Those are the new I Scream flavors for June. I am ALWAYS looking for new ideas to taste test and also taste testers to experiment on. Let the flavors flow people! You can even whisper if you need to. I am listening!

Also, I just got in some wonderful new awesome things in the shop, Including these Vintage Horror Movie Tarot by a local artist! I'm in love with it. There are a few decks left, and come in full packs or just the major arcana. It's not too late!

Let me know if you are interested in a consignment of any handmade products that you think would do well with our spooky clientele.

To my Thursday group! We start a new campaign this week. Come with your character sheets already filled out. If you are interested in joining The Excelsior Thursday night RPG let me know. There's always ice cream and lots of laughs to be had.

If that woman across the hedgerow continues to talk to me I'm going to hex her hair off.

Today's card is a doozy. Say hello to The Devil, Reposians.

There is no finessing card #15, The Devil. It is not a good thing to get this card in your reading, with the exception that it may be the confirmation you need to end a dysfunctional relationship. The core of this card is a negative relationship that you have with someone or something. Getting the devil card in your reading shows that you have feelings of entrapment, emptiness and lack of fulfillment in your life. It might also mean that you are a slave to materialism and opulence and no matter how hard you try, you just can’t seem to shake off the feeling of wanting to indulge in luxurious living.

You might be aware that this kind of lifestyle is leading you down the rabbit hole, but you have that feeling of not having any form of control over your actions or urges.

Addiction to substances or material pleasures can also be the reason for your feelings of powerlessness and entrapment. In situations such as these, you may feel as though you are a slave, unable to control your impulses or willpower to direct yourself towards something other than the satisfaction of these desires.

Lust and temptation are symbolized by the Devil in a love tarot reading. There can be a sense of hedonism, and a selfish desire for gratification with this card. In less serious circumstances, it can also just simply mean a pursuit for all of life’s earthly pleasures. There is nothing wrong in having a bit of fun, but make sure that you are not hurting others or giving them wrong impressions when you do. If you’re only looking for hook-ups, it is up to you to communicate that with your dates. Make sure you avoid pressuring others if they decide your lifestyle isn’t something that suits them. Communication will be more important than ever now.

Mat and I are starting a coven. Want in?

Who: Caspar Andrews and Hazel Hawthorne
What: Late night wine sharing on a dock of the lake, a little life siphoning for dessert.
When: The time-fuzz is real. Recently, but also slightly before. Slightly before what? Anything you want.
Where: Lake side.
Ratings/Warnings: PG-13 with language.

( It wasn’t a kiss made for softness and first times. She wasn’t some locked away maiden in a tower. She was the witch. )

[Very late at night. Departing from this visual encounter & quite frankly, too weary & indolent with her cohort; they don't want to walk back.]

[Riiiiiiiiiiingtone.]

Is anyone hiring?


( [Phone Call to Matilda M] )

i’m ready to purchase a lakeside haunted mansion, clutch my forehead and faint a lot on chaises, and live like an undersexed Bronte sister by myself in the materialized version of every gothic fiction novel I’ve ever spanked it to.

so, boys & ghouls, I’d like a realtor or location recommendation. preferably a female realtor, since men are terrible at financial mathematics.

WHO: Hugh Christian, Zee Larsen, guests, and anyone else who wants to wander in.
WHEN: This Weekend-ish
WHERE: Hugh's mansion, Lakeside.
SUMMARY: Hugh promised Zee he'd throw a party and let her meet her friends, and neighbors, and their friends, so it's a giant house party with food, and mingling, and dancing if you want to.
NOTE: All details under the cut; I've made organization starter threads, but please put warnings, specific locations, and names/opens in your subjects! Feel free to have as many people in the thread as you want. You can dibs open threads, and feel free to jump into multiple threads in the post. Tag the post when you join. Yes, the door will be open, so if you want your character to join in, pop them in.

( Zee, welcome to Repose )

hmu if you want to hate each other and be enemies

(The only rule is that you must must must not ever ever ever have better hair.)

( Mailed to: All Lakeside Mansion residents (hi neighbors); as well as Dietre A, Janus A, Leena B, Fiach B, Aedan B, Audrey C, Diego C, Eames, Christina F, Marta F, Rafe Jiménez, Harlow J, Billy K, Atticus M, Matilda M, Holly & Noah NW, Mal R, Mao S, Hannah S, Rey S, Clover W, Alex W, Dante Z )

[She didn't want to pick up their calls ever again, but whatever. After getting fed up with accumulating 99 unread texts, missed calls, FaceTimes (what reprobate even does that without warning somebody?) over the course of a few days, Mat finally decides to answer their call. Outside, any virginal-eared ambler on Main might've heard 'WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT FROM ME?!' roaring from beyond the four-paneled glass of her apartment window. The oldhag witchfrenemy ultimately informed her of a certain, magically inclined girl kinda needing help being untrapped from a prisonic mansion situation. You could just show up, Mat. If you want. I know you like surprises, her perfectly right ass had said, but... I think I might text her first, got her number? Mat had deferred .... leaving out the fact that the first name and last initial was actually familiar. From, uhhh... trolling the public boards of the town.]

[TEXT:]

now that i see everyone else's life is going haywire with first person moodfucks...

while i await season 2 of hot boy sex, THIS SONG goes out to the owner of season 1.

This town is still a fucking cursed cesspool. And whoever had the job of watching people being tortured and murdered, my condolences but fuck your memories.

What's the B&B like?

Let's see. Today's Tarot card is The Five of Wands.

The image on the face of the Five of Wands is one of the most straightforward in the Tarot. Although there is always room for interpretation, the five men depicted on the card are obviously in conflict.Their raised wands are not being used as weapons but are stopping them from moving forward as they clash with one another.

When this card appears upright in a reading, it calls attention to disharmony in your life. You may be engaged in mental or physical warfare with those around you. This condition brings up feelings of contempt and anger in all those involved in the fighting.

So in essence this is the ultimate conflict card. Everyone is shouting and wanting to be heard, and there are so many different opinions being thrown about. But no-one is listening. It leads to a total break-down of communication and no forward movement without people lowering their guard.

Thanks for coming to my TED (Tarot Education Divinity) Talk.

So, a town BBS? This is super 1999. Anyone have an AOL free trial disk I can use?

[After this.]

Do they walk the streets of the town? Dread and fear fill the streets with stinking death.

Where are the Nat Sherman’s here in Green Acres? Black and gold’s, Fantasia’s?

John & Kate +8 who own the hovel at the corner of gutter and haunted bookstore, don’t carry them. And I don’t feel like taking the scenic byway in an Uber with Freddy Krueger again, all the way to the capitol. He makes me want to vault out of his murky ford taurus, but this was a full-foil balayage, you understand.

XOXO
