( He'd offered. )

Well. It appears receiving clock parts has become a common occurrence. I've yet to see anyone mention getting a brown clock, but I have to assume there are others out there who have?

How against parties is this town?

Asking for a friend.

If only the beauty of spring would continue on through summer minus the miserable heat. I am not looking forward to it. Aside from that, well… I won’t jinx myself by saying anything more than life is relatively decent.

I have not posted anything in a while, so I thought I’d share something a little different than my usual.

Out of the mid-wood's twilight
Into the meadow's dawn,
Ivory limbed and brown-eyed,
Flashes my Faun!

He skips through the copses singing,
And his shadow dances along,
And I know not which I should follow,
Shadow or song!

O Hunter, snare me his shadow!
O Nightingale, catch me his strain!
Else moonstruck with music and madness
I track him in vain!

- Oscar Wilde

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.

( 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.]

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.

[Locked to Rey S]
Hi. We talked on a roof. Do you remember?

[Locked to Dante Z]
Hi.

[Locked to Caspar A]
I'm sorry.

[Public]

I think I prefer to only know what I've asked for.

Owner just walked in, looked at me, said "10% off all drinks today" and then walked out. So. Enjoy Repose.

[Audrey C.]

Maybe we'll get lucky and we'll put the extra 10% into tips.

Also, it's Fleetwood Mac day.

[Adrian M.]

Hey.

What: Memory
Will characters be viewing the memory or experiencing it?: Experiencing
Warning, this memory contains: Violence, vague themes.

( Little paper blue and white cups )

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

[Locked to Caspar A.]

Is there a preferred time that I may meet with you about the position in your restaurant? I assume there will be some sort of audition type process?

It would appear that we have a new resident by the lakeside. Welcome, whoever you are.

[Marta F]

I feel like half our relationship is now quarterly check in's. How are you doing, Marta?

[Hugh M]

This is where I pretend that I am at all good at reaching out to people and say hello. I hope your days have been well?

Hi. I am looking for an apartment, well, Hannah and I are. If there are any openings or someone looking for roommates I'd really appreciate any leads or suggestions. Thank you.

Fuck this stupid ass town and its stupid mansions.

It was not Death, for I stood up,
And all the Dead, lie down -
It was not Night, for all the Bells
Put out their Tongues, for Noon.

It was not Frost, for on my Flesh
I felt Siroccos - crawl -
Nor Fire - for just my marble feet
Could keep a Chancel, cool -

And yet, it tasted, like them all,
The Figures I have seen
Set orderly, for Burial
Reminded me, of mine -

As if my life were shaven,
And fitted to a frame,
And could not breathe without a key,
And ’twas like Midnight, some -

When everything that ticked - has stopped -
And space stares - all around -
Or Grisly frosts - first Autumn morns,
Repeal the Beating Ground -

But most, like Chaos - Stopless - cool -
Without a Chance, or spar -
Or even a Report of Land -
To justify - Despair.

-Emily Dickinson
