[pause of a minute or so.]

Whoops, sorry. I didn't know my journal was sitting there.

This probably means we're going to have monsters under our beds this weekend too. Be careful, everyone. I think getting a flashlight would be a good idea for anyone that doesn't have magic and who doesn't want to sleep with a weapon close to hand. The one I found seemed to hate the light as much as the spell I hit him with.

And if the light itself doesn't work, you can always wallop them with the flashlight. It should still make them think twice.

I wish they weren't in our houses. Those are supposed to be safe from monsters. [some pentaps go at the end of this sentence and then she crosses it out.]

[ooc: The monster under Krile's bed? A nine-foot centipede thing. Fortunately not the actual specimen.

Housemates, feel free to have heard, smelled, and/or seen a small lightning strike in Krile's room in the wee hours of the morning.]

Y'alright Short Stack?

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I got it before it could nab me. You didn't find any new friends, did you?

[speeding]

Not that I noticed but I'm sleeping on the roof.

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

I don't blame you. At least the rain's cleared up.

[ruby-nova.livejournal.com]

That monster was scary!

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

Ye Sure wasn't what I wanted to see at this hour. He seemed like all looks, though.

[His hand is an uneven one--either he's writing with his left hand or he's medicated. He's supposed to be cooped up in Wellspring right now and I don't know what injury he's getting yet therefore BSing is a go since I want to comment on this. XD]

Got it, did you? Try throwing a blanket over them next time. Preferably a fluffy one. Stops 'em right in their path, the poor sods.

[speeding]

Throwing a blanket over them stops monsters?

I couldn't resist the Discworld-logic XD

[stonyfaced.livejournal.com]

That's right. It works best on boogeymen, but I've found it works on a lot of the other creatures popping up. Everybody knows that when you put your head under the covers, monsters disappear, right? So when you put them over their heads, they have one of those, those.... what's the word again?

[Tap tap tap.]

Oh, yes. Existential crisis.

hell yes Disclogic

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

Really? I don't think I've heard of monsters disappearing just because you hide from them. But I'll have to remember that for tomorrow night!

What's an existential crisis?

He will be very apologetic if it doesn't work for Krile XD He got a boogeyman last night

[stonyfaced.livejournal.com]

It only works if it's a blanket, for some reason. It's just one of those things.

Well, I said that when a person hides under the covers, the monster isn't there anymore? Well, if you throw the covers over the monster, the monster isn't too sure it's there anymore. Understand?

[live_ringer]

[Centipedes? In MY Edensphere? It's more likely than you think.]

Over at your place too, huh? I'd love to know what the bu[bubble smear] have against letting us get a good night's rest.

I'm guessing you got him good, at least. ...And hopefully didn't burn down much in the process? [Judging by that burn mark, he's assuming flame of some kind.]

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

Well it's awfully rude of us to be sleeping when they're looking for a midnight snack. You [pause how to write without sounding overly worried] didn't have any problems, did you?

I hit him with a thu li thunder spell, so the only other thing that got hit was the journal. I really wasn't expecting it to take care of the thing so quickly, but I'm glad it did.

[live_ringer]

Yes, how thoughtless of us. And I'm fine, though I've found bullets have little effect on a goo creature. Startled it enough to get it to back away until I got to the lamp, at least.

...Wait. You can summon electricity with a spell? [Yeah, he should be used to this sort of thing, probably, but... still, news to him that Krile can do this.]

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

Ugh, goo creatures are annoying like that. Definitely get a flashlight then--at least it didn't get a chance to slime you.

[Oh please Gene, that's not even the weirdest aspect of her.] Yeah, but I just found out that one tonight. I have a few really handy magic spells I've remembered this way.

[longnosedliar.livejournal.com]

You guys have got them too? Man... I hate these things. I'm tempted to just sleep outside until these monsters go away.

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

I'd want to as well if it hadn't been rainy the past few days. They sure can't leave quick enough for me.

[longnosedliar.livejournal.com]

[Speaking of raindrops, there are raindrops falling on this page.]

I think I'll just brave the rain. The stupid thing ruined my room, anyway.

He has the best "FML" expressions

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

What was it--were you able to get a good look?

[crowsloveapples.livejournal.com]

Are you ok, Krile?

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm just fine. I was able to get rid of the thing with just one spell--it was a lot weaker than I expected.

You didn't have anything under your bed, did you?

[of-mindelan.livejournal.com]

[Peach was lucky enough not to get one the last time. She's less lucky now.

It was a robotic rat thing with a suspicious similarity to a killing device, and she woke up long before normal because every animal in her room... there are a lot of them... hates the thing. She had to undo the legs of her bed to bring the frame down to pin it, leave, borrow a mace from someone, come back, smash the thing, bring the mace back, come back again, and completely fail to get back to sleep.

So between lack of sleep and verybadpings - it shrieked like a small child and there was vapor when she smashed it, even if she didn't get a good look at it, and it was basically unrecognizable after - she's in a bad mood. And expressing it the way she usually does.]

Does this happen often?

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

[...ouch. Poor Peach. :< ]

Monsters? No, actually. Not as often as silly things like clothing changes, at least. But it's still enough that you should be ready for it.

Did you have any problems?

[of-mindelan.livejournal.com]

Which means picking a primary weapon. I'll get on that. [Expect more dithering at the weapons store, only today it'll be less dithering and more total lack of expression while looking at things.]

It's all handled now.

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

All right.

Okay. I'm glad to hear it.
