[gumthief]

[in an angry, clenched voice]

I want to change my loss.

[vampirize]

No can do, kiddo. We're stuck with whatever it is. Whining won't change a thing.

dictated

[gumthief]

I'm not whining.

Can't the ghosts do it?

dictated

[vampirize]

You were on the verge of it, so I have a right to say you are.

All the ghosts do is bring you things if you want. No, the castle is in charge of the whole loss thing, and believe me, it isn't talking.

dictated

[gumthief]

Oh, dammit.

Whining's for babies.

dictated

[vampirize]

And what, you're not? I don't hear anyone else griping about their loss around here.

[Tesla, why are you arguing with children, don't you have better things to do.]

[jimfromit]

And I want a private concert from Lady Gaga for a day...Whoops looks like we're both going to have to go without.

[gumthief]

From who?

[that's clearly the most important thing here okay]

[jimfromit]

God what are they teaching you children these days?

Have some of Jim's unique music taste playing over the journal.

She has the voice of an angel doesn't she?

[gumthief]

[Troo considers]

It's very modern.

I like it.

[jimfromit]

Glad to hear it.

Not surprising, but it's still nice to hear.

[mom_to_us_all]

[Written:]

You know what? Me too.

What is your loss?

written

[gumthief]

Something important.

Whats yours?

[mom_to_us_all]

A couple of brush techniques.

[gumthief]

What do you mean brush techniques?

[and let it be known that the only reason she could spell "techniques" was that Ammy wrote it first]

[mom_to_us_all]

[That's a great way to learn new words! But now how does she explain that...]

Something like magic spells. Very important to me as well. [Not even close, but she's found out it's the easiest way to explain it.]

[ruined_jaw]

If only it was that simple. Unfortunately, it's not up to us.

[gumthief]

[she doesn't respond vocally, but he might be able to sense her trying not to panic; she's never had someone speak directly into her head before]

[ruined_jaw]

[Were only Jono a mind-reader, but he's not. Instead, he takes the silence on the other end to mean that his conversational partner isn't used to telepathy.]

First time hearing telepathy? I apologize. I'm not able to speak as a normal person might, and writing in the journal's a bit too impersonal.

My name's Jonothan.

[gumthief]

[finally she speaks, sounding tense]

Leave my mind alone!

Written

[kidwiththeleash]

Can you actually do that?

Written; bad grammar and misspellings always purposeful

[gumthief]

I don't know but you should be able too.

[kidwiththeleash]

They should not happen at all, if you did not want to be here in the first place.

[gumthief]

Thats true.

Its not that bad here but there are some things I could do without.

[spiritusaequitas]

F'I knew how t' do the thing, I'd tell ya, kiddo. Y'arright?

[gumthief]

I hate my loss.

[she pauses for a second, then filters something to him]

[Murphy]

I forgot some things about my father.

[she isn't sure why she's telling him when she hasn't told anybody else-- maybe because he reminds her of home, with his name and accent]
