[There is a click, and the back of Nike's head is first seen, before it turns around, showing large, bewildered, unfocused eyes that seem unable to even concentrate directly on the camera. They are too busy swiveling around, taking in her surroundings. Her very, very black-and-white surroundings.]

[After a moment, her gaze manages to focus on the ( Read more... )

[a sharp tone stuck undecided between low and shrill,] Listen! Listen. I--you know who y--ugh--listen, listen! She could have been killed. She--[a pause, here, as though half-choked, half-furious with the thought,] She could have been killed!

We're mortals, now! We're not--we can d--[cut short with a falter; then,] What would I do if anything ( Read more... )

[a thick, groggy voice] ...Why does my face never fail to look as though a truck ran over it, in the mornings? My eyes are so puffy I can't even see them.

[a low mutter, muffled sounds of stretching] Thank goodness it's Saturday.

I love this world! I love the sun, the streets, noisy noisy cars--and I love the shadows! I love them, I love them, I love them! They’re funny and adorable little darlings (hi, Erebus! You're amazing!), aren’t they? The way they are there--harmless--always keeping everything company. Like silent protectors. Really, I love them! But what I ( Read more... )

Oh, hey! This is so very not convenient. Where is the hall and why is a toilet gracing my eyes instead, oh seriously--

I'm double-bolting my door, sorry! I mean, if this attempt at self-preservation even works.

...But, uh, due to the recent event (a big, big, elephant-sized one, if anyone else has noticed, though I am sure most of you already ( Read more... )

Thank you, Great-Grandfather, for inviting us all to the coast with you! It was fantastic fun--we should go there again, soon! After all, summer is here! (Would it be too much to go outside onto the roof and shout that?) Anyway, it was truly nice to meet those who went again, in a more er, relaxed setting, as I am sure I wasn't the only one with a ( Read more... )

I do not believe catching a death of cold sounds to be much fun--or that it can even be caught. But that’s what the lady at the park told me as I squished past her in my sopping shoes, and I have a feeling it is going to be inevitable, anyway, as my head already feels awfully strange. Does dying from a cold count as a non-violent death (though it ( Read more... )

THANATOS. YOU LIAR.

........I knew this was going to happen! I KNEW THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN. Ugh, ugh, ugh!

I am just--just--just going to hide in a closet now. Please be excusing me.
