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.

then its settled

i'll get you a cursed doll. then you can do the same for me when you get your account working

[livingimpaired]

If I ever get it working.
eBay, there was no reason to be this defensive over supposed supernatural objects.

[ohrlyeh]

are they selling any other cursed objects on there? i have never checked if they do and now you've got me interested

[livingimpaired]

I was only looking for dolls so I don't know.

[ohrlyeh]

i wonder if they have amulets i'm a big fan of those

[livingimpaired]

Really?
I did not know that.
I thought you would like dolls more.

[ohrlyeh]

i like dolls a lot but amulets and artifacts are usually found in the deep oceans and have stories behind them

dolls are not found in the ocean: hence, less interesting

[livingimpaired]

I will keep that in mind for your birthday.
I have something to save up for now.
I assume a cursed amulet would cost more than a cursed doll.
But I'm not in the cursed items market.

[ohrlyeh]

that's kind of you to think of getting something for my birthday...

i didn't even know there was a market for cursed objects

i wonder what other cursed things they have

[livingimpaired]

Well. I like you, Howard.
Generally speaking, when you like someone, you celebrate their birth.

And, anyway, I've heard there are a few shops around here selling some cursed objects.
So, that's exciting.

[ Exciting in a deadpan way, but exciting. ]

[ohrlyeh]

i appreciate it
i like you too, kei.

is that so? like physical stores? do you know where they're located?

[livingimpaired]

Equally appreciated.

Not yet.
But I'm also googling haunted areas in Recolle.
So that's distracting me right now.

[ohrlyeh]

i know of a few haunted areas but i've never visited them

are you aiming to see some or what

[livingimpaired]

This is a half-hearted interest of mine, and so I have no intention of stepping on your feelings.
However, I wouldn't mind seeing them.
I wonder if some demon would come to kill me.
Haha.

[ohrlyeh]

you think that would have already happened if these areas are as haunted as they are

could see some ghosts though

[livingimpaired]

I can't say I know how to exorcise ghosts, but I do know that you can destroy the body and they'll probably just leave.
I also would just leave the area if someone destroyed my body.
Since I would consider it rude.
Also I would be dead.

[ohrlyeh]

well at least you'd be a ghost and you could haunt anyone and everyone as much as you want

there's a certain kind of freedom in that i think

[livingimpaired]

Would you mind me haunting you, Howard?

[ohrlyeh]

sure

i wouldn't feel lonely

i'd try to take you places though i'm sure you could go places i couldn't

would you try to possess me?

[livingimpaired]

You want me to attempt to unlock the cages at the zoo, don't you?

And no.
That would also be rude.

[ohrlyeh]

haha there's an idea. sure. why not,

well it's not like i use my body very much for anything anyways. i just sleep a lot. i don't think i would mind it myself. being possessed, i mean

[livingimpaired]

It would be the perfect crime.

Really?
Then, I'll humor the idea.
You could remain sleeping and I could do whatever ghosts do in possessed bodies.

[ohrlyeh]

you can't arrest someone if they're dead.

in movies, possessed people tend to get up to no good. so i guess you would, i don't know, write ominous messages on my wall or something. scare people. turn my head around 180 degrees and ignore the fact that i have a skeleton

its all up to you really

[livingimpaired]

That is in the law book somewhere.

Ah.
Though, I don't think that is right to write messages on your wall.
That would take a lot of money to fix up later.
If I'm inhabiting your body freely, it seems like I shouldn't add to your stress when you wake up.

[ohrlyeh]

oh for sure

that's very nice of you.

you'd make for a very polite ghost, kei.
