I hate my birthday. holy cats, I hate it so much. Andrew keeps talking about doing something and um I just don't have it in me to tell him that I really don't want to. like really at all. I don't even want anyone to know. I just. don't like my birthday. if I was really lucky everyone would just forget and um, by everyone I mean Andrew, because I doubt Warren remembers? but seriously why can't we just pretend it doesn't exist. that would be for the best. um. really.

I'm still waiting for something bad to happen. um. maybe I'm sabotaging myself, but. yeah.

um I feel like there should be a state of the Babylon address or something, I don't even know. Rule 42 is doing really well, um, Warren is rebuilding gaming consoles so we should have those soon. I hope. but yeah it's fun and we could still use more interviewees if anyone is interested. you don't even have to be a main character from your series, we're like, compiling as many of them as we can. like a Babylon yearbook! or, you know. something like that.

also if we don't want to use our free pet coupon (because um, I have enough with Menchi eating my head and Tesla being you know THE DEATHPUPPY, why are my friends insane?) can we just give them back or something? because someone else might want it. or I could just give it away to someone on here, um if for some reason someone wanted another pet.

I think that's it. I lead a really fun and exciting life?

Oh, I've heard of that. I bet your world was scary, then. Vampires and all that stuff.

They pulled me out of a show called Pushing Daisies. Which is funny in a morbid sort of way if you think about the fact that I can bring the dead back to life with my finger. Good thing I'm not morbid.

[magicbone]

um, kind of. the normal stuff was scarier than that. then again, I'm messed up.

you can what

You don't seem messed up to me. Well, no more than anyone else here I've met. So either that's one point for you on the normal front or a huge blow to the rest of the population.

I touch dead things like people, animals, and plants and they come back to life. And then I touch them again and they go back to being dead. And if I don't touch them again a second time, after sixty seconds, someone or something equal to the dead thing dies in its place. It's a...thing.

I think they hand-picked us because we were all weird and brought us here in some sort of fantastic experiment on how much bizarre you can cram into one dome before it explodes from it's own insanity. Just a theory I'm working on.

[magicbone]

um, I could explain but I think I've learned my lesson about saying stuff where I shouldn't, so. um. just believe me.

that's. um. holy cats. isn't that kind of um. morally gray? but cool I guess. that must be hard.

you'd like my friend Warren.

[nedmakespies.livejournal.com]

Probably. Trust me, I wish I didn't have it. I try not to touch anyone, living or dead. And I don't form bonds with people any more than I have to so that I'm not tempted to bring someone I care about back at the expense of someone else. I did that once, with my mother, before I knew what would happen, and...well, it was a disaster. I learned my lesson, too.

Why, does he think we're all crazy, too?

[magicbone]

yeah um resurrection was never one of the superpowers I wanted when we played those games. it just. seems like it would come with too much baggage. I mean it's bad enough here when you were supposed to be dead and then you're not and um, that's not even really the same as what you do but wow, I'm really sorry. um. that pretty much epically sucks.

in a way? he just has a lot of theories about that stuff.

[nedmakespies.livejournal.com]

It's not all bad. I used it to help a friend solve murders (it's easier when you can just ask the victim) and then I'd touch them again before the sixty seconds are up. Though I guess if you really wanted to think about it, it could be like I was "killing" them a second time. But I tried not to think about it like that. I tried to imagine that I was helping pursue justice or something.

That's pretty much my only theory. I try not to think too much about things on a large scale. It's pretty much just I bake pies and wake the dead. It's a very sheltered life.

[magicbone]

well um. I guess that's okay if you're a good guy. detectives are good guys, right? oh my god that could get really complicated, never mind.

I don't think about it either. mostly it's just oh cool, my friends and I were in a tv show kind of like how we always wanted to be but um, that comes with a lot of complications too. so. yeah. someone will figure it out eventually I guess.
