So, Pixie just gave me a fuckin' weird look when I asked her about this red string around my wrist. We already tried cutting it, burning it, you name it. Damn thing won't break. Is this some creepy community thing again? I can't go around with this thing around my wrist, gettin' in my way all the time.

Anyone got any advice?

Daryan, I told you not to worry about it. Its probably just a virus or something.

[dcrescendo.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but I still want the damn thing off. Or at least find out what the hell it's connected to.

[poison_puppet]

Mmm. I guess that makes sense. Looks like a bunch of other people have them as well. Maybe you're connected to one of them?

[dcrescendo.livejournal.com]

Oh, great. I'm connected to some fuckin' stranger. That's just fantastic.

[poison_puppet]

Well...there's a thing here in Japan that says a red string connects you to your soul-mate. I think there was something the community did around this time last year with that. Maybe you're connected to someone you love?

[dcrescendo.livejournal.com]

Funny. I don't love anybody. At least, not like a fuckin' soul-mate anyway. I think it'd be better if I just... didn't even bother.

[poison_puppet]

Mmm. Guess that makes sense. Its certainly safer that way.

But maybe it connects you to someone you don't know you love yet?

OK, see, that makes things even weirder. What happens when I go outta my way to meet this chick and everything becomes awkward because I supposedly "know" that I'm supposed to fall in love? Things don't just work like that, in my experience.

Besides, I don't believe in fate and shit like that anyway.

[poison_puppet]

Mmm. Guess I don't have enough experience with that kind of thing to say one way or another.

Well, that's a relief, at least. So you don't have any huge destiny hanging over your head or anything?

[dcrescendo.livejournal.com]

Hell, no. I don't have the luxury to worry about destiny and shit that's way too far in the future. Living in the now. That's how it'll be.

[She laughs]

You're half way to being one of us already. Living in the moment's the only way to go~

[dcrescendo.livejournal.com]

Damn right it is.

[poison_puppet]

Still, it be interesting to know who you're attached to.

[dcrescendo.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm hella curious too, but it would be better if I just knew now than go through all the work of following the thread and finding out for myself. Who knows how far this shit goes, you know?

[poison_puppet]

Good point. Plus, we just got you here. It'd be a waste if you had to go back to your home universe or something.

[dcrescendo.livejournal.com]

Yeahhh, I ain't interested in doing a world-hop back there so quick anyway.

[poison_puppet]

I guess you can wait a few days and see if it goes a way. Viruses usually take less than a week.

[dcrescendo.livejournal.com]

That's the plan, Pixie.

[poison_puppet]

Tell me if it changes, will you?

[dcrescendo.livejournal.com]

You got it.
