Avram - 4:12pm
Okay, two things I'd like to maybe discuss a little here.
First of all, from what I gather from the network posts today, I'm not the only one who's seen and heard things, so that's likely a house-wide thing. Not hard to believe, because They've done this before. The magpie rhyme, the notebook from Lana's room, the creepy toys, and the spray-paint on the hospital. Recording and replaying my father's cries for help was pretty shitty too. They've been asking about our childhoods a lot lately and attempting to make us conform to whatever Their idea of happy childhood fun is. So obviously, yes, They're trying to bother us, but I find this particular aesthetic choice interesting. I guess I'm just putting my Seinfeld blazer on to ask "What's the deal with the ghost story theme?" Does it mean anything? Do They think we'll start believing in ghosts? The standard answer is probably "They're just trying to scare us" but like...lots of things are scary! They had a lot of options, and this was the choice that made the cut. The magpie business especially is elaborate and specific, but the majority of us don't even come from places where magpies usually live, so it's not like it's playing on our own associations and memories. It should mean something.
I don't know what that is, I'm just wondering if other people have thoughts.
Second, completely different subject, but for those who've been to the hardware store since the restocking: very thin steel wire, a light gauge but hopefully as high-tensile as is practical, is that a thing they have there?
(I am, of course, assuming that they'll let us out as soon as they're done renovating out there or whatever the fuck. Maybe they're putting in an H&M or some shit.)
