johnny -- nightmare

And here I was thinking this was all a dream.

Fuck.

johnny -- it is hungry. it is immortal
-=Voice Post=-

[When the mic clicks on, Johnny's voice floods the speakers. He's mumbling something, slightly incoherent, and repetitive. He sounds contemplative, tired, and scared -- the usual for Johnny, really.]

As I wal[   ] inside my mind,
a little girl I once did find.
In [   ] darkness she did wait,
inside her eyes the whole of fate.
She uttered one word under her breath,
to me, one word that echoed [     ]...

I'm in a building with two-thousand floors...and when they all fall down...

Hnnn.

Known Some Call Is Air Am.
Known Some Call Is Air Am...1

Look to the sky, look to yourself and remember: we are only God[  ] echoes and God is Narcissus.

Heart may still be [   ] fire in hearth but I'm suddenly too cold to [    ]nue, and besides, there's no hearth here anywa[ ] and it's the end of [    ]. [    ]sday? Almost noon? And all the buttons on my corduroy coat are gone. I don't know why. I'm sorry [     ]. I don't know what to do.

I don't know [    ] to...

I do[ ] know...

I...

I...

I will tear it to Pisces.

[1 OOC: [ ] indicates where Johnny is mumbling too much for whatever part of word there makes it unintelligible. Known Some Call Is Air Am is Johnny sounding out "Non sum qualis eram", Latin for "I am not as I was" -- so if your character knows Latin, feel free to comment.]

johnny -- nightmare
-=Voice Post=-

[Johnny apparently just woke up, as he sounds very groggy. Some of his words are rather mumbled, and might take a few re-listens to understand.]

Hmm. Sleep. A curious, evasive enigma. Yet booze and Elena seemed to help. Elena I think you're my night light okay?

...I mean, if Reno won't kill me. It wouldn't do me any good to get killed by...Yeah.

Nightmares, still, in that bizarre half-sleep that you have before after you're not really asleep but before you wake up. The worst sort. So real.

My dear Zampano, what have you lost?

johnny -- it is hungry. it is immortal
...
     The stench of rot, fills my nose, clenches the back of my throat...
     A howl...
     More like a shriek, or a scream...
     Calling...?
     I locked the door. I locked the door. I need more locks. There is no such thing as enough locks.
     My windows crumble.
     I hear it moving. Creeping. Lurking. Waiting.
     Waiting.
     Waiting.
     Always there -- always there -- ... always ...
     Scraping against the windows, against the ground, against the walls of my very existence...
     The floor disappears.
     Yet before I fall, everything that's happening, supposed to      happen, was going to happen, yet never happened at all...
     And I...
     --My dear Zampano, what have you lost...?
     ----mother...
     Why did God create a dual universe? So he might say, "Be not like me. I am alone."
     Known some call is air am.
     It is dark, and it is damp, and the reality around me shudders and heaves as if breathing, as if alive.
     Nothing can stop it.
     The house.
     The house.
     The house.
     It is immortal. It is everlasting. It consumed, consumes, is consuming.
     Everything.
     A paradox of existence, not even supposed to exist, and yet...
     I'm here.
     I'm here.
     In the house. The house.
     And Lude's dead...Clara English...Whatever happened to Clara...Thumper...Elena...Reno. Hojo.
     Facsimiles.
     But why?
     A terrible thought could have a terribly long career.
     Careening.
     Careening.
     Closer.
     Just out of sight, now -- over your shoulder, beyond the corners of the screen, where I can't see it, where you can't see it -- waiting, waiting, and when I know I should be running, I'm not running, and it's here, it's claws -- or are those fangs...
     jugular...
     and then...
     and then...
     I...

johnny -- nightmare
Little solace comes
to those who grieve
when thoughts keep drifting
as walls keep shifting
and this great blue world of ours
seems a house of leaves
moments before the wind.

...

I can't sleep.

Not surprised.

johnny -- don't look
I wrote a new footnote. I think it puts a certain perspective on things and helps me understand better.

Anyways. Elena. I thought of a list of some things I'd like next time you're over.

-Candles and/or firewood
-Booze
-Some string and some bells if possible
-Measuring tape. Also, if possible.


I swear I'm forgetting something, now.

...Did anyone else hear that thing though...?

I knew it was here.

Now it is only a matter of time.

johnny -- default this is not for you
Notes to self, again:

-Name of house is Purgatorium, confirmed ... sort of.
-Some of my delusions hate my other delusions.
-Why can't my imaginary friends just get along?
-The women I think up, are really fine.
-And they bring me tasty sandwiches. And blankets. Although of course, this is all me rationalizing how I likely went out and found these things...But hey. They came with a pretty and smart lady. What sort of guy would complain about that?
-Should've never taken that damn phone call.

johnny -- whimsical is gone


Notes to self:

-I am officially crazy. (Refer to footnotes 1, 5, 6)
-The house is named Purgatorium. (See footnote 2)
-Some things never change. (see footnote 4)

Tired.

Unable to sleep.

Typical.

Amendment:

Some of my delusions are creepy.
