apping to cape_kore? wat am I doing

[notkid]

Uh, alright, that was sudden. It's not really a problem, it's just been a while. Two years, actually. Can you believe it?

So I guess I wasn't joking that time I said I was going to pull a toxoplasma and just hang out in the recesses of your brain until the end of time. It's cool that you thought of me, though, because it was getting kind of boring back there. Not that -- uh. You know what, though, I'm not sure about this place. I'm thinking about all the other people, here. There's no Night Watch there, right? And no Night Watch means if things accidentally, uh... get out of hand, we're all... kind of... screwed. Like screwflies (ha) in a room full of bleeding howler monkeys screwed. Not to rain on your parade, or anything, but... just saying. Just... looking out for the community.

You're the boss, though, I guess, so we'll see where this goes! Hopefully it won't turn into a horrific nightmare and everything will be just fine, said no one ever.

Maybe you oughta look out for yourself! Maybe the community will fuck you up. What is Night Watch even?

[notkid]

Cool, I feel welcome already. That's fine, though; I figure the beach is pretty, at least. Hey, that is some dye job. [ WHAT NIGHT WATCH ]

[gloryisbullshit]

Thanks. I just love Manic Panic. We can have a slumber party, I'll give you your own, huh?

[notkid]

No thanks, I got over the hair dye thing when I was seventeen.

[gloryisbullshit]

This isn't a phase, mom.

Hey. Hey. [Snaps his fingers, focus.] Night Watch.

[notkid]

[ Ow, hey, those fingers are loud. ] Um, it's not really important? Just a weird local organization, y'know, like Neighbourhood Watch. At night. Manhattan is very safe!

[gloryisbullshit]

Safe from you, sounds like. So what are you, child molester? Serial killer?

[notkid]

... Wwwwow, I really set myself up up there, didn't I. Uh. Neither of those things. At all. Ever.

[gloryisbullshit]

You sure? Cuz I'm happy to Night Watch your ass into the dirt, if you need that to feel better.

[notkid]

Yeah, totally not necessary, but thanks. I'll just take the unfriendly town greeting.

... I guess here it doesn't matter, so. I'm sick. Ta-da.

[gloryisbullshit]

Sick and twisted or sick and nasty?

[notkid]

Sick and... marginally dangerous? Like I could unintentionally start an equivalent of a zombie apocalypse by sneezing on someone... type sick. Except I never sneeze. So maybe if someone accidentally used my toothbrush.

[gloryisbullshit]

Ew. Get drugs.

[notkid]

They don't exist for this, funnily enough. But I'm great at being careful, it's not like I leave my toothbrushes lying around. Did I mention that on the plus side, I'm basically superhuman? Because on the plus side... I'm basically superhuman.

Realize that if this were a real place, you would probably be the last person I'd tell this to. No offence.

[gloryisbullshit]

Uh, yes, offense. I'm offended. Why would you hide your superhuman? Baby, that's a gift. Are you sick with superhumanity? I think you're fulla shit.

[notkid]

I'm actually sick with a parasite that should make me a ravenous, cannibalistic killing machine, but instead just has me on a constant adrenaline high and constantly craving red meat, but close enough, yep.

[gloryisbullshit]

Shit, well I'll share that toothbrush. Someone hasn't counted their blessings, obvi.

[notkid]

Sure, I'm lucky. Lucky because that only happens to, like, one percent of the human population. The others just lose their mind and turn into monsters, and... uh yeah, that's where that Night Watch comes in. ... And while we're on that subject, that's actually where most monster myths come from: vampires, werewolves, zombies. All started by peeps. ... Which is a nickname. Not the Easter candy...
