[ There is a very annoyed young man on your seal right now, guys. He's holding it a little too close to his face, raising an eyebrow at the thing. ] Is this on? What even is this thing, why can't they give us something sensible like a pre-release of the iPhone 5? This is ridiculous

I've been told it works best when your wish is specific. But is there a reason why you take objection to those clothes? ... Though the shoes do look impractical ....

[Video]

[couragemantra]

So if I ask for items of clothing based on their designer or catalog number...? I knew memorizing items on the Macy's spring catalog would come in handy!

[ He takes a moment to stare, then shakes his head. ] Those clothes are fine, if you're homeless and have no choice. But they're not fine for me.

It might work. There was a person who wished for food made by his butler, and received the kind of food his butler made. It also worked when I tried wishing for more ammunition.

... If I may ask, what makes them unacceptable?

[[Adjusts her cap, not quite self-consciously.]]

[couragemantra]

Excellent. I also have a bunch of items I saw in Vogue in mind...

Um. I mean... [ Serious thoughts. This is a serious situation. ] Well, those clothes wouldn't fit me at all. And they're plain and ordinary.

[Enma frowns, though it's a thoughtful gesture, mostly. Really, he's a little relieved to know that he wasn't the only one who wished "GO HOME NOW" and didn't Get anything. Well. Once it took him back to his apartment and deposited him in a nearby dumpster.

We're not mentioning that out loud. No one saw.]

It's a seal, and uhm--

[A pause. That's really all the help he can provide.]

Might be better not to wish at all...

[couragemantra]

Oh? And why is that? I'm not planning on wishing for a car or a pet elephant or anything heavy, especially since these clothes hit me over the head. But other than the rather obvious danger aspect, what's the point of not wishing at all?

[neverbeenworse]

Seems easier. Don't have to put up with...stuff.

[He gestures vaguely, trying to indicate the Crocs but accidentally whacks the seal out of his hands instead.

There's a pause as he scrambles to retrieve it]

Like, uhm. The shoes.

[couragemantra]

[ It's kind of dizzying watching the seal fall, so he looks away until Enma's back again. ]

Trial and error. Like right now, I'm going to wish for a pair of black Converse high-top Chucks and get out of these uniform shoes.

[ He closes his eyes (because that's what seems natural) and does so. The pair of shoes that appear... are no more than a women's size five. ] Crap!

[ Blaine, of course, is freaking out just as much as Kurt is - less over clothes, perhaps, and more over the fact that he was just in an antique shop and now he really totally isn't. He's not going to let that override the fact that he is ridiculously worried about his friend, of course, and he sounds nervous and worried as he replies. ]

Kurt? Is that really you? [ Of course it is, but he has to make sure. Just in case. Then, he pauses. ] Are you seriously freaking out about clothes right now?

VIDEO.

[couragemantra]

[ Best wide-eyed look is a go! ] What? Blaine? Is that you? Oh my god!

[ He smacks the seal against his chest, like he's hugging it, before pulling it back again. ] What are you doing here? Where are you?

And yes, I'm freaking out because these clothes hit me in the face.

VIDEO.

[givingcourage]

I'm here for the same reason you are, I guess? I don't really know. I'm just here. Wherever here is.

[ He can't help but smile at Kurt, really. ]

Maybe you should have wished for them to be folded in front of you? Save your face the pain.

VIDEO.

[couragemantra]

Describe "here" to me, and I'll try to find you. I arrived in some great big... hall thing but then I set to wandering.

[ He gives Blaine a small smile, as well. ] That's a good idea. I'll definitely do that if and when I ever get this down. Have you tried it yet? I can't be the only person it works for.

W-Wishes tend to go wrong if you're not specific enough.

[Blinks at the clothes, looking very confused. Those clothes look fine. The shoes well, no one would want to wear those in the middle of winter]

Oh and wishes to go home don't work at all.

Video

[couragemantra]

Wow. Figured that second part out just fine, thanks. [ He sighs and rubs one hand over his eyes. ]

[reluctant10th]

Aah. R-Right.

[Frowning a little]

Are you okay? Has anyone explained the city to you yet?

[couragemantra]

[ He looks back and lowers his hand. ] Sorry. I'm snappy when I'm stressed.

And... no. Not in so many words.

Oh my..[sup. have a princess dressed very fashionably in..too lazy to link it, peering at you from the screen]

Another new arrival. Have some of your questions been answered already?

♚ video

[couragemantra]

[ Sighing ] Yes, essentially. No wishing to go home, no non-specific wishes.

I still have no idea what I'm doing here or why or what to do now I'm here, though.

♚ video

[mykimlasca]

Yes, I'm quite sorry, but please be assured that most of us are doing all we can.

You can first locate your living area. Have you checked your key yet?

[couragemantra]

[ Looking a little scandalized, now. ]

....I'm going to be living here?
