F T F O I: ::screams, body arching and raising into the air:: Krissy 80: eew. F T F O I: ::floats in mid-air, limbs dangling:: ::a scratchy, echoing voice calls out:: Balance ! F T F O I: ::screams again, flailing wildly:: Krissy 80: this is.. unpleasant. F T F O I: ::his body wretches in mid-air:: ::lanyards sprout rapidly from his bald head and grow past his shoulders:: F T F O I: ::his arms, chest and legs grow stronger, more defined:: ::the voice repeats:: Balance ! Krissy 80: this is getting creee-py. ::backs away, first slowly, then quickly steps off:: F T F O I: ::his skin glows briefly before he falls to the floor in a heap:: Krissy 80: ::pulls out a Remington rifle, and pokes at Rob with it:: F T F O I: ::the rifle passes through as though he were a ghost:: Krissy 80: oh my. F T F O I: ::shudders involuntarily:: Krissy 80: ::makes skkkkk sound:: Houston, we have a problem. Krissy 80: hey bud-dy. what's up? F T F O I: ::slowly comes to:: Krissy 80: you're all wurbly, wurbly... F T F O I: ::looks slightly confused:: ::stands up:: Holy shit... Krissy 80: ooh. ::pokes the rifle though him:: Krissy 80: you've gone all incorporial. F T F O I: ::looks down as the rifle passes through him:: I can see...It's understandable, though Krissy 80: ::stops poking:: why? F T F O I: well, he was talking about balance and all... and I had a feeling I'd end up here Krissy 80: he? he?!? ::swipes the rifle around a bit, then fires it into the air:: what the hell are you saying?!? ::brings the rifle to bear:: F T F O I: I don't know who he was, but I hadn't really seen or heard him before. I knew he was there all along, but, somehow... Krissy 80: who is this mysterious 'he'???? don't get metaphysical on me, air-boy. F T F O I: ::sighs tiredly:: I don't know! I told you. I never met him. He was obviously some kind of higher power, but there's nothing you can use to describe him here, the other side isn't like all the preconceived crap you hear. Krissy 80: him him him... wait wait wait... if you can't describe him, now the hell did you know it was a he.. ::gets a funny look:: was it a giant floating dick? F T F O I: his presence was male, at least around me. Maybe he...it...can change forms Krissy 80: ooh, sexy. now.. why are you all wurbly-not-there? F T F O I: I've been like this since the last time I was here Krissy 80: actually I meant the incorporialness. F T F O I: that's what I'm talking about. Krissy 80: oh. um... what was the last time you were here? F T F O I: It was a long time ago...you tore out the doll from my jacket and burned it on the stove... Krissy 80: ::twitches:: me? did I? F T F O I: no, it wasn't YOU, it was Masochist. Rob. Whoever. The JLS in any event Krissy 80: ::backs away slowly:: no good can come of this... F T F O I: I really have no idea what anyone means... last I remember I see reen's subconscious slipping into this portal, and then he comes and talks some crap about balance. F T F O I: Then all of a sudden I'm back here...there was another portal...I thought that I was going through it both ways at once, but it wasn't me...it was him. Masochist. Only he didn't end up where I did... Krissy 80: wh.. who... who are you? F T F O I: Me? You don't remember? ... I'm Masochrist. Krissy 80: ::shrieks and runs away:: F T F O I: ::walks through the walls to get to the main room, shaking his head:: Damned Leaguer's.
