33rd Resurrection

[sanctus_dei]

[Theo wakes up the next day back to normal after his adventures of being 8 years old again. He also remembers being helped by a friendly boy with a familiar Brooklyn accent, and another little blonde girl with an English accent. Who now, in retrospect, were very familiar.

Weird.

Even weirder was waking up to a new person in the bed with him. The day before Theo would have been missing from the house completely, but here he is again. He checks the portraits, and sees they've changed to include a pretty woman about his own age into them. Great. Not feeling like dealing with this, he's going to try to slide out of bed carefully to make a phone call.]

Exactly what the hell happened yesterday? I know I wasn't the only one who got... aged backwards? What the hell even was that? Just Mayfield being goddamn annoying again?

Oh I'm sure that's it. They must be losing their edge though, if this is all they can think to do.

No...it doesn't really seem their style. Does it.

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

Yeah, pretty tame. Maybe they're losing their edge.

[hungry-monster.livejournal.com]

Or perhaps it's a trick.

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

Hnn? How so?

It was hardly something traumatic. Perhaps they wish to make us believe they're going soft.

They want us to believe it's safe to act rashly.

A false sense of security, if you will.

Not everything they do is traumatic though. A few months ago they locked us all up in a hotel overnight with our spouses, expecting us to have a romantic night, I guess. They did the same thing with the kids in town, but locked them up in cars at the drive-in I think. Paired 'em off in random couples and we were all trapped for 7 or 8 hours. Annoying but hardly traumatic. Then again, I suppose it does depend on who you were locked up with.

I see.

That is odd.

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

You never know what they're gonna do next. Too bad none of it is ever any fun.

[Well he enjoyed the chaos when the hazmats were running around.]

The only constant it seems.
