[When Malik starts this post he looks like he's completely ignoring the fact he is stuck in this sweater. He's fairly successful, though there's an obvious irritation on the edge of his tone.

The fact he was gifted a broken doll arm probably didn't help his mood. Ho ho ho.]I have yet to find parchment in this city- I would be willing to trade for ( Read more... )

[There's the sound of repetitive holiday music playing as Vanessa sighs.]

Has that much time already passed that it's Christmas? [She tugs at the sweater she's wearing and sighs.] This is awful. Tacky, even. [Tug tug.] And trust me, I know tacky. My mom has made bad designer decisions before.

[There's a few moments of silence from her before she ( Read more... )

You're kidding me. Oh you are kidding me.

This...whatever this damn thing is, it's inefficient. Type with fingers? You need a damn hand to speak? I guess technology here isn't at all like home.

Whatever. I'm not calling to bitch. I'm used to getting information, and I plan to keep it that way. Speak up boys and girls-and whatever else is here. Does ( Read more... )

[Shelby has the phone trained on one desperately struggling prince as a snowman swallows him whole. There's a minute of quiet before the snow melts, and Garrett forces his way out of the snowman, panting.]

You could have helped. [The glare, of course, is meant for her but since the camera is trained on him. :'|]

You are doing well on your own. I ( Read more... )

[Although Dean had been slightly wary of the snowmen appearing and singing their creepy little carols it hadn't occurred to him that they should be watched carefully. He'd glanced at a few in passing and they didn't appear to do anything more sinister than that freaky ass caroling thing, so they had been mostly ignored in favor of looking for ( Read more... )

[have Kaycee sitting under a streetlamp wearing ridiculous-looking earmuffs. she has a small satchel out and she's plinking wet-looking stones in it. it's snowing, but she looks relatively swell in her puffy jacket.]

Stupid question, I know...but...does anyone know what day it is today?

[more plinking of rocks going in the bag.]

I've been trying ( Read more... )

[By now, Travis has settled into Abax, more or less. Not that he's happy about it, seeing as he's a southern California native who's been forcibly relocated to a strange, poorly heated city. And in the dead of December. But he's managing as best as he can. He's currently holed up in a video store, awkwardly curled up on a mattress nicked from a ( Read more... )

[VIDEO POST. HELLO NEW WORLD it's Kaycee's face taking up the screen. Can I get a woop woop? No? Alrighty then.

Her mouth is turned upward into a false, almost too happy smile.]

So! I actually never thought I'd see a technologically...normal-ish world. Waking up in a body bag aside...

Maybe you fell asleep, maybe you were knocked out. Maybe you were in the middle of a fight, maybe you don't even remember what you were doing at all. But regardless, you remember the darkness. It's crushing, all-encompassing. It fills your lungs and presses it's weight down on your shoulders, suffocating, overwhelming. It's so dark you can't tell ( Read more... )
