[12:01:53 AM] Jimi: i hear people talking outside real quiet. im scared to go near the windows. [12:02:17 AM] Jon: Jimi when did this happen? [12:03:11 AM] Jimi: did you see davan kellys painting? [12:03:25 AM] Jon: yeah I think so. The scary one, right? [12:04:15 AM] Jimi: he invited me over a couple times as a critic. he painted about a dozen of them and he wanted to know which one was scariest. i pointed to that one with the twisted face like a nightmare peeking out of the dark and told him it was like looking at a bad dream. [12:04:59 AM] – Matt is idle [12:05:02 AM] Jimi: and i dreamt about the thing in his painting that night. it wore shadow like a cloak and the face was distorted like something laying at the bottom of a pool when the waves havent settled. [12:05:45 AM] Jimi: it just stood staring at me [12:06:00 AM] Jon: damn. [12:07:06 AM] Jimi: davan called me over again and when i got there he had all these new paintings, all worse than the one i picked before. [12:07:40 AM] Jimi: i never saw anything so horrible [12:07:56 AM] Jon: that bad, huh? [12:09:11 AM] Jimi: no no no [12:09:29 AM] Jimi: not poorly done horrible. never want to see again horrible. you shoulda seen them. they were almost alive [12:13:42 AM] Jimi: i saw the thing in my sleep again, and there were others. they all stared at me like i was interrupting something and i still couldn’t make out their faces enough to see their eyes but davan said youre not supposed to look them in the eyes because youll freeze up and thats how they get you. [12:14:30 AM] Jimi: davan saw how bad they made my skin crawl and he smiled [12:15:10 AM] Jon: I haven’t seen Davan around campus. Did he lock himself in his studio? [12:15:12 AM] Jimi: and after class one day he told me the things were from his dreams. he used to dream about them as a kid and they used to scare him, and then one day he stopped seeing them. [12:15:59 AM] Jimi: but he started painting them and somehow they came back. he said he could make them appear in his dreams more vividly the more he painted them. [12:16:28 AM] Jimi: he had this theory that when we sleep sometimes we see glimpses of other worlds and it might be possible to bring part of those worlds into ours [12:18:56 AM] Jimi: davan told me that sometimes the paintings would show a twitch of movement or change slightly when he looked away. or he’d be walking past the studio door and hear his name being whispered in there. he said it scared him at first but he got used to it after a while and figured he was progressing. [12:19:30 AM] Jimi: he was crazy. i think he wanted to meet one of them in person. [12:18:37 AM] Jon: is he there with you? [12:19:04 AM] Jimi: no hes gone and im next. [12:21:00 AM] Jimi: he called me over for one last critique. he said it was really important to him and i didnt believe the shit he said before about the paintings moving. i didnt believe him. i thought he was just nuts but we were pals and i just wanted to help. [12:26:00 AM] – Jimi is idle [12:29:00 AM] Jon: Jimi you still there? [12:29:11 AM] – Jimi is no longer idle [12:29:31 AM] Jimi: davan opened the door and smiled like everything was normal. all the lights were out in his house and i started to ask him why but thats when i saw the shadows [12:31:44 AM] Jimi: they moved like there was people swimming in them [12:32:10 AM] Jimi: he invited me in but i turned and ran [12:34:12 AM] Jimi: that was last weekend and this monday i woke up thinking it was the middle of the night but it was one in the afternoon and i couldnt see outside.

[12:55:30 AM] Jon: well I can’t say he’s tripping on anything because that doesn’t explain the missing house. [12:55:55 AM] Jon: keep him company for a while. I want to see if it’s the same at Davan’s place. [12:56:11 AM] Matt: ok [12:56:31 AM] Matt: Jimi you still there?

[02:48:01 AM] Matt: this thing just appeared all of a sudden and stared him right in the eye like a snake. i dont know what it was but it was pale and gnarled and i think it was smiling [02:49:03 AM] Matt: drew froze and just stood there staring at it and before i knew what was happening the blackness slurped him up [02:49:27 AM] Matt: i flung the door closed as fast as i could [02:49:28 AM] Jon: jesus [02:54:27 AM] – Matt is idle [02:55:57 AM] – Matt is no longer idle [02:56:12 AM] Matt: i don’t know what to do. theyre out there right now looking for a way inside [02:56:43 AM] Matt: theyre smiling at me through the windows [02:56:57 AM] Matt: jon i don’t know what to do [03:01:57 AM] – Matt is idle [03:12:54 AM] – Jimi has left the chatroom [03:14:07 AM] – Matt is no longer idle [03:14:14 AM] Matt: i think jimis gone jon [03:14:49 AM] Jon: shit something weird is going on over here.
