texture · 9 Nov YDAU, ~1800h

When: YDAU (2009), Monday 9 Nov, ~1800h errand (catalog "?/9 Nov")
What: New resident Joelle demands vegetarian food (would "rather eat a bug"); Pat Montesian indulges her inexplicably (Big Red Soda Water, noises about menial-job exemption) and sends Gately out for eggs and peppers. Gately's first sustained registration of her: "the weirdly-familiar-but-Southernish-sounding girl Joelle van D. with the past-believing bod and the linen face." (Her Big Red preference matches the motel-shoot detail of event 26.)
