor who comes to Gaia from another world! A series of transports, of so far unknown origin, have appeared over the Fields of Barton. Are the pilots friendly? Hostile? Are they what we can regard as intelligent, or merely things, animals following a greater will?
The Gaians seem to have acquired a few of those transports; I will head down to the blacksmith to analyze one of them later, if I am allowed to. If the stories are true, one might be able to travel over the borders of this land to other worlds in this word, exploring their universe! How positively amazing this prospect sounds!

More later - I must go tho the town hall now, in the hopes of finding out more while the news are still fresh.

Phew! That was hard and daring work - puzzles get so boring! - but I managed to scrounge together enough gold for a top hat! Shiny! I just had to have it, even though Mr. Wesley made it clear that his shop is usually accommodating more dignified customers. In any case, I managed to convince him that I had worked hard for it.
I'm wondering what's next - maybe a tuxedo jacket or coat, to complete the "circus director" look, or something more daring? I saw that you can also dress up with tentacle costumes - I'll try to get together a set to look like The Eternal Sweeper for the next costume ball!

Speaking of costumes, I found a place where the Gaians can pretend to be someone else. How very delightful! There seems to be an awful lot of public meeting places like this one around - it is hard to find my way, I hardly know where to look first!
What else to talk about? Oh, yes, the art gallery. Both painting and costume-making seem to be high in status for the Gaians, and there are vast galleries in which said artwork can be exhibited, discussed and even, to my great astonishment, judged. I will try to talk to the gallerists about putting up one or two of my own works - it would be interesting to see how the Gaian palate reacts to it.

Well then, off to a stroll in the gardens of Barton, showing off my shiny new hat...

Sunrise over Barton town is so pretty! The colors get all pink and yellow. Beautiful!
I wonder who of Gaia's citizens is storing all their coins under bushes, stones and in trees though. And everyone around is just taking it! Isn't that stealing?
I tried to show Moira my bug collection, but she just laughs at me and says it's too few yet. How many of those things do I have to have buzzing around in my pockets? They tickle!
