Network comm for The Land of Make Believe

I never really knew life could be so... normal. I think I'm bored. That's not exactly a thing you could say back home.

Does anybody want to come fishing? Or, I don't know what else there is to do for fun?

[Filtered to Gale, Katniss, & Johanna]

Just wanted to see everybody's... all right? As all right as we can be, at least.

I am recruiting for a pirate crew. So far, it consists of myself and Elizabeth Swann. And possibly Annie Cresta though I haven't asked her yet.

Anyone?

[Filtered to Annie Cresta]

Do you want to join my pirate crew?

I managed to find myself a job that works with my knowledge. The museum is training me on how to be a tour guide in the pre-18th general history and naval history. I can obviously give plenty of information about piracy, although I think I'll leave out the cursed skeletons and kraken.

Jack, would you like to take that half-day trip to the ocean?

...so...I got a job. Over at The Vault.

Don't everyone applaud all at once. Oh hey, look at her being an adult now. 'bout fucking time.

Yeah, well, shut up.

This is a serious low for me. I've already drank three beers to get through this disbelief. I've never actually had a job before. Good thing I've made friends with the owner, considering I stop in there so many times in the week. I think that place is the only place in the city I've actually legitimately paid for something. Anyway, it means all I had to do was ask and I got the job. Yay me. I start tomorrow. Yeah, that's right. I start on Free Comic Book Day.

This whole thing fucking sucks.

Also, Sunshine and Doctor Angst are both gone. Not that any of you probably even give a shit. But that's at least one of the few people who actually liked me and one who tolerated me now gone. Awesome.

Yes I can get you discounts. But only if I like you.

I suppose "pirate" and "lady" wouldn't be considered real job options here.

Well you all certainly weren't joking about strange things happening here. I believe I've had my fill of being turned into half animals now, thank you. Twice is more than enough for anyone.

I've been compiling a record of everyone who is here currently. I'm looking into what worlds you all come from and how they differ from my own and others. I want to see if there are any patterns about why we were specifically chosen to be here. If any of you would be willing to speak with me about it, I would appreciate it.

And Annie, I did promise to show you magic. Now that I no longer have ears and a tail, I would be more than happy to do so.

FILTERED: HARRY & LILY

Now that we all seem to be back to ourselves again, perhaps we can reschedule our meeting? Lily, I'd like the chance to get to know you without the both of us being upset over those books. Not that I'm not still upset, but I've at least had a few days to calm down and

My legs! They are back! I was starting to think that I was going to be condemned to the lake for the rest of my stay here!

Not that I mind the lake, but it is nice to be able to walk again.

I HAVE HANDS AGAIN!

It's like Christmas, but with human body parts.

Here, AGAIN?! Make up your damn minds.

FINE!

*This is followed by a long, loud, angry, incoherent shout into the phone.*

[ooc: accidental voice post!]

"What in the world are these buttons ... I don't care about a meal schedule, thank you very much, I want to get back to my ship!" Loud key smashing noises. "Hello? HELLO?"

Alright...so I know I don't exactly have many fans out there. Especially those at the castle.

But can someone suck it up for one night and help me out? I need to get to a bigger body of water. Staying this fucking tub will grow old fast. And I know you castle people got a lake somewhere.

Any takers?

Bueller?

...

.....

I need rum, or a lake. Or both. Who wants to give me both?

Boo. Apparently my dart playing buddy poofed. There really should be a memo when people get sent back home. If you're gonna do it like a thief in the night, at least put it on the news or something. Geez. Maybe I'm too used to headcounts. Whatevs.

Guess I'm flying solo at the bar again Friday night, lame. Maybe I should start actively boozing so it's totally reasonable that I go there on a semi-regular basis.

I am going to wear the bat socks all the time.

I have eaten so much sugar I think I'm shaking

Or at least all day today.

Batman isn't here right? I mean I wouldn't want to infringe on his whole Bat-thing

...what are these things that look vaguely like chicks?

They are delicious.

Oh thank fucking goodness!! This bullshit is over.

I loved the fighting; but now my broken arm is healed, and we don't have to do dead Reaver body disposal either.

I need sleep.

I need food.

I need to do some serious drinking.

Any of you want to join, you can. Let me know soon, 'cause I'm totally getting the hell out of this stupid castle ASAP.

-Faith

...

I am not sure what to say.

Was this whole thing a dream? I am not exactly sure how this happened.

I think I need some rum. Anyone want to join me?

Woah.

What am I doing on this television thing?

What is this magic?

[OOC: Faith is very, very, very drunk. Which is saying something considering she can usually hold her liquor really well.]

How the...the ffffffffuck...does this thing work? Is it on? I can't tell. Are you on? Voice! Goddammit! I can't type right now.

B! Hey, B! B, B, B!!!! Blondie. Banana. Yellow bee! Fearless leader! My leader. My sponsor!

I drank them away but the images burn. They're still in there. Why must everyone yell all at once? You don't all need to yell. I can see what you're yelling about now. I can see.

[There is a loud thud when Faith drops the phone.]

Damn it! Hey, you! Yeah, back the fuck off the bike! Yeah, you keep on walking!

[Shuffling noises where Faith tries to pick up her phone again.]

How are you? Do they still burn you too? Did you try beer? I don't know if you should try beer.

Where is everyone? Where are my friends? Do I have friends? Shaggy is gone. But, Sunshine? SUNSHINE! Beware, SUNSHINE!

Don't die again B! Don't die. I can't run things on my own. I can't save. I destroy. I'm a monster. You stay.

Fucking hell!

[A little bit of shuffling, a final click, and the voice post cuts out.]

Help!

There is no one preparing breakfast in the kitchens. Also, there is no food prepared in the kitchens!

At least there are sandwich makings...

And rum.
