I had an accident recently, most unintended. It seems I passed through a sort of threshold. I hadn't heard of these things in years, actually, and was rather surprised to come across something I always thought was reserved for cautionary tales

Why are you two talking about how normal we're not?

[sleeps_in_tubs]

Annie started it.

[wolfporter]

This is not helping us look normal.

So we tell everyone she's a bit soft in the head. There's a blue vampire here, I saw. And a pregnant man. It just may be that here, WE are normal.

[wolfporter]

A pregnant man...why's the vampire blue?

[sleeps_in_tubs]

I have no idea. He insists he is white, though. Perhaps he was turned while frostbitten?

[wolfporter]

...You can be turned blue wouldn't his blood have frozen too?

[sleeps_in_tubs]

...I hadn't thought about that. I try not to.

[wolfporter]

Hmmm maybe he's just tattoed himself.

[sleeps_in_tubs]

His entire body? That seems rather excessive.

[wolfporter]

He's had a lot of time?

[sleeps_in_tubs]

Masochism at its height? It sounds rather painful.

[wolfporter]

It probably is...why is your shoe on the steps?

[sleeps_in_tubs]

My shoe is on the steps?

[wolfporter]

Yes your shoe is on the steps. Why?

[sleeps_in_tubs]

It's napping.
