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.

[Why isn't she surprised? She should be.]

Kei. You're a dear friend of mine but I don't know whether to laugh or wonder what you were thinking.

[livingimpaired]

I was thinking with a reasonable explanation they would sell me the doll. Of all the dolls that were being sold, that one looked like the highest probability of actually being cursed.

[ohrlyeh]

wait what did they say back to you? did you really write them

[livingimpaired]

Of course, I wrote them.
They didn't send anything back.
I simply got a notice a few hours later that my account was suspended.

CuteWillow996 is a coward.

[leaveittomother]

There are more cursed items on that site. Perhaps just wait for the next one to come up.

That said, I didn't think you were interested in such items.

[livingimpaired]

I send in an appeal to have my account no longer suspended. It is now permanently suspended.

I have very little interest in them. I merely had the thought that they would make good gifts for two people I know. One of which is you.

[leaveittomother]

You were going to give me a cursed doll?

[livingimpaired]

Yes.

[ohrlyeh]

that's so sad i'm sorry

the cursed doll sounds like a good gift

[livingimpaired]

It is annoying, and my account has been permanently suspended after I sent in an appeal explanation.
Apparently, wanting the doll more than someone else is no ground to e-mailing them about their win.
Nor should I have gone into so much great detail about the curiosity if a soul was actually trapped inside or not because that counts as human trafficking.
The soul is already trapped, eBay.
What other function does it have but enhance the sell?

I thought you would like it.
It was my wish to get you one, after all.
You and someone else.

[leaveittomother]

[What is wrong with you?!]

Ah, well. It would have been interesting at least.

[She likes alive cursed children, not cursed dolls.]

[livingimpaired]

[ Let us not open that can of worms. ]

I wonder if a soul can truly get attached to an object. I have never been a superstitious person, but the idea of it is fascinating.

[ohrlyeh]

yeah like come on you can get so much stuff off of it why does a trapped soul have to have this much ruckus around it

i would love to have one, you know i love collecting those things. thanks for thinking of me

who else likes them?

[livingimpaired]

Uncertain.
It is not even like they can prove it is there.

You are welcome.
I actually got the idea of seeing that zine, DOLL PARTS.

Ai Aoki. I am uncertain if you know her.
I can't say that she likes them, however, but she was an intended recipient.

[ohrlyeh]

oh i like that zine i got myself a copy of that

and i don't think i know her? but why were you going to send someone a cursed doll if you were unsure they were a fan of them

like at least give it to someone who would take care of it. waste of a perfectly good cursed doll

[livingimpaired]

Great minds, etc.

She is one of the few people I know that has a child.
If it is a doll possessed, being near a child might cause it to react more than around us.
Yes, I intended to get one, too -- why not?
I already was buying two so why not one more?

[leaveittomother]

[When another sociopath wonders about your sanity.]

Considering what we both remember it's a possibility.

[ohrlyeh]

tell the truth, was this like a "buy two get one three" deal

[livingimpaired]

There might have also been a deal with the seller.

[ohrlyeh]

i meant free but anyways, how many cursed dolls was this one person selling

[livingimpaired]

That is more something else's power rather than a soul independently possessing an object.

[livingimpaired]

Three.
They were a set and supposed to be kept together.
Which worked well.
Separate them across the city and see what would happen.

[leaveittomother]

It still raises the question of spirits, doesn't it?

[ohrlyeh]

did the seller say where they got them

like who just has a set of cursed dolls lying around

[leaveittomother]
