i'd say 'formatting will come later' but we all know that's a lie.

[ she's felt it in the past day or so, coming back to her gradually, like when she was a teenager. it's like a void she's felt since arriving here is very slowly being refilled. she still can't move anything metallic, but even something as small as being able to sense it has been an immense relief. ]

Yeah, I have. What about you?

( it was slow for him, too. his vision slowly blurring out, and not because he wasn't wearing his glasses, but because he was. hearing things outside the house, then down the street, and then farther than that.

and of course, the return of catching things and uncanny senses to put him exactly where he needs to be. )

yeah. it's not exactly like i used to be, but still
it kind of reminds me when my powers first showed up, only in slow motion

[chromiums]

Yeah, for me either. It's been gradual, but at least I can feel it if they try to sneak razor blades in candy again.

What do you think happened?

[webdesigned]

well that's for sure a bonus. my senses should warn me about something like that, too? maybe?

i really don't know. i didn't do anything special, i don't think. i've just been bumming around and trying to get my bearings. i helped someone that got stuck under the frozen pond but other than that

does this mean it'll all come back?

[chromiums]

I would hope. What do they usually sense?

I didn't either. I helped hide a body. I've tried to acclimate. Should we ask what others have done, or if they've noticed things coming back?

I don't know. I hope so.

[webdesigned]

kinda... kinda hard to explain. they warn me about bad things that are going to happen. usually i am fast enough that i can do something about knowing that it's gonna happen but uh, that part hasn't come back yet

also, wait a second, you HID a BODY???

[chromiums]

You remember those snowmen that kept popping up around town? They were hiding corpses.

[ a few seconds later after reading that back: ]

Ones that were already dead when we found them, not ones we killed ourselves.

[webdesigned]

jesus
but wait, why did you hide it, instead of reporting it?

[chromiums]

Honestly? I didn't trust the police to do anything about it. I don't know if you remember anything from Halloween, but there were things like razors and poison in the candy. We tried calling to report it and got told to knock it off with the crank calling.

There was a guy who came by when I tried to knock one of the snowmen over. He helped me take it out.

[webdesigned]

i guess, but dead body is a completely different scale of police inaction.
whoever that was has to have had a family, right? and now they'll never know what happened.

[chromiums]

[ geez son way to guilt trip her. ]

I don't know. Do you remember how fast those snowmen were appearing? Like if you turned and looked back, two more would appear to join the first one. I looked them over and I couldn't see any way they could have died.

[webdesigned]

isn't that all the more reason to get the police involved?
look i don't love the police either, but a huge pile of bodies with no obvious cause of death? an autopsy might give clues on how they died, or help figure out who did that

maybe not, i know everybody is pretty suspect around here, just... i dunno. even if it was pointless, i think it'd have been worth it to try.

[chromiums]

[ look, burying the body wasn't her idea, she just didn't have a better one. crowley seemed to know what he was doing and she doesn't trust this place, aside from those who don't belong here. ]

I'll keep it in mind if I come across another dead body, I swear. In the meantime I'm not even positive what we found was human.

[webdesigned]

what makes you say that?
