[Once upon a time there was a hyperactive necromancer - a girl who was obsessed with possums and would Never. Stop. Smiling.

Now, one day this necromancer met a charming man; they conversed, they smiled together (not that it took much in the princess’s case) and soon the necromancer found herself making a promise- a promise to bring many of her possum friends to the lovely place with lots of stars (also known as the Plane.) Now, the man was rather nice to the necromancer and of course she could never resist anything involving possums…

So, in present day the necromancer has found herself able to return home- Yay! This also means that she can fulfil her promise to the lovely man- thus bringing harmony (and possums) to the fairytale land…

AKA: There is now a Cally with about a dozen possums all over her- she is, of course, wearing a huge smile over all of that; even if her possums are looking faintly puzzled by all of this.

Cally does not care: yay possums!]

Public nuisance and health hazard.

[She'll just be beaming at him; because insults do not penetrate her skull] Knew you'd say something like that! Since being happy is bad an' all... Hey, I meant to ask you something- I'm not sure what though.

[ex_fatalist246]

[demonstrating his ability to ignore everything that is secondary to the goal at hand]

Please remove them.

[lovethepossum.livejournal.com]

[Cheerfully] Alright then!

[Aaaand instead of taking it as "remove them from the Plane" she'll be taking it as "remove them from her body" so, yes- possums are now dropping to the floor!]

I think it was something about death actually.

[ex_fatalist246]

[deepening lineface!]

Please return them to your reality.

[lovethepossum.livejournal.com]

[She shall be meeting this with more cheerful!]

Nope! Somebody else asked me to bring them here so I can't make them go just yet- it'd be mean.

Hm, I'm sure it was something about death...

[ex_fatalist246]

You don't need this many.

[doesn't want possums loose on the Plane]

[lovethepossum.livejournal.com]

He said that lots of them would be best.

Ah! [Finger snap of understanding!] ...Are you gonna die soon?

[ex_fatalist246]

[for a moment - a long moment of, "Did you just ask that with that expression on your face?" - Satoshi just stares]

[Then it's back to the lineface]

No.

Please contain them, then.

[lovethepossum.livejournal.com]

[Being cheerful about death is Cally's *~special skill~*; she figures that it's better to discuss it with a :D face than a >:( face (seriously; her relatives would happily conduct talks about death while poking people with pointy sticks.)]

You did say something about it though.

I was! But then you told me to drop them so I stopped containing them- make up your mind [the possums are still looking puzzled; but are slowly relating back to their evil state]

[ex_fatalist246]

I doubt it.

[glasses adjustment]

I'll contain them if you don't.

[Argentine stands there in a way that must be very familiar to Cally of her BFF up there.]

I believe those are large rodents.

[lovethepossum.livejournal.com]

[For a very quick moment Cally's face clearly says "oh, not ANOTHER person to lecture on the importance of hugs" but soon it is right back to her default]

Hi! Yeah, they are I suppose- they're called possums actually and they're the best rodents ever; wanna hold one?

[artiscordis.livejournal.com]

[He stares at her.]

Animals are rather dirty from the wild. Have you taken good care of them and kept them clean?

[lovethepossum.livejournal.com]

[Sigh] Why does everybody hate possums? They aren't bad y'know; in fact they're rather lovely to be honest- and they won't bite you!

....Much.

[Susan, who has yet to return home, is suitably distracted by the possums. Instead of hurrying back to her own universe and her own time, she pauses in outright astonishment.]

What ..? Did you bring all of these here, Cally?

[lovethepossum.livejournal.com]

[Cally, being Cally, shall be prying a possum off of her head and beaming]

Yeah! Ain't they adorable? Somebody said that I should introduce people to them and get everybody loving them; I'm not sure if it'll work but it's worth a go.

[unearthlysusan.livejournal.com]

It's certainly nice to meet them.

[Very, very strange, but nice.]

Do they have names?

[lovethepossum.livejournal.com]

[Cally's basic expression: :DDDD; SOMEBODY WHO LIKES HER POSSUMS!]

Good! They do- but we can't really communicate that well so OI don't feel all that confident with just saying them; they'd get insulted if I got it wrong.

[unearthlysusan.livejournal.com]

Oh, I see. [And she does. More or less.] That must make it difficult to talk to them properly.

[lovethepossum.livejournal.com]

Not really; you have to figure out a special way y'see- takes a bit to master but it's worth it in the end.

[unearthlysusan.livejournal.com]

How long have you been practicing?

[lovethepossum.livejournal.com]

Oh, as long as I've been in the caves- you can't really keep time down there.

[unearthlysusan.livejournal.com]

I always find it rather easy to keep time, actually.

[lovethepossum.livejournal.com]

I've never been able too- too many sundials; it never makes any sense.
