Case 69 [Video]

[manofgnee]

--It's just an old mess I've been meaning to clean up...by the way, 1,000 of these guys are supposed to grant a wish, so let's make a bunch!

[Hanna is sitting on the edge of the big fountain, hunched over and smiling, concentrating on something. He's folding a piece of paper, and he doesn't seem to realize he's no longer at home. After a minute, he grins and finally looks up, holding up a small paper crane.]

Not a bad idea, right, Oscar?

[He blinks, smile fading to be replaced with a look of confusion. Wait, this isn't his apartment.]

Oscar?

[Hanna blinks, looking around in confusion.]

Oscar, where'd you go?
...wait. Where did I go...? This isn't my apartment...

[After a minute or two of looking around and wondering what exactly what's going on, Hanna suddenly realizes where he is, and a wave of relief washes over him, and he smiles.]

Ohhh...I thought I was done with this place! Man, I can't believe I forgot...
Hey, I'm back in the City!!

[He grins and stands up, still holding the crane and looking around.]

Hey, Oscar, Sam, Billy, everybody, I think I'm back! Wonder how long I've been gone for...Hope I didn't miss too much...


Sorry, I left, Oscar...I'll be right home soon!

[He grins, still talking to himself, before he rushes off, going to try and find a zombie that's no longer here in a house that's basically empty (save for a sheep and a grouchy pregnant dog).]


[ooc: Screw it, I came back early because I didn't end up going away. Ah well...pretend that this lasted 3 days instead of 2. Anyway, Hanna is back from his canon update!! He's now been updated to the beginning of chapter 3, which can again be found here: http://hanna.aftertorque.com/?p=605]

Means people are less likely to borrow them and not give them back.

Benefits to everything!

[bufferprincess.livejournal.com]

I'm happy you're okay.

[srsbusinessk.livejournal.com]

Hey, man. You haven't been gone too long. It's only been a couple of days since we last talked, at least.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

It felt like I was a lot longer...I think I was gone for a while, as far as home was concerned...

Did I miss anything big?

And...hm...oh! Are you doing ok? I feel terrible not having remembered you and the others at home...

[justcautious.livejournal.com]

Does do, yeah. Best that way, I think. Lets you 'ave a while at 'ome. Well, even if I do end up repeating stuff.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

I got to take care of unfinished business...so I feel at least like I got something done...

[justcautious.livejournal.com]

Oh aye? Sommat like turnin' the stove off y'left on at 'ome?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

A wee bit more extreme than that, but yeah, same concept.

[justcautious.livejournal.com]

Yeah, gen'rally is. I were shot when I went 'ome.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Christ, man, were you ok?

[justcautious.livejournal.com]

It were jus' the arm, Hanna. Nothin' real serious.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Oh...that's good. Well, I mean, it's not good you got shot, it's good it wasn't too terrible.

[justcautious.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah. Still alive, me. But ta. Anyway, I bet goin' 'ome's all about doin' stuff. Like...y'can't come back unless somethin' big's 'appened.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Yeah...like some sort of big old update. But I god what I needed to get done done...sort of. But oh well. Felt good, actually!!

[sitaronthewater.livejournal.com]

What are those things?

[Voice]

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

What, the cranes? They're origami!! Make a thousand, and you get one wish that comes true!

[srsbusinessk.livejournal.com]

You're not supposed to remember all of this when you go home. That's kinda the point of this place existing outside of existence.

I'm...not exactly fine, but I'm doing okay. Better now that, well...The craziest thing happened. You'll never believe it.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Still, feel sort of bad anyway.

I'm glad you're better....tell me what happened, though!! Crazy should be my middle name, I wanna hear!!

[srsbusinessk.livejournal.com]

Dean's a ghost, Hanna.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

That's awes...wait.

He's a...a ghost.

Well...at least you two are able to communicate, right...?

Just tell him that I say hi...since I'm not supposed to be near ghosts...

Do you think that it's permanent?

[srsbusinessk.livejournal.com]

I have no idea, but honestly? I'm just happy to know he's okay. Well, not okay, but not...y'know, gone.

Why aren't you allowed around ghosts?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

I'm glad he's still here too, even if he is now made of plasma.

Doctor's orders. Not like I really listen to them, but with Worth not being here to deal with me when I inevitably don't listen, I can't take the risk and end up in a legitimate hospital...again...

[srsbusinessk.livejournal.com]

I don't know about plasma, but the sentiment still stands.

Huh. That's odd. So, what? Bad experience or does something happen every time you come in contact with one?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Hey, is he the invisible sort of ghost that can communicate by moving stuff, or the wailey ooh kinda ghost?

...Something bad happens. And like I said, without Worth here, I don't really wanna see a doctor.
