I'm going to be out of Gotham for a few weeks. Mac's dead ~~and I think I'm a necromancer now?~~ and I'm being trained. For. Things.

[Private to Muerte]

Do robots have- could you feel her spirit leave?

[bats, hal, sara, donna, supes seperately]

Hey, my mother box died. I won't be in the door for a while. I know it's been quiet, so hopefully Cthulhu won't rise while I'm gone.

	She was happy? Thank you. She saved my life so many times. [He draws a spiral.] I [dot.] left. I'm in a different door. They're not letting me leave until Halloween is over on account that I need to be trained in spirit wrangling. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She was content. Fulfilled. [She wonders if she should say more, another tap of pen.] She loved you, in her way. [...] That's over a month. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Muerte / Eddie riddlethem 2014-09-29 03:23 pm UTC (link)
	[Another spiral that slowly turns into a question mark.] I needed to hear that, thank you. I shouldn't have been so reckless with her. I should have been better. Jack's not here, so it's an all hands on deck kind of situation. [Dot.] I'd leave if I could. I only wanted to learn, but they haven't seen anyone like me in a while.

	[It takes a moment, but then tiny ink dots march their way along the inside edge of the spiral and down along the body of the question mark.] Did you know what would happen? Are you going to be alright there? [...] Is everything else going to be alright with you there? [Then a longer pause, eyebrow lifting though he can't see it.] Anyone like you?

	Re: Muerte / Eddie riddlethem 2014-09-29 03:39 pm UTC (link)
	No, but we all know that the doors are unpredictable. If I can talk Stephanie into staying here with me. Even if it's for a week. And, I think [dot] I think so. [dotdot dot dot] There hasn't been anything going on in our door, maybe it'll stay quiet? [dot dot dot.] No, you've been kind and this will just give you a headache. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Muerte / Eddie soundofwings 2014-09-29 03:45 pm UTC (link)
	Unpredictable, yes. But in a way that you didn't know something like that could happen. You've gone to other doors before and she'd been fine. If you can, try to be kind to yourself about this. Good luck. And I'll hope for quiet, then. Come on, Eddie, don't just dot at me. And I'm incorporeal at the moment - no head to headache. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She connects lines between the dots. It takes her a long minute. She's thinking. It's a while before she stops and writes.] Well that's going to be a challenge. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Muerte / Eddie riddlethem 2014-09-29 04:01 pm UTC (link)
	Personally, I think I'll be okay. I used to dream up dead people, so why not actually have incorporeal spirits bothering me all damned day? [Dot.] The difficult part, and I'm sure you'll agree, is how it will manifest in our door. I want to get a handle on it before I accidentally summon some headless politicians in the middle of town.

	Re: Muerte / Eddie soundofwings 2014-09-29 04:05 pm UTC (link)
	Gotham can be [...] more complicated. Just in general. [Another pause. A tap-dot of her own.] Yeah, they're around. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Muerte / Eddie riddlethem 2014-09-29 04:09 pm UTC (link)
	Gotham was built on bones. Even before all this, I could hear ghosts in Arkham. [Thinking pause.] I don't want to cause them any more pain than they've already been through. The witches here told me there's some spirits that can't be put to rest no matter how many nice favors you try to do for them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Muerte / Eddie riddlethem 2014-09-29 04:16 pm UTC (link)
	There's good. Hidden under all that, there's good. Though, I might just be saying that because I'm sitting on a fountain spewing green ooze. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Muerte / Eddie soundofwings 2014-09-29 04:25 pm UTC (link)
	I'm not saying there's not. But a lot of energy lingers. It's not something I usually tell people. You know everyone's poor track record with green ooze. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Muerte / Eddie riddlethem 2014-09-30 01:44 am UTC (link)
	I know. [Dot.] Maybe I shouldn't even come back to Gotham. Maybe it'll drive me mad. I think this is just ooze, thank goodness. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Muerte / Eddie soundofwings 2014-09-30 02:37 am UTC (link)
	Come back when you can. If it is too much, we can get you out of the city before it gets too bad for you. And yet you take the chance. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Muerte / Eddie riddlethem 2014-09-30 04:16 am UTC (link)
	Okay. Good plan. [Dot, dot, swirl.] If I have the reaper on my side, I should at least get out of there alive. Double dare me to eat it and I will. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Muerte / Eddie soundofwings 2014-09-30 04:27 am UTC (link)
	You're not dying yet, Eddie. [A longer pause, like she's really not sure what to say. Or at least how to put it.] are you going to be okay there? Serious, no fucking around with the question. Are you? [...] I am not daring you to eat ooze. Stay away from the ooze. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Muerte / Eddie riddlethem 2014-09-30 04:33 am UTC (link)
	[Dots.] I like having a challenge and this [dot.] this is the biggest challenge I've ever faced. [Dots.] It's lonely here, but it was lonely in Gotham, so maybe it's just me. Too late. [Dot, dotdot.] Oh, it's fine. It just tastes like swamp apples. Who hasn't had those? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[...] That's not quite answering the question, I don't think, but maybe I'll just leave it there for now. [...] I've seen all sorts of people get though things like this, you know. Hang on tight. [Pause, pause, tap tap of pen.] Statement? Or request for company? Is Stephanie going to try, do you think?

[Facepalm.] I can't believe you ate random ooze. Wait, no, I believe it. I just hoped you wouldn't.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Muerte / Eddie riddlethem 2014-09-30 04:52 am UTC (link)
	Statement. I don't think you can come here. They wouldn't let you leave. Especially after all the horrifying stories I told them about SANTA MUERRTEE. [Dot.] I have no idea if Stephanie is going to show up. We're in a terrible place right now. Well, I'd hate to disappoint. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Muerte / Eddie soundofwings 2014-09-30 05:00 am UTC (link)
	I cringe to imagine. [...] I'm sorry. Can you maybe try for a way that doesn't include the continued eating of strange oozes? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Muerte / Eddie riddlethem 2014-09-30 05:04 am UTC (link)
	I told them you wear facepaint all the time with the traditional dress and dead flowers in your hair. So, if you do visit, you'll have to go all out. [Dot.] It is what it is. I'll keep my sticky fingers out of any strange oozes I see in the future. Scout's honor. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

You do realize I could manage more than just that, right? I just tend to not want to break anyone's brains. [Nothing on the other topic. At first.]

Oh how I doubt you, Eddie. Oh how I doubt.

[And then, after a longer pause.] You know, I want to ask if you need anything, to talk or rant or that type of thing. I want to be supportive. But I don't know that I'm the right person for that. For this.

I told them once you turned a man into a taco.

[If dots could be pleased.] You're right, I'd be a terrible boyscout.

[After a pause.] I know. And, I appreciate it. Frankly, there's nothing- I don't think I have anything to say about it. I'm just sad everything is falling apart for me after all the work we put into it. [Dot.] I just need someone to tell me I'm going to be okay.
