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.

Oh, I see.

It’s a movie about possession.

It was one of the first horror movies I ever saw, and it stuck with me.

To think that objects could be possessed, or worse, people...

They wouldn’t be able to control themselves.

[livingimpaired]

I see.
That does sound like how possession works.
But I suppose if it is mutually consented, there isn't anything to worry about.

[beneathmoonlight]

I suppose...

But why would anyone want to do that willingly?

[livingimpaired]

Haven't you ever wanted to be possessed?

[beneathmoonlight]

No??

Why would I?

[livingimpaired]

I don't know.
Life's short.
Existence is worthless.
We're all being slowly killed by something.
Why not try possession?

[beneathmoonlight]

[...]

Is everything all right, Shigaraki-san?

[livingimpaired]

Probably.

[beneathmoonlight]

I can leave you be, if you need me to...

[livingimpaired]

No.
That's fine.
I find your presence acceptable.
There's no reason to leave if you don't wish to end our conversation here.

[beneathmoonlight]

Well, if you’re sure...

Do you know what creepypasta is?

[livingimpaired]

Of course.

I didn't until Howard started to send me it at 3am in the morning.
Neat stuff.
I know when he's avoiding work too that has piled up and doing it late into the night.
So also indirectly informative stuff.

[beneathmoonlight]

Haha that sounds like him

I remember one about a man sleeping in an abandoned cabin, and he thought all the paintings on the wall were really creepy

But when he woke up

They were actually windows

[livingimpaired]

How nice.
And oddly comforting.
Because he woke up at all.

[beneathmoonlight]

That’s true

I wouldn’t want to die that way

[livingimpaired]

I wonder how one would die in that situation.
I should ask Howard.

[beneathmoonlight]

I mean

Maybe they suck your soul out?

[livingimpaired]

Well, that's boring.

[beneathmoonlight]

I mean

Maybe the ghosts could eviscerate people

[livingimpaired]

See, that is much more interesting.

[beneathmoonlight]

What if they like

Disemboweled them

Then like

Tossed the innards all over

[livingimpaired]

Neat.

I have no interest in death.
Or the final breath a person takes.
But I consider disembowelment to be part of life before it ends.
And done by a spiritual being -- or beings -- is even more interesting.

[beneathmoonlight]

Death is too much of a mystery

Even if you’re religious

It’s kind of terrifying

[livingimpaired]

It would be.
But everyone dies alone.
So we have that in common.

[beneathmoonlight]

That’s not very comforting to think about but

I guess you’re right
