Journal Entry: Day 51

[irish_bombshell]

So, I haven't really used this thing much (it's creepy that you all can read what I'm writing here, okay?), but I've found something odd and I was wondering if anyone else had come across anything like it

MORSE CODE

[house_onthehill]

[These are taps, short taps are tap, dashes are TAP]

... --- ... STOP
-... --- .-. . -.. [space] .- ... [space] ..-. ..- -.-. -.- [STOP]

[Fiona looks down a the journal, startled. The last thing she expected to come across was Morse Code. It made even less sense that the message was seemingly... meaningless. She can't help but wonder why anyone would bother taping out that they're bored in morse code, unless they're at the most epic level of bored ever encountered. She ponders this for a moment before writing back.]

All though I appreciate how... difficult it can be, being bored and all, but is it really necessary for you to swear in my journal? I am a lady after all.

Rping with yourself is AWKWARD.

Um, hi, Fiona is it? Just butting in here to, well, explain. House is blind, thanks to one of West's deals and I'm honestly surprised he managed to write, or rather tap, so successfully on a journal entry. I'm not really surprised that he tried, though why he chose morse code and not to just write blindly, well he was probably just showing off a bit. Anyway, my point is, it's doubtful that he knows he's writing in reply to anyone's entry. More than likely he just opened his journal to a random spot and started... tapping.

Please don't take offence. Really, it could've been a lot worse.

I too have found a mask, though this one is not burlap. It is white, very plain. And as you mentioned, there is an urge to put it on but I admit I am wary. It has been thoroughly demonstrated that West is not to be trusted.

And yet, I have not gotten rid of it.

[irish_bombshell]

So, there's more than one kind of mask out there then. This really doesn't seem like a good thing, especially if it's a common thread to want to put them on. Still, it makes me a bit curious. Why would West want us to have these things and want these things? I'm failing to see the point of all this.

If it is like he says, and we're merely here for his entertainment, what happens when he gets bored with us?

[ifthegluesticks]

I would hope that we would simply be sent back where we belong, though I fear the reality would be much less ideal.

It cannot be for anything good, that is for sure. He is not exactly the postered child for Good Samaritans.

[irish_bombshell]

I agree. I've dealt with egos like West's before, and it's never a good thing. I've also never had this many problems dealing with those people before either. It really isn't sitting well with me.

[jusonepistachio]

I've got one too. Very festive, though. Gemstones and glitter. Reminds me of Mardi Gras.

Wonder what West is up to with this whole Masquerade thing.

[irish_bombshell]

Well, if all the masks were like that I'd think he were planning something a lot like Mardi Gras. If my math is right, it should be around that time of year now. Hard to tell though.

It's a shame. Typically I love a good party, but something makes me think that 'West' and 'good party' don't belong in the same sentence together.

[jusonepistachio]

I think you're right about the timing. It makes me miss home a little, actually. Well, not home home, but where I grew up home. New Orleans. My uncle Teddy, he had a bar, and Mardi Gras was always our busiest and craziest. It was great though, and drunk co-eds are really, really good tippers...

[irish_bombshell]

You're from New Orleans? Lovely town. I went to Mardi Gras once just before I moved to Miami. All the drunks in the street reminded me of St. Patrick's Day back home... except more glitter and beads. A lot more...

[csi_eric_delko]

I found a mask too. Also very Mardi Gras ish. A jester. And I have this feeling like I wanna put it on but that creeps me out so I haven't. Meeting Jane didn't help any. Does anyone else think this all isn't real and just some nightmare that we're all stuck in?

[irish_bombshell]

Hey, at least your mask sounds pretty. Do you know how weird it is wanting to put a burlap sack over my head? It's a little too much like being taken to an interogation. I mean, it's really not my style, and yet, I find it strangely enticing.

Either way, I have the feeling that no good can come from this.

[csi_eric_delko]

I'd be HAPPY to play an audience if you wanna roleplay that burlap some. lol

[irish_bombshell]

Ohhh well aren't you a charmer! And a man after my own heart. What kind of roleplay were you thinking of? *wink*

[alec_hardison]

Mardi Gras? Seriously? I found a mask too but the last thing I'm thinking is Mardi Gras when I look at it. Just black and white but mostly white. Seems harmless enough to put on. I'd stay away from the burlap though. Makes me think of The Scarecrow in the Batman series. Unless you're really into nightmares.

Maybe your Jane is onto something. There have been episodes of the Twilight Zone that had something to do with dreams.

Oh, my name is Hardison by the way. Alec Hardison. Heyyy.

[csi_eric_delko]

Right. My name is Eric Delko.

Twilight Zone? Scarecrow? Batman? ...'Nightmare' is starting to sound about right.

[irish_bombshell]

Nice to sort of meet you Hardison. Trust me when I say wearing a burlap sack over your head is not a pleasant thing to do. I know realistically that it's not really something I want, and yet. It's like when first notice your front door is rigged to blow and you just can't wait to check it out, see how good a job the guy did, what he equipment he used.... Uh, I mean, it's oddly tempting, though I know it's probably a bad idea.

Eric, I forgot to ask. Who's this Jane? You end up meeting up with someone from your life after all? Do tell!

[alec_hardison]

I'd say likewise but I don't believe we've met. (I don't know your name!)

Yeahhhh. I'll take your word for ...all of the above.
