[There are dark circles under his eyes as he turns on the phone, looking like he is ready to punch something.]

Okay...so...I know we are all kind of getting used to the fact that we have these powers. And I admit I was kind of hoping I would be left out of getting too many of them.

[He sighs and pokes at a stuffed animal that has decided to jump up on the bed beside him. Yes...that teddy bear is moving by itself.]

Well...is there anyone out there that isn't afraid of ghosts and might be willing to be a chaperone while I make sure I don't summon a 100 foot marshmallow man?

[That teddy bear suddenly smacks the phone out of his hand and there is a black out for a moment and a small scuffle while he tosses the bear off the bed and reaches down to get the phone. His face comes back into view.]

Yeah, I'm definitely going to need some help before my whole apartment gets overrun by angry stuffed animals. So if there are any takers...let me know.

Why, my dear, are you inviting spirits to possess your toys? Might it not be better to summon them into something significantly less, ah, mobile?

[chenqing_player]

Well...to be honest I didn't think it was actually going to work. I thought maybe it would just talk or something. But it doesn't even do that. It just harasses me.

[serpentinthegarden]

That is a thing...

Were you trying to create your own Chucky or did it just happen?

[chenqing_player]

Just thought I would give some of these powers a try. I figured it might talk...did not expect that it would start running around the apartment instead.

[serpentinthegarden]

Keep them away from the knife drawer.

Do... Do you know who is possessing it?

[chenqing_player]

Yeah...good idea. [He's going to be moving to the kitchen now to actually move the knives to a higher location.]

I don't actually know. It hasn't said anything. It just runs around driving me crazy.

[serpentinthegarden]

Driving you crazy like it wants to play or driving you crazy like it's tearing the flat up?

[chenqing_player]

Um...both? I don't think it necessarily wants me dead so that is a good thing. I mean...I did give it a body..kind of. But it also isn't really listening to me when I tell it to not do something. Not that a teddy bear can really do much damage...

[serpentinthegarden]

Sounds like you won't have to worry about it trying to strangle you in the middle of--...

[ Crowley stopped and leaned to one side like he could look past Wei. ]

It can climb?

[chenqing_player]

It has arms and legs so of course it can...

[He stops and turns to look behind him to see what it is that Anthony is looking at and frowns.]

Get down from there! Why would...arg...

[He looks back at the phone.]

Every time I try to grab the damn thing it runs away...I guess so I can't undo the spell.

[serpentinthegarden]

It sounds a lot like a kid. Maybe if you... gave it some milk and cookies, told it a bedtime story and put it to bed you could get close enough to unhex it?

[chenqing_player]

How am I supposed to feed a stuffed animal?

[There is a heavy sigh. If this is what it is like to have kids it is confirming his desire to never have any.]

Do I even have milk...

[To the fridge he goes...]

[serpentinthegarden]

[ He couldn't help the smirk. ]

What's wrong... think he might be stuffed?

The milk should help take the edge off that hyper thing it has going on to make it sleepy, but if you don't have any milk you might have to play a game with it.

[chenqing_player]

[Normally Wei Wuxian would applaud his use of humor but this just gets him a look of 'seriously?' His nerves are too shot for this.]

The way this thing has been running around, it should already be tired.

[seawalled]

You know I said I'd help you if you needed it, Xian. Count me in ... though I don't know much about ghosts at all other than the stories we throw around at my batty step-aunt's house.

[chenqing_player]

I don't think you need to know much about them but it will help if you aren't scared of them. And at this point...maybe you can get this guy to settle down.

[Because clearly the bear isn't going to listen to him...]

[seawalled]

Well ... I've got two kids in this other life, I guess. And I've always been good with my mate's boy back in Wales. I can give it a shot. Where're you at?

[chenqing_player]

My apartment. I live next to Anthony. If you can convince this guy to settle enough for me to remove the spell then it will already be a huge help.

[seawalled]

How'd I not know you're right next door to us?! Goodness. Soon as I get out of work I'll pop right over.

[actionspam ok?]

[chenqing_player]

Because I'm a good respectful and quiet neighbor.

[He grins because he knows there is some truth to that...but perhaps not the quiet part.]

I'll see you soon! And thanks.

[go for it!]

[serpentinthegarden]

[ Your welcome. :P ]

Maybe... but when kids get hyper they tend to stay hyper until they finally crash.

[chenqing_player]

Maybe I should just leave him in the apartment then and find somewhere else to sleep. Because clearly he has more energy then I do.

[Of course that could backfire and it could get out and then it would be a demonic teddy bear running around the city...but at least it would be out of his hair.]

[serpentinthegarden]

You can't just go!

[ Says the demon who should be encouraging dalliances... Whatever. ]

What if it is a kid's spirit? It might get lonely.

[chenqing_player]

And what if it is just a serial killer that is taking it's time to torment me before it drives the knife in my back?

[He doesn't think that is the case but honestly...he has no clue.]

[serpentinthegarden]

All the more reason you should wear it out and put it to bed quickly...
