I"m also not sure about that Tech gremlin (i mean they call US that...why not it?) but we really appreciate any show of appreciation, like small gifts or food or something. Maybe you can gain it's favor somehow?

You've seen the ugly in the inhuman and the human alike.... we have to deal with those awful people on the DAILY. I'm not saying I'm team inhuman....but I can see where they are coming from sometimes. I get talked down too, ignored, forgotten, and then expected to drop everything when someone has a problem they created themselves.
Just recently I was forgotten in the office when everyone left early the last business day before a holiday.... they all left early and turned the lights off while I was still here. No one thought to say anything to me about everyone getting out early. So it's the accumulation of all these types of things that most likely gave birth to such an inhuman. I do feel pity for those just trying to do their work and getting the brunt of the collective anger of the IT field. It seems that those that ACTUALLY deserve the consequences never receive them.

Gotta trim them down a bit and make a few twisted pairs. :)

As an IT professional.... I completely understand where this inhuman being could have originated from. We (the IT professionals) have VERY strong feelings about people interrupting us when we are busy. Any tech worth their salt knows that our bodies can conduct electricity as well....so TECHNICALLY intestines COULD be used as wires.... just probably wouldn't get the best results from then. Though I feel that this is less a thing of "best results", and more just anger issues manifested into reality.

Ok, I"m ashamed that I didn't catch on to this before, and I'm sure that many people have made note of it already. Please, forgive me if I'm a little slow on this, but why does everything BAD at this place revolve around water? I mean just about everything has had some sort of water related happenstance. Traveling river, the rain, the too serene pool, the steam tunnels, even the wash lady has to do with water.
I'm sure that some of the other entities are related to water in some way or another as well. The possums hang around a coffee shop (a stretch there I think), but the I'm just trying to figure out the 2 things related to falling asleep in class. Those are outliers, but then they are also related to dreams, and not the waking world....so they could be a bit different?
The Devil seems to be against them, and he isn't born of water....but is rather connected with fire. So could THAT be something? Also, I'm a little scared about the Devil. I'm just remembering Kate and the whole "We don't make deals with the supernatural" thing. It never turns out well.
Maybe the dinner will help you shed some light on what's going on. If nothing else you could get a nice meal and some good company. I just hope the food is good.

Counseling is a good thing. There are different forms of therapy and it REALLY helps to talk through your issues. Just be wary of any thing that is "off" when you go. Kind of worried about a therapy monster.
