A mini-flurry of owls from Dib

[dib-worm.livejournal.com]

Nny,

Hey. Just an FYi, I'm staying at Hogsmeade for the time being. Things at school are just... too weird for me right now. It's not like we have any -classes- or anything anyway... And Devi thinks I look like you too.
I took Rigel with me, since he needs food from the village anyway.

Just in case you were wondering where I was,
Dib

PS: Dare I ask how things are going with you?



Luna,

Luna, everything's gotten so... complicated and I thought I could deal with it all, but I can't. So I'm hiding out at Hogsmeade until I get my head on straight. I've been hanging around the Three Broomsticks a fair bit, so if you want to see me, I'll meet you here.

Why does everything have to be so complicated?
Dib



Devi,

...I'm trying to give you space to let you think about things. But there's something I do want to know while you do...

Did you say no to me because you're scared of me or scared of yourself?

Dib

(attached to this owl is another small bag of dark (normal) chocolate from Honeydukes, with a card reading "To keep the darkness at bay" in Dib's handwriting, as well as a single white rose.)



Professor Grant,

My tribble seems to have stopped eating. I'm not sure if it's because it's scared of the devil Nny gave me, or something else. It was eating heavily before Rigel (my devil) arrived, but they seemed to have gotten along fine and Rigel's pretty quiet-natured.

Any ideas?
Dib



FB,

This is sort of random, I know. We haven't really talked since the Fillerbunny Day party, but I remembered that we had talked and gotten along pretty good there, and I -really, REALLY- need someone totally neutral to talk to about some things.

It's just... I'm so confused about a lot of things right now...



Prima,

I miss you

Dib


((OOC: Will be responding to other dangling threads - hi ZEX! and Tommy! - a bit later today. I'm finding I can't focus my attention on the comm 24/7, so it's easier to respond in short concentrated bursts of play a couple of times a week. XD Anyway, to the owls!))

FB,

What about the kind of love where... you love a bunch of different people all at the same time, but in lots of different ways and some of them sort of overlap and smash into each other and you're not really sure how to seperate them or keep everything straight, plus a lot of the love that you're feeling is the kind of love where it's really BAD for you and you shouldn't want it but you do anyway?

(After a very long delay, FB's return owl arrives.)

mister dib

gosh. it sounds like it would be better if you didnt i dont know much about that kind of love. i thoght love made people happy. i know miss river and doctor stephen sometimes arent happy but mostly they are and they would really not be happy if they were not together.

how is the bad love bad for you?

FB,

Love hurts. Physically. Uhm... I mean, one girl bites me and drinks my blood, and one of the alien guys that says he loves me wants to do.. uhm.. sexual things with me that I don't know if I'm ready for and the other alien that I don't care about really honestly I don't I swear just likes to beat me up and make fun of my head.

And even my friends here kinda hurt me by saying painful things sometimes and you'd think I'd be totally USED to all that by now -I used to have a thicker skin- but I think I let my guard down after I got here and now I wonder if I'm caring too much again.

Plus, I took an aging potion and now I'm five years older so that's kinda weird too.

Dib,

I think... I dunno. I wanted to talk to you about that again, actually. Is there somewhere we could meet sometime?

-Devi

p.s. Thanks for the chocolates - they're very good.

[dib-worm.livejournal.com]

Devi:

Meet me here in town? Or somewhere else if you want. You pick.

Dib

[lp-drumline7.livejournal.com]

Dib,

Sure, sounds good. Where the hell are you right now anyways?

-Devi

[dib-worm.livejournal.com]

Devi:

Hogsmeade. Been staying at the Hog's Head. Don't tell anyone though, okay? I can meet you anywhere you want in town (http://www.hp-lexicon.org/wizworld/places/w_pl_hogsmeade.html).

Dib

[lp-drumline7.livejournal.com]

((Well, THAT is a nifty site...))

Dib,

Why have you been staying a
The Hogs Head sounds fine - convenient, even. I'll be there in a bit.

~Devi

[dib-worm.livejournal.com]

((I <3 HP Lexicon. I'm sure it's not all inclusive, but it's pretty good for this sort of purpose XD))

Devi,

I'll meet you outside. It kinda smells like goat in here.

See you,
Dib


After sending this owl, Dib hurries out of where he had been lurking over a butterbeer at the Three Broomsticks to sprint over to the Hog's Head.

He really IS staying there, he just wasn't there at the time he started sending owls! He catches his breath, leans on the wall underneath the sign and waits. He's out of school uniform, wearing big buckled stomper-boots, black pants and a magicked t-shirt with a changing front-panel -it currently reads "I'm not sick but I'm not well".

Dib,

Where'd you go? I haven't seen you anywhere and I've been looking and we should probably talk.

Primavera,

I... really needed to think. Alone. About stuff. Everything. Aliens and love and that my wrist hurts.

I'll... be back in a few days, hopefully. It's probably better I stay away a little longer, actually.

Dib

[missprimavera.livejournal.com]

Dib,

I don't think about any of those things. Life's easier that way.

xoxo
Primavera

[dib-worm.livejournal.com]

Primavera,

Since when has my life ever been easy? I've heard some of the radio stuff. You and Ron...?

Dib

[missprimavera.livejournal.com]

Dib,

It's easier to just do things.

Oh, that. Ron thinks I'm his girlfriend. He doesn't do ... what you do. Anyway I don't want a boyfriend but Ron is funny. Don't tell him I said that.

xoxo
Primavera

[dib-worm.livejournal.com]

Prima,

I'm.. I dunno. Sorry? that he doesn't do that. I don't know if I'll be able to it's hard not to stop wanting but I know I have to things are different now any more. But on the other hand I'm going to be looking for permanent age-up now because things have changed.

Dib

[waste-lock.livejournal.com]

Dib-

No one's been giving you a hard time, have they? And you do, which is kind of weird.

Nny

P.S. Fuck, I don't even know.

[dib-worm.livejournal.com]

Nny,

People giving me a hard time- apart from -you-? (Here's where I write me grinning.) Nah. It's... well, I went away because a lot of stuff's happened and I just... needed to think. I've had an alien turned into a human hitting on me (and, no, it WASN'T who you might be thinking)... I'm still kinda sorta trying to get over the whole vampirism thing and I still kinda want it but it's even more a bad idea now and... uhm.

(a couple of lines originally followed here, but are so complertely scratched out as to have been almost cut out of the parchment) ... Sorry about that, decided that was TMI, what I just wrote.

I found this neat t-shirt for sale over here, it has a front panel that changes into little faces and short sayings depending on your mood- want me to pick one up for you while I'm out here? I expect to be back in another day or so.

Dib:

PS: I hope it works out, whatever it is. You deserve to be happy too.

[waste-lock.livejournal.com]

Dib-

That sounds... disturbingly, par for the course around here. Do I want to know more about any of this?

I'd be a little worried about what a shirt like that would say if I was wearing it.

-Nny

PS: I don't know if me and happy mix very well.

[dib-worm.livejournal.com]

Nny:

I dunno, DO you? Nothing -bad- happened. It's just funny to have an alien chasing ME for once.

I am kinda... seeing someone now though. She and I just decided, or, she decided that she was OK with it and just told me so and she told me right in the middle of Hogsmeade. God, I hope I don't screw this up.

Aww, I'll get you one anyway- you don't have to wear it. I like mine, so far, and it hasn't said anything unprintable.

Dib

PS: Aw, c'mon...

[waste-lock.livejournal.com]

Dib-

As long as you're not, I don't know. In over your head, I guess.


You are? A lot of that going on around here. I certainly can't give you any good advice there.


I'm... just sort of afraid of what it might say. Around some people.

-Nny

PS: Bad things have happened.

[dib-worm.livejournal.com]

Nny,

Bad things? If you want to talk, you know...

Dib
