It's awkward typing with one hand while crouching over a terminal and next to this guy I don't know.

He's still asleep!

Geez, I can only hope that my involuntary "freak" episodes are over with... That would be even more awkward...

-IN A RANDOM SEQUENCE.   [voice suddenly drops in tone] And hey, at least it isn't my cat this time.

Man, so many buttons, and so little... result.  Well this was a disappointing waste of time.  Disappointing in that I didn't nearly waste as much time as I could have.  [scratching noise]  Maybe I'm losing my touch.

.......What would Cosgrove do in this situation...?

...

...OOOOOOH UGLY PIG THING.  [disturbed pig squealing noise] PIGGY PIGGY PIGGY PIGGY Piggy piggy...

(ooc sorry for the disappearance, everyone... I'll be back for the next event and to re-orient myself in LJ roleplaying.  Oh, and to properly declare a hiatus when I go back to school.  See you on purgchat.)

I see other people have been experiencing nightmares as well.

I don't want to weiufkjvhhlsjhdfehl- Does anyone know how to make dreamcatchers or something?  I'm willing to try anything at this point - I've been losing more sleep over this than when the 2K virus rumors were at an all-time high.

[OOC (Edit x2): We... are in the Hauntings plot, right? o_O  Also, strike is deleted text.]

(ooc note: backlogged to third hour of rain in the endgame of the last event.  respond if you want to the personal bits, but it isn't essential - just Dexter being an emo chubbikins.)

I feel so helpless.

I mean, maybe my shoulders a little tough after six years of Duncan continuously punching me whenever he felt like it, and maybe my back muscles are a little tougher than other nerds from lifting excessively heavy textbooks for the entirety of my middle and highschool career, but other than that, I basically have nothing going for me as far as being able to help with the reconstruction of Purgatory.  I was a computer nerd - I didn't study an architecture.  I only know as much as anyone else does as far as physics and feats of engineering goes, and I sure as hell know nothing about interior or exterior design.  All I really can do is recover as many records as I can for Celestial Being, and that just doesn't feel like it cuts it anymore.

I miss having the... the capability?  No, the power to help people.  It's like... It's like the ashes of Purg are speaking to me, telling me that if there's anytime that we needed a Freak, it is now.

[/Private to Self]

Can anyone teach me exactly how one gets access to the Upper Level of Purgatory?  I've heard some rumors about an application...?

Oh God.  Oh god oh god oh god.

Is everyone alright?  I just heard about the fire...  Did everyone make it out okay?

also the whole burying yourself in the dirt thing totally helps cool you off so pbbbbht [difficult to hack]

[OOC: I'll be too busy to post for the remainder of this weekend up until Tuesday.  Not a hiatus, but a heads' up.  Don't you worry your pretty little heads though, I'll still check in occasionally to see how the rest of you are doing. ^_~]

I'm off to the junkyard after work to see if I can't salvage anything useful...  I've got a few ideas that I want to flesh out.

Data from others on the network indicates that this recent bout of horrid weather is not at all usual for Purgatory.

What is going on, and who would care to join me in digging a hole in the ground to escape this heat?

P.S.: Allelujah, Tieria, please tell me us administrative types are excused from work until the weather changes?  I'm of the opinion that filing papers can wait until the cabinets aren't melting and the folders aren't ready to immolate themselves.

Well, the discussions between me and Allelujah appear to have finished... I guess I'm part of Celestial Being now, in an "administrative position". I was told something about a boarding house in the lower level...? It's not like I brought anything here with me, so I guess if everyone's okay with it, I can go ahead and install myself in a bunk somewhere...

...It's also odd that I haven't seen Mizore in all this time. I really wanted to thank her for helping me out on my first night here.

[ooc: comments to be responded to in the morning/afternoon/whenever-i-get-up... us trigonometric functions do not function well without sleep.]

( Private to SELF // EXTREMELY Difficult to Hack [ooc warning: this is very, very long] )


@Mizore: I couldn't find you in the morning, so I'm leaving this post here in case you see it. Thank you very much for giving me a place to stay last night.

If you'd like, while I'm looking for a job/staying at the Library, I could help you out with some shelving and organization and stuff...? I guess I'd be an Assistant or something? It'd just be a temporary thing, but I want to be as helpful as I can while you're offering me a place to stay.

@Allelujah: I'd like to talk more about the details of signing up with Celestial Being. Would you like to meet up somewhere?

( Private to SELF // Difficult to Hack )

Uh, my name is Dexter Douglas.  I am, or was, a citizen of the United States of America.  I am also really, really, really frightened and I don't want to spend my first night in this scary place alone.  All you bloggers out there, would anyone like to take me in for the night?

And what was that growling noise just now?

Please, hurry!
