Case 3

[manofgnee]

...Ok, quick question. This may seem stupid, but, a few days ago, when everybody was getting reeeeeeally personal...that was a curse, right?

And, and today, all the earthquakes and the screaming animals...that's one too, I assume? This isn't normal?

Are t Or do they get worse? Does anybody keep track of them? Cuz a lot of people seem to dislike them...but nobody seems to do anything.
Huh. Oh well.
Note to self. Keep curse diary. Look for repeats.


That being said, they really are ten kinds of uncool...Also, alleyways are not the best place to be during an earthquake, so I've abandoned my box for now.

Watanuki, can I stay with you until the quakes are done?

Dear Corwallis,

I've decided that, until I get home or you/Connie/Worth/somebody else I know gets here, I'm going to keep a diary journal of my escapades here for reference!

I met two of my heroes here already, but I think Sherlock Holmes is mad at me because I like paranormal investigating...oh well. I'll prove that its a legit field of business!

How are things back home? Is the investigation going well? Or is it really at a standstill while I'm gone, like people tell me? I hope things are ok.

Oh, gotta go, another quake is starting and they make it hard to write. Bye!

You can probably work something out.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

I hope so...I may end up staying with somebody if I'm lucky.

[backseatangel.livejournal.com]

I wish I had extra room, but I'm full up.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Aw, it's ok, I'll figure out something!

[backseatangel.livejournal.com]

'Course if this place shakes to the ground, we'll all be homeless.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

I certainly hope that it doesn't fall down!

[backseatangel.livejournal.com]

So do I.

You said you got a job? Where are you working?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

I'm a freelance paranormal investigator.

[backseatangel.livejournal.com]

So... you're really unemployed.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

...I guess...

I got paid in food once! And the other time, well...Conrad forgot to pay me, but that's ok. He didn't have to.

[backseatangel.livejournal.com]

So you usually work out of the goodness of your heart, then?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Yep! People need help, I try to help!

[backseatangel.livejournal.com]

I know a few guys like that.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Heh, well, we do try...sticking up for the little guy, saving people, fighting vampires with a bad attitude...the usual stuff.

Fun work, really. Shame the pay isn't better, but the free food is always good.

[backseatangel.livejournal.com]

I'm sure they do. The rewards aren't monetary.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Exactly!! Besides, I love my job. I'm like a ghostbuster!

...cept without an awesome theme song. Or Bill Murray. But I have a zombie sidekick, so that makes up for it.

[backseatangel.livejournal.com]

You have a zombie sidekick?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Yep! He doesn't remember anything, and I wanna help him get his memories back...

Today, I'm calling him Corwallis.

[backseatangel.livejournal.com]

...why Cornwallis?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Dunno. It felt right.

[backseatangel.livejournal.com]

Alright. Fair enough.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking tomorrow he'll be Alexei, do you like that? I think it sounds cool. And russian.

[backseatangel.livejournal.com]

Alexei Cornwallis, or just Alexei?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Just Alexei. We try a new name every day to see if it maybe triggers something he's forgotten...

[backseatangel.livejournal.com]

Oh! That's... I guess that's one way to do it.
