My eBay account got suspended.

I have not used eBay in awhile so I guess I don't know the proper protocol for someone outbidding you for a cursed doll. Cursed with either a violent curse or a child's soul. The seller didn't specify.

It is not proper etiquette to e-mail the person you were bidding against and ask them to sell it to you rather than use it for their BuzzFeed article. Or let them be aware that you were honestly hoping it had some soul trapped in it to give it to friends in the hope that it will come to life in the middle of the night to do whatever cursed dolls do.

Who knew. I thought we were both cursed doll enthusiasts.

[Why isn't she surprised? She should be.]

Kei. You're a dear friend of mine but I don't know whether to laugh or wonder what you were thinking.

[livingimpaired]

I was thinking with a reasonable explanation they would sell me the doll. Of all the dolls that were being sold, that one looked like the highest probability of actually being cursed.

[leaveittomother]

There are more cursed items on that site. Perhaps just wait for the next one to come up.

That said, I didn't think you were interested in such items.

[livingimpaired]

I send in an appeal to have my account no longer suspended. It is now permanently suspended.

I have very little interest in them. I merely had the thought that they would make good gifts for two people I know. One of which is you.

[leaveittomother]

You were going to give me a cursed doll?

[livingimpaired]

Yes.

[leaveittomother]

[What is wrong with you?!]

Ah, well. It would have been interesting at least.

[She likes alive cursed children, not cursed dolls.]

[livingimpaired]

[ Let us not open that can of worms. ]

I wonder if a soul can truly get attached to an object. I have never been a superstitious person, but the idea of it is fascinating.

[leaveittomother]

[When another sociopath wonders about your sanity.]

Considering what we both remember it's a possibility.

[livingimpaired]

That is more something else's power rather than a soul independently possessing an object.

[leaveittomother]

It still raises the question of spirits, doesn't it?

[livingimpaired]

Yes. It is a miracle.

And on that note, it makes me wonder about the cursed status of objects.
How cursed must they be before a soul is trapped in it?
What causes its cursed state?
Feelings, emotions, or the event that happens by it?
So what is a soul and the means to connect to it?

Still, that is a little philosophical talk in relation to buying cursed items off of eBay and being permanently suspended off of it for my enthusiasm. I rarely am ever enthusiastic about anything, but it seemed like a worthy venture.

[leaveittomother]

It's all fascinating, really. We can discuss it later. For now, though?

Well, have you considered just making a new one with another e-mail address?

[livingimpaired]

I haven't.
I am wondering if my IP address will be blocked.
Then I have a useless e-mail that will be used for nothing.

[leaveittomother]

I doubt it. Just don't send anyone else messages like that and you should be fine.

[livingimpaired]

Ah, good news.
My quest for a cursed doll continues.
You'll have one soon, possibly.

[leaveittomother]

[Why. Why? This is not the spirit of an evil child she wants.]

I'm flattered by your generosity.
I don't think it will replace that particular child but what can one do?

[livingimpaired]

Give it to Luna?

[leaveittomother]

[You had to say it.]

Absolutely not.

[1/2]

[livingimpaired]

[livingimpaired]

Okay.

And it seems like you two have gotten much closer since we last spoke.

[leaveittomother]

Whether that is the case or not has nothing to do with this. My relationship with her isn't something that should be discussed in public. If you want to talk with me about her we can but she's only a child and her personal relationships shouldn't be aired in public.

[livingimpaired]

I apologize, Ai.
I'm being rude to you and Luna.
It was not at all my intention.
I allowed a good-hearted idea go too far.
I hope you can forgive me for it.

[leaveittomother]

I accept your apology.
I don't mind the rudeness towards myself but as a guardian I couldn't overlook the possibility of her personal information getting out.
I'll even accept the cursed doll as a curiosity.

Luna is not getting it, however.

[livingimpaired]

[ I knew it. You only had disinterest in life not apathy. You needed something to have you get interested in living. That's good. It's good. To be able to feel protective, to be able to feel connected to someone else -- to not want anyone to take her from you even a fake cursed object. I'm very pleased with this result, because if you are defensive and call yourself her guardian so readily, so much sharp, you've also found happiness you do not wish to give up. ]

I understand.
I won't make an attempt to give or suggest that she receive any such object.
Though, I feel like I should get you both something as way of apology.
