**jacobBrandt opens memo: Hello World!**
Hey Kirk! How have you been?
psionicPskateboard
I've been well. And yourself?
jacobBrandt
Good, if not counting being peppersprayed in the face. xD
psionicPskateboard
How did that happen?
jacobBrandt
That my friend, is a long story, but I guess because I don't trust anyone else to tell it correctly, I should tell it.
OH, I forgot something, do you believe in psychic abilities?
psionicPskateboard
Um, yes.
Yes I do.
Why do you ask?
jacobBrandt
Well, the person who peppersprayed me manipulated my sense of smell, the entire room smelled like vomit, which left her able to blind me with the capsaicin.
psionicPskateboard
Oh.
Well that sounds... unpleasant.
jacobBrandt
It was indeed, I was nearly killed.
psionicPskateboard
Wow.
jacobBrandt
Also, have you visited the park crater?
psionicPskateboard
No, I haven't gotten around to that yet.
Is there anything interesting about it?
jacobBrandt
Well when you do, could you tell me how deep it is?
psionicPskateboard
I guess I could. Why do you want to know?
And why can't you go yourself?
jacobBrandt
I really don't want to go outside the house.
psionicPskateboard
Why? Because you were just almost killed?
jacobBrandt
Yep, and I need to relax a bit.
psionicPskateboard
Okay then.
jacobBrandt
You would be scared of Ana as well if you were peppersprayed by her, no less live in the same town.
psionicPskateboard
Wait, Ana did that?
jacobBrandt
I am positive.
psionicPskateboard
You mean Ana Locke?
jacobBrandt
Don't judge her, I am sure she was just scared.
I do.
psionicPskateboard
That doesn't sound like her.
jacobBrandt
Have you seen her scared or angry?
psionicPskateboard
I've seen her angry before
And she doesn't seem like the type to try murdering someone.
jacobBrandt
Do I sound like the person that goes into the woods to find dead people?
psionicPskateboard
That doesn't really sound like something that anyone does.
So I guess not.
jacobBrandt
The thing is, it is best not to judge a book from the first few pages, if you get my meaning.
psionicPskateboard
I don't think I do. What _do_ you mean?
jacobBrandt
Hmm... I need to think to find a different metaphor.
psionicPskateboard
No, I understand the analogy.
I just don't understand how it applies.
jacobBrandt
Every person has secrets.
psionicPskateboard
Okay then? Are you talking about Ana or yourself?
jacobBrandt
Both, I guess
That statement applies to me as well, even though I try to stay honest
psionicPskateboard
I see.
So what was it that made Ana so scared/angry that she decided to attack you?
jacobBrandt
But enough with the philosophical nonsense, I am sure you would rather me get to the point rather then drone on about everything.
She thinks I am stalking her.
psionicPskateboard
Well, are  you?
jacobBrandt
Of course not.
Why would I want to, seems like a waste of time to me.
I might as well start from when I left off last time, remember those decorations I was talking about?
psionicPskateboard
Yes.
jacobBrandt
I didn't feel like it was necessary to tell you everything, but now the situation calls for it.
They were bones from a corpse in the forest.
psionicPskateboard
Oh.
Wow.
jacobBrandt
Scary huh
psionicPskateboard
I have to say, I did not see that one coming.
I guess it's kind of scary?
But if it was just some random corpse, it's more just odd.
Really,really odd, but still.
Especially if it was just some random corpse lying out there in the forest.
Wait, was it fresh? Do you think we have a murderer out in the forest?
jacobBrandt
Well, he was homeless  from what I gathered.
He had his own little place under the trees with a camp fire.
jacobBrandt
he might of just died from alcohol poisoning
jacobBrandt
There was quite a few bottles there.
psionicPskateboard
I see.
So he didn't come pre-dismembered? You actually butchered him up yourself?
Because that actually is pretty scary.
jacobBrandt
I needed to get his bones.
You kinda have to do that.
psionicPskateboard
I don't really think you "had to" chop this guy up, but whatever.
Do you have any other weird confessions to make?
jacobBrandt
Well, how else am I supposed to take out the guys bones?
I am just catching you up.
psionicPskateboard
I don't know, buy fake ones from a store?
jacobBrandt
They don't look as good as real ones.
And to be fair, I was looking for dead dear.
psionicPskateboard
Oh.
Okay.
jacobBrandt
But there were none out.
psionicPskateboard
That makes it almost slightly understandable
But you know what?
Why don't we discuss something else
Like why Ana thought you were stalking her.
What was up with that?
jacobBrandt
I was tired when I came back, and went to the wrong apartment.
psionicPskateboard
That's it?
She thought you were a stalker based on one incident?
jacobBrandt
I came to see her father once before, to ask him about a person I knew who might have murdered someone.
psionicPskateboard
Oh.
jacobBrandt
Her father is the SWAT guy
So I figured he might know something.
psionicPskateboard
((I thought her uncle was S.W.A.T.))
((And her parents were dead))
jacobBrandt
((Exactly, Jake thinks that her uncle is her father.))
psionicPskateboard
((Ah.))
You mean her uncle.
jacobBrandt
Oh?
psionicPskateboard
Her uncle is S.W.A.T.
jacobBrandt
Then that must be him.
psionicPskateboard
Yeah, she lives with him.
psionicPskateboard
Because her parents, well, I'm sure you can guess.
jacobBrandt
So I ask the Lobby Manager, Mr. Leafen, if he would let me take a short nap in one of the chairs.
jacobBrandt
I was pretty drowsy then, so I don't remember things as clearly as I normally do.
psionicPskateboard
So do you remember what happened after your chair-nap?
jacobBrandt
A little bit, I was disturbing in my sleep, and tried to walk outside to get to my apartment. I am normally a heavy sleep, so of course I don't last long before falling asleep on the ground.
It was pretty funny.
psionicPskateboard
Oh.
jacobBrandt
So some guards come and pick me up at the station to keep me there until I can fully operate, so to speak.
psionicPskateboard
The station?
jacobBrandt
*take me to
jacobBrandt
And lo and behold, Anastasia Locke decides to sneak past a guard, stealing his keys, then pepperspraying me in my temporary holding cell.
What a wonderful way to wake up.
psionicPskateboard
That sounds like a lot of trouble to go to just to beat someone up.
jacobBrandt
I know right?
But I am positive it was her.
psionicPskateboard
If you say so.
jacobBrandt
See you later, Kirk.
psionicPskateboard
Okay.
Goodbye then.
