LETS TRADE CANDY AND STORIES

[vogelfrei]

[ There had still been doubts floating around about the authenticity of the bottled message. It makes sense to wonder when the Third Power has access to their very minds to mess with. Even now, even with this, McGillis knows he can't be certain.

And still he can't help but smile the moment the third word forms under his finger. ]

ALWAYS. DID MY RETURN MESSAGE REACH?

[lollidrops]

YES

I LOOKED 4 UR BOOK. NOT HERE.

[ ...hopefully that's enough to get that across, at least. ]

[vogelfrei]

[ His...? Oh.

McGillis knows very well what the last book they spoke about was. He's been longing for it every day here, craving the comfort of familiar words. To think that...

He really told Ramuda too much, didn't he? ]

THANK YOU. DO YOU NEED ANYTHING VIA WELL?

[lollidrops]

NO

EXIT

[ ... ]

CAN SEE AND HEAR IF UR OUTSIDE

AND WEEKENDS

[vogelfrei]

[ Well, that's just embarrassing to learn. ]

WILL BRING MEETING TO YOU NEXT.

TRYING TO FREE YOU.

[lollidrops]

THX

NO OTHER GHOSTS JUST US

[vogelfrei]

OK.

LOBELIA KNOWS?

[ Please don't tell him he has to go inform the guy of all this. ]

[lollidrops]

YES

HES A DUMMY

DONT FIGHT 2 MUCH

[ you can fight a little though, ramuda gets it. ]

[vogelfrei]

[ Ugh. ]

SORRY YOU SAW THAT.

WILL KEEP IT CIVIL DESPITE DISTASTE.

[lollidrops]

NO ITS COOL

[ really, he's not bothered! ]

ALHAM SUCKS 2

[vogelfrei]

QUITE.

[ There is a brief pause in the movement over the letters, almost as if McGillis was already done with his turn, but then the piece starts moving again. ]

I DID NOT UNDERSTAND. FOR THAT, ALSO SORRY.

PROMISES UNCHANGED REGARDLESS.

[lollidrops]

HUH

[ there's a pause here too because god is this method of communicating not at all efficient when you're a crazy pink critter. ]

LETS CHAT WHEN IM OUT [ this is not a convo to have over ouija board. ]

SAME 2 U

UR IMPORTANT 2 ME

[vogelfrei]

[ It's strange that he can just believe this now. Had McGillis understood this sincerity of heart about Ramuda from the get-go, they would never have gotten to this point. It's something McGillis is acutely aware of, another paradox within the paradoxes. ]

YES

I WANT YOU TO HAVE YOUR WISH IN THE END

[lollidrops]

U2

[ he lets the planchette hover over the sun in the board for a few seconds. ]

OTHER STUFF

WHAT TALKED 2 ME WAS VOICE

NICE GENUINE

[vogelfrei]

[ ... that's so Ramuda-like. How is a man supposed to brood in mixed feelings like this? ]

ANY OTHER DETAILS?

MALE OR FEMALE?

[lollidrops]

NO

UNIDENTIFIABLE

[ the planchette hovers by the moon for a bit before moving again. ]

PAINTING HERE HAD FORMLESS SHIMMERING BEING

[vogelfrei]

SHIMMER LIKE THE HANDS?

COULD BE WISH GIVER

[lollidrops]

YES

SHIMMER CLEANSED DARKNESS HORRORS

BUT

SALVATION EMPTY COLORLESS

[ ...and that's all he wrote because either he didn't pay his internet subscription or someone doesn't like all of this.

'GOODBYE' signals the marker before going still. ]

[vogelfrei]

[ Before McGillis can fully process what follow-up questions to ask, suddenly his hand is the only force pushing at the marker. Whatever transient connection existed between them is gone as suddenly as it came.

Leaving behind only a lingering feeling of renewed determination and--

-- and nothing, actually. The board vanishes just as quickly as it suddenly appeared, and McGillis is left alone in his room, to contemplate. ]
