Hope there's no thread for this yet.

 		Hmm, the title of the blog and the username remind me of the Metric song "Help, I'm Alive"

Chorus is:

"Can you hear my heart beating like a hammer, beating like a hammer
Help, Im alive, my heart keeps beating like a hammer
Hard to be soft, tough to be tender
Come take my pulse, the pace is on a runaway train
Help, Im alive, my heart keeps beating like a hammer, beating like a hammer"

Although I strongly doubt it has anything to do with the band, especially after reading the blogs.

 		Sounds interesting, the helpmeiamalive tumblr links to the http://thecatalepticslowdeath.tumblr.com/ ...

Both of them are pretty interesting reads. catalepticfalloutSPLATyahoo.com is listed as an e-mail in the second one, might send a message off just out of curiosity.

Regarding the name "thecatalepticslowdeath" here's some info from wiki
Quote:
Catalepsy is a nervous condition characterized by muscular rigidity and fixity of posture regardless of external stimuli, as well as decreased sensitivity to pain.

Catalepsy is also a term used by hypnotists to refer to the state of making a hypnotised subject's arm, leg or back rigid. "Arm catalepsy" is often a pre-hypnotic test performed prior to an induction into a full trance.

Catalepsy is a symptom of certain nervous disorders or conditions such as Parkinson's disease and epilepsy. It is also a characteristic symptom of cocaine withdrawal. It can be caused by schizophrenia treatment with anti-psychotics, such as haloperidol. In some cases, isolated cataleptic instances can also be precipitated by extreme emotional shock. Protein kinase A has been suggested as a mediator of cataleptic behavior.


Just throwing out info I guess. :3

I e-mailed Devin this, we'll see if I get a response:

Quote:
I am unsure if I share your nightmare, but I do have some mighty oppressive dreams myself.

May I offer conversation to pass the time?

Yours Truly,

LM


Edit the second, long post is looooooong:

Quote:
Devin Black
to me

Conversation would be lovely. What would you like to talk about?

land master
to Devin
Hmhm~. Do you favor a particular hobby? I fancy drawing and writing myself. Helps me get things out of my head.


I wasn't sure how to start so haha. I'm bad at firing up convos. XD

 		Just finished a rather lengthy chat with Lev. The high points seem to be:
  • Devin is/was a bounty hunter, and Drew was his partner.
  • Drew was shot and killed, and Devin buried him in a park, with Drew's shotgun as a gravestone.
  • Devin attempted to raise Drew from the dead.
  • Brighteyes began appearing in Devin's dreams, and while he looks like Drew, he seems to be an evil version.
  • Devin told Lev about the dreams, and Brighteyes spread to Lev. Lev never knew Drew.


Take it, run with it. It is suggested that Drew is the person to talk to, at this point.

 		I'd say the dreams, probably. I'm not sure myself...I started out talking with Devin about sort of unrelated stuff, ie hobbies and the like. Found out he has a bonzai tree.

Pickin' his brain about the nightmares now.

I eMailed him a couple of days ago and got straight to the point about his dreams. I got a response today with a description of his nightmares.

Quote:
I'm far too used to talking to strangers, unfortunately. And too used to being an object of study. But I digress.
The nightmares usually consist of Drew coming back to me at some point...but he's, well he's not. He's a creature. A dead thing. I can't describe it exactly, but the closest I can come is to tell you to think of something like a corpse, but something that moves and talks and laughs while maggots spew from its tongue and blood spreads across its shirt. And then he kisses me and I wake up screaming. That's how they all end, and I had the dream again last night. They usually take place in the house we shared.

Dammit. And I was being so careful about keeping those two straight, for the rest of that post... TOO MANY 'D' NAMES! Embarassed

Anyway, had another chat with Lev.
  • Billy recently moved in with Devin
  • Lev didn't have the dream with Brighteyes, last night, but Billy did.
  • Billy is a zombie hunter.
  • Lev doesn't feel that the local zombies need hunting.
  • Proximity to Devin may be the lure for Brighteyes, or it may have something against Billy because of the whole anti-undead thing.
