[it's taken her months of work... first getting the player, then scrounging around for batteries, and a long fruitless search for CDs in the city. Finally, after a genius piece of advice, she has everything she's been looking for.

Anyone with an open grimoire will get treated to this triumph in the middle of the night, in the form of some very loud... grating... music?]

Goddamn, this is better, isn't it? I've missed this so bad. [she's flipping through most songs before they're even halfway through. She doesn't have the patience to listen to whole songs right now--too wired, too excited with her new toy]

This place needs more music and less... fucked up shit. ...Seriously, what is it with dead people coming back to life around here? Is that the new 'thing' now?

[oh, actually, that gives her an idea. She switches to a new song and rocks out for a minute. Sorry to anyone who might have tried to shut their journal by now but lives on the second floor. She's sitting in the doorway of the room she never uses, CDs scattered all around her, music blasting into the hallway]

I mean, don't get me wrong. It can have its perks... [she gives one of those huhuhu laughs that usually follow dirty inside jokes. Hi, Gabe.] ...But it's mostly just fucking stupid.

...And, speaking of stupid, some bleeding heart should probably come check on the loser in 204. Don't think he wants me as a babysitter.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

But I am. Or are you just physically incapable of shutting up about things?

[tabbytastic]

[she just grumbles and busies herself with switching out another CD]

Whatever. Fuck me, for trying to help.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

That would totally be helping! Not announcing it to the world would be even more helping!

[tabbytastic]

Remind me again why you care so goddamn much?

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[he sounds annoyed, that exhale at the back of his throat. but since Tabby's too dumb to do anything about it...]

It's the guy that he offed. He's a friend of mine.

[tabbytastic]

[...oh, not the answer she expected. at all.]

Wait. So, it's for the other guy?

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Yeah. [got a problem with that? :|]

[tabbytastic]

Is this another one of those "don't touch him or I'll break your legs" guys?

[or whatever the threat had been. she forgets now.]

[birdsbirdsbirds]

No, he could probably break your legs himself.

[tabbytastic]

Oh. Great. [so flatly]

So are you worried about him looking for revenge or something?

[birdsbirdsbirds]

More or less.

[tabbytastic]

Whatever. I wasn't going to say anything else about it anyway. 'S not my problem.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Then yeah. People coming back to life is pretty fucking crazy.

[tabbytastic]

Well, one of them eventually went back to normal. Maybe the other ones will too.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

That's the hope... since he's more useless than ever right now.

[tabbytastic]

I meant go back to being dead.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Oh.

[...]

That'd still solve that problem.

[tabbytastic]

[....snerk.]

Heh.
