Oh, sweet Jane.

I had a dream that I was in a beach house with strangers, everything seemed normal, but there was something wrong. Weird things started to happen around the house, the lights kept going on and off, things would disappear and the weather outside turned cold. Someone outside started to dig under the porch and things started to get colder, in fact it started to snow. As more sand was pushed aside a body was reveled, half decayed, bloated, lips and the bottom half of the face pulled back to show off their teeth, like they were smiling.

It was like Pandora's box. Everyone could feel the evil coming off of the body. They went back inside, they went back and they wanted to leave, but they couldn't. The colder it got the more the wind picked up and from the ocean rose a monster, a Leviathan, and as it came out of the water it destroyed the house, forcing anyone left out into the cold.  The monster got the rest of them as they ran away.

Secrets that are buried rarely ever stay that way.

That's a...strange dream.

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

Yeah it really was, but I dream about dead people a lot.

[johncasey.livejournal.com]

Any idea why?

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

Mmmm, maybe it's because I use to think about dying a lot. Not in a I'm going to kill myself kind of way, but, you know.

[johncasey.livejournal.com]

In a...'what happens after all this' sorta way?

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

Actually about the people who have died, if they are sad or happy, or if they miss being alive. I use to think weird things when I was a little kid.

[johncasey.livejournal.com]

Hmm.

*with a bit of a shrug* Well, I guess we all think about death at some point.

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

Yup! I think people are scared of death because they think it's something horrible. I don't. OMG How is Japan?! O genki desu ka?

[johncasey.livejournal.com]

Well, the unknown is usually feared.

Japan is...interesting. Chuck and I met up with Hiro so now we're at his place.

The two of them are having their own mini science fiction convention or something. They're going on and on about movies and comic books. *rolls eyes*

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

Sometimes it can be!

Are you getting use to all the people and the very small things that are so totally adorable?

Laughs. Pooor Major! Is it really that bad or are you just exaggerating a bit?

[johncasey.livejournal.com]

*nods*

I'm sort of getting used to it. I wouldn't quite call it 'adorable' though.

I am exaggerating a bit. But Hiro's place reminds of Chuck's - lots of sci-fi posters on the walls and whatnot.

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

Well I think it's adorable because I'm a girl and everything tiny is cute. Okay, well not everything, but still.

I know it's rather small, I was surprised at that. Are you going to stay there or go back to the hotel?

[johncasey.livejournal.com]

You've...been to Hiro's place?

We're just going to stay here for a little while and then head back to the hotel.

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

Sure I have, it's not like traveling with him is very hard. Didn't I tell you that we're together?

Well that sounds like a very good plan, what kind of room do you have, is it nice?

[johncasey.livejournal.com]

You're dating him? You told me you liked him the last time you mentioned him to me but that's it.

I shouldn't really call it a hotel. It's just an inn. There's a room with those beds that are nearly on the floor.

I guess it's just part of the experience.

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

Yes, I am, of course we started seeing each other only a few weeks ago. I'm still kinda surprised.

Oh that sounds like fun! Wait you have some privacy don't you?

[johncasey.livejournal.com]

Surprised by what?

Not really. Chuck and I are in the same room.

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

That he and I are together, I didn't think he was into me.

Oh that stinks! How long are you two there anyway?

[johncasey.livejournal.com]

Oh.

A couple more days.

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

Are you okay, major?! You seem more quite then normal.

Did you go see any of the sights?! Eat any weird things?!

[johncasey.livejournal.com]

*shrugs* Yeah, I'm all right.

Some of the sights. We actually took a tour of the Tsukiji fish market and Chuck kept asking who ate some of the weird fish we saw there.

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

Are you lying? We have ways of making you talk. Steeples fingers.

That sounds like a blast, did you eat some of the weird fish? Ahhh I love raw fish.

[johncasey.livejournal.com]

Oh really?

A little bit, but not much.

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

Yes, and it's painful to make up for the fact that I don't have a voice.

What's your favorite food?

[johncasey.livejournal.com]

I can survive torture.

Favorite food? I like steak.

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

Not my kind of torture.

Do you eat it plain or with sauce, also, what kind of side dishes do you like with it?

[johncasey.livejournal.com]

Yes I could.

Mostly plain with a potato on the side. Why do you ask?

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

No one survives the tickle monster. No one.

Because I am freaking hungry, and I am living vicariously. Baked potato?

[johncasey.livejournal.com]

I will.

Yes, a baked potato. Now, go eat.

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

NEVAR! I WILL TRIUMPH!

You know how much effort that requires?

[johncasey.livejournal.com]

No.

Depends on how nice of a meal you want. Last I checked, placing a TV dinner in the microwave didn't take much effort.

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

Yes!

Would you believe that we don't have a microwave? Yup, we heat up everything in the oven.

[johncasey.livejournal.com]

No.

Why don't you have a microwave?

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

Yes!

Because my grandparents live in the dark ages.

[johncasey.livejournal.com]

No.

Well get them to a Buy More so they can buy one.

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes, yes!

You know the last time they were in a city with one of those was like, years ago. Seriously, the only time they leave the city is to go to the next one over to go to Wal*Mart.

[johncasey.livejournal.com]

No.

All right, fine. They could get them at Wal-Mart too.

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

Yes!

You are really all about the microwave, huh? Laughs.

[johncasey.livejournal.com]

No.

*shrugs* I guess my salesman side took over for a moment.

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

Yes! I win.

It's okay, just as long as you don't take a swing at me.

[johncasey.livejournal.com]

You do not.

I actually haven't hit anyone yet. But I did tackle a shoplifter.

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

I do too!

You told me about the shoplifter, goooo Major! I'm waiting for the day you deck a guy.

[johncasey.livejournal.com]

No, you don't.

If I actually do, I'll probably be fired.

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

Yes, I do! Stomps foot.

This is a good point, let him take a swing at you first.

[johncasey.livejournal.com]

*rolls eyes*

I'd be too tempted to swing back.

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

Makes a goofy face.

Well after he takes a swing at you, it would be self defense if you hit him back.

[johncasey.livejournal.com]

I could easily block his punch.

Of course, I could easily break his knuckles while doing so.

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

Well then that would release your need to hurt someone. Plus breaking knuckles is better then a punch in the face.

[johncasey.livejournal.com]

*shrugs slightly* Maybe.
