TONIGHT on the SKELETON SHOW.

Can nightmares kill you in your sleep? It's more likely than you think. We're going to talk to real people who had near-death experiences in the comfort of their own bed! One young man claims to a dream where he was stuck in a thorn patch and woke up with a splinter! The horror! You won't be sleeping anyway, dear city, so why not spend the night with me?

[After seeing this, before even replying to the anon.]

To avoid the Night Terror, you only have to WAKE UP. He has no power to keep you asleep. Don't sleep alone. Sleep in the same room with someone you trust, and wake each other up if it sounds like a nightmare is taking place.

I am 87% certain that a public forum is a very bad idea. However

Hello, residents of Seattle. I have just arrived, and I'd like to offer my services to my fellow Creations. I have worked as a P.I. in Musings for several years under the tutelage of a more experienced investigator, so now that I am in a new location I will be opening up my own service. I can be contacted at [phone number], for those who are interested.

Also, I am in need of a sparring partner familiar with capoeira, as I left all of mine behind when I moved. If anyone knows the style well enough that I could practice with them, I would appreciate some company during my workout.

Well, color me an idiot and send me to the fair on Sunday.

I think movies and ice cream aren't exactly going to cut it, this time. Night out on the town? Meet some gentlemen, get into some trouble?

Any takers?

I thought I could read people a little better than that. Maybe I really do need a new job.

I couldn't help but notice that all the information packets that I left in the lobby for PETA are still there. I would encourage everyone in Hamartia for the fifth time to pick up one of these very informative packets and read up. The treatment of animals in this country (and most of the others) is absolutely abhorrent! And they're animals. What are they going to do without people to step up and look out for them?

Even if you don't buy into all of what PETA stands for, you could at least take a look. There's plenty of non-vegetarian practices that promote the general wellbeing of animals! I also have information packets from the Humane Society, if you'd prefer.

And if anyone from either of the other buildings wants information, just ask. I don't have a problem dropping stuff off for interested parties.

Edit: For the record, I know very well that PETA can be crazy. That doesn't mean that everything they say is crazy. The information contained in the packets I'm talking about is specific and not-crazy.

I don't think I've quite recovered yet from the Masquerade. Yet more proof, of course, that it was indeed a 'howling success' - although I'd like to know exactly what about my tryst with a certain ringwraith could have possibly been considered 'less-than-savory'. As far as I'm concerned, that was a completely morally inoffensive affair. I'm inclined to point out that I will do whatever I please in the men's room at my own restaurant, on Halloween and my birthday no less.

I must say, Seattle - well done. You outdid yourselves spectacularly.
I'll be billing you all for the cost of replacing the carpets.

Brigs Mercer.


Oh, and darling?
Next time, perhaps don't try so hard to break my mirrors.

You free monday evening? Want to hang with me and Angel? She seems nice, said we could all get pizza. p.s. if I don't reply right away it's cause I can't.

[Directly after getting home from this]

Sometimes, I think I'm in the wrong line of work.

Text or call if you need me for anything.

Don't wait up. I'll see you tomorrow and you can tell me how your date went.

Okay, so, let me get this straight. We're "Creations". There has to be a better non-religious term for this.

People acquired "Abilities" when they crossed over the portals, which have a downside. Some people can read minds, some people can fly...

And I turned gay.

1. I'm struggling to see the up-side to this.
2. Somehow, I feel really shortchanged.

I can't sleep.

And I'm hallucinating.

That chair just moved by itself.

Invisible forces partying in my house. I'm going crazy. Great.

I need suggestions for good food, from a place that delivers late in the areas in and around the Bathos. Or someone to come and cook me dinner—for I am hungry and feeling rather lazy.

And go.

To everyone on the 1st and 2st floors of the Hamartia, I'm really sorry about the sudden increase in beer in the hallway and dripping down through the ceiling. We were brewing our own beer and everything was going fine until the tub exploded. I'm still trying to figure out how this happened, because I was really careful about filling it to make sure it didn't do it. I had it filled straight to the brim so there was no way it could expand or anything. I'm gonna figure out what happened so next time it doesn't explode. But in the meantime, enjoy the free beer and let us know how it tastes.

Does anyone want to come over and cook for hang out with me? I came home after practice to a post-it on the refrigerator. It looks like my roomie’s gonna be working late and I’m hungry as all fucking hell. There’s food and everything here so we can pig out in front of the TV or something you just have to make it, first. Food, television and Dottie, I promise it really doesn’t get much better than that!

PS. I am not above making sad faces at you all until someone agrees to come over!

Nice little forum you guys have going here. I'm Teddy and I'm new to the area, but I'm already enjoying myself. Seattle has some annoying interesting parties. I'm glad I let my sister drag me to the masquerade last night, even if I'm now convinced there was something in the water other than alcohol and fruit juice.

Oh and to the ugly duckling swan: thanks for the dance and I hope your dress isn't completely ruined.
