Well, alright, so I've got to admit I haven't a clue what you lot are talking about most of the time but I at least get the point that I've moved into some kind of alternate dimension. One where the lift malfunctions and Casper the friendly ghost rearranges what little furniture I've got.

That said, there's a fantastic bakery 'round the bend. One I wandered into and will now be the death of me, or the cause of me becoming the latest on 'My 600-lb Life.' No regrets.

I'll take any used book shoppe or bar recommendations if you've got them though? I used to tend bar, in fact, so it'll be nice to be on the other side of things. Thanks in advance - I'm James, by the by. Moved to the States some time ago, form Ireland. Why do Americans turn their beer green for St. Patrick's Day? Never understood that one.

	sooo how familiar are you with stephen king's body of work? bc the best way i can describe this place is if the overlook hotel and rose red had a baby. possibly during a threesome with the hotel california. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I'd say moderately familiar. Enough to know that sounds utterly terrifying. There are no clowns as the embodiment of all evil though, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	literallyhorny 2017-10-11 06:14 pm UTC (link)
	not that i have noticed ~~if we're talking embodiment of evil i'm p sure that's me~~. that said, if pennywise shows up i'm outta here. i'm not scared of clowns but fuck that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	arcane 2017-10-11 06:17 pm UTC (link)
	At least there's that. But no, I understand your reluctance to live amongst clowns regardless. I don't know anyone who actually enjoys clowns. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	idc one way or the other, altho i will admit i admire whatever magic is behind their lack of make-up melting off they face in the ring. or w/e you call that area in a circus clowns perform in. ..i think i just set a record for derailing a topic. sorry about that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	arcane 2017-10-11 06:26 pm UTC (link)
	No, it's quite alright, you got me curious so I used the Google. That makeup is really greasepaint. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~are you middle aged or something?~~ i feel like an idiot for not thinking of that. i used to run around with theater people ffs. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You learn something new everyday. Perhaps they just didn't take many roles which required clown paint? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	literallyhorny 2017-10-11 07:56 pm UTC (link)
	prolly. closest thing to clowns i remember was rocky horror and that's.. not really close at all. my name's vinnie, btw. in case you wanted to know what to call the ditz of doom. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	arcane 2017-10-11 08:00 pm UTC (link)
	Nice to meet you, Vinnie. James, as stated above. How long have you been here in the Outlook Hotel California? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	siiince april. i threw my life in my truck and moved here from nyc. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I basically did the same thing. Fun, innit? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tbh i am enjoying being able to breathe without coughing. apparently i'm allergic to concrete jungles, who knew? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	arcane 2017-10-11 08:19 pm UTC (link)
	Ah, yes. The mountains and sea breeze tend to trap smog here. New York not so much. Though the downside might be that this state is on fire a lot more often. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	yeah that's actually low-key terrifying. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nah you're cool. i knew that before, its just one of those things that you keep in the back of your head, yanno? besides my movie collection is like 70% horror. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	arcane 2017-10-12 10:31 am UTC (link)
	Oh, is it? I need to build up my film collection, it's tragic at the moment. Which horror films do you recommend? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

ok so, if you can stand zombies at all you need to watch romero's (rip, hope he claws his way up soon) entire catalog, and i'm not just saying that because we share a name.

other than that, i'm gonna need a lil more information about your tastes. are more interested in slasher films, monster movies, vampire movies (totally different)? and do you like cgi and jumpscares or more practical effects and general creepiness?

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	arcane 2017-10-13 03:10 pm UTC (link)
	I'd say more practicality and general creepiness. Bonus for psychological thrillers. I'm a psychiatrist, hence the affinity. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	literallyhorny 2017-10-17 12:29 pm UTC (link)
	ok so no silence of the lambs. def the thing and the others. what are your feelings on black and white and/or silent films? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	arcane 2017-10-17 12:45 pm UTC (link)
	My feelings about those are positive. They just don't make them that way anymore, aye? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Welcome to the building?; it seems you've joined us at a...strange time. I hope you don't let that color your impression of everyone? It really is a lovely place we have here ~~when it's not making us feel like we're insane~~. I'm Isobel, in 105. If you need anything, let me know! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Re: 105 arcane 2017-10-12 10:50 pm UTC (link)
	A pleasure, Isobel. I haven't met many people yet but of the ones I have most were friendly, so my perception's pretty positive-coloured. And thanks for the offer. How long have you been here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	$Isobel Brandt \\ Persephone: wading through moments we have left$ Re: 105 praxidike 2017-10-13 08:01 pm UTC (link)
	Since February. It's been... an experience. Hopefully your stay is less eventful ~~though that seems doubtful at this point~~. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: 105 arcane 2017-10-13 08:12 pm UTC (link)
	I did notice the full stop there, my dear. Seems quite ominous. Though I've got to say, it's already been somewhat eventful. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	FRESSSSSSSSHHHHH BLOOOOOOOOOOD??????? Oh maN, are you IN for it, but I see Vinnie's already rolled out the welcome mat. Vinnie, we should make you, like, the official greeter or something. Maybe or something. BB, by the way. Like the gun, not the droid. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Re: 207 arcane 2017-10-12 10:52 pm UTC (link)
	Got me a bit gobsmacked there, love, but I appreciate the enthusiasm. In for what, exactly? I would have guessed the gun, I'm not sure what a 'droid' is. BB, that's a nice name though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: 207 eristic 2017-10-13 08:02 pm UTC (link)
	In for everything, but not like prison. Well, actually, maybe just like prison, fuck. THANK YOU, you must know compliments get you everywhere. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: 207 arcane 2017-10-13 08:15 pm UTC (link)
	I've never been to prison, so I'll take your word for it. And so you think people generally don't renew their leases then, or? Good to know. We're neighbours, I see, so feel free to pop by for tea sometime. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	literallyhorny 2017-10-13 02:58 pm UTC (link)
	considering you make it sound like we're sacrificing him, maybe i should be the official greeter. oh but bb, why not after the droid? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	eristic 2017-10-13 08:02 pm UTC (link)
	*dude* maybe we should sacrifice him, maybe that'll get the building to STFU because I'm sick and tired of the Star Wars references; I don't even LIKE those films!!!!!!!! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	BB NO but bb hitting someone with a plastic lightsaber is fun!!! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I think we just like changing it up a bit from holiday to holiday; we should start a petition to change beer to blue for Christmas. Any takers? Anyway, I have a couple of places that I've been hitting up regularly when writer's block just won't go away. I'd be happy to show you around, if you like! I'm Gabe, in 801. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Re: 801 arcane 2017-10-12 10:53 pm UTC (link)
	I'm all for changing beer to blue for the holiday season. Silver and blue ought to be utilised more around that time of year anyway, than green and red. That would be great, thanks a bunch. Well met, Gabe - you're a writer? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: 801 xochipilli 2017-10-13 08:04 pm UTC (link)
	That I am, though more of screen than anything you might find in a store. I do have a couple things that're in B&N now, and some other things that are in the works. What do you do to keep the lights on? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: 801 arcane 2017-10-13 08:16 pm UTC (link)
	That must keep you busy. I imagine screenwriting is a lot different than being a novelist? Me, I'm a psychiatrist. Hoping to get back into it, anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent)
