[ When the device turns on, it sounds like Alisha is fiddling with it, trying to turn it on. It takes her a few extra moments to realise that she has, indeed, found success. A deep inhale—one of exhaustion and annoyance—can be heard before she speaks ] What the fuck is going on? If we've somehow pissed off another goddamn freak I'm going to kill you, Curtis. Who the fuck goes after some weirdo who [ air quotes ] "apparently" [ end air quotes ] controls dairy or whatever the fuck and - [ Alisha inhales, suddenly realising that she's talking at a strange device she's never seen before. It's not Simon's phone, or Nathan's, Curtis' or Kelly's. ] Hello? Where the fuck are you? Curtis? Simon? Kelly? [ A long pause ] Nathan? [ Alisha goes for her phone, trying to turn it on. She frowns ] Why won't my phone work?

[ A pause, and this time Alisha's voice is angrier ] What the hell did you do to my phone, Nathan? [ She glares. As if that will give her an answer from the twat. ]

Fucking answer me, you twat!

[ A longer pause as she waits for an answer that doesn't come. Alisha starts to look anxious. ] Look, if this is about the boy in the locker - or the probation worker - we didn't do anything, alright? I don't know shit. Whoever the fuck is doing this, please stop. Whatever the fuck you want, take it, alright? Just tell me where my friends are.

Sort of.

I mainly rescued him from starvation.

[awkwards]

He's a complete twat! Half the shit we get into trouble for his because of him!

I'm guessing there are worse people out there than Nathan, then.

[awkwards]

Great.

It's kind of a relief to speak to someone who is not completely insane and likes this place.

Alisha Bailey.

[ You've caught her interest. ] What do you mean by extraordinary?

[ Alisha laughs ] I feel sorry for the cows, then. Kinda wish I got to see if he could really control them.

I'm Alisha.

[awkwards]

Jesus - has anyone gone home?

[awkwards]

That's fucking disgusting, Nathan.

Jesus, do you ever stop being a total prick? Simon isn't creepy, alright? These people must be insane to willingly be your friend.

Cursed into a cat! [ sdjfksld ] What do you do when you're ... [ frown ] not a cat?

Pleasure to meet you.

I've met people from home here that I never thought I'd get to see again. It's got unicorns at the zoo and some sorta races in the Underground. There's vampires and people from other worlds and other dimensions and time lines here. It's brilliant.

Well, yes and no. Yes, people've left, but no, it's not particularly at will. Least, as far as I know. I'm fairly new as well.

[designedtoparty]

What? It's true!

He's like the definition of creepy. The staring, the following you about, all that creepy shit he says... I have to wonder why we like him, sometimes.

I'm Campbell. D'you control anythin', Alisha?

[awkwards]

You do know he can't literally starve, right?

[awkwards]

Nothing good. Nothing like dairy.

Kind of got a stupid power myself, but it's more like a pain than anything useful, y'know?v

[awkwards]

Likewise, though kinda wish it had been where I hadn't spilled my dirty laundry.

Unicorns? Horses with the horn? The mythical things? They're real? [ sdjkfls holy shit ]

[ video ]

[awkwards]

Do you like it here so far?

[awkwards]

Maybe because he's saved our arses more times than we can count?

And he doesn't follow me around! He may stare at you because of your antics. He's just different to all of us, is all.

[eiremagic]

I know that now.

Re: Video;

[iam-thebadwolf.livejournal.com]

S'alright. M'a big girl.

Yeah. Brilliant innit? Didn't know they were real 'til here.

[designedtoparty]

Hey, he let me fall off a roof. He sort of owes me for that one.

Your own boyfriend prefers to follow other people around? I'd start watching out if I were you.

[signatures]

Absolutely, just make a note addressing them directly.

Whether or not they'll respond, though, is another matter entirely.

[Ah. There's an awkward shift in demeanor - still smiling, always smiling - but it's different.]

'fraid I'm the wrong bloke to ask on that front. ["Here" is all he's got left, so he kind of loves it.] 's not too bad, though. Entertaining enough, and loads of stuff we haven't got back home. It's an adventure of sorts.

Aye, well, I went over that wi' Nathan, if we mean the same one, that is, though I suppose I went over it wi' at least A Nathan. I'd rather have a shite power than none at all, I think. Though I guess some powers are even too useless for me to want. If it's no useful does that mean you're no a superhero either?

People get jobs! I have one delivering candy. But it's not that hard 'cause I can just VORP places. I know other people have jobs that are, like SERIOUS and stuff.

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

You're already making a believer out of me.

Oh yeah. So much weirder. Have you heard about the curses yet?
