[pm] Okay, so they’re a he and he is called Bertrand. I can remember that. How DID a scarf slap you though?

[pm] Quite easily, really, he just whips me with one of his ends and hits me. What’s really impressive is how he manages to make flawless pancakes without hands.

Wait, you meant

He’s not really a scarf, he just looks like one. He’s actually a yokai. A demon. It’s so refreshing not having to go through all the “Yes, demons exist, no I’m not crazy” speech I usually get at this point. By the way, you were remarkably calm for someone who just got himself involved with Hellhounds and sending rituals, kudos. I take it this wasn’t your first rodeo?

[pm] I sent Rio basically the same message but I haven’t seen him. But it’s not there anymore, I’ve been periodically checking on it and last time I checked there was just the eyelid.

[pm] I see understand. We shared the ritual, we shared the visions, makes sense we’d also share the little parasite. Wouldn’t be surprised to see it winking at me next time I go bar hopping.

How do you feel? Any differences now that it’s gone?

[pm] You get used to it pretty quickly, but if there’s anything I can do to make it easier let me know. It’s disconcerting to say the least. Dare I ask if there’s any chance of a magical remedy to this? My research has yet to uncover anything.

[pm] There probably is. In my experience there’s always a magical solution to any problem, as long as you’re willing to pay the cost. And between you and me? I don’t like our odds. We tried a spell I literally learned when I was 7 and we got stuck with this, imagine what would happen if we tried something bigger.

Did you use your magic while you had it? I want to try, but I feel... Disconnected from my powers. Or like the eye is just waiting to tap into it once more. Might be just me being paranoid, but considering what my spells usually deal with I’d rather not risk it.

[pm] Uh, my friend Winston said you might be able to help me with a... memory thing. They said you knew mental magic? I think that’s what they called it?

[pm] Wow, they weren’t kidding when they said a lot’s been going on...

Well, hello there. I probably shouldn’t just trust a complete stranger like this, you could be a bounty hunter,  or-- but it’s Winsto know a bit.

But I have to say, I’m not too comfortable discussing it online. People tracking our convos, checking our history etc., I’ve seen a documentary the other day about that, I even learned to clear my cookies because now I don’t trust the internet. I’m willing to talk, and if you’re truly a friend of Winston I’m even willing to help, but... Not like this.

Come at my store, where I have wards and components and demons watching my ba. If you’re truly who you say you are Winston will tell you where it is.

[pm] So ... how are you doing ... with the eye i mean?

[pm] I underestimated how much I actually use my palm. I keep accidentally poking it, and it doesn’t like it one bit. The visions are worse than I remembered, too, it’s hard to keep my trademark positive attitude in this situation.

But of course you know all this already, you went through it first. Still wondering why it’s jumping from one of us to the next. It’s like the eye is Goldilocks and we’re the three bears’ beds.

[pm] I get it, you needed to put things back together after spending a lot of energy on it. Makes sense. I've got the actual eye but like ... no more visions so it's not that big of a deal. Weirdly I'm actually getting used to it. But yeah, I get that. She was ... interesting to say the least. How does she know so much about demons? I've been fine, had a lot going on. But fine.

[pm] I’m still looking for a way to eventually remove that. Even just the eyelid is kind of a buzzkiller, and now that my powers are back and stable I’m definitely planning on getting on grindr again, so... I’ll keep you posted if I find a solution. Don’t hold your breath for it, but still.

She’s been around a while, seen some things. And I mean... She’s my roommate. Other people keep copies of Vogue in the bathroom, I keep the Necronomicon there. And Vogue, but that’s just because I never cancelled the subscription I got to upset my dad, so...

“But fine” doesn’t sound too convincing. Can I help somehow? Still owe you a lot.

[pm] Sorry… I have been trying to figure out exactly what it is and where it came from but either there’s no recorded history of it or I’m looking in the wrong places.

[pm] No need to apologize, I haven’t found anything either, and I like to think of myself as sort of an expert in the field, so... We’re dealing with something big here.

Honestly I’m at a loss, I’m this close to just putting on some eyeliner on the little bastard and see if that gets some reaction. Yes, I’m that desperate at this point.

[wardinasrani]

[pm] The eye. It's gone. The eye is gone. It's GONE.

[pm] Deep breaths, Winston.

What do you mean with ‘gone’ exactly? Did the eyeball vanish, did it roll out for a stroll? How does your hand look? My... Eyelid is still there, sleeping like a baby. Have you heard from Rio? Because, well, I have a theory.
