Repose

I suppose it's time that I properly introduced myself.

I've been in town for a couple of months now, but never found time to introduce myself. I'm Dr. Adamson. I've taken a position at the Quiet Home to help those who live there. I do have a home by the lake, though I still need to take the time to settle in.

If there is anything that I can do for anyone, do not hesitate to let me know.

Regards,
Jasper

Who: Burden & Cass
What: Who knows?
Where: The Mean-Eyed Cat
When: An evening
Warnings/Rating: Doubtful

The Mean-Eyed Cat was plenty crowded, but that was normal given the time of year. Folks liked drowning their sorrows during the holiday season, and misery loved company. Tonight, it was warm in the wood-paneled space, and Burden was tending bar until closing.

He stood behind the counter, dressed unremarkable, his jean jacket shucked off hours ago and tucked beneath the bar. He was singing along with a real old classic as he poured one out for a girl in a sweater that wasn't thick enough for the weather outside. And he had a real good voice, did Burden. Pitch perfect and crystal clear, and that was evident even with the balls at the pool table clanking against each other.

Speaking of the pool table, there was a game going on there for money. Burden, he didn't so much as blink about it. He didn't see a thing wrong with it, and he wasn't afraid to toss folks out if they needed it. For now, he just kept an eye on the pool table as he filled drinks, and he switched songs when Johnny did, singing along just as pure. And he was watching, and don't you think he wasn't. Father Amos, he had a lot to say about this town, a lot of interest in the moving of demons here. There had even been whisperings of Hellhounds and a Hellgate, and, more recently, whispering about the Devil himself hanging out hereabouts. Burden, he reckoned if the Devil was willing to go to Georgia, then Repose probably wasn't real out of the question.

I pulled The Moon in reverse.

There are illusions through out the world and The Moon helps you see through them, like it's light breaking through the clouds and shining down over a dark earth.

However, a Moon reversal in a reading can sometimes indicate that the darker and more negative aspects of the moon are present in your life. It could represent confusion and unhappiness - you want to make progress, but you are not sure what is the right thing to do. You must deal with your anxiety and fears by overcoming them, for they are like shadows in the dark. It is time to believe in yourself and move forward.

The moon reversal meaning indicates that you are in an intuitive period or you have recently battled confusion, anxiety, and self-deception. It could be that you are misinterpreting how you have been feeling and need a second look.

No idea who needed to read that, but there you go.

Deeply personal information offered up to the townspeople as fodder for idle minds: do you hope they're good ones or do you hate this fucking place?

Or something else.

This town is a gossiping cesspool.

So, to set things straight I am Hazel Hawthorne. I am going to be living at Lakeside. I was sent to this God forsaken place because they say I am a murderer, and now they call me a witch, so in their shame my family has banished me to a life of solitude with my keeper.

Since that's out of the way you now can proceed to leave me the hell alone and keep my name off of your lips from this point forward.

If anyone knows a good way to get glass shards out of a fake Christmas tree - I am all ears, or eyes, I suppose since we're on the forums.

Yeah so, winter is not the best time for broken windows. Can whatever is acting up just calm the fuck down? You overdid it. Cool it with the bullshit. Thnx~<3

Petticoat Man, Petticoat Man. Am I too late? Did you find someone's secrets stuffed in a sock?

Did you find the shoe you were looking for?

Did you like being someone else?

PSA: road trips are great! If you can take the time off, I highly recommend them. Especially doing it before winter storm season hits.

Did I miss anything fun?

How did you celebrate the Day of the Dead?

[Public]

Does anyone have a room to rent? It needn't have a window, but running water is a must.

I'm going to have apple cider on in the back all this afternoon, so if you're feeling festive and wanting some warmth, feel free to drop in Davies Drawing & Design. If you're in a costume, you can have candy too.

No age limit, but I expect costume costumes, none of these 'I put on a t-shirt' numbers.

This is so awkward since people will know who

Salutations is too pretentious

Hi. I am Audrey, though I typically go by Aud. I am introducing myself since I will be a new face at The SecondHand Bookstore.

I'll be working there part-time.

Again, hi.

I know there's been talk of nothing happening for Halloween this year, so I'm going to put this out there for those interested: The local arcade, we'll be running a dark night come this next Friday. All the games will be free, and the lights inside will be off. 18+, so I don't get the owner sued for more than exceeding capacity. Come if you're as bored to tears of this little town as I am.

Hello. My name is Rey Smith, and I used to summer on the lake with my foster family. I'll be staying in Repose for the next few months, at least through the New Year.

I'm looking for at least part-time employment in town. I have a degree in history and can handle all types of clerical work. I'm also available for shop assistant positions, odd jobs, and manual labor. If anyone is looking for seasonal workers, I could also take a position for the holidays. Thanks in advance for any leads.

I still think we should talk. I've learned some things you might want to know. Not about your parents and only indirectly related to Uncle Luke. But it's not the sort of thing that we should discuss on a forum like this.

Also I haven't spoken to your family.

[Less than ten minutes into the uber ride back from the latest rehab, a handful of new chips and key tags jangling in her hoodie pockets. They'll go in the back of her sock drawer with the rest.]

somebody tell me this town got an extreme makeover and is magically less depressing than it was 28 days ago

[After job postings become public.]

What is a nondisclosing agreement?

[After hearing from his lawyers, the same firm as in 1999, actually, about the B&B, which he's authorized them to reacquire.]

Looking to hire a few people for the B&B. Manager. Assistant. That sort of thing. Place is haunted. Can't mind that.
