You got a chip on your shoulder about people comin' back from the dead? 'Cause, hello, dead girl here. Lotta former dead people around here, as a matter of fact.
*smiles wanly* I feel you there. Wasn't exactly a person in my case, but - I wasn't going to be running the show in any way, shape or form if his plans came together. I'd just - have been like a shell for him, I think.
Both, actually. Just got some nice bath stuff for Christmas.
...Mine didn't get what he wanted. I died instead, and then he couldn't - use me anymore. Wouldn't've been my first choice, but...
*grins* Oh yeah. It's this great stuff from an outfit called Lush, a whole box of like bubble stuff and soap and bath bombs. I don't know how I got along without it.
"Oh. I won my battle with him, I think. I mean, I am me and he's not, so that's something, right? But I'm not sure. I don't remember. I just know what I've been told."
Cammy nodded. "I've been there. Baths are good for releasing stress. Colonel Wolfman says I shouldn't be stressed out when I'm at home, so I take lots of baths." She giggled.
Me, I'm trying to figure out just what exactly he is and what his plan was. I'm afraid he's gonna try again with somebody else, and I want to be ready if I can.
*nods* Now, I don't have the mad fighting skills, but I know firsthand, too much stress'll lead me into doing stupid stuff. I picked the wrong ways to deal before I died, so this time around I'm all about the bubble baths and the hot tea and the hanging out with a good friend or two. *giggles* Sometimes all at once!
With me it's being here, learning magic. Since he's kind of supernatural, I figure magic is what it'll take to fight him. Besides, he hides inside innocent people - fists and guns and all will just hurt them, not him.
*giggles* Well, one of the good friends is a treecat. He's bigger than a normal cat, but still a lot smaller than a person. And I'm afraid it's usually either the 'cat or the person friend, but not both - my guy gets a little iffy about having pets in there. He's got a cat, you'd think he'd know by now you can't keep 'em outta where they want to be...
"That's what we call collateral damage, love. It's not right, it just is."
Maybe this girl wasn't as sane as she seemed. Had her brain had rotted a bit while she was dead? "I'd be a bit unhappy about having a pet in the tub, too," she said slowly.
*bites lip* I might mind the idea of collateral damage less if I could be sure it would get him in the process. But when his last host died, he got away clean - people saw this spirit-monster-thing slip out of the body just before it gave out.
Oh, the treecat, he mostly stays on the bathroom counter. Now, my friend's kitten, I think it's more having the door closed on her that makes her wild to get in there. She's pretty sure she is the center of the universe and being locked out is Just Wrong.
"Then you're doing it wrong." Cammy shrugged. If things didn't work out, then you were doing it wrong. That's when you take another look at the problem, or at yourself.
"There's an answer to that," Cammy said matter-of-factly. "he needs another cat."
"How long has he had the cat?" she asked. Maybe if he didn't want it, she could convince him to give it up. It sounded like the cat needed a loving home where it would be appreciated.

"You don't smell. Do you use perfume, or lots of baths?" she asked.

Her face brightened, as if trying to pretend that she wasn't uncertain about anything. "Did you get bubble bath?"

That was an unusual mental image. Frowning, Cammy asked, "But with all of those people, where do you find room for the tea in the tub?"

*giggles* Oh, he'd love that suggestion. Tough guy still claims the cat's just a houseguest. Like he's not totally at her beck and call.
