Case 34

[PRIVATE TO SELF//SLIGHTLY HACKABLE]

I can't believe Doumeki's gone...

I mean...people have left before...but Doumeki was my friend. I worked for him, he let me stay with him...he meant a lot to everybody.

I dunno what's gonna happen now. Everybody is taking it hard...he's been here a while...

I should do something. Something to try and make everybody feel a little better. I just need to think of something...


...Oh my god, he left me the flower shop.

I have a shop to run now. How...How am I supposed to do that? I've only ever worked for somebody else in the retail business!! This is completely different from paranormal investigating!

I have a lot to think about...

...Here's to you, Doumeki. I'll do the best I can. Not just with the shop either, but with everybody in the apartment.

[END PRIVATE]


So....uh...I own a flower shop now!

Anybody wanna give me a hand with it? I've never run a shop before, and I promised Doumeki I'd do a good job...so I really don't know what to do yet.

Orion, you'll help me...right? I mean, we'll still do the paranormal investigating, because that's awesome and the best job in the world, but...well, having some extra money coming in couldn't hurt.

...though, I don't think Doumeki ever actually paid me...ah well, that's not the point.

You guys'll help me, and it'll be great! Any takers?

Ain't this whole place 'paranormal'?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Yeah...but I mean bad paranormal. Like paranormal that decides its ok to hurt people when its not.

[night-watching.livejournal.com]

Ain't that what it does most of the time?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

No, not always. I know a very nice vampire, and my best friend is a zombie...

Besides, sometimes it's the paranormal that needs the help!

[night-watching.livejournal.com]

Zombies? Vampires?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Yeah!

I think I might also know a werewolf...

[night-watching.livejournal.com]

...this place gets weirder and weirder.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Pfft, that's normal at home. Sorta. And it's not so bad, really. There are good vampires and werewolves and there are bad ones.

[night-watching.livejournal.com]

You don't have to be human to be people, you follow me? So, I feel ya.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

No, I know that.

I'm Hanna, by the way!

[night-watching.livejournal.com]

There are good people and bad people. The species don't matter.

....Hanna?

Uh, Raphael.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Exactly!! That's what I try to live life by, anyway. Can't judge a person based on their species.

Yeah, Hanna!

Raphael? Nice name! Like the artist and the ninja turtle, right?

You might have broken his brain, Hanna - Also part 1

[night-watching.livejournal.com]

[night-watching.livejournal.com]

......what was that last part?

Brain breaking: its what I do.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

...The ninja turtle...?

Haven't you heard of them? They have a comic book, and some movies, and 2 cartoons...

now it's uber-suspicious Raph time

[night-watching.livejournal.com]

Why don't ya tell me about it.

Why is it that whenever he breaks 4th wall, people get suspicious.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Well, ok!! 's weird you haven't heard about them though.

Ok, so there are these 4 turtles, and they live in the sewer with this wise old rat, Splinter...and they've all been mutated, and they have awesome ninja skills and fight crime in secret. And they've got friends like April O'Niel and Casey...and they fight people like Splinter!!

There was a comic first, then a really cool cartoon in the 80's...and then 3 movies that got worse and worse, and then ANOTHER awesome cartoon...

Ninja = secret. no one's supposed to know~

[night-watching.livejournal.com]

.......comics?

[I have the sneaking suspicion Hanna is not going to explain what a comic is....]

Hanna knows aaaalll....

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

You know! Comic books!

They're books...only they're primarily made up of pictures that are all linked together...but there's still dialogue.

...Wow, no offense, but how do you miss comic books? Comics rock!!

and now Raph is all >|

[night-watching.livejournal.com]

I know what comics are, kid.

.......just a lot ta take in.

On behalf of Hanna, I apologize. he's not a creeper, Raph. Really.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

...Yeah, this place is really a lot to take in at times. I can understand forgetting some silly things like comics.

yes he is. Don't lie

[night-watching.livejournal.com]

Okay, this might sound weird.

...are you from a comic book?

ffft, ok, your comment. Best.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

...Uh.

Not that I know of...I guess maybe in somebody else's universe, I could be...but as far as I know, I'm not...

lol well I do try

[night-watching.livejournal.com]

That happen a lot?

I think Hanna would take being a comic character better than most.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think so...
