[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.

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.

[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...

[chenqing_player]

Ugggggg....

[But at least now he is rummaging for milk in his frig while the teddy bear tears around the apartment behind him.]

Next time I do this, I'm using something without legs.

[serpentinthegarden]

Yea... I can see that, me getting a frantic 5am message because your pillow decided to suffocate you. Don't you ever speak to any nice spirits?

[chenqing_player]

I can't exactly control who shows up. Basically I put out the call and whatever happens, happens.

But I think most people like that have moved on and their spirits are just roaming around. It's the restless ones that are just waiting for their chance to do something.

[serpentinthegarden]

So it's basically a chatroom... shit. There's no way to block a bad user?

[chenqing_player]

[He has a small carton of milk at least so he pulls that out and goes in search of a mug.]

Yeah...a chatroom that is open 24 hours and I'm lucky that i have figured out a way to log out once in awhile but have no actual control over who enters.

[serpentinthegarden]

[ Thumbs up at the milk carton. Smaller is better for kids anyway... if this was actually a kid.]

Maybe it's something you can learn? Or at least call up a few of those psychic hotline people and get a few pointers...

[chenqing_player]

Seriously? Aren't most of those people just scammers?

[He is the last person who should have any sort of doubts about supernatural powers at this moment..]

[serpentinthegarden]

I wouldn't trust Ms. Cleo... but some of them are real.

[chenqing_player]

I think I'll just deal with this versus trying to find the one person who actually has psychic powers.

[Sets the milk on the table and finds an apple...he really doesn't have any cookies so this snack is going to have to do.]
