Okay, so, that was sort of a weird weekend. I think I'm deadly afraid of bears now...

But that's not important! What IS important is the fact that I got my business cards all made! They're not the fanciest things in the world, but they have my address and all my contact info on them, as well as a brief job description about what do in the wold of paranormal investigating.

However, that part is sort of in really tiny print, so people might not be able to read that. That's what I Get for trying to squeeze too much on one card. Ah well!

I've got a nice bunch of them at the flower shop, and I'm gonna scatter a bunch around the City. And also maybe the Underground.

It worked back home, so hey, it could work here!!


[PRIVATE TO EUPHIE//UNHACKABLE]

Hey, Euph!

I know we haven't really hung out since the visitor's curse...but, well, I figured since Suzaku just got here, you'd wanna spend some time with him, since he's new and has to get settled, and you two were really close back in your world...

But I was wondering, if you were free to do something sometime soon?

Aw geez, it's one of these curses.

...Okay, cool. Welcome, new people! Please do not feed the citizens, as some of them might get ticked off. If you want to give presents to your objects of stalker affection, come down to Ajisai to buy them flowers! Because nothing says I love you like flowers!

Other than that, enjoy the sights, have fun, and try not to step on too many people's feet. Seriously, that hurts.


...

Gallahad...? Are you here...? Worth? Conrad, Lamont, Veser, Toni, any of you guys?

...please, please be here...just for a little bit...


...What about Watanuki? Doumeki, Timothy? Thomas, Harry, any of you guys here today? Please?

Case 113

manofgnee: (-Rush on in!-)
Haha, yesterday was fun. So much beer...wish I knew what kind it was, exactly, but it was good! And yes, I was careful with how much I drank...balanced it out with pretzels, other snackies, and water.

Thank goodness for bottled water, otherwise I couldn't have gotten the kids something to drink!!

The only downside is that today, I've got a bit of a headache, and a tummyache. I'm gonna blame the tummyache on the various snackies. At least it's not a full hangover.

[PRIVATE TO CHRIS//UNHACKABLE]

...I thought about it, and you know what?

I want in on the police force thing. I want to start investigating the paranormal again. The kids are bigger, and...well, I can't mope about Gallahad or any of my other friends being gone forever. Gotta get on the saddle again, and I really miss it. Just gotta balance it with the flowershop and taking care of the remaining kids, Lassie, and Iznagi, that's all. And I think I can do that!!

So, what sort of info can you give me? What do I need to do to get involved once more? Is there a test, and do I need to study for it?

...um...and...well...would you maybe be interested in one of the puppies? I remember you looked after Jareth during one of the curses, and you seemed to do well with him, and I think he liked you, so...

Case 98

manofgnee: (-Determination!-)
Heh...yeah, sorry about yesterday. I swear, I'm not normally that...melodramatic or self centeredly emo. Let us pretend that it never happened.

But yesterday DID give me an idea! Well, sort of.

I thought about the kids, and I realized that they're getting bigger...maybe they should get some more big wide world experience.

Sooo...tomorrow I'm bringing the puppies with me to work at the flower shop! I thought it'd be nice since, even though they're outside of the house and meeting new people in a new setting, it's still pretty contained and I'm gonna be right there to make sure nothing goes wrong.

'sides. It could maybe be good for sales...they've dropped a bit. And I promised Doumeki that I would do a good job taking care of the shop for him...and with Watanuki gone, that's gotta go double!

[PRIVATE TO SAM//UNHACKABLE]

Hey, Sam?

Remember how I said that maybe it might help you get some sleep if you came and hung out over here sometimes...?

...well, I think I'm gonna need company tonight...had a really bad dream and stuff...

Maybe it'd be okay to have insomnia together...?

Case 79

Aug. 11th, 2010 08:58 pm
manofgnee: (-Cautiously optimistic-)
...I think I've been inside a bit too long.

I mean, the kids are fantastic and adorable and awesome and everything...but looking after them is basically a full time job. Which, in combination with my actual full time job and my favorite pastime of investigatin'...doesn't really leave me with free time.

Well, at least my sleep schedule is regular again, even if I still think the apartment is too empty and quiet...

...Wait, what was I saying again? Oh, yeah, being inside too long. I love everything I've been doing lately, but I think I need a break. Not a long one, mind, just...like an hour or so...I just need to sit outside for a minute, you know? Lightbulb light doesn't hold up to good ole fashioned sunlight! Or the beach. I haven't been to the beach in a while...

Ahiru, I know it's short notice, but I was wondering if you'd be able to look after the flowershop for an hour or so? I promise I'll pay you extra...and include ice cream too!!

Doll, if you or Penny are available, could you make sure the kids are okay? I just fed em, so I think they'll be set for a while.
...Oh, except that Little Sam has learned this new 'trick', which I don't think he should be able to do, since he isn't even walking yet.
He's somehow managed to find a way to wiggle out of the box he and the other puppies and Lassie are in. I don't know how he's doing it, but he doesn't get too far. Just something watch for.

...Is that normal, by the way?


TOTALLY UNRELATED, BUT.

Sam, didja find anything new to add to the notes? I'm sorry I haven't been able to do a whole lot...

Case 72

manofgnee: (-Half-truths-)
...I thought we already had a curse where it rained cakes...


Granted, these were tiny, little individual cakes, but cupcakes are still cake. It's in the name.

Ah well. I guess it was another duplicate...better write that down. There are a lot of duplicate curses, huh?

I was sort of busy, though, so I didn't actually try them...were they any good? They looked pretty...
Penny, you're brilliant and wonderful for getting the deities to do something that seems nice.

Anyway, I've decided that, with basically everybody I live with gone, it's too quiet and there's way too much space, even with a sheep and a pregnant dog.
So, I'm looking for a smaller apartment...nothing fancy, as long as its got a bedroom, a kitchen, and a bathroom.
Heck, if the kitchen and the bedroom aren't even separated with walls, that'd be ok too. Just something less...empty.


Anybody have an idea on what teeny tiny apartments are currently available? And are pet friendly?


...and...well, I put this off too, cuz I really didn't want to think about Gallahad actually being gone...but I guess I need to do this too...
Ajisai, the flower shop I run, has a new opening for my partner/assistant manager/whatever it's called. Gallahad used to do that sort of stuff...helping with finances, managing all the paperwork, dealing with orders...

But he's gone...and I can't do it all alone.

So, anybody interested should talk to me!

[ooc: ack, I guess the cupcakes were supposed to be last night's thing. Sorry!! Pretend he's talking about them in the past tense, because he is now. *was slow and didn't check dates on other entries augh*]

Case 66

Jul. 19th, 2010 12:28 pm
manofgnee: (-After much deliberation!-)
Ahhh...that was a great weekend. I forgot how liberating it is being a kid. Kids are awesome.

...gullible...but awesome. So, whoever was a talking cat over the weekend and tricked me into thinking they were an experiment gone wrong, and who basically told me to grow up and be the Spirit...you're a jerk. An awesome, awesome jerk.


...and for the record, I think I named every balloon I got until I was 9. And I still have no reason why. I also gave them faces. Don't judge me, I was an awesome kid.

Anyway. Thanks to everybody who put up with me when I was little again, and I hope I didn't cause any trouble...or miss anything too big or important.

Did I? I feel like I did.

Ah well.

[PRIVATE TO {...}//UNHACKABLE]

Hey, Thundarr...? I wanted to thank you for yesterday. Really, I think if it hadn't been for you, I might've drowned in the fountain or wandered off into the underground or something stupid like that...heh.

You know, you're really good with kids?

...Did I say anything too stupid or...well, personal stupid? While I was little, I mean. I'm worried I did...

Ah well. Oh, sorry for running off like I did yesterday. And you did a great job with the store too. Ha, Thundarr, you're just kicking butt at everything today!!

Case 64

Jul. 17th, 2010 01:20 am
manofgnee: (-Creepy Child-)
[A small, slightly chubby redheaded child is standing outside of a flowershop, clutching an orange balloon as if it was his lifeline. He appears to be about 5 years old, maybe even a bit younger, but is in actuality 7. His glasses are missing, and he's a bit more freckly than he will be when he grows up, but even as a kid, he's still recognizable.

This is Hanna Cross, and he is lost.
One minute, he was with his mother in the park...and then he wandered off for a second and ended up in a strange place.

And he's scared.]

M...mu...Mommy...?


Mommy, where'd you go...?

[Hanna sniffles a bit, clutching his balloon tighter, rubbing at one of his eyes as he starts to cry.]

I du-dunno where I am...I w...wuhanna go hooome...

[Still crying and still very lost, Hanna runs off, scared, looking for his mom, before, in frustration, he returns to the front of the flower shop, kicking the wall before slumping down and crying into his knees.]

I want Mom...



[ooc: Hanna Cross, age 7!! He's a bit...healthier looking than he is as an adult, and remembers nothing of his time in the City or the people he knows as an adult. He can't do magic (at least not purposeful magic) and he can't investigate the paranormal, but he can still get into trouble. Since we don't know much about Hanna as a kid, I'm just gonna wing it as best as possible. Good luck, City, he's your problem now!!]

Case 50

Jun. 21st, 2010 05:12 pm
manofgnee: (Hey there baby...)
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?

Case 35

May. 19th, 2010 10:35 pm
manofgnee: (You're mega weird)
So...I mentioned that I've been given the task of looking after Doumeki's flower shop, right? And, I wanna do a good job keeping it up, and continue all the good work he started...

Buuuut right now it's just me. I'm pretty sure there must've been other people before, but they've probably all left the City, since when I started I was the only one...man, Doumeki was the man for running this place by himself...

But, eh, I'm no wonder shopowner like Doumeki was. I'm gonna need some help.

So!

Ajisai is now hiring!!

I know I've got Stonewell's help for sure, and probably Watanuki's as well...but I need somebody with good money skills to help with store finances...and teach me how to deal with them too. Justine, Thomas mentioned you were good with that sort of thing...

But I still need some people to help with stocks, the cashier, delivery...that sorta thing. Anybody interested? I just found Doumeki's price list, so I'm gonna try to stick with that for now...

So! Anybody who wants to help out, talk to me!

[PRIVATE TO TIMOTHY//UNHACKABLE]

Hey, Timothy?

I dunno about you, but I'm really starting to miss Doumeki...'s weird without him here...

So I was thinking. It's still freaky just hanging out in the apartment, and I wanna go to the zoo, cuz that's always fun. Wanna come with?

[PRIVATE TO THOMAS//UNHACKABLE]

Ok, I just did some of the math, since I have the price sheet to work with now. Ok, your order of lilies is gonna depend on what type of lilies you want. The Calla's are a yellow a pot, the Casablanca's are 3 yellows a pot. And delivery is also gonna be a yellow!! BUT!

You're my friend and my first customer under the new management, so the delivery is gonna be free, and I'll throw in an extra pot for free.

Does that work out for you? When did you want these by again? Me and Stonewell can drop them off together as soon as you need them.
