 		Just to be on the safe side, maybe a review is called for to refresh our memories.

it's in me

Stamped: August 20th, 2006


it is bigger than i am and it is inside my skin and it scratches at me to get out i
am a cat door a dog door there is a trap door for it to get out and the father
man says shut your trap when i cry and i do and the tears flood my insides and
they ferment into a primordial goo and they become this thing that is bigger
than i am

it is on a radio frequency that only i can hear even though i have no fillings to
tune into it and it sings to me in a language only i speak and it tells me of the
past and the present but when i cry and beg for the future i get only silence and
the thing starts to scratch at me again and my dreams it haunts my dreams
forever and ever amen

i fancy that if i stare long enough at the skin on my arms legs stomach i will see
the extrusion of the claws which scrabble at my dermal layers from the inside

does it hurt this thing inside of me to be cooped up and that is why it tries so
madly to escape? does it hurt the thing as much as it hurts me? i hear it
panting and it sounds like a crayon being scribbled on paper

my eyes bulge with the pressure

i have to let it out

i'm ok, really, don't worry about me

there are just some things i need to do.

 		Dammit.

Sounds like What happened to JD is happening to Sarah.

Perhaps someone who's been in contact with her could talk it out with her?

 		How much does Sarah know about what happened to J.D.?

In journal7, J.D. says that the other man ("he") says "I'll taste her soon" and "She's coming home". The natural inference at the time was Phyllis, but I wonder if this is a reference to Sarah.

August 21st, 2006

Never fear my night-time ramblings, my ducks. I'll get through this rough patch. I'm just tired, and the muse calls to me. The dreams are vivid and draining and leech-like and insistent. Quit feeding on me, damn it. Damn it. Damn it all. When I wake up, I ache. That's not fair, is it? Whatever happened to a time of rest and renewal? The sleep time is supposed to be when the strains of day to day life slip away. My brain feels like custard. Sometimes I wish I drank. I am thirsty, but I don't know what for. I crave sleep like it is a tangible thing: a grilled cheese sandwich and a bowl of tomato soup. Comfort sleep. My old friend. Sleep thinks I hate it. I'm not talking to it anymore. It's a temporary thing, Sleep. Please let it be a temporary thing.

I pace my cage at night like a tiger. Back and forth, back and forth, wearing a groove in the floor, sizing up the walls around me. I am the house wraith, silent and pale and determined. I have work to do, here. The plaster doesn't hold paint very well. WWLDVD?

Things are weirder and weirder around here. Even Sane S. is consulting ethereal I. for advice. I give up!


WWLDVD = What Would Leonardo Da Vinci Do?

 		Sarah just updated again and added this to the bottom of her blog entry Plastered.

Quote:

Sane S. = Sarah or Sam
ethereal I. = Iris

[edit] It turns out that Sane S. probably means Sane Sam. See Shelina's post below.

 		I'm glad she's asking Iris for advice. Hopefully she'll make the connection to J.D. and be able to help.

 		Some things I have to get put up on digital paper before they are forever gone with the wind.

I'm taking this to mean that Sarah has two personalities, for example:

Sarah_P1

So when interacting with her through email, ain, etc., we need to decide which Sarah we want to talk to
and prepare our questions directed to or appealing to the side we actually want to talk to.
With this in mind, we probaly can read back through her journal and seperate out the two.
Also IMO, this multi-personality thing is becoming a big issue in the story. So we might need to keep that in mind when we interact with any of the characters.

Another note, both Dale and Sarah have the word **temporary** in there last entries. And Dale also has the word **success,** seen that anywhere lately.

[edit] So this doesn't sound so bad, I changed the names from Sane and Insane to P1 and P2.

 		I think the two personalities are Sarah Wyatt and the spirit (or whatever it is) that tormented J.D. Notice the similarities - children, ring around the rosy, something inside trying to get out, inability to sleep. I've mentioned this to Phyllis and Iris and asked them to try to convince Sarah not to stay in the Hollow Needle building.

 		Make most sense that Sane S consulting I would be Sam consulting Iris....

Maybe it's that I'm on the first cup of coffee but does anyone know what she means by WWLDVD?

My guess: "What Would Leonardo Da Vinci Do?"

 		I agree that it's "What would Leonardo Da Vinci Do?" a take off on "What would Jesus do?" She was referring to the paint not sticking to the plaster. Da Vinci was trained to paint in the fresco technique which is painting on wet plaster.

Update Anchors away

Quote:
Anchors away

Stamped: August 30th, 2006

Imagine what the boys said when they saw a Marionette enter
the classroom! They laughed until they cried. Everyone played
tricks on him. One pulled his hat off, another tugged at his coat, a
third tried to paint a mustache under his nose. One even
attempted to tie strings to his feet and his hands to make him
dance.

My strings are invisible. I think I am, too. I'm sorry, I'm not here right now. Please leave your name and a short message after the tone. I have not a care in the world. Am simply the mount, and at the touch of the whip I stretch my legs and run without worrying about where we're going. The master has miles to go before it sleeps.

Where are we going? Where are we going? Where are we going? Where are we going? Where are we going? Where are we going? Where are we going? Where are we going? Where are we going? Where are we going? Where are we going? Where are we going? Where are we going? Where are we going? Where are we going? Where are we going?

Who cares? Shh. He watches. Make not a sound, lest ye sink beneath the timbers. Termites eat at them, they erode, they petrify, and yet they stand in mute triumph, waiting to swallow the next hapless victim. I am made of wood. The timbers are made of wood? Do they have strings attached to them, too? Pull them. Pull them. Bring them back from the murk. They stretch beneath the soil and wiggle their toes in the mud. Pull the keystone. Doom will fall upon them.

No, I'm a frayed knot.

I hope to be unraveled soon. The need crawls across my skin like roaches.
