7th Joke - At Least Someone Is Laughing [Action | Multi]

[xochipilli_cursed]

[[Aaron has been laying low since the little note incident. Though even that worry was shelved in light of a few new problems.

First his drone sister gave him his Christmas gift. It was a picture of two little kids. Fraternal twins, a brother and sister. Aaron is not pleased with this gift but tucks it away in a journal he bought for himself. He'll spend a day in his room calling out of school sick.

Second issue came after he got a card in the mail. All it said was, "Ha, ha, ha!" Since then Aaron hasn't slept well. That would explain the bags under his eyes and drifting off during the day at least.

Of course third was Percy. He went to visit him and found him acting strange. People had told Aaron about droning but this was his first real experience that hit home.]]

[[You might catch him during one of the following over the next few days.]]

A)
[[Aaron is awake anyways. Before the sun rises he is out delivering gifts. Certain people will find little wrapped presents that say "From: Aaron" on them. Merry Belated X-mas miss_enma_ai, dodo_master, evers_hacker, hungry_monster, generose, and doastheromansdo!]]
((Tag for your gift! If not I'll get you later.))

B)
[[Aaron goes to class. He'll probably fall asleep in several of his classes at some point. Any student feel nice enough to wake him up before the teacher catches him? Any teachers notice?]]

C)
[[He doesn't stick around between classes to hang out like he usually would. He heads straight for his next class and tries to keep conversations short.]]

D)
[[Aaron is at work at the bowling alley. Every now and then he'd find a place to hide and try to just rest his eyes a moment. Not even five minutes later he'll awake with a start and get back to work. He seems far too stressed out for this job.]]

E)
[[Aaron is stalking Percy Jackson. Not approaching him, just watching him and unsure what to do. Just kind of hoping Percy will snap out of this and everything will go back to how it was.]]

F)
[[Aaron is out at night trying to do anything other than stopping and falling asleep. He'll be jogging down the streets, exploring the park, and generally keeping mobile for as long as he can before having to give up and return home.]]

"Still want me to come with you even if I hear voices when I sleep?"

[miss-enma-ai.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

"Good."

[miss-enma-ai.livejournal.com]

[Nods.]

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

"So did you get anything nice for Christmas or was it all bad too?

I heard others got nice things."

[miss-enma-ai.livejournal.com]

From the town?

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

"Yeah."

[miss-enma-ai.livejournal.com]

Two things.

[She opens her hand and a small flame appears.]

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

"Woah!

That's kinda cool actually."

[miss-enma-ai.livejournal.com]

[Nods]

Would you like to see what else they gave me?

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

"Sure."

[miss-enma-ai.livejournal.com]

[Holds out her hand.]

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

[[Blinks at it a moment. If it doesn't do anything like make fire this time he'll take it.]]

[miss-enma-ai.livejournal.com]

[It does nothing. The fire is gone now.

And the moment he takes it, she'll take a hold of it.

And then they're in her room.]

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

"WOAH!

You just teleported me!

That... is... cool!"

[miss-enma-ai.livejournal.com]

[She nods, walking over to the side. She's been here for over a year so her room has been highly personalized by now. There is an old computer in the corner, a rather nice drawing of her companions on the wall, and a few toys here and there.

She walks over and picks up two straw dolls. There are three others on the table. Each straw doll is a different colour.]

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

[[He walks over to look at them.]]

"Those are kind of neat."

[miss-enma-ai.livejournal.com]

My companions take this form when we are at work.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

"They become straw dolls?"

[miss-enma-ai.livejournal.com]

One of them will. When a person contacts us, I will come and see them. One of my companions will go with them, in the form of a straw doll with a red thread around their neck.

When the person pulls the thread, they bind themselves into a convent with me and I will then carry the person they hate to hell.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

"Sounds complex.

So if I went with you I'd be one of those dolls too?"

[miss-enma-ai.livejournal.com]

At times.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

"So do they ever try to talk these kids out of it?"

[miss-enma-ai.livejournal.com]

We are not to interfere.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

"Oh. Who makes the rules?"

[[He's curious of course. He jumped on this train without a second thought.]]
