Viewing at The Room this week is not yet set. All rooms but mine are open.

Dad.

Viewing at The Room tonight will consist of Let the Right One In and The Last Man on Earth Frankenstein movies. One screen open only.

I am not my father, and I can't help that she is my father.

I feel like the black cat no one wants crossing their path.

A fan can only do so much about the heat.

So, my father isn't the only one who enjoys terrorizing his child. At least mine has a pretty good reason, as much as I may hate to admit it. I'm sure there are kids who just love it, but imagine getting threatening letters from a clown if they disturb you in the first place.

The slots were fun for a little while, and all the lights and noise and sight-seeing are interesting, I guess, but the best thing to happen here was Maarten's new card trick, and that he showed me three days ago.

I wonder what the chances of finding a good bookstore close by are. I think I'll find out.

No thanks, Dad. I'm giving it back to you.

This sucks.

Almost New Year's.

A new year in a new place, with new people.

Even Dad is a new person.

[Locked from Horror, Carnival]

I miss Dad being Dad. I didn't think I'd ever have to say that.

Nowadays Dad pats my head when she walks by and still calls me all sorts of pet names she doesn't mean, but it isn't the same. She isn't the same. Her sense of humour is very different, and the way she looks at people......the thing is, I think I'm safer with her this way. She doesn't seem to want to get to me the way she used to. But other people.......I think they're much worse off now.

I think she's enjoying herself.

I wonder if it's safe to......... how long she'll stay like this.

It shouldn't be. How can it be? Why?

Why here? Why when I want to be here? How can they do that? Of course I know how but it's just.......

Zel? Does anyone do this sort of thing with you guys? Change like that? How does anyone just accept that?!

Why?

Who knew costumes could be so much fun? A costume is a little like a uniform, I suppose, you put it on and you're not quite the same, though who you are in it is still a part of you as a whole in your everyday life.

I'm just not sure, though....will a scar add to or take away from the look?

Things have been very peaceful, as they always are this month, but.....it seems as though not everyone is so fortunate. I've noticed some decidedly jumpy people around these days, and I've heard some complaints that sound awfully close to those I heard from the employees of The Room. I don't know what Dad does at this time of the year, but maybe he doesn't go as completely away as I thought.

October is the month where I'm surrounded by reminders of Dad and yet it's the month when I'm freest. As far back as I can remember, he's left wherever we were for the entire month.

I'm enjoying myself. It was a risk, I suppose, but it works for me. I fit, and I want to fit here. I like working. I'm used to traveling. I'm used to different faces every day. There are no closets in tents.

[Zel]

You're quiet. How's everything?

I'm used to traveling, and seeing new faces all the time. That part's not hard at all. Not having to oversee everything and keep things in check is.....different. I'm not sure when I turned into the one who handled the responsibilities, but I did. It wasn't even necessary, exactly, unless you take into account people and their feelings.

I hope everyone is okay. October at The Room won't be difficult for anyone, at least.

[Private]

He knows.

Viewing at The Room this week-end will consist of creature features. If you want to see cities destroyed and people eaten, this is the place to be.

I didn't mean to fall asleep. I told you I was tired. Still, it's not exactly what a good host does, is it? I'm sorry. I was really comfortable, though, and  I was Free movies don't do much good if the only other person in the room falls asleep halfway through. You kept up your end of the deal, so I think it's only fair to let you in again if you want to.

The popcorn was really good. Thank you.

Dad raised me to be a completely awkward person socially. Or, not raising me turned me into one. How is it that he's so charming when he wants to be? The whole time he's smiling at someone I just know he's picturing their blood all over his hands or sliding down their throats to stain their clothes. I just want to be able to treat them the way I should.
