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.

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.

[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.

[leaveittomother]

Such as?

[Has he always been this creepy? She doesn't think so but she's now defensive.]

[livingimpaired]

Food hardly seems right.
Perhaps some items that you two actually were fetching to get?
Something matching, maybe?
Like bracelets?

[leaveittomother]

Kei, I'll accept a free meal.
You don't have to go out of your way.

[livingimpaired]

I've never heard you sound so mad at me.
And so I feel I must go out of my way.
Even if you accept my apology.
Call it, Catholic Guilt, if you will.
Haha.

[leaveittomother]

Please.
You don't sound like yourself, calm down.

[livingimpaired]

Ah. Sorry.
I was going overboard.

[leaveittomother]

I understand.
Just, remember what you told me?
