@BOO, text—

[hiyakai]

k but what am i getting for $120?

[maoa]

[ she doesn't recognize the name, but if they're on the network it means they're part of the network. somehow. they're someone she'll be in proximity to, anyway. ]

depends on why you're asking.

[hiyakai]

curiosity (:

[maoa]

all right, gonna give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you just don't know and that wasn't a come on: it's a type of knife.

[hiyakai]

oh
like a hunting knife?

[ yep, he just didn't know. not much of a weapons kinda guy. ]

[maoa]

[ in fairness, she doubts it's knowledge people tend to have offhand if they're not a hunter or a serial killer. or the descendant of one. ]

yeah, exactly.

and you're what, a ghost?

[hiyakai]

sure
the name's casper 👻
spooky right?

[maoa]

oh yeah. i'm shook to my core.

[hiyakai]

but noooope not actually a ghost
just got a bit of an appreciation for jumpscares

[maoa]

you don't want to talk about movies, do you?

[hiyakai]

i'm not much of a movie buff
so no

you're free to rec me some though
i'll check them out whenever i manage to get outta these woods (:

[maoa]

thank god.

there's not really anything you can watch them on here. but if you're still in the woods, stay away from the water.

[hiyakai]

what's wrong with the water?

[maoa]

it tries to trick you into drowning.

[hiyakai]

did it almost get you?

[maoa]

yeah.

[ he doesn't ask how, so she doesn't say. ]

[hiyakai]

it wouldn't happen to be a siren, would it?

[maoa]

it wasn't singing. i'm not sure what you'd call it in that case.

[hiyakai]

what did it do to lure you in?

[maoa]

made it look like someone else was drowning.

[hiyakai]

a tricky monster

[ shame it isn't a siren though. they're so hot. ]

thanks for the heads up
i'll be super duper careful around water

how's the commune?

[maoa]

feels like that's standard, yeah.

it's weird. [ she's not sure if it's weirder that she's taken so well to her role or that she's stayed in spite of it, but there's also people here who haven't left that she wants to watch out for. ] how did you hear about it?

[hiyakai]

the other newbies aren't exactly being discreet about it on the network

what's the hierarchy like in there?
