Episode 4: A New Pyle
Day 01: (3/19/03)
Observation: Upon returning from Spring Break, the Pyle remains relatively docile and contained
within its sleeping/travelling quarters. It's only a matter of time before it gets out for a stretch...
Crouching Pyle, Hidden Mess
Day 02: (3/20/03)
Observation: The Pyle appears to be shedding layers of material from itself and distributing
it within its home. Also, it seems that it has spawned a replica of itself in the opposite corner of the room!
I will attempt to document any changes in this new Pyle-spawn.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Pyles
Day 03: (3/21/03)
Observation: From a respectable distance away, I can see that the Pyle is going through
a period of transformation. It has completely rid itself of its travelling quarters and is now digging into the floor within
the perimeter. It is only a matter of time before the Pyle roots itself deep within the carpet, making it virtually impossible
to remove. As I see it, if the Pyle became hostile to anyone within the room, the only way to kill it would be with either
5 pounds of plastic explosive or lots and lots of disinfectant sprays and cleaners.
Indiana Jones and the Pyle of Doom
Day 04: (3/22/03)
Observation: It seems that overnight the Pyle went through a makeover. It has gone from disgusting
to ugly. Parts are strewn everywhere with bits and pieces all across the floor of the room. What happened to the Pyle? It
seemed to have exploded out of its home and thrown itself onto the nearby bed, desk, and center of the room. Haz-Mat
teams are clearing the dorm at this very moment. I must leave the room now for my own personal safety. Analysis reports will
come in sometime tomorrow.
The Good, the Bad, and the Pyle
Day 05: (3/23/03)
Observation: False alarm, folks. Apparently, the Keeper of the Pyle (who wishes to remain anonymous,
so we will just call him 'Kyle') helped the Pyle freely expand to its new stage of growth. As of right now, the Pyle remains
relatively quiet, but at a considerably larger size. In the future, a research team will attempt to examine the core of the
Pyle to see how it functions, but for now, they eat popcorn and watch a movie. They need to save all their strength for later.
Lord of the Pyles: The Fellowship of the Pyle
Day 06: (3/24/03)
Observation: I do believe that the Pyle has made 'friends' since its original incarnation almost
a year ago. One frequent visitor seems to be an object for carrying materials to and from class. It appears every weekday
in the morning and hangs out with the Pyle for a few hours, then quickly leaves. I do not know for sure where it goes during
the day, but I have seen it 'visiting' the Pyle late at night and staying until the morning until it quickly leaves again.
Hmm. More observation will be needed before I can speculate on the nature of this 'visitor'.
Saving Private Pyle
Day 07: (3/25/03)
Observation: Another potentially hazardous situation has developed in the room, but due to previous
analysis, we have determined the room to be safe...for now. It seems that the Pyle 'exploded' earlier today, leaving bits
of itself scattered all across the floor and walls of the room. We are unclear right now if this is natural for the Pyle,
or if someone came in, perceived the Pyle as a threat, and proceeded to kick the crap out of it. At this time it is difficult
to see if the Pyle is still alive, or if perhaps this creature can live without various appendages for a period of time. Doctors
are standing by with a staple gun and some string in the hopes of putting the Pyle back together, if in fact its life is in
danger.
The Thin Red Pyle
Day 08: (3/26/03)
Observation: After negotiating with the Pyle, it has been agreed that the floor space where
the Pyle makes its home will be cleared to permit a guest of ours to sleep there. The deal is that in return for the
space, the Pyle gets to feed upon everyone's left sock. A few months ago, I mysteriously lost one of my socks. I suspected
that it was consumed by the Pyle, but at the time I had no conclusive proof that the Pyle was indeed alive and capable of
such a horrific act. Anyway, the Pyle has relocated to the dark cavern that is the closet and sits silently. Suprisingly enough,
37 cents were found hidden where the Pyle once stood. This money will go towards the Anti-Pylism Coalition in case the
Pyle does in fact become hostile or potentially hostile.
Honey, I Shrunk the Pyle
Day 09: (3/27/03)
Observation: Today, the Pyle only briefly appeared to collect its things before making a concentrated
effort at moving itself into its temporary domain. It was difficult seeing the Pyle force its massive self into such
a dark and confined space, so much looking away and watching of the T.V. was done. There is now a large void where the
massive Pyle once existed. Only bits and piece of the Pyle remain, creating the illusion of a pseudo-Pyle. However, on the
other hand, the dissapearance of the Pyle has brought to attention the entity that my other roommate Russ has been keeping
in his side of the room, now known as Russ's Muss. Should anything permanent happen to the Pyle, the Muss will be the focus
of a followup observation.
Episode 6: Return of the Pyle
Day 10: (3/28/03)
Observation: The Pyle has returned from its little 'vacation', and from the looks of it, it lost
a bit of weight. As of right now, its mass is considerably reduced from its displacement a couple of days ago, but it is still
a formidable entity. For now, it looks healthy. Let's see how it likes the weekend...
