If anyone doubts what an adrenaline rush can do for you I ran home from the bus terminal when I got off from work.

[runningwhispers]

[txt] I saw a kid get turned into a giraffe the other day, I don’t think we’re exactly “normal”.

[txt] Close, I guess. It’s a clothing store. I mean, it’s okay if you don’t want to! I probably shouldn’t have mentioned it…;; What if I told you my coworkers box in their spare time? Well protected work place. And stuff.

*Puts his phone down and rubs a hand over his returning grin*

So we still got it…

[TXT] Hey no that sounds great! I’ll have to swing by sometime definitely and say hi : )

[runningwhispers]

[txt] Alright! I’m... kind of unmistakable... I guess with how I look. But really if you look around I think you’ll see me. ^v^

[txt] Really though, I gotta get to bed. I’m way past sleep time and I have a full afternoon ahead of me.

[runningwhispers]

[txt] Wow… I’m glad my place is really understanding. Apart from the usual things, I haven’t heard much in the way of anonymous magic… but I wouldn’t be too sure how good I am at keeping up with it;; Nothing has happened to me in a while… oh no… now I’m worried…

-pauses-

… [txt] You’re welcome to drop by the store sometime if you want? I do have art school most days of the week but… Do you know the Twisted Stitches?

[jackartosaurus-blog]

….*Smile fades a little*

[TXT] Hey if we’re lucky maybe the magic’s faded and we’re a normal town!

[TXT] Twisted Stitches…a sewing place right?

[txt] I always get so worried about Halloween these past years for that exact reason! But oddly enough I never get anything. It’s possibly the most normal time for me.

[txt] Turning into a cat and being able to understand and talk with my new kitten was… an experience. It’s cool how everyone who works here though understands when you need unexpected time off from work because of magic.

[jackartosaurus-blog]

[TXT] Right??? Halloween is the WORST. Glad I was MIA for it this year :P

[TXT] I actually had a job once that fired me for being “sick” so many times. Believe it or not it was an ice cream parlor. Has it seemed slow recently? Like anything in the news about a new magic thing?

[runningwhispers]

[runningwhispers]

-muffles giggles-

[txt] Oh man, I didn’t even know about any of this sort of thing happening, I’ve moved a lot in the past and I thought it’d be like every other town. I guess I thought the small things I was seeing were from cosplayers or something?

[txt] And then I got cat ears and a tail and utterly screamed in the middle of the school hallway.

[jackartosaurus-blog]

*Grins*

[TXT] Oh then the magic’s only spared you. Halloween 2014: I turned into a werewolf in the movie theater while I was with a friend

[TXT] Same friend witnessed me turn into a bird the first time she met me. It gets wild pretty fast. Definitely not cosplayers, but it adds a lot of…CHARM I guess.

[runningwhispers]

…pfff

[txt] Seriously?? That could go either way amazing or awful. I believe in you Jack Frost, if it helps.

[txt] Truthfully I just moved here… twooo? Years ago? Wow, it seems like longer. This place was… is… weird. Heh;;

[jackartosaurus-blog]

*Smiles crookedly*

[TXT] lol thanks! Should’ve ran for class pres and put that as my slogan. And 2 years? I’ve been here for 5 and I was ready to check outta here my first 2 weeks!!

[TXT] I was scared as soon as I crossed the border to Thornville I’d turn into a chicken or something. LAST thing I needed while driving…

[runningwhispers]

…….. Mm……. -shrugs-

[txt] Ahh, um, yeah, I did. I was pretty quiet and never really talked to a whole lot of people, I’m really only in touch with two people I met there.

Mmmmm….

[txt] I’m Jean, by the way.

[jackartosaurus-blog]

…..*Looks up and leans against couch*

*Taps his chin with his phone*…

[TXT] Sorry, I guess we haven’t met… I had a lot of quiet friends, but I graduated about a year ago. Lost touch with most of them unfortunately.

[TXT] My name’s Jack, though. Jack Frost?

[runningwhispers]

...pfff

[runningwhispers]

[txt] Eheh, Thanks

[txt] I might just stop by, its a quick bus ride to the mall. Plus there’s a good locally owned coffee shop in there and I might need some.

[txt] Ah;;;; sorry

[jackartosaurus-blog]

[TXT] lol no worries dude! Good luck with everything

…

[TXT] Curious though…I just moved back to Thornville from Virginia, and your area code’s local.

[TXT] I mean the chances are probably REALLY SLIM, but did you happen to go to Thornville High? I’m trying to see if I can keep in touch with some friends. Sorry, not meaning to be creepy or anything ^^;;

[runningwhispers]

........ Mm....... -shrugs-

Sometimes there’s just not enough patient people in customer service. Trust me, if you are kind to me when you come in to my store, I appreciate you so very much. That one person though, that is just having a really bad day and are very snippy, I am kinda getting tired of it.
