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.

Ok.
Would you like me to check the timestamps and if you do not write a response in ten minutes, feign being concerned?

[maidhem]

How about you meet me and don't feign concern?
Then you can kick it too.

If you want.

I might freeze it.

[livingimpaired]

I will still feign concern.

But I am curious on seeing it in its natural habitat, as it were.

Freeze it?
You have powers, then?

[maidhem]

[She sent him the address of the storage unit, complete with code to get into the lot.]

I'll meet you there asap!

And yes, I have some. I can't really use them in a fight, but sometimes things kinda freeze.

My healing staff is more reliable.

[livingimpaired]

You should speak with Shouto Todoroki about that. I believe he has ice powers and has quite a bit of control over them. He may have some insight for you.

Healing staff?

I'm going to bring chalk with me. [ Going to draw a pentagram on the floor. ]

[maidhem]

Shouto Todoroki. I'll remember that name!

And yes, a healing staff. The item itself has some magic that only some people can use..
and I guess I'm one of them. It won't stop anyone from dying, but it can help with bruises and uncomplicated breaks.

Why are you bringing chalk?

[livingimpaired]

I believe it would make him happy to know he could help others.

How do you use it?
You see, I have received something like healing -- at least, I have a latent understanding of my power.
Nothing solid, but it is related to healing.

I am going to draw a pentagram on the ground.
I'll bring candles, too.

[maidhem]

I just focus my thought and feelings on helping people and it works?

[She honestly hadn't thought about the 'why' of it.]

Please don't burn down my dad's storage unit!

[livingimpaired]

Ok. [ OK.PNG ]

I have no intention of committing arson.
They're small candles.
How flammable is your father's storage??

[maidhem]

There's a TON of boxes!

[livingimpaired]

All right.
No candles.

[maidhem]

You can bring sage!

And holy water!

[livingimpaired]

I was a priest in my other life.
But I don't think I have the authority to bless water in this one.
So I'm afraid I can't.

Also, I want it to remain haunted, not purify it.
If it comes down to it, we'll just rip the limbs off.
Then it'll just wobble about unable to hurt anyone.
Fair?

[maidhem]

I was a ninja maid, and I don't think I could even handle an ACTUAL cursed doll!

[Lies. Cursed dolls were nothing on dragons.]

You really just want a cursed doll, don't you?
Okay. No holy water, even if we could just go to a church and get some...

[livingimpaired]

A ninja maid.
That explains the shuriken.

And, oh.
Are you Catholic, too?

[maidhem]

I don't really go to church, but churches have open minded people in them.

I'm sure they won't mind if we asked for some holy water... if you change your mind.

[livingimpaired]

Please don't bother the priests with this.

[maidhem]

Okay!

Let's just go collect the doll ourselves!

[livingimpaired]

Mission start.

[maidhem]

Meet you there in 15. I'll have my staff and my knives.

[livingimpaired]

I'm going to ask you not to kill me.
This seems like an odd request.
But I'm going to ask it all the same.
Please don't let me die tonight.

[maidhem]

[Felicia stared at the message-- hard. Her heart felt heavy with the weight of those words, but not uncomfortably so. It steeled her nerves, prepared her to move.]

I solemnly swear by my family's name that I'll do everything in my power to not let you die.

[livingimpaired]

[ Even with what he knows about past lives, he's just a little worried that he's going to end up stabbed tonight and so needs some reassurance. ]

Thank you.

[maidhem]

[Even the bravest among them would need that sort of reassurance.]

I look forward to working with you. See you soon.

[livingimpaired]

[ He is absolutely sure Felicia is going to end up stabbing him, and just resigned to be stabbed at this point. ]

Ok.
