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.]

I couldn't resist the Discworld-logic XD

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

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

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?

Hey, even if it doesn't the blanket's a good distraction :|b

Oh, I think I get it. Wow, that isn't the kind of philosophical question I would want to answer at one in the morning with a blanket over my head.

True XD

Nope. After they get confused like that, I generally just push them out of my room and they just wander off and hide behind some door until they've got their bearings back. It's the easiest way.
