Finland? Are you busy today? I was wondering if you would like to... [Pause. Invitations never were his thing.] W-Well... I was wondering if you'd want to swing by for coffee. It's been awhile since we've talked with each other.

[/End filter]I understand that people come from different worlds. Do you have fairytales where

[she is pinged by mythical creatures.]

...It sounds a little strange, but in my world there are folklore spirits called 'oddities' that possess people.

[bornwithskison]

Oddities?

[iinchoucat]

Yes. Spirits, devils and sometimes Gods that attack, possess or curse people. [she giggles light-heartedly] My best friend had a very strange luck with meeting a few people with these problems and he helped them with a mediator.

[bornwithskison]

It sounds interesting. I've never heard of creaures doing that before except in fiction--At least the ones from my country.

[vaimoksein]

[Oh. Well, crap.]

Would it be too much trouble if you came over here instead?

[bornwithskison]

It's not any trouble. ...Ten minutes?

[vaimoksein]

Sure! I'll try making coffee for you.

[bornwithskison]

Be there soon.

[He hangs up, and true to his word, he's knocking on his door ten minutes later.]

[wise_king]

I wonder how many don't realize that those mythical creatures actually exist.

[bornwithskison]

It depends if they believe or not.

[wise_king]

Belief has nothing to do with it. Artificial blinders do not make things unreal.

[bornwithskison]

If you don't believe, how can you be sure they really exist? I've heard people tell me that when I was a few years younger.

[After a moderate pause of silence]

The Snow Queen. She lives in a palace of Eternal winter.

[clears her throat] Or that's how the story goes.

[bornwithskison]

... Sounds like General Winter.

[glasscaseflower]

Does he lure children from their homes into the snow, as well?

[bornwithskison]

Russia knows more about him than I do. ...I know he causes blizzards. Makes people get lost. They eventually die from the cold.

[flipaflapjack]

Well, there's the tale of the Dock Hag!

[ ... ]

Unfortunately, it's pretty real.

[bornwithskison]

Dock Hag?
