[Lady appears on the screen, looking distinctly dishevelled and even more grumpy.]

Does anyone have any hints for getting that bitch to stay away from my bed? My back is killing me, these sofas aren't meant for comfort.

And is anyone up for a grocery run? I need coffee, and I don't know the way.
Nor do I fancy meeting any of the local populace by

I would suggest putting tape around your bedframe. Where is she, under your bed?

[nameislady]

You betcha. Or, at least, she was the last time I made the mistake of trying to sleep on it.

So, tape'll keep her clear?

[petalsofdeath]

Perhaps making a cage of tape would work? Typically my ghosts are in the shower drain.

[nameislady]

Ugh. That's just kind of gross. I suppose, if I could move the bed, I could tape a big ol' cross to the floor. That would work.

[sword_of_k]

I need to procure a few items. Would you mind a detour to the hospital?

[nameislady]

Two questions. How dangerous, on a scale of one to hellhole, and how many going?

[sword_of_k]

I would say... "Halfway to hellhole", if that makes sense. I am familiar enough with the area now that I can navigate it. However, Iit would be just you and me. All of the volunteers have disappeared... for reasons other than hospital trips, of course.

[nameislady]

Heh, makes more sense than you think. I can't say I wouldn't be more comfortable with a few more on our side, but I've faced worse odds.

[An ear twitches as Mika seems to be waking up from a stupor, scratching behind an ear.]

Dunno, I've been sleeping on the couch for months. Maybe you could get a new couch? It's either that or tape up the bed during the day.

I'm wondering if there's a way to slap a load of tape on the floor underneath it. That should scare her off, right?

I dunno, I find taping the bed is most effective, since it ensures the bed is generally safe no matter where it gets moved to.

Re: video;

[nameislady]

Wait..She moves the bed as well?

[whiskeykillshot]

It's either the couch or the bed. But if I were you, I'd stick with the couch.

[nameislady]

I was hoping you weren't gonna say that. I'll be walking like a cripple when I finally get out of here.

[whiskeykillshot]

Trust me, it's better than dealing with the freak under the bed.
And considering I have an idiot in red taking up most of my mattress, I'd say we're in the same boat.

[Oh my God, Rubi. OH MY GOD.

Mika makes a shrieking sound that no one is around to hear before scrambling to snatch up her phone.]

RUBI! [Okay, wait. No. No. There's a better solution to this. Mika takes a moment to compose herself, a hand clamped over her face as she tries to breathe properly, then tries again.]

Actually, you know what? Nevermind. I am so out of here. If anyone needs me I'm making a winter camp in the woods.

[Because holy shit she is not staying around to find out what Kalina Ann can do to the structural integrity of the apartment complex.]

[werallsatisfied]

Best bet? The general agreement, jus' tape the thing up.

While you're out? Pick me up a six-pack and a bottle of whiskey, will ya?

[nameislady]

What's wrong with you? Two broken legs?

[werallsatisfied]

What? You're on the way out, I'm busy here.

[nameislady]

You know the deal, D. Nothing's for free.
