a question for ye fine folks this night

what be this

[ hello! yes, this is ferret. she is at her usual handmirror in the bathroom, as near to the light as she can possibly get. she shifts around a bit, then raises her left forepaw. on the main paw pad, in dark ink, is a tiny tattoo. it's dainty, only about a couple of centimeters across, but fortunately this mirror has perfect focus, so visibility shouldn't be a problem as she shoves it towards her audience. after a moment, she lowers her paw and cuts the feed. ]

tis a knot to be sure
and the google tells me tis called a reef knot
but it doesnt signify why its on my paw
answer me this
no blithering numskull chatter if ye please

[ and that's it because another please would most certainly kill her. ]

03 ✝ [video; laptop computer - morning]

[dancingonapin]

[Coming over the video feed is a rather concerned Dr. Francis Fell who, while not looking any worse for the wear in a physical way, seems considerably freaked out.]

I think all of this is starting to get to me. The talking animals, the physically morphing people, these weird pulses and all of the oddities that go with them, actual government conspiracies, and now weird lights appearing in the sky related to some mystical garbage I can't even begin to comprehend? On top of the stress built up from unrelated dangerous incidents that have happened to me these past few months.

Thanks to those damn lights, I had another pulse, a strong one, and now I can't sleep. Or rather, I don't want to sleep. Or rather, I've found that if I try to go to sleep I get this overwhelming feeling that I'm not allowed to sleep or shouldn't be sleeping caused undoubtedly by some odd paranoia and sense of duty to remain vigilant in these trying times.

The first two days I started feeling this, I managed to force about three hours of sleep each night. It is now seven in the morning and I have not slept for five days straight, and somehow I am able to function perfectly fine as though I have been getting my eight hours. I think this is actually scaring me more than if I was dead tired and turning into a zombie.

I think I need to see a doctor?

[ Anyone who knows Ellie will probably be surprised to see that she's posting via video. Though since she's an insular, cagey little shit the significance of this will be lost on most people.

Still. Video it is! The feed doesn't seem to be showing anything interesting at first - even disregarding the fact it's really dark out, it's just pointed high up between a couple of buildings in the dead district - but after a few seconds:

PCHOO. A small hooded figure hurtles through the air, aided by some kind of belt-mounted propulsion system and a set of twin grappling hooks. It's almost Spidermanesque, if Spiderman had a jetpack and a passion for extreme sports. Here's a handy illustrative gif!

After pulling off a couple of fancy loops that are clearly designed for the purposes of showing off, the figure swoops to the ground. She's holding her hood down to cover her face, but that doesn't do anything to hide the fact that she's super tiny. And has a wonderful, beautiful nose. She approaches whoever is recording the footage, holds out a hand and orders them to "give it here" before the video cuts out.

A few seconds later, a text message is apended to the footage. ]

If anyone remembers using anything like this, or killing giants in general, they should speak up.
If the "Vermaxi" ever do start appearing, a list of people who can fight them off effectively would be useful.

Livening Up That Mall Fountain

[italktofish]

Who: Arthur Curry and Richard Locke
Where: The mall.
When: The evening of October 1.
What: Arthur needs water and he needs water BADLY. The fountain looks good.
Warnings: Arthur's probably going to get himself kicked out of the mall in much the same way he got kicked out of the marine park.

( Maybe he just needed some change? )

[Alex has the too-bright eyes, rumpled hair, and slightly manic expression of the feverish (the verging-on-delirious, in fact).]

Wow, my head feel-zuh really funny, nee. Like funny ha ha. Ha. Probably 'cause, cau-zuh, other-me had to have brain surgery.

Hey, I can grow extra eyes, eye-zuh, now! Who wants to see?
