Re: quicklog: spooky times with Claire J/Leo B
What happens when it doesn't work? Does she just keep going until there's nothing left? Suicide explained by mental illness? [He was sent in to debunk the possessed, not follow up on them, but he figured it never ended pretty. Did demons want to take out as many people as they could before exploding or just bury a girl's heart as far down in the ground that people forgot it fucking mattered?] So what happens if the boy wants a demon as his new bestie? [He liked the weird religious stuff, too.]
[He opened his eyes and smiled back at her. Leo was aware this was bad for his #Brand, but whatever. His sister Sam would have told him to find happy in just about any second he could manage.
Leo followed her back to the front door, shrugging his shoulders.] Honestly, if there was a mansion it probably burned down. Almost everything in Japan has burned down. Maybe shitty things happen to people in the forest where it used to be. [He was still skeptical, but he had to admit there was still a possibility.] Helpful, but still kind of a dick move. Like when someone pronounces a word wrong and you're the asshole who corrects them.
[He tossed his keys in the air, caught them and took a sip of his coffee. They were on the case, even if it was a spooky one, and that always made him feel good. Like he was in a groove he was built to be in.] So, it's a concrete building. Not bigger than a shed, with windows that got kicked out years ago and graffiti everywhere. When I got there, I was alone. Then, suddenly I wasn't. You know how a gross gas station bathroom makes you feel? I got that vibe and then suddenly there were dudes there. [He started the car and started driving towards the forest.] One of them told me I shouldn't be there and I got this feeling like I was about to be in some deep shit if I stuck around, so I ran away.
