AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Oh god, oh god... it hurts.

You bitch, I'll kill you. Ahhh, I'm going to kill you.

I can't- I can't- I just have to pull-

AGH! Damn it!

Somebody, please, oh god it hurts so bad. Please not again, please-

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ooc: Long story short, Cain pushed the button and Sam got cursed with a Saw trap. He was put in one a few years ago when he first got to the City by the girl from Saw. He thinks she's back and is doing this again. Voice for replies, action for Rosella.]

We are going to need way more candy for Trick or Treating.

[ooc: Anything goes, he'll forget anything too problematic by tomorrow.]

Alright, so Halloween party at the warehouse on the big day. Night. Whatever it is. Costumes aren't required, but you're probably lame if you don't have one. There will be candy, drinks, games, and all sorts of stuff.

I'd like to point out that the warehouse is a safe place. Back in the day, like a few years ago, a lady named Saya lived there and she put a sweet ward around the place that prevents anyone from getting in if they're trying to hurt someone inside and kicks anyone out if they suddenly get violent. So, if you go all Crazy McMurderson at midnight because of a curse, you won't kill a bunch of your friends.

Edit: Also, Trick or Treaters are welcome.

Okay, I've got no clue what the bear or the interrupting or any of that stuff was about. The bear said it was a curse but the deities acted like it was some sort of escapee from... something. I don't know, maybe there's another City populated by bear people or something.

The mushroom might have been nice to have but being dead is kind of liberating. Type-2 diabetes? Not happening, so I can eat as much junk food as I want. Not being able to/needing to breath? Scuba diving is a lot cheaper without the tank. Not a bad gig at all.

( [Private to Rosella and Cain/Unhackable] )

So, not so sorry that I missed out on the curse today. I don't like tea, funny hats, or moving around all that much.

Okay, funny hats are kind of cool and I'm a little jealous I didn't get one.

Rosella, you're all back to normal now, right? I was about ready to make a deal with the deities to fix whatever it was that was wrong. Someone named Princess Tutu (I kid you not, that was what she called herself) gave you your heart back though.

Also, I think there should be a pumpkin patch here so we can go pick our own pumpkins for jack-o-lanterns for Halloween.

[The pictures is a bit spotted from moisture and crooked from the device lying askew but it clearly shows a body lying on the shore. It's still for a bit before there's a groan and it starts to push up off the ground to reveal a slightly blown up Sam.]

Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Jesus, that hurt. That was a seriously big explosion, my ears are going to be ringing for a week. And if I lost my eyebrows again...

[Turning, he sees the device and picks it up, wiping the camera off.]

Does anyone know if people were still in there?

So, for those of you that knew Bumblebee, he left. If you don't know Bumblebee but you know the big yellow robot/car that went around speaking through music, he's gone. Prooobably most people will be glad about that.

So, I found out some positives about being dead here:

1) You don't need to breath, so you can swim underwater as long as you want.
2) You're kinda cold all the time, so even a warm shower feels like a hot shower.
3) If there was a play or something that needed a corpse, you could do a really good impression of one.

The Steampunk curse was pretty cool so long as you're not bothered by gears and springs. Back home there's a few websites dedicated to making stuff look like that and it's pretty sweet. Were the subways turned into trains for the day?

The Earl of Hargreaves and I are trying to make a sort of record of what curses have happened and when. Does anyone know who the person who's been here the longest is so I can troll back in their journal and try and see what happened when way back in the day?

Also, I wouldn't want to be homeless, even if you have a car to sleep in, it sucks. Not that I was actually homeless, but too embarrassed to go home is kind of the same. Holy shit, I ran away from home at 18 and I don't even live with my parents. I officially fail at life. Or, well, death, I guess. I fail at death.

[Private to Rosella/Unhackable]

You're alright now, right?

So, was midnight really, really awkward for anyone else?

In a further effort to avoid doing any real work here now that I'm over 18, I'm going into the car rental business. With, uhhh, one car. But it's a sweet car.

It's a 2004 Jaguar, XJ8.



The going rate will be 1 Violet per 24 hours with a 1 Indigo deposit that you get back if the car is still in original shape, sans the gas you used to drive around.

So, if you've got a date coming up you want to make special or you just want to liven up your life a bit, let me know and we'll hook you up.

[Sam is singing, not exactly at the top of his lungs, but still plenty loud and not all that well at that.]

If the girl real sexy,
Nine times out of ten,
She sexy like her mama.
If the girl real hot,
Nine times out of ten,
She hot just like her mama.

Baby where’d you get your body from?
Tell me where’d you get your body from.
Baby where’d you get your body from?
Tell me where’d you get your body from.

[ooc: Cursed to sing. He's actually outside Rosella's room singing, but it's on the network for all to enjoy.]

So, people who have died back home and ended up here...

How do you look at the City? Do you start a new life here and try to move on and put back home behind you? I mean, there's nothing for us to go back to.

[Silence for a moment and then... A GASP!]

Oh god, what-

No, no, no, no... it wasn't, it wasn't supposed to happen like this! I found the tomb, I got the dust in the sock and I was almost there! It was going to work, I know it was. No, this can't be, this can't be how it ends.

It was going to work, I was going to save him, I know it.

Fuck.

[ooc: Sam was gone for about 30 minutes and is back and updated to part way through the movie. He is dead, and currently sitting dejectedly against the carousel. Action for anyone who wants to wander by.]

Oh! Take that, Mikaela! I mean, hypothetically, if that actually got within in a foot of you, take it. Not, you know, that actual wide miss that throw was that-

[The distinct sound of a dodgeball hitting someone in the head.]

Ow! How come you can't throw like a girl?!

[And that sound is repeated.]

Oh come on, that was-

That's it, I'm calling teams! Bee's on my team! Bee's on my team!

Everyone, this is Bumblebee. He's an Autobot from the planet Cybertron and a friend of mine. He's not a car, so don't try to jack him or anything.

So, I was thinking that this place needs some TV shows. Shows that are made in the City. Nothing like CSI: Law and Order: In the City or some crap like that or City Idol or anything (although that would be pretty cool and I'd probably watch). Mostly because those are a lot of work and I seriously don't have the drive to keep anything like that going.

But what about a cooking show? I mean, you've got people from all over the place, and time, and just about everyone has their own special recipes. And everything doesn't have to be Lobster Bisque. It could be someone's secret recipe for making Spaghettios twice as awesome as they normally are because seriously, more people will make Spaghettios than super fancy stuff.

And all you need is a kitchen and a camera and willing people, right? And I've got a kitchen and a camera and there's got to be some people who are willing to cook on camera and talk while they do it.

Thanks to everyone who came to the bonfire, it was sweet seeing everyone there having a good time. And no one went all crazy and lit themselves on fire or anything, which is good.

Yesterday though? That was seriously crazy. I don't know why people called me "the Beef" or asked about stuff they seriously shouldn't have asked about. It was awesome that your dad was here, Rosella. At least this time I got to see him.

Oh, also I wanted to-

No, no, no... stop that, stop- don't- get out of my head...




[ooc: Image is actually drawings below the text. Initial responses may get teh crazy from Sam.]

Alright, like he said there's going to be a bonfire on the beach, and it's going to be pretty awesome. And by pretty awesome I mean "really awesome". We have a couch to burn. Have you ever seen a couch go up in flames? It's sweet.

And yeah, like he said, bring your own food and drinks. I'll be bringing sticks to roast hot dogs and marshmallows. Probably paper plates and cups too. Burning your dishes is way more fun than washing them.

Mikaela I ca-

Oh shi-!

[A splash and a thud as he falls into the fountain.]

What the-

No, no, no, no. Not here, not now. This is really, really not a good time for this, City. This is like, the opposite of a good time for this. This is a very, very... just, no.

Mikaela, are you here? I can explain. Wait, do I have to explain?!

Rosella? Claire? Kate? Wow, I need more guy friends. Anyone?

It's over now, right?

Everyone is done being evil or 12 or whatever it is that they were? I know we all kind of realize and accept this stuff happens here and I should be grateful it wasn't one of the more violent curses but man, this was a crazy weekend.

Does anyone know how long it takes for your eyebrows to grow back if they've been singed off? Like, does it go faster if it's only part of one of them?
