bffpoltergeist | [Audio/Commentlog]

[Liz isn't sure what's going on or how the heck she ended up in the room she's now standing in, but she is nore than a little bit alarmed. The last thing she remembered was helping Chloe escape the Edison Group's facility. The chaos of the demon summonings and people dying ..]

[She looks around the room, only vaguely taking solace that this place looks different than any of the Edison facilities she's been in so far.]

[Then she sees the journal sitting on the small desk and walks over to it. She's not thinking at first and simply reaches for it, expecting her hand to pass right through it .. when it thumps right into it.]

What??

[Cue Liz just kind of staring at the book for several moments before lifting it to read.]

[She spends the next several minutes figuring out how to post something.]

Umm .. Hi, am I doing this right? Wow .. okay, this is really crazy. And I mean really crazy, and please believe me when I say I know crazy.

Ahh .. [She trails off, watching as the words appear in the journal as she says them.]

Okay .. that's cool .. not even going to lie about how cool that is. Does it work like this for everyone? Umm .. is there an everyone? I mean, this is way too advanced for the Edison Group .. So, there's other people here too, right?

Umm .. okay, so .. introductions, I guess? My name's Liz .. annnnd .. I guess this Deior guys is a pretty powerful wizard or something right? 'Cause .. I'm supposed to be dead ..

[Unfortunately Liz hasn't tried to open the door yet, or she'd find that she's quite possibly still very much her former ghostly self. Someone is will likely suffer a pretty big disappointment when she realizes things aren't quite as they seem..]

Hi, Liz. There are lots of everyones.

You know crazy, huh? Sorry, but your gonna get more familiar with it here.

And your not a zombie or something, right? Cause I think everyone's had enough of those.

Oh and I'm Claudia.

[Liz's eyes widen just a bit as she receives a video response this time instead of simply audio as she had been.]

Whoa .. Like .. that's wicked cool! I know you're not, like, a weird spirit or something, but this is totally like a dvd or something .. Sooo cool!

[It takes some fooling, but soon enough Liz has the video function figured out and is beaming up brightly from Claudia's page.]

Oh, wow .. this is, like, wicked neat! Yeah, um, hi, Claudia! [She waves, still beaming.] I know crazy, believe me .. but it, like, doesn't surprise me to hear that things are pretty weird here, too.

[She then pulls a face and shakes her head.]

No, definitely not a zombie .. been around plenty of 'em in the past, but that is sooooooo not me.

[Waves back! Her tone is playful.]

At least someone realizes my greatness. Making video posts is only one of my many talents.

So, how well do you know crazy? ~~[You two on speaking terms]~~

[She's surprised but hey that means there is so much less to explain.]

You already know about zombies? Hey, you'll do great here. Normally it takes forever to convince them I'm not making fun of them.

[Liz looks more than a little relieved to actually see another person, even if it's just through some weird video feed through the journal. She grins brightly at Claudia's quip, nose wrinkling in amusement.]

Wow .. if that's just one of your talents, I better buckle down and prepare myself for, like, grandness, right?

[She grins a bit wryly then, giving half a shrug. The latter might not have been voiced, but liz picks up on it.]

Well, there was, like, a time I thought I was legit nuts .. Like, totallllllly bonkers .. but it turns out that was what the folks that ran the Lyle House wanted me to think .. I am, most definitely, not bonkers! All the stuff that I thought was, like, some crazy poltergeist was just my own telekenisis being all out of control. I got that worked out after I died, though, so no fear!

[Doesn't that just sound a bit scary?! :D]

[She actually laughs and shakes her head.]

Noooooo, I totally don't need convincing about zombies .. they are, like, most definitely really real.

[A moment's pause and she looks just a bit uncertain.]

Are there, like .. a lot of zombie issues here?

[Cause Liz kinda sorta has a bestie by the name of Chloe who kinda sorta raises the dead and it's happened by accident before ..]

[She grins happily, and teases her.]

You should. I'd tell you to fasten your seat belt, but there aren't any cars here.

[Hey another crazy person! Awesome! And she only caught like half of that because her focus was on the first part.]

You thought you were nuts too?!? I mean, mine wasn't because people tried to convince me, but still. Why would they want you to think you were nuts? It's not exactly all that helpful.

Wait, what did you work out?

[She was being really relaxed about all of this. She must not have been joking about the craziness of her world. Sucky for her]

No, they're gone. You just missed them, so good timing.

[Liz pulls a face ..]

Ugh .. is this place, like, entirely as primeval as it sounds? I mean, I heard there are, like, games on the fourth floor of the library or something .. But just how much technology is there here?

[Then she brightens and eyes Claudia curiously.]

Too? So you thought you were bonkers? [Then she's distracted by the question of why and off she goes into explanation world!] Oh, well .. they figured it was easier to explain my being at a group home for 'troubled' youth if I thought I was bonkers. You know, keep me all twisted up, so I didn't, like, ask questions .. I thought I was going crazy, cause stuff kept happening around me .. things flying through the air and breaking .. BUT, turns out it wasn't, like, a poltergeist or anything .. I have telekenisis .. I can, like, move things with my mind. Buuuuuuut, I like, couldn't control it and they couldn't control it, so they kinda sorta killed me.

But then I, like, totally had full control of it .. only I was dead .. Which was kinda a bummer, but not too bad once you got used to it.

[She pauses to breathe here .. was that a bit much to take in, Claudia? You did ask! :D She also doesn't look terribly upset to have missed the zombies, actually shuddering a bit.]

Ugh .. no worries .. I will get over the loss, for sure.

That's it! The games aren't bad though. [Remembers the less fun tech] Oh and there's a washing machine, and a fridge. I don't know how I've survived this long. Did you bring any with you?

[She way to relaxed about explaining her brush with insanity.]

Ended up in a psychiatric ward. I kept seeing my dead brother calling to me. I thought I was hallucinating, but it turned he was just trapped in a inter-dimensional bubble. He's fine now.

[huh]

So they told you that your nuts, then killed you, cause they're D-bags and now you're dead but your fine with that? Cause your powers work?

[She had to have gotten that wrong. Cause seriously, wtf.]

But why didn't they want you asking question? Questions about what?

[Liz's eyes widen as she takes in everything Claudia is telling her. She's sure her own story sound just as zany to Claud and vice versa.]

Wow... sounds like you know almost exactly where I'm coming from!

[She shakes her head and then makes a face, explaining to clear up the confusion.]

My telekenisis started, like, working fine once I became a poltergeist. It was kinda a bummer, but at least it was working, right?

As to why the Edison Group killed me in the first place... They work for the Cabal and the Cabal is trying to enhance the abilities of supernaturals through genetic modification. I, unfortunately, was a failed experiment and couldn't control the powers I didn't realize I even had. So...

[She swipes a finger across her throat and pantomimes being dead.]

Easier to keep the wrong questions from being asked if you, like, kill the one asking them.

[She laughs]

Looks like we need to start a club. The psychiatrists are wackos and aren't allowed near our brains club.

[Hey look someone that just as messed up as her! She sorta pleased about this.]

At least my doctors really thought I was nuts. Seriously what was wrong with yours.

Genetic modification? And they wanted you to think you were crazy? Should have looked in a fraking mirror.

[Liz laughs, her smile turning wry.]

I could, like, bring in a few other members right off the bat. We're not particularly a 'happy to have our brains messed with' group, you know?

[Liz feels exactly the same way, Claud! It's not often that people just kinda get where she's coming from. It's a huge relief on so many levels.]

Yeeeeeeah, right?! You'd think they;d realize the same thing!

[Ugh stupid people in her world were just ugh!]

Oh great they did that to even more people? Please tell me they got theirs before you got sucked here.

At least the nut-jobs in my world just try to take over the world.

[Liz nods, but her expression isn't altogether happy.]

There were, like, six of us at one facility at one point. Two of my friends are here, too... We were pretty sure the Cabal had any number of, like, other locations where they were doing the same thing to other kids. We took care of the guys that had ahold of us before we got away, but we still need to track down the others.

[The last earns a snort of laughter and a smile.]

Well thank goodness for, like, small favors!
