[pm] It’s really nice of you to offer.

Oh, well, I took a sheet big enough that I couldn’t make it invisible with me and drapd it over myself, then ‘floated’ in the direction of an unsuspecting friend after, like, creaking open a dor and rattling a lamp and flickering some lights by tugging at the socket. He was actually scared for a sec, until I felt bad and started making ridiculous ghostly noises so he’d know it was me. I feel like that routine has potential, though. It’s cliche enough to be unsettling in that extra ‘wait, this can’t be real, right? …right? shit’ way. You know what I mean?

He’s fine now, thank you. Just had issues with phone access for a bit. Nothing serious, thank god.

[pm] :)

Ha! That sounds great. I’ll admit, as much as I love being a bugbear, it would be pretty cool to be able to turn invisible.

Oh, that’s good. I’m glad he’s okay.

There’s a theory out there that Jack the Ripper and H.H. Holmes are the same man. But, if you personally ask me, the evidence they used to support their claims weren’t substantial enough and wouldn’t likely hold up in court. Their theory, by default, is naturally very unconvincing.

[lainie-the-bugbear]

Ooooh, Jack the Ripper? Wasn’t he the serial killer with magic shoes?

[quiteashocker]

…. Pizza, actually. I didn’t know oranges caught on fire if put in a microwave.

[lainie-the-bugbear]

Oh, they don’t. They just explode.

So pizza, huh? That’s weird. Was it wrapped in aluminum or something?

[cunning-zeke]

Can’t have that.

[lainie-the-bugbear]

I know, right? It would be awful.

[lainie-the-bugbear]

Did you put an orange in it? Or a box of raisins?

[quiteashocker]

I set my microwave on fire. 

My microwave caught on fire. Must be defective.

[lainie-the-bugbear]

Did you put an orange in it? Or a box of raisins?

[cunning-zeke]

I guess they wouldn’t. 

[lainie-the-bugbear]

Yeah! I mean, why would someone that’s dead need to sleep? Plus, it would cut into their Braaaiiiin hunting time.

Question - keeping all the phone numbers people drunkenly give you at the bar in a drawer is fucked up, right?

[lainie-the-bugbear]

You should prank call them.

[lainie-the-bugbear]

Don’t be ridiculous.

Zombies don’t need sleep.

[cunning-zeke]

It normal for the whole town to be all zombie-sleep deprived?

[lainie-the-bugbear]

Don’t be ridiculous.

Zombies don’t need sleep.

[melody-douglas-aikens]

I swear I need a vacation. I might be going stir crazy in this town!

[lainie-the-bugbear]

Ugh. I know how you feel. Is it summer break yet?

[jolyondesai-deactivated20160603]

Are you serious? I swear that place deliberately hires people who can’t hear or just likes to mess with people because there’s no way they can get the names wrong. How do they get it wrong when we are spelling it for them? It just doesn’t make any sense.

Tells you to never try it again next time and please have more control. It’s bad to destroy your taste buds but it’s worse to upset your stomach.

Ah, I see. Well, I would suggest water or apple juice but that doesn’t seem like the type of liquid you would prefer, is it? 

[lainie-the-bugbear]

I bet that they do! It really doesn’t make sense! They’re probably trolling -- like, in a kind of boring and uninspired way.

I really don’t think soup coffee is bad enough to destroy my taste buds. I’ve eaten way weirder.

Water is okay. So is juice.

OOC Notice

Hey guys, I’m sorry for the short notice, but I’ll be on semi-hiatus until May 7th.

[coverthekeyholes-blog]

[pm] That’s really considerate of you. And… I guess I can’t blame her? Honestly, I’ve seen firsthand how startling it can get. It sounds kind of rude. I mean… I have a lot of fun with that sometimes, I pretended to be an actual sheet ghost once, but I wouldn’t do it to someone who wasn’t used to it and knew what to expect.

I’m fine. I wasn’t there, and the people I know who could have been there mostly check out so far, I think. But there’s one person I can’t get a hold of and… I don’t know. I mean, he’s the uber serious type who would never leave a message unread or unanswered in a crisis. Either he’s having an ‘episode’ somewhere and can’t get to his phone, or he’s d

[lainie-the-bugbear]

[pm] I try :) And I don’t really blame her either. I think that my mom would like you, though, so if you ever do want to come over just let me know first. 

But oh my gosh, you have to tell me the story behind this sheet ghost. I must know!

Oh, that’s good. I hope your friend is okay; who is he? Is there anything I can do to help?

[lainie-the-bugbear]

People are buying you... glassware? That’s really weird. Are they at least matching sets?

[veronicatheslayer]

To whomever continues to send me glassware anonymously, I’m not sure what you’re trying to do, but I appreciate it? It is a bit weird

You can stop now. Thank you.
