Case 43

[manofgnee]

So, wait, the City thinks its ok to give us homework now? First, you basically kidnap us, and then you enjoy tormenting us on a regular basis...and now you give us freakin homework?

Seriously?

I...er...wow. That's all. Wow. I mean, yeah, the curse token thing sound sort of cool and kind of makes this whole nonsense of homework worth it, but...I am skeptical. See this, deities? This is skepticism. How do I know this isn't some sort of weird trick to do something? Huh?


...ah well. I guess the only real way to find out is to actually...do homework. My god, I haven't said that in a long time, and I thought I'd never have to say it again. Man, this place is weird.


Uh...I sort of have no idea what equivalence is, though. It sounds...sciency. Or mathy. And I can't really get to the library to find out whether or not its sciencty or mathy or something else entirely...since...well, hospital. Man this place is boring. Can I go home yet? It smells like iodine here and there's no tv and even though Jacques brings pancakes all the time, which is awesome, I still have to eat the icky hospital food...I miss my bed and my friends and my sheep.

Wait, what was I talking about again? Oh yeah, homework. I think I need help with my homework. Again, a phrase I never thought I'd say again.

Not bad for a first friend. My first friend was a toy soldier.

Uh, not really, no. Why? Is, uh, Nero or whatever having memory loss?

Nice!!

Well, he's got amnesia. That's why he gets different names, because we don't know what his real one is, and I thought that trying different names would trigger something...

I just wanted to see if that's sort of common or not...

He doesn't remember his past? Well, there's a lot of different lore on zombies, and I've seen three different types of them, now four with your friend. So I can't really say for sure. The only ones that were capable of cognitive thought like him were the ones raised by Death, and they all had their memories.

It might have something to do with how he was raised, or maybe some sort of trauma from his life. I'm sure that if humans can get amnesia, the undead can too. It's not common, but it's not impossible.

Hm...ok, I guess that all makes sense. He says he doesn't really care about finding out about his lost memories, but...

[ Private | Unhackable ]

[srsbusinessk.livejournal.com]

You think it's important?

[ Private | Unhackable ]

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

A little, yeah...

[ Private | Unhackable ]

[srsbusinessk.livejournal.com]

Well, that's not necessarily a bad thing. Just be careful with things like that. Sometimes the past isn't always as friendly as we wish it could be.

[ Private | Unhackable ]

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

I know that. Trust me, I hear ya there...still, maybe it would explain why he's a zombie. I think I care more than he does, honestly.

[ Private | Unhackable ]

[srsbusinessk.livejournal.com]

Maybe he's afraid. I know I would be.

[ Private | Unhackable ]

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Yeah, me too...can't really blame him.

[ Private | Unhackable ]

[srsbusinessk.livejournal.com]

But you're doing fine, Hanna. Just, stick with him. No matter what you guys find out, he's gonna need support. So make sure you're there.

[ Private | Unhackable ]

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

I'd always stick with him, no matter what. He's my best friend, and no matter what happens, he's stuck with me.

[ Private | Unhackable ] i...idek what happened with that icon /FAIL

[srsbusinessk.livejournal.com]

Good. As long as you keep that in mind, both of you will be okay.

[ Private | Unhackable ] :3 Aw, it's ok.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

You think so?

Thanks, man. You're smart, you know that?

[ Private | Unhackable ] <3

[srsbusinessk.livejournal.com]

I usually get nerd and dork, not smart. Thanks, Hanna.

[ Private | Unhackable ] much <3

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

But you are, though!! I usually get nerd and dork too, don't worry.

Seems like we've got a few things in common then. Besides the whole, way too comfortable with supernatural stuff, thing.

[ Private | Unhackable ]

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

I know! 'S weird...I like it, though! I like this place, it gives me a chance to meet cool people who actually like me! Well, I mean, I had friends at home, and they're awesome, but it's easier to get to know people here for some reason..

[ Private | Unhackable ]

[srsbusinessk.livejournal.com]

I think it's just the fact that we're all on even ground here. All trapped against our will and on the losing side of, well, everything. Makes people a lot more agreeable.

[ Private | Unhackable ]

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

That's true. Plus, there's so many different people here...and it's just easier to get along with people. Everybody has at least one thing in common!

I'm not really the best people person, but it's easier here!!

It really is. I'm kind of glad, to be honest. This place isn't exactly my idea of a vacation but it's a welcome break from everything back home.

[ Private | Unhackable ]

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

It really is a great break. When I get home, I have to deal with a ghost...and I really do NOT wanna do that.

[ Private | Unhackable ]

[srsbusinessk.livejournal.com]

I miss dealing with ghosts. Feels like it's been ages since life was that simple.

[ Private | Unhackable ]

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

I'm not supposed to deal with ghosts. Doc Worth says so, and he's probably right, but hey, if a ghost is causing somebody trouble or needs help, screw my safety, I gotta do my job!

That's sorta what happened when I got here, actually. Ghost went straight through me, and I kiinda got sick and passed out and woke up here! So...hey, this could just be a fantastically awesome fever dream, I don't know!

[ Private | Unhackable ]

A ghost passing through you can make you a little sick, yeah, but I promise this is all real. Unless you have fever dreams like this often.
