Case 50

[manofgnee]

So...This morning, I wake up, and I sit up, and guess what falls into my lap?

One of those token thingies!! I guess that since they gave out the new essay topic thing, we get tokens now.

Who else got one?



...you know, to be honest, I'm not sure if I even want it. I mean, yeah, one 'get out of curse free' card is sort of great...but I mean, not all the curses are bad, and I don't know if you can save these things for too long...


Are we allowed to give them away? Do they even work like that?

Augh, so many vague loopholes. Not cool.

So, I don't know. If I can't give it away, I guess I'll keep it and use for one of those real awful curses...but if I can give it away, I wanna give it to Merrick...is that ok with you, man? I mean, if they did another water curse, this way you wouldn't have to deal with it...if you don't want it, though, I understand.


Still trying to figure out whether or not I should try for one more. Eh. Don't wanna push my luck, but...

Ah well.

I'm off to ponder the future. Incidentally, this has nothing to do with the essay, but I bet that we'll get flying cars in the future, and it will be awesome.



Anyway, I'm also off to not only ponder the future, but go and examine the big clock again. And then do flower stuff. I'm thinking about doing a big sale soon, sort of like a 'hello summer, how are you?' thing, but I'm not sure what to put on sale yet. Any ideas?

Describe the token.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Well, it's small...and round...and it sort of looks like a Chuck-e-Cheese token, but without a mouse on it. It says 'one use only'.

[wetworking.livejournal.com]

I assume you think every one knows what a "Chuck-e-Cheese" is?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Uh...well, they have games and you put tokens in them to play.

[wetworking.livejournal.com]

An arcade, then.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Yeah, something like that!!

[wetworking.livejournal.com]

I see.

A common enough looking item to do a supposedly miraculous task.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Maybe that's the point...

[wetworking.livejournal.com]

Perhaps.

If I had gotten a token, I was going to give it to you. So I think you should keep it. I can handle a little water.

How about Chrysanthemums? Those are pretty.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Hm...well...but you hate it. Maybe I could go out to get one more and then give it to you.

I like Chrysanthemums. They're really nice...I like sunflowers too. Maybe I'll do something with sunny or summer-ish flowers like those.

I never knew you liked chrysanthemums...

[decade-of-rot.livejournal.com]

It's not really dangerous, so I'll be fine. Don't worry too much about it.

Sounds like a good idea. I think most flowers are pretty nice. Tulips too, but that's probably more of a spring flower.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Well....I'll still try to get one for you anyway.

They're sort of borderline...hm. Summer flowers. Summer summer summer.

[decade-of-rot.livejournal.com]

Hm. Carnations?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Oooh! And roses!!

[Voice]

[sitaronthewater.livejournal.com]

Huh, you got yours already? Mine still hasn't come. I think I could probably stand to do another essay, yeah.

Wait, someone wouldn't wanna have a water curse? Why?

[Voice]

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

I didn't really like the essay...I got a hand cramp. I don't want to do another, but I wanna go and try for another token for Merrick.


Merrick, my best friend, he's a zombie and he reaaally doesn't like water...

1/3

[sitaronthewater.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think the token's probably worth i-

[sitaronthewater.livejournal.com]

He's a- wha-

[sitaronthewater.livejournal.com]

Woah! There's a zombie in the City? But- no, but doesn't- I mean, what happens when he gets hungry?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he's a zombie...but he doesn't eat brains! He's really smart and a good cook...and I don't think he eats, we haven't really tried that out yet.

[sitaronthewater.livejournal.com]

He doesn't- so, uh, if he bit someone, would they turn into a zombie? As long as he doesn't eat people, I don't really care what he eats.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

No, they'd be fine. But he wouldn't bite anybody since that's socially questionable.

[sitaronthewater.livejournal.com]

Oh. Well, I guess that's good, at least. But still- I don't think that I like zombies too much. There was a curse once . . .

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I've heard about that one...he's not like that, though, I swear!!
