Curiosity Killed the Cat

When faced with a conundrum which cannot be solved, always take the most obvious solution even at the risk of great personal sacrifice. Julius Foster. 38 years old. Deceased. This is a role play blog and not associated with Jude Law.

[She smiled at his laugh, the lightness to it contradicting the energy that surrounded them.] Well if you plan on dropping dead let me know, I did take CPR once or twice in highschool.

[Relishing in his hold she allowed herself to be led, the noise from the hall all consuming as they made their way through.] To be honest I’m not quite sure…it was like my mind was on autopilot. Something in here pulled me towards it.

[juliusfostermg]

See, that scares me, Jade. That scares me a lot, and I'm dead. What the hell can it do to me? Something about this seems really wrong though. What's the worst thing you can. . . imagine. . . happening to us? 

On second thought. . . don't.

[jade-cameron-deactivated2014112]

[She laughs but the noise is cut short as Julius jerks before her, Jade’s grip tightens as he pulls her close.] Teleportation would come in handy now wouldn’t it? Although a little adventure never hurt anyone…Are you okay?

[juliusfostermg]

I think I just had a heart attack, that's all. [Julius laughs at his own joke, then pulls Jade tighter.] Come on, I think the exit might be over this way. How did you wind up in the hall of mirrors, anyway?

[jade-cameron-deactivated2014112]

You should see it from my end, I mean…the energy here it’s…it’s distracting to say the least.

[juliusfostermg]

I don't think that I'd want to. [Julius stops and looks around. In every direction is a reflection of him and Jade, with no sign of an exit. Somebody bumps into him from behind, and he jumps, clinging to Jade as much as she is clinging to him.] Why didn't death give me powers of teleportation?

[jade-cameron-deactivated2014112]

[Her hand reaches out instinctively to him, tightening around him] You say that as if I mean too [with a worried smile she nods allowing him to lead the way.]

[juliusfostermg]

I don't think any of us meant to. This place is pretty creepy, Jade. 

[jade-cameron-deactivated2014112]

[Trapped in one of the many tents she shakes slightly the energy that buzzed around her too much for the seer’s underused senses as she tries her hardest to concentrate. To get herself out.]

[juliusfostermg]

How do you get yourself into these situations? [Julius tuts his tongue and reaches for Jade's elbow to pull her in to him.] This place is a heck of a lot less scary if you can't see the reflections in all those mirrors. Shit, Jade. Let's get out of here.

[thefrankiefoss]

What? Do I have something on my face?

[juliusfostermg]

Oh. Uh, no. I was just thinking how unusual it was that you were wearing sunglasses indoors. It draws attention to you, you know. People are, um. Staring.

Hot Diggity Dog | Open

[miss-maggie-jones]

Maggie offered a kind smile. "I suppose the mystery and the thrill is exciting. Nice to see positive and fun things like this showing up in Bentley." She cast her eyes downward and shifted the boy in her arms. "It’s nice to see you again. Did you find another good book?" Calvin fidgeted uncomfortably in her arms, forcing her to adjust her hold on him again. "He’s a little out of sorts, I’m sorry. Calvin, say hello, don’t be rude." The boy uttered a shy greeting and proceeded to bury his face in the crook of her neck.

"Walk with us, won’t you? We could go through the hall of mirrors. That’d be fun, wouldn’t it," she tried to pique Calvin’s interest, but he still said nothing and passed his hotdog to her. They strolled along casually for a short while before she spoke again. "I think this is the first time I’ve ever been to a circus. We never went when I was a child. My mother thought they were barbaric." Maggie laughed a little, nibbling a few bites of her food, although she wasn’t all that hungry.

[juliusfostermg]

Julius winced. "Barbaric" was probably precisely the right word for what the circus was. All manner of freaks arrived in these places, lined up and put on display for everyone to ogle at. It didn't surprise him that the child was squirmy and restless. Something about this place made his hair stand on end, and he was the type of person who made most people nervous as it was. 

Shaking that off, he smiled to Calvin. "I'll go with you. It'll be fun. You ever wanted to be tall? The hall of mirrors can make you very tall!"

Hot Diggity Dog | Open

They were going to stay in Manhattan with her brother for a few days. That was the plan, at least until she could figure something out. She’d spent the entirety of Friday playing phone tag with a realtor who tried to convince her out of selling the house, but she wouldn’t listen to it. She had the door replaced and a sliding lock placed on the top of the door. It might not do anything, but she was trying to let it be a comfort that at least Calvin couldn’t get down there on his own. He’d been quiet the last day or so, and fearful. He wouldn’t go to bed unless she sat with him until he fell asleep.

The circus, although not her favorite idea, seemed ideal if only to wash out some of the trauma from his mind. Naturally he wanted to go on a few rides, but they compromised agreeing to the kiddie ones where she could keep a close eye on him. Hungry, both of them ventured off in search for a hot dog and found them easily, but the stand was fairly busy. She hoisted the boy up onto her hip and reached  for one of their order, passing it to Calvin before another was served up. She reached for it and her hand touched with someone else’s. "Oh, sorry, go ahead I think that’s yours anyway," she offered a kind smile.

[juliusfostermg]

"We meet again," Julius said with a smile as he let his hand rest heavy on Calvin's head and waved off the offer to take the hot dog. "It's yours," he assured her. "One might say that I'm just a bit over-eager today. Something about this place makes me feel..." He stopped, because the child was there, because he worried about spooking him. "Like a child again," he lied, his eyes catching with Maggie's knowingly.

Sometimes it’s hard to believe that people as stupid even exist.  I mean come on.  Seriously what the fuck was he thinking…

[juliusfostermg]

Probably the same thing that you are. Most people think the rest of the world is beneath them, don't you think?

[fuckingangela2]

Wait, how cute, you’re like a real life forty year old virgin!

[juliusfostermg]

Well, death sort of put a damper on sex.

That and the fact that women are terrified when I take my clothes off.

[fuckingangela2]

A coroner? For a doctor who practiced on corpses in life, you seem to have a strange fascination with the medical aspects of the vagina. Ever fucked a dead chick?

Misuse of a scalpel? Shit, man, you can’t just leave me hanging. That’s a story I’ve gotta hear. [She squints at the headstone he had been standing in front of minutes before.] Dr. Foster.

[juliusfostermg]

I've never fucked anyone, to use your vulgar terminology.

[fuckingangela2]

It’s twat, pussy, or cunt. Take your pick. What kind of doctor were you, anyway?

I can’t tell if you’re trying to come onto me or not. Either way, you’re wrong. Dead years don’t count. Sometimes I wish they did, but I’ve discovered that I will always be a seventeen year old girl on the inside.

[juliusfostermg]

I don't believe those are official medical terms. [he squints at the headstone.] Angela. 

I am a doctor. A coroner. Just presently not.. licensed to practice in the state of New York on account of my misuse of a scalpel.

[aprilwinslows-blog]

Aw, I’m quite sure you’ll be just fine. See, I’m a master of this stuff, so I can just as easily help you. My arm’s right here for balance. Do you trust me?

[juliusfostermg]

Well I don't know you all that well, but we can give it a shot at trust, can't we? 

[jade-cameron-deactivated2014112]

[Gripping tight to his shoulders she laughed] I’m going to kill you!

[juliusfostermg]

Too late, I got there first.

[cassiusknight]

… You could’ve just gotten a free haircut at the college over there.

[juliusfostermg]

They cut it for free?

I see you haven't taken them up on that offer. Could they possibly make it worse than I did?

[fuckingangela2]

My mom’s hairy twat, I’d assume. Jesus, can’t a girl visit her own grave in peace?

[juliusfostermg]

You're talking medicine with a doctor now. I don't believe "twat" is the socially acceptable term for the vagina, but then, maybe times have changed since I was practicing medicine. 

Besides, I was visiting my own grave, if you please. Is this one yours? Look, it looks as though you're not much younger than I am. Isn't it fascinating?

[jade-cameron-deactivated2014112]

[Flails] Oh my! P-Put me down!

[juliusfostermg]

It's me! It's just me, Jade. See?

Figuratively speaking, that is.
