Laying Low

I've been laying low, staying in my motel room, and, you know what? It's really boring. Really fucking boring. You want to know what I've been doing?

I made a mental list of all of the ways I could kill that bastard who's fault it is that I have to lay low, drank, spent hours staring at the ceiling as I tried to sleep, considered taking up smoking - as in the real habit instead of the occasional indulgence - thought about how Harlow probably wants me dead, thought about that whole balance crap that goody-two-shoes was pitching the other night, thought about Owen, thought about ascending, thought about Owen some more, drank some more, and then I did a lot of sleeping.

Is this a dream; is it real; if it is, please don't wake me from this high.

April 15,

I dreamed of him again last night. It was so vivid, and, yet, I couldn't control him. I never can. I have as much control over myself as in real life, but, him...it's like he's there. Is it possible that he's...no. I can't go down that road. I won't go down that road. I'll only drive myself insane. Sometimes I think I'm already insane. So what's the harm?

If, somehow, he managed to survive-he couldn't have survived, I watched him die-and discovered, or suddenly decided to use dreamwalking abilities on me, he would say something, wouldn't he?

Wouldn't he?

PM to Kayos

posted by user blankslate

Hey, I'm not sure if you remember me from before, we never spoke online or anything? Nic, from the group shot to Manchester, I was the chick with the coordinates. I'm looking to get outside of the city for a few days, there's somewhere I need to be, and is there any chance you could help me get there?

I'm sorry for this sounding like bad code or something, too. And if payment's a priority or anything, we could figure something out I hope. Even if it's a no-go, thanks for before. I'm not sure I ever really got to say that? So yeah, thanks.

- Nic

Journal Entry Deux

Okay, I’ll go with the easy and admit that I hated the fog. It was very silent hill, and I’m sure we all know how that game turns out. And wouldn’t that be absolutely beautiful? Not very far off course, I’d say. We’ve already got the vampires and werewolves and demons and fucking angels fucking with shit. Now we have strange fog shit too? So yeah, I wasn’t a fan.

bored bored bored bored bored

posted by user kayotic

Who else is bored with all this fog and being stuck inside? I'll tell ya one person who is. That's me, friends and neighbors. Le Kayos is bored. So, clearly this calls for a game. Or, okay, kinda a game. Maybe.

I'm gonna start with a list.

1. What are you listening to right now?
2. If you could be anywhere in the world, where would you be?
3. Peanut butter: creamy or chunky?
4. Would you wear undies with holes in them?
5. Should zombies attack, what's your first move?
6. If you had a pet penguin, what would you name it?
7. You're making out. What music's playing? (bonus: do you try to keep up with the rhythm?)
8. If you went back in time to give your past-self some sage advice, what would your past-self do when faced with a crazy future clone person?
9. If you had to pick one celebrity to protect you from the oncoming onslaught of zombie pirate ninjas, who would you pick?
10. On a scale of 1(a wee bit) to 10(why are you not in a straight jacket?) where do you rate my level of Crazy?

Hi

Long time no see and all - hope your life's settled down after Germany. You been back there at all? I haven't, but maybe I will one of these days. But in the meantime, I have a potential friend of a friend referral for you. Guy made a wish that's screwed up his head, now he's got two parallel decade's worth of memories. Think there's anything you can do to help him? Word is, he's not handling it too well.

Written Yesterday, Delivered Today

Dear

Kitten

Not that I guess it matters. You’ve always been Thia to me. I’ve never noticed the difference before.

I suppose that by writing that it means I’ve noticed the difference now.

That’s why I wanted to write this, because I have. Of course I have. And I’m purposefully writing this before I know what you’re going to decide. And I’m purposefully not going to give it to you until after that decision is made. Because I don’t want to pressure you either way. Because I don’t think what I have to say makes a difference, or should make a difference.

wrong - private journal entry

How do you define a life? That's something I really would have waffled over answering before, or given some sort of dreamy sweet version of a point of view. But I think I know what makes a life now. Or, I feel like I do today. What makes a life is the experiences that go into it. Living, and all the things that you participate in, the events that happen to you, around you. We are what our experiences make us.

I keep getting told these things happened to me. Crazy things. And they're so far outside my ability to comprehend that sometimes it feels like I'm in the middle of some grand joke and any second, Dean'll smile, and tell me people've just been messing with me. But I know that isn't the case. Not after talking to Nic, and getting those printed emails from Megan.

pm to those who were going to come on vacation

posted by user kayotic

Hey all, sorry for the delay in vacation type things. To make up for the fact that plans are changing slightly, I offer to take anyone anywhere, and give you a good chunk of money to pay for whatever you need. I just have had a few things come up, and can't do things right now. Hopefully things'll get cleared up, and we can do the vacation as planned, I'd still like to do it, but yeah. Stuffs.
much love and such, hope everyone's okay!

Powers! You there! Ozma!

Okay, kids. So I've got this letter that says I get a wish and while I'm not entirely positive which hookah you lot've been into, I'm sure it's pretty damn good. Either way, I do in fact, have a wish. You asked for detail, so here it is.

See, I've got this friend Dorian. He's a great guy. He really is. He just can't seem to see that by like, any stretch of the imagination. He's better than he'd ever give himself credit for. He's hot, he's sweet, he can be funny when he loosens up a little bit. But yeah, seriously, you'd think he was that weird black sheep redneck mountain man cousin from Deliverance no one talks about at family gatherings if you went by what he says.

So, dearest Ozma, the Wizard, Glinda, Ole Westie there, whoever, I won't ask to peek behind the curtain, but I will ask for Dorian to get some confidence in himself. I want him to see what I see. I want him to stop tripping over himself every time he opens his mouth or tries to do something. He's awesome--let him bask in that awesome.

love n kisses,
kayos

a shot in the dark

Dear Powers that Be

There's little that I want for myself, especially now it seems, but I do know something I want for someone else. Multiple someone elses if I let myself get carried away, but I'll stick to the best one.

I want Caleb, my little brother, to be safe. Not kind of safe, but really safe. He's got an extra something there, but I don't want him to have the shortest lifespan of the three of us, even if that is the logical situation. I don't want him to stop what he's doing, or change how he is, but the last thing I want is to lose him before it's time. So something, anything, to keep him safe would be fantastic.

a wish

Hello there. First I'd like to say thank you if this is truly something that will happen, and I understand if it can't be done. I put a lot of thought into what I should wish for, and had a lot of trouble landing on a decision. But, after I spoke with a friend, I realized what I wanted.

I understand that the situation here isn't ideal. That the place has been cut off, and the world is changing all the time. what I know is a big concern of the people in Marquette is we aren't really self sufficient enough. A big fear is that we'll eventually run out of food. I would like that not to happen. I don't want the town to run dry on goods and wind up living in a horror film. So, if this can be granted, please ensure that Marquette's food supplies don't run out.

Thank you,
Hayley

left wanting

This is a little crazy but I'm writing you back anyway.

I started thinking about what I wanted, which was funny because I was already sorta thinking about it from something else I was working on, and honestly I came up with a bit of a list.

I wanted my friends back, I wanted to go back in time, I want someone in my life like I could have had with Kaysen, I want to be as close with someone else as I was with Porter.

But all of that's going backwards. I can't keep going backwards, so I went back and looked it again and I realized I don't really know how to go forward. I want direction. Something that kicks me onto the right track to everything. To getting better, to being happy, to finding what it is that I'm meant to do.

Hope that's specific enough for you.

sorting it out

Where do I want to be in life? What do I want to do? Who do I want to be? What's most important?

A week ago I would have said my friends were the most important thing in my life. I guess that's not really inaccurate, because I have other friends. I have Roxie, Meg, Dean and Thia. But I'm not as close with them as I was with Kaysen and Porter. But I guess that's done. Door closed.

Funny how that works since they walked through a fucking door together.

a little wish

Powers of whatever,

I want to be normal. Or less weird.

I don't want other people's memories and lives in my head. It was really fucking weird and quiet in my head the last time they stopped but I think I can get used to that. It wasn't like it was bad just weird and different. I want to be normal. Or here, if you can't make it go away? At least let me do something about it. Like control it or put up walls like Reggie can with her emotions stuff. Anything to make it less of an every day thing. I'm tired of it getting in the way of things.

my alt text

Powers That Be,

I'm not sure this is going to work. It seems a little weird and too good to be true, honestly. But if this is real, I mean no disrespect. I just..it is a little strange. Then again, what isn't anymore, right? For my one wish, I'd like to be accepted into Northern Michigan University. I know my grades haven't been stellar in the past, but I'm sure you also know the reason for that. I'm committed now and I can be a good student. I won't take this for granted, either. I want to start studying as soon as possible. The quicker I immerse myself in those classes and that knowledge, the quicker I can learn to help people. This is really important to me and if it's at all possible, I would truly appreciate it.

Thanks,
Roxie Bennet

Dear Powers That Be,

I'm lucky and I know this. I have people that care for me, a home to call my own, I'm making friends, and I'm learning from Nic. I know all this and yet I still worry. I worry most of all about Bradley, Colin, and Scott. I need them to be better, Powers. I need to know that they're all coping well, but most of all, I need to know they are safe. So while my wish is for them to be happy, I suppose it would be more practical to ask for us all to be safe, the whole household. This house, this family, Dean, Thia, Oz, Nic, everyone that has helped us..they are all we have and we need them protected from harm.

Thank you very much,

Misha Robinson

a wish i guess

This might be stupid, and I think it's probably bullshit, but I'd really like to not be fucking crazy anymore. I'm really irrational. I don't want to give up being a fire elemental, I guess, these days it's been better, but I don't want to be thrown by everything anymore. I want to be able to be calmer. And if none of that shit's doable, I want my brother to come home.

To Whom It May Concern,

This has got to be the weirdest thing yet. I can't believe this is even an option. Maybe it isn't. Maybe this is some crazy prank but right now, I can't take that chance. There's something I need gone from me and if this is the only way to do it, then I suppose I need to risk looking like an idiot writing to some vague 'Powers' and just do it. My wish is to be rid of the memory of seeing those men die. Back in that town, in that building, with Prue...it was the first time I'd ever seen something like that and it haunts me. So please, if you could make this happen, take that memory away from me. I don't want to forget about Prue, she was the only reason I made it out of there, but to forget about them would be a blessing.

Sincerely,
Annabell Davis

I hope this is real and at the same time, no

Powers That Be,

If this is really honest... there's a long list of things I'd wish for actually. Like to have all my friends stay home on New Year's Eve so they didn't end up stuck in Manchester with me. But then I would've had to go through all of that on my own and there's what I suppose is a selfish part of me that doesn't want that because then I would've been dead. I would've had to go through all that on my own and I wouldn't want that.

Dearest Darling Powers That Be,

I have everything I want, except one thing. I want a permanent residence in the Marquette area. It would be nice to have a home again in a place that interests me. Somewhere dark with no windows is essential. I hate the sunlight.

Let's set a date for tea sometime. It would be lovely to catch up with you.

Yours truly,
Agnes Tenanbaum

Powers,

This has got to be some kind of bullshit, but with everything as weird as it is, why the hell not...

I want to be strong again. Every time I look down at my leg and see that it hasn't healed yet... This is ridiculous, how the hell are you going to make me strong again anyway? This better not be some fucking prank. But..on the off chance that it's real, I want to be strong again like I used to be.
