[Coraline's Friends]
Um...hi. Some of you might have notices Coraline's not herself lately. I figured I'd better try to explain it to you...even if it sounds pretty much the craziest thing ever.

I...really don't want to get into the creeptastic world me and her come from, because that's just a big giant mess. But there's a parallel world involved, which is used to snare kids into living there. The parallel world has Others, they're kinda like...clones of people the kid knows, except their personality has been changed to make them seem better than the original. It's all part of the big trap to get the kid to stay in the parallel world.

There shouldn't be an Other Coraline. I mean, she was the kid who was being snared back home, but I guess the castle thought it'd be fun to turn the tables or something. Anyway, I think she's supposed to be for me, which trust me is really creepy.

But uh...what this message was for was not to...you know, blame her or anything for this. She's not the real Coraline, or at least, the castle's made her that way. She's just a copy, bait. I'm seriously hoping she won't remember any of this when she gets back to normal. Just...take it easy on her, okay? She's been through enough.

[Other Coraline]
So...did your room get candified, too?

[Concerned, she hadn't seen Other Coraline yet but this sounded serious,] Will she be alright?

Filter forever

I...dunno. I mean, she'll turn back, it's a loss. But if she remembers it?

...Probably not so much, no.

[brdskllwarrior.livejournal.com]

Well, let me know what I can do to help her through it, during or after. She's a good kid.

[why-born.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I will. She's lucky she's got friends watching her back.

[brdskllwarrior.livejournal.com]

Thanks. She's lucky to have someone like you. [Sort of ... reminds her how her BFF watched over her, during her 'moments'. She admires that, now.]

Oh, it did. It's pretty weird, I have to say. Your's did too, I'm guessing?

Other Coraline

[why-born.livejournal.com]

Uh huh, I think everyone's did.

[Oh lordy, this is awkward] So...uh. What've you been up to? [Creeping people out?]

[She sighs]

I... nothing, really. I've been trying to avoid everyone.

Other Coraline

[why-born.livejournal.com]

Oh?

...Why's that? I thought you wanted to make friends.

It's obvious man. Cool people don't do that.

Thanks, dude, I knew I could count on you.

Don't worry about it. This place gets the best of all of us.

Amen to that, and just when I thought we were getting some downtime, too.
