Case 120

[manofgnee]

...I am very, very glad that curse is over. I don't...augh. I don't even know what to think.

I just hope that things can get back to normal here...and that people realize that, when cursed, they weren't themselves. So they should try to forgive themselves.

...Man, how do I segway out of that?

Oh! I got my costume done for Halloween! It...sort of looks terrible, since I made it myself and I've got zero skills in sewing...but hey, I got the Batman mask okay, and that's really the most important part.

I really do like Halloween...it's just a fun, carefree holiday. And...well, I think it's the sort of thing we really need here right now. Especially after last well.

[PRIVATE TO SAM//UNHACKABLE]

...Dude. Are you completely, totally, 100% back to normal now? These last few curses have...well, been bad. And I really did get worried about you...

So...let me know if you're good. Because I wasn't kidding when I said we should go out and do nothing together, since we both made it through another week of insanity. I got soda...~

Aaand...I have to ask you about something that the jerk that's mooching in your brain said during the nightmare curse. But I'd rather do it in person, you know?

That's good advice.

How are you feeling, Hanna? [Since you were sick last time she saw you.]

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Better, thank you! The curse, believe it or not, helped speed up the recovery process!!

How are you, though? I didn't hear anything from you on the network...they didn't drag you Underground, did they?

[deadly_legacy]

No, I wasn't affected... [physically] Not by that curse. [She did find herself decomposing recently.]

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

There were others going on as well...I heard...about people decomposing...

...you're okay now, right...?

[deadly_legacy]

[There's a somewhat lengthy pause.] I look like myself again.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you're okay.

[deadly_legacy]

I'm glad you are too. [Smiles]

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Do you have a Halloween costume? If not, we should go get you one!!

[deadly_legacy]

Ah, yes, I had gotten one before everything started actually. Just after my birthday.

[freckleddoll]

It was...that curse was too awful.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Oooh, yay! I can't wait to see it, I bet you look great!

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Yeah...yeah, it really was...

...You okay?

[deadly_legacy]

Thank you. I wasn't sure what to choose. I hope it will be all right. The skirt is a little short.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

If you think it's too short, you could wear shorts underneath it.

[deadly_legacy]

I'm sure it will be okay.

[freckleddoll]

Yeah. Yeah, 'm fine. You?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

I'm okay. Glad this is all over, though.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Just don't want you to be uncomfortable...

[deadly_legacy]

It's just that it might be chilly.

[freckleddoll]

You ain't the only one. Did my 'ead in, not knowin' 'ow to 'elp.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

I'd heard that October was a tough month, but really...

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Big comfy coat then?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

...I know.

Is there anything you feel okay talking about? I...well, I'm glad to know you're still okay...With these last few curses, I got really worried...

...Okay. I can understand that.

...just let me know if you need anything...when you need anything, if you just want to talk...

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

...Okay.

[deadly_legacy]

Maybe so.

[freckleddoll]

Tough ain't the word for it...

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

As long as it doesn't affect the costume, I think you'll be okay.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Torture sounds more accurate...

[freckleddoll]

Can never understand how they can do this to people! Draggin' 'em to 'ell, makin' 'em fight each other! As if they don't do it on their own enough already.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Because they can, and because they're jerks. God, sometimes I just want to...aaugh, I don't even know, but it wouldn't be nice.

[freckleddoll]

Give 'em a taste of their own medicine? It'd make us no better'n them, though, much as I'd like to do that.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

I know, I know...

[freckleddoll]

Maybe things'll be calmer for a while now.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

November isn't supposed to be known for being filled with particularly spooky days or ideas, so who knows? Maybe we'll get lucky!

I 'ope we will!

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

I hope so too. Positive attitude, maybe we'll get lucky!!
