U:IX:Stonegate Cleaner's Diary

Title: Stonegate Cleaner's Diary

Author:

Day 1
I've been hired to keep Stonegate tidy, which is fine, but I really don't know about that ghost hanging around. He seems like a nice enough person, and he tries to be helpful, but it's just so strange to look at him and see through him. I saw some dirt on the floor through him the other day and I before I had time to think about it, I had walked right through him. Ever since then, he only appears as a disembodied voice. I don't think he liked having been walked through.

Day 2
This place is so hard to keep clean! First, the rats chewed through the harpsichord bench, and then all the earthquakes and shudders came, and started knocking bricks loose. Every time I get a brick put back into place, the Tower shudders again and they fall right back out! I'm not being paid enough for this.

Day 3
It's no wonder things have been shaking in here. I've just heard from my sister that there's been huge disruptions going on outside. She told me that her dog Kala was sleeping in the garden in front of her house, and some kind of tall red monstrosity came right up out of the ground right in the middle of her garden, and now her dog is stuck on top of it! My sister's pretty upset, so I'd better go try to help get her dog down. I should probably turn on the Tower defenses before I leave, or Hawkwind might be unhappy with me. What do ghosts do when they're unhappy? I'm not sure, but I don't want to find out.
