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.

No. You would still be a person, though I wouldn't agree with what you're doing.

Why should being strangers mean I can't worry for someone?

[livingimpaired]

Because it is opening your heart to many people who would betray the trust you're giving to them.
Are you certain that you're strong enough to accept such pains?

[dornen_kiste]

I don't know. But I don't think the fear of that should keep me from caring about people either. If I did, well, I would never get to know anyone, now would I?

[livingimpaired]

An interesting way to view caring about strangers.
Sometimes, people want to know people simply because they seem worth knowing.
But you wish to know people through your kind feelings, hm?

Well. If that is your decision and you've accepted it, I'll do what I can to have us no longer be considered strangers.

[dornen_kiste]

Oh, I want to know people simply because I find them interesting too. But I think getting to know anyone means coming to care for them a little, in some way.

I look forward to it. What do you do, when you no longer wish to be strangers with someone?

[livingimpaired]

So you take the second step with the first step -- interest and caring.

I suppose I attempt to get to know them better.
That includes talking to them more.
Spending time together.
Surprisingly normal things, right?

[dornen_kiste]

Heh, not surprising at all. That's just how you get to know someone.

So would you maybe like to get a cup of coffee sometime? Or a drink, if that's more your style.

_{[ Not that Yogi was a big drinker, so he would probably be sitting there with a coke instead. ]}

[livingimpaired]

Coffee is fine.
And my schedule is messily sporadic.
So, if yours has more rhyme and reason, you can choose the time that works best for you.

[dornen_kiste]

Uh, yeah, I suppose I have rhyme and reason. Can I text you later with some good times?

[livingimpaired]

Of course.

[dornen_kiste]

Okay! I'll send over some options by tomorrow.

[livingimpaired]

I look forward to it, but fear I will disappoint.

[dornen_kiste]

That's okay, because I don't think you will. I'll talk to you tomorrow, Kei.

[livingimpaired]

Until then, Yogi.

[ What a friendly person. Will he end up tired out? ]
