neither timid or tame

Who ISN'T sick? Joshua? Um. How about your sister? I don't like how this is turning out. Even if it is just chicken pox or a bad flu. That's so many people at once. I know weird. This qualifies.

I'm feeling okay. Not terrific. I haven't felt all that good for a long time. Just doesn't feel like home here. I miss...everyone. Even Manning.

I don't know what to wear to dinner. And I don't think I've ever had this problem before. Is this a date? Oh my God.

Truth: I don't like this game.
Truth: Abe is gone. Again.
Truth: I'm pregnant and irritable.

Don't dare me.

I'm going to stop making these candy runs one of these days. Probably not any time soon. Especially when I can't drink or smoke or...anything like that.

At least this one should be the last one for awhile. Right.

I didn't mean it. I didn't know how to control it back then. I was just a kid. I didn't want to. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. If I could just done something else I would have in a heartbeat. I'm sorry.

I hate it here.

Nuada's gone. Should I be happy about that? I mean, he didn't kill Abe or myself. Good news. God, I hope Red is okay...

Is there a doctor around here I could talk to? Preferably someone who's not unnerved by anything strange. Not like a shrink, a medical doctor. Dr. Martha Jones, I'd like an appointment if you can slip me in.

Charming, I'm going to try and get an appointment tomorrow so I may be leaving. You'll get your morning coffee. I'll make sure.

Two months. I should be feeling something. Or barfing every morning. My pants still fit.

What if something happened?

I can't freak out. I can't freak out. I can't freak out.

[Heavy crackling like fire softens to a whisper there's nothing on the line until.]

RED. [Quiet, worrisome breathing.] Red! [Another pause.] ...Hellboy?

What-what is--? I'm...here? The City was real after all. But-but he needs me.

NO. No no no no no. I can't be here. Not now. I need answers right now. I need to get out of this place. A man could die and the whole human race with him. I need to get back. Not--

[Fluttering of wings in the most annoying kind of way.]

Not cool. I'm in no mood to deal with any of you.

[[end voice post]]

[ooc; Guess who's been updated--through fire! I'll spare you on the spoilers...this time.]

I want to go home. I want to go home. I thought it was bad there, but at least there was more than one person who got it. At least Red was around, we did something.

I'm fine. It's nothing.

Yesterday ended with a bang. What the hell. Can't I have a normal day? Just one. Toshiko, thanks for walking me home. And for the new project.

I'm going to be busy the next few days if anyone's wondering. Leave me a note and I'll get back to you.

[private to Abe];
Hey, thanks for getting me out of the street. How long was I out this time? I lost track.
[end]

Today's on fire
The sky is bleeding above me, and I am blistered
I walk these lines of blasphemy, every day

And still:
Like a bad star, I'm falling faster down to her
I'm the only one who knows, what it is to burn

I feel diseased
Is there no sympathy from the sun?
The sky's still fire
But I am safe in here, from the world outside

So tell me
What's the price to pay for glory?

It's happening. Again.

All that listing and....I didn't even get a grocery list. A little help, Abe?

I need more film. I don't feel like taking pictures. Same place. Not that is a bad thing all the time. I've found a few cool places. Luck's bar is a nice place to just go sit and hide. Pretend like I'm not going to spontaneously burst into flame.

I miss Red. I miss Jersey. I miss ugly things. Weird. I don't believe I'm saying that. Time changes things. Or I'm changing. Something.

[private//hackable]

Stupid red monkey.

[end]

Abe. I still have it. It's all yours. I also found more candy. I don't think you want that. I don't know how long it's been there.

So. Anyone have any remains of those alien bug things?

I drew a taxi and a driver badly. I got free rides around but still in the City.

I used to wish things I would draw would come to life. I think pictures are better. You don't change much about what's around you, just appreciate it. This place needs more picture taking.

I want to go home.

I was part of a good ol' fashioned gang and a train heist. No problems there. Thanks, City. Way to go. I get you can change the scheme of the place but warping how people think...

I don't want to say that radio cast was right the other day.. I just can't think of the right kind of counter argument.

Prince Charming, I've finished up what you wanted me to do. Things have been a little slow.

It wasn't a bad curse. It just felt nice to be a part of something. I want to go sit somewhere and just char for a few hours. Not that I think that'd make me feel any better but...just let something out.

I just want to go home. I'm not going to find out how this place works on my own. That requires the whole team. I don't know what I should be doing.

[end]

Wow. Yesterday... can we not do that again? This place makes people feel horrible but that-that was just not fair.

Everyone's okay now?

I feel like I don't have a right to say much about this long curse. I mean, it is a curse right? I'm okay, I guess. Could be worse. What happened to that whole twenty-four hour rule? The longest I can think of was two days or three.

How do we know this will stop at all? Sometimes supernatural stuff gets a momentum. Objects at rest staying at rest and then objects in motion tend to stay in motion. This is more Abe's department. I'm not the one with the answers.

So let's say that this is just a curse. and it does end. What about that Mirror City everyone's been to, does it just go away? The whole thing is just like this one, right?

Zombies. Just--...hell. Back off.

I just wanted to return a book. They won't pay my late fees and there's no way around them. Great. This'll get messy.

[ACTION OPEN TO ALL : Life vest on, soaked and floating in the dark. Does her best to paddle now and then, trying to find more drifters. One hand is always above the water, a beacon of blue fire.]

H-hello! [Shouts above the waves.] I can keep you warm, j-just come here!

I think I'll need the candy after all. And maybe something to drink later.

My boss is gone and my friends.

This place again? No. No no no. I was home.

Boss, I'm back. I'll be in tomorrow.

[filtered to the BPRD];

Guys. Where are you. Marco. Marco Marco Marco.

[end filter]

I've got at least three pounds of candy bars. There's no why I can eat them on my own.  They need a good home.

[ooc; Liz wished to go home. By the time she came back, both Able and HB leftu.]

We've got three Blues in this City. Feel free to correct me if I missed one.

Blue the boy musician.

Blue the man.

Blue the dog she's missing and wounded. A boy is looking for her.

For the record, I wasn't a bird ever. After yesterday, talking to strangers from these parts is tame..

[filtered to the BPRD];
I'm almost jealous of the color theme.

The vampire, werewolf and immortal population in this place makes me think there aren't any normal people here.

edit; I have a job. We'll be moving soon.
