1st Song; Written & Dictated

[The majority of the post is written out in carelessly sloppy, but still legible, handwriting.]

New place. Interesting. I'm not really sure what the point in writing in here is, but whatever. Looks like I'm not the first person who's had this boo--

[And then the writing stops, and there's a very angry voice.]

Where is my bass?!

Welcome to the castle. It takes shit.

dictated

[vampirize]

Probably in loss heaven where everybody else's stuff is.

Forever!

[losttrack]

Not cool!

forever!

[losttrack]

What does that even mean?

[vampirize]

This place takes something from you, whether it be a thing, a memory, even abilities...and god knows where they end up. They're called losses, so hence, loss heaven.

Ditto! :)

[i_got_this]

I know, right? Worst welcome ever. It took all my bullets and replaced them with nerf ammo.

[losttrack]

What? That totally sucks! I mean... It can't just take stuff!

:)

[losttrack]

Man, if this place knows what's good for it, it'll bring me my bass back.

[vampirize]

It does. If you'd like to take it up with the castle, be my guest.

[i_got_this]

Yeah, no. It doesn't. It only knows how to mess with us.

[losttrack]

Well, now I'm gonna mess with it!

[losttrack]

You bet I will!

[i_got_this]

Good luck with that, be sure to tell me how far you get before you fail.

[vampirize]

Are you going to do it now? Can I see?

[Because THIS IS GOING TO BE SO HILARIOUS OH MY GOD]

[losttrack]

I'm not going to fail! I'm going to tea--

Hey, what the heck?!

[losttrack]

Well, I was trying!

[i_got_this]

Hm? What now? [Sadly, South is amused that this other woman is getting so worked up.]

[losttrack]

I can't shapeshift, or even set anything on fire!

[vampirize]

You should try harder. The castle has bad hearing, you know.

[i_got_this]

[There's just a brief pause, because South's not familiar with these kinds of abilites and it's still a little disconcerting, but then she can't help but to laugh at the other woman's misfortune.]

Oh man, the castle messed with you good, didn't it?

[losttrack]

...Hearing?

What the fudge do you think I'm doing?

[losttrack]

It's not funny!

[i_got_this]

Actually? It's hilarious. [Okay, just give her a moment to calm down and realize hey, wait, isn't this a little weird?]

Well, okay, it's just that ... usually it only takes one thing, far as I know. You've lost like what, three?

[vampirize]

Yelling at it? That's what it seems like to me.

[losttrack]

Is not!

[Huffy sigh.] It seems like I've lost most of my powers, so maybe that's... One thing. Or half a thing? I can still levitate...

I don't know what's up with my bass. I mean, maybe it just didn't come with--

[Oh wait.]

Hey, do you or this place have a name?
