Connect the Deaths

Well thats sounds Interesting tough unfortunate. Though I don’t see a lot of what that has to do with you. I mean you aren’t your father, and if people are judging you based on his supposed actions thats shit. 

Aand, I know it doesn’t help anything, but I just want to reiterate that I for one do not hate you. I mean I don’t think I know you well enough to hate you…. So you know there is that. 

You should be. Considering my concussion history it truly is a miracle I have any motor skills at all. 

[pm] Cool. I hope you got to learn something. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help. My well…. lets just say my brand of crazy is very secretive. 

Because I defended him. So people think I helped cover it up or that I helped him murder people. Whatever. I don’t really give a shit about what they think if I’m being honest.

You’ve warmed my heart. 

[pm] Your dog was plenty of help. 

[pm] He must like you better than he likes me. We keep getting into spats. He did buy me a new field hockey stick though because mine broke when he and I tried to fix the portal thing.

Just what I aim for.

I haven’t built a pillow fort in ages, but I take your point. Please no using whatever “powers” you have to break anything while we’re in an old building though. The tree was fine, but I don’t want heavy debris to fall on us. I don’t know how well I can levitate beams or large pieces of building. Yet, at least. Someday I want to be able to

[pm] Probably because you’re too strongly opinionated. About everything.

[pm] He confuses me. I do not know what to make of him.

I was actually making a joke, mostly. You might not want to hear this, but you actually don’t make me super super anxious any more. I consider you one of my closest I know you won’t murder me. I’m more anxious about other strangers doing so I do not think an abandoned warehouse would be the very most best place to practice, though. You could get injured from falling pieces of the building, plus I’ve never been in the Bend, I don’t think?. Actually though if we get to hang out and train I guess I would do it since I like hanging out with you

[pm] He seems harmless. Gives off puppy dog vibes. Way too friendly and pleasant for my liking. Just a casual conversation with him seems like... bonding. It’s horrifying.

I’m flattered.

[pm] [d: thank god] Great! Um, what about after school on Thursday? I'm not working then.

[pm] Noah - plays football at UMAC. I thought I had mentioned it to you, but either way - yes. He’s not said anything thankfully.

Well, you do know how much I love practicing in horror movie sorts of locations. :P I’ve always wanted to be part of a Stephen King novel. [user is a bit alarmed at her sense of humor in this case]

[pm] Oh, that dude? I know him.

Interesting. I’d ask for more but I have a feeling thats where the story ends with you. 

Trust me kid. Justtt trust me. And still? Dude that was like 12 years ago. Like I’ve like almost died three times since then. One of which you were there for I think….So it’s all good buddy. We’re golden on that one. You don’t have to feel bad and talk to me out of pity. I’m a big boy. Tie my own shoes and everything. 

[new pm] So um I know this is personal but I just have to ask. Did you ever figure out more about your strength?

It’s not a secret or anything. Everyone thinks my dad’s a serial killer. Everyone hates me. See? Simple.

Wow. I’m impressed. 

[pm] Not everyone, but yes. Unicorns and dragons are “too outlandish” for the majority of them.

Does that work out for you, usually? No judgement, just an honest question.

[pm] Well that makes no fucking sense.

[pm] I’m sorry - you’re not a mess up, I am (or, my doing magic and you seeing is) - but yes, the first one was you.

Yes, it is. I just don’t like it that she’s hurt.

That’d be nice. Forest, or elsewhere?

[pm] Okay so someone else knows? Who?

[pm] It is actually quite interesting. Though it’s not something most folks are inclined to believe, my co-workers included. Ridiculous though that may be.

Well, I’ve met some folks who I care about a lot, and I don’t know - did this town have to do things for me in order for me to want to do it good? Or at least help?

[pm] An organization specializing in the supernatural doesn’t believe in the supernatural? So they’re idiots?

[pm] I’ve already had two big mess-ups with that, and though neither have ended in disaster or death, the next one very well could.

She sure as hell better be. But from what I can tell, it does seem to be a normal burn, and she’s been checked out by the hospital and everything.

This weekend? I desperately need to spend more time out of the house.

[pm] Two big mess ups? I’m assuming that I’m the first.

See? Normal.

Not anymore? They kick you out or something? I mean you don’t have to tell me, but if its not something super serious I might be able to help. Coaches usually love me. 

Nah man I’m a pretty good judge of character, even on the internet. And your character does not scream “I’m a hurtful person and resent everything in this world so I’m going to kick and punch other people down to my level.” In fact it just screams more “I’m a lonely angsty teenager, but I use sarcasm as a defense mechanism so I don’t have to get to close to people”. Because if it did you’d have been done with me by now. 

Nah, sports were never really my thing. I’ve been told I’m not a great team player. I used to be friends with a bunch of people on the HS football team. Now I’m not. Pretty simple.

Really? Because you sound more the type who wouldn’t be caught dead in the athletic parking lot let alone the bleachers hot shot. 

Using sarcasm for humor and being a true killjoy are two different things my dude. And don’t let people tell you otherwise. 

Not anymore at least, that’s for sure. So you caught me. Unless I’m forced there against my will.

I don’t usually listen to what the people around me tell me. But I’m not sure you know me well enough to know if I’m one or the other.

[pm] Yes.

That’s as good a reason as any.

They do, I just suck at taking it. I like to be need to be like to be around to help this town out, best as I can.

[pm] Interesting. 

[pm] Worried about others finding out? Of course, it’s who I am. I’m not so much worried about you telling though It’s just a precaution I take.

The burn, not the one-eyed monster. 

Also, since it’s not super foggy outside, can we train again sometime? If you still want to

[pm] Fair.

She going to be okay?
