[Dictated]

Hey. Hey book people.

[There's a tapping sound as she taps at the page, wondering if there's an 'on' switch or something]

Where's a girl gotta go to get a change of clothes around here? A decent change of clothes. I don't want to run around looking like a Disney Princess reject, because the last time I checked, they didn't have a Princess Awesome.

[More tapping]

C'mon, book. Where's your frickin' on switch?

Don't worry, the journal is on no matter what...it doesn't have an off switch, not really.

And as for your question, you can go down to the town! They have a few good stores there for shopping and such. Or you can just wish for them- the clothes, I mean.

[sawyourwolfjunk]

Okay, second question; how do I get Disney moolah?

And nuh uh. I'm not wishing for anything. Brain-sucking castle isn't getting a taste of my zombie treats.

[thehangedrose]

That's...a good question, actually. I just look at the clothes there, really, not buy them... And what's Disney?

That's understandable. I'm not too comfortable with wishing, myself. Though, if you really need clothes that badly...[And he takes a deep breath.] I can sew some up for you. I design stuff in my spare time and I'm good with a needle and thread, so.

[sawyourwolfjunk]

Well, I need something other than what I was dragged here in to change into. Last thing I want is to waltz around to the 'I reek' song.

... Really? You don't know what Disney is? Ouch.

Don't take this the wrong way or anything, but... what kind of 'stuff' are we talking about here? Floral print pantsuits? Farm dresses? Muumuus?

[thehangedrose]

[A little disgusted sound.] Oh dear, we definitely don't want that!

And no. Is it something important?

Oh, I'm-I'm not picky! Dresses, coats, suits...you name it. Mostly on the more artistic side, but if you describe what you want, I can make it for you.

[sawyourwolfjunk]

It's cute on crack. That's about the best way to describe it.

... Artistic?

[thehangedrose]

That sounds rather...vague.

[Now he's never going to be sure if Disney is a good thing or not.]

I'm kind of trying to get into the art world from where I come from...so I thought I would do it with fashion. But I can make ordinary things too. Kind of have to know that, in order to make the things I design...

[siebter]

I bet if they had a Princess Awesome, she'd be really cool!

[ino]

There's some stores in town that have clothes. But your closet should come up with stuff you like, too!

dictated;

[downright]

You should know that the journal's always on when it's opened. Might want to make sure it's closed when you're trying to have a private conversation with someone unless you don't mind the rest of us listening in.

[sawyourwolfjunk]

Well, maybe I'd have to take a look at what you can do first. I'm picky too.

[sawyourwolfjunk]

If it was Disney? Probably not. They'd ruin it by de-Awesomizing her with something like a froo-froo dress or singing chipmunks.

[sawyourwolfjunk]

Yeah, that requires wishing. I'm staying the hell away from that.

[sawyourwolfjunk]

Really? Huh. Good to know. Not like I'm going to be having any heart-to-hearts with anyone, though. And I'm pretty sure I don't talk in my sleep.

[Except she does if she's drunk. Shh.]

[downright]

No one from home here?

[sawyourwolfjunk]

Nope. Well, not that I've seen. And I mean, on the one hand, yay. But on the other... massive boourns.

[downright]

You seem to be well-adjusted.

You human? [ Pretty much the standard question around here, after 'what year are you from' or 'what planet'? ]

[sawyourwolfjunk]

[There was almost a snort at both remarks]

Yes. Are you? [Hey, if he was going to ask, so could she.]

[downright]

Last I checked.

Sometimes the castle likes to turn us humans into some kind of animal, insect or... weird object. [ Totally got turned into a Ken doll once. ]

Welcome to Para, I guess.

I'm Chase.

[sawyourwolfjunk]

Are you saying I'm going to have to worry about waking up on all fours? This is just freakin' wonderful.

[And out comes the scowly face]

Yeah, welcome my butt.

Kenzi.

[downright]

[He chuckles. ] Don't worry. Most don't remember their four legged experiences so... there's that. [ He won't tell her how this guy got turned into a cockroach for a whole month. ]

So, Kenzi. Are you Japanese?

[sawyourwolfjunk]

... Why do I get the feeling that just means I'm going to do something embarrassing if that happens?

[Because really, she needed to make new friends here by humping their leg or something. God.]

Japanese? No. [Pff] A little too east.

[downright]

Good to see that you're finally getting the idea of what this place is about. The castle just loves messing with us. If you stick around for the holidays, Christmas and Valentine's day is usually one big damned soap opera, and thanks to whatever you end up doing then, there's potential awkwardness for the rest of the year with you and whoever you did whatever with. [ Reasons why Chase shouldn't talk to newbies. ]

So it's a nickname then?

[sawyourwolfjunk]

Whoa, whoa. I don't plan on doing anything with anyone, thank you. Embarrassing or otherwise.

[Little did she know she didn't have much of a choice. Oh, but there would be much bitching and whining when it happened.]

No. It's my name, Chase.

[downright]

[ Won't tell her more about the castle's evilness. ]

My first name's Robert, but everyone calls me by my surname.

If you need some clothes--[ And he sees that you're not a fan of wishing for things either. ]--I can lend you some money and you can head into town.
