If we sleep in the Ikea, does it count as haunting the place?

[ hi alex we're in the ikea and it's just the massive bed section, a sea of a showroom with various bedroom sets on display. his jacket rustles and out pops a tiny head as he takes a drink from a mcdonald's to-go cup. ]

[camena]

[ immediately: ] Nope.

[ and then instead of elaborating on that-WOW! a secret baby???? ]

Aww, who's this lil guy?

[silicone]

Sick.

[ he flops down immediately on a bed to sit, leaning back on his hands. meanwhile, topper is happy for attention because he is Baby and clambers out of eiden's jacket to say hello! secret baby. ]

His name's Topper—a friend from home. I woke up with him.

[camena]

[ she very tentatively offers a hand to sniff. that's what you do with cats and dogs so??? ]

Cute. [ .... wait this probably means topper is dead too. hmmmmmm let's not comment on that. ]

Anyway, we've gotta sleep somewhere, and it's not like we'd be bothering anyone. Right?

[silicone]

[ we're continuing our killing pets streak. eiden also refuses to comment on the fact that topper is dead. meanwhile, he just leans in and sniffs her fingies before rubbing against her hand with a happy chitter. ]

Yeah, I mean, why bother spending money on beds when there are a bunch of couches and beds here? There's even food.

[camena]

[ hehehehehehe okay she'll give topper a little pet on his head, then draw back. ]

We shouldn't even have to eat or sleep. If we're dead. At least, that's what I think.

[silicone]

[ he accepts and then scrambles to run circles on the bed for a bit before settling. ]

Why let us buy food and beds then... seems dumb.

[camena]

Buying a bed with nowhere to put it is pretty stupid in general...

[silicone]

[ he stares at his phone ]

Some special bed for dead people, but it's a scam, I bet.

I'm Eiden, by the way. [ he's dead, not rude. ]

[camena]

If we're floating things being a scam, doesn't this whole set up seem pretty fishy to you...?

[ ... ah well. ]

Oh, right. I'm Alex - nice to meet you.

[silicone]

[ blinks ]

You're floating things? What?

[camena]

Like, ideas. Floating ideas! Ugh.

[ that ugh was a little bit mean and unnecessary. alas. ]

[silicone]

[ he knows when he's earned it. ]

Right! Right—sorry. I'm... used to people who can literally float things. It's the first thing I think of sometimes. But hmm...

It is pretty weird, though. Only weird rich people do this kind of thing. Kidnapping randos and making them do crazy stuff. Feels like a movie...

[camena]

... What?

Wait, go back to the first part about literally floating things.

[ SHE'S A NORMIE. WHAT DO YOU MEAN ]

[silicone]

[ help ]

I ended up getting sucked into this place where magic's real and some people can make things float with magic...?

[camena]

So you're not even from a magic place?

You just keep getting thrown around to new places, like that place and this place? That's rough.

[silicone]

Yeah. Just from like... normal old Earth. And I've only been sucked into the one place, thankfully.

[ ????? ]

I've been stuck there for a while. Met some really cool people... hard to miss home sometimes when you're caught up in it all.

[camena]

Huh. I can see that.

It's like—it'd be hard to be too down if you're having a good time somewhere new.

[silicone]

Yeah. It's just... complicated.

We're here now though, so. [ he lifts his arms up ] New rules I guess if we're playing this dumb game.

[camena]

Right. New rules...

[ that's so hateful. ]

But even with the rules laid out, we still don't know enough.

[silicone]

[ big hateful ]

Like what exactly is the "bare minimum" in the game, and the weird rulebook on top of it all...

[camena]

How are we supposed to know who we want on our teams if we don't even know what tasks we're going to be given?

[silicone]

Exactly. It's shady when you can't read the contract before signing it.

[camena]

[ she laughs but it comes out more... tired than amused. ]

But it doesn't matter. No backsies.

[silicone]

Not with death.

... bummer...

[ topper just kind of squeaks sadly. ]
